Dodgers (Stone) vs Brewers (Rea): 8/13/24, 7:10pm

[Bulldogboy]

Contreras lack of patience is a killer. 

[yourout]

Black has got to ditch that high leg lift.

It's why he was late on both of those fastballs.

Relative to the dodgers and the Phillies they will be.

Not for,people who have been paying attention to what they’ve been doing the last couple of months.

They were in the WS last year so if they keep playing well they will be recognized as a contender again this year.

Murphy loves throwing guys into the clean up spot so they can feel the weight of the world on their shoulders. I predict 5 lob for Black tonight. 

There goes number one. Look for 4-5 more. Murphy is bad.

[wiguy94]

Great first AB from Murph's cleanup hitter.

[HarveysWBs]

It’s got to be such a cool feeling as a color commentator to say things like, “Black has an excellent sense of the strike zone” and then watch him backwards K on the very next pitch. Classic.

I totally agree but for the casual fan the dodgers and Phillies are always going to be bigger names. I put them in the same league as those two as far as not giving us much of a chance against any of the three.

Whenever I hear an announcer say “He’s a hitter, he’s hit everywhere he’s played” (as they just did about Black) a picture of Keston Hiura jumps into my head.

[adambr2]

Turang has just tanked for the last couple months. He looks much more like last year's Brice than the Brice from the first couple months of the season.

And Lewis brinson and Brett Phillips

[BruisedCrew]

Just keep talking about how much Smith is struggling. 😡

He's going to have half his bombs for the season against us.

[Bulldogboy]

Smith is hitting 225 against the league and 500 against Brewers. How is this possible?

[yourout]

Wonder what the Brewers over/under for runs in the series is?

I'm going with 6 for the series.

[yourout]

Stacking putrid ABs one after another.

[BruisedCrew]

Frelick just needs a ground ball to the  right side or up the middle with the infield back, and he bloops out. 

[jason21nl]

Of course they’re not going to score here

[82brewcrew82]

Have you watched the Brewers, BIll.  They can waste these opportunities with the best of them.

[yourout]

One for last 15 with RISP.

[duewizard]

Pop up and a K. Not the way to go

[AdvantageSchneider]

Sal saw 4 pitches that weren't anywhere close to the strikezone and he swung at 2 of them.  He doesn't have anywhere near enough power to not be a heck of a lot more selective than that.

[Bulldogboy]

We need new hitting instructors. Situational hitting is something that can be taught imo. They need help.

No argument here. We just do not show enough in season improvement to warrant keeping them.

[yourout]

That got out in a hurry.

[duewizard]

Man I hate playing against Shohei. Such a good player
