I think Keller has been incredible tonight. His stuff is up a tick and he's been on the edges all game. I genuinely believe the Brewers have been pretty good at the plate tonight. They just can't sequence the hits together to save their life tonight.

Sequencing hits is the name of the game, otherwise this is what you get.

You can get away with things as long as you don't have multiple walks or multiple walks and errors in an inning

If you keep the ball in the park and don't give up free bases you're not going to give up many runs in the MLB. 

[Brian]

Here is our chance.

[TURBO]

Contreras is an absolute joy to watch!

It's unbelievable, seems he gets on base every single time!

Have you seen Slow Horses? That's a lot of fun, but it's on Apple.

[Sixtolezcano]

Ball 4 Yelich.

[Brian]

Another bad call.

Man that strike zone is moving around tonight.

[yfinn6]

Yelich needs to take a rip at that. 

Stay at 2nd Willy. 

[RobertCrawley]

Willy was way out on third. But great double.

Why in the hell is Adames going to 3rd with 2 outs down 3?

Was Lane sending him?

It wouldn't shock me...

[TURBO]

Simply put, Adames just isn't very disciplined when it comes to anything offensively.

Usually thats the runners decision rounding second.

Apparently he never played Little League, where they drill that rule into you from the start. Ah well, they got a couple back.

That’s on the runner…….he’s got the view in right…..if you can’t make it standing up without a throw you stay put……that’s little league stuff

[yfinn6]

That'll do it. Thanks.

He's fine as a back-of-the-bullpen guy, but Murphy uses him all the time. He's his "down multiple runs in the seventh or later guy," whether "multiple runs" means 2 or 6.

I do not understand how Murphy uses the bullpen. It's not even that I disagree, just that I see no overriding philosophy at all, really, and that troubles me. I actually question the guy's understanding of leverage.

When Veiera pitches, a 2 run deficit becomes a 6 run deficit - so as long as he’s on the roster - Murphy can use him however he wants

I'll have to look into that. I've also been rewatching For All mankind
