I guess it's a high strike zone today...

Of course you'd like it. But rotation shufflings are a very delicate thing especially when you have guys coming off injury. 

Yeah.  Unless the team is trying to sneak into a playoff spot in the last week of the season, just pitch them how they line up.

I missed who the anouncer is with anderson.

[yourout]

This might get away this inning.

Vinny Rottino.  Seems a bit timid getting used to the role, but much preferred to Dillard.

[LouisEly]

This competition amongst pitchers to catch pop-ups needs to stop.

Thanks , he has promise 

[Brewcrew82]

Not a strike. Not even close.

Who said they were?  But I would be less bored watching the Brewers than watching TV ads errrrr NFL games.  And we are back to the game 5-minutes later now back to the commercials! Oh wait the ref's are talking about something back to commercial! Wait now the NFL is deciding if another commercial is needed back to commercial.  Now back to the game and you guessed it back to commercial!  2 and half hours of commercials and about 30-45 minutes of game played.  BORING!

I'm watching the Packer's game. What you said above is a COMPLETE exaggeration. It is absolutely nothing like that!

[Brewcrew82]

Sal Frelick with yet another multi-hit game in AAA. Leads the International League in hits in August and he just got promoted. Something to consider for the big league club...

[SomewhereInTime]

Why again do we continue with the dumbest first base platoon of all time?

[bulldogboy0733]

There was no chance Yelich was putting a ball in play there. Brutal

[SomewhereInTime]

God forbid yelich sits vs a lefty, that mediocre bat makes too much money to sit i guess.

[yourout]

Yelich has cooled off.

[bulldogboy0733]

Problem with these guys is they are 0-2 in almost every big ab they have. Tough to hit that way.

[SomewhereInTime]

And the .280 obp #2 hitter cant even get a ball in play vs a lefty.  What a massive disappointment of a season for Wily.

[yourout]

Wonder what the record this year is against left-handed starters.

Runner at 3rd, nobody out, 2 strike outs. No runs. Bad bad baseball.

If they're not going to play Davis, might as well bring up Frelick or Turang.

Frelick needs to wait a few days to preserve rookie eligibility next season though, cause I'm calling it that he's winning 2023 NL ROY.

Adames gets a free pass alot.   Batting him second is ridiculous 

 

[yourout]

You cannot walk O'Neal with two outs to get to Goldschmidt. That can't happen.

But Goldschmidt already made them pay.  Chances are he won't get a hit the second time they walk a batter in front of him.
