I faced guys with better stuff than that when I was playing senior men's in the '90s

I mean, cmon, lol. This did make me laugh. I know you're being facetious and I get it, he's sucked. 

It is head scratching because there are likely other arms that could occupy his 40-man spot AND contribute to the Brewers. I don't really get this kind of move, either.

We’ve scored enough runs to win tonight but the pitchers are subpar & we likely lose a winnable game 

[duewizard]

I'd rather have Anderson pitch than Elvis

Worth something to get through this one with just two pitchers.

 

Bad take.

We didn’t have enough fresh arms to pitch this game much differently. Maybe Grant Anderson or Peguero/Koenig with a lead.

[edfunderburk]

Murphy should let Thomas finish the game 

I don’t agree with most of his in game decisions

While it is a stretch there was actually a couple of ex MLB guys in the league. 

Vern Giesheirt while he was in his early '50s still could throw.

But there also guys that were lobbing up 50 mph curve balls.

There was such a massive range of talent. 

There was a few young guys that were not that far out of college and minor league days that were still pretty damn good but there was a bunch of guys that should have been playing slow pitch.

Reminds me of a friend of mine playing Men's hockey in Whitefish, MT. I forgot which ex NHLers played in his league but it sounded pretty competitive. He got better as he got older. Now he's just older and doesn't play hockey anymore.

At least maybe we can deplete their bullpen for tomorrow.

To me it looks like Contreras is sporting a little bit bigger front foot lift compared to last year.

On edit. Never mind The video looks pretty similar other than a bit of a toe tab that he didn't have last year

[Frisbee Slider]

Sal going for the cycle on that swing 

[Frisbee Slider]

Sal Frelick .400 batting average watch (.396 now)

[yourout]

Well look at that. Good things happen when you don't strike out

I think it's a wider step toward 3rd base. 

[Bulldogboy]

Lazy Diaz is rough

[RobertCrawley]

That was a strike.

Someone has to take up the mantle as worst umpire in MLB.

There will never be another Angel Hernandez 

[Bulldogboy]

Gotta wonder what happens when Perkins comes back if Mitchell and Frelick are hitting. Yelich for some reason won't be playing first base I guess. 

[RobertCrawley]

Undunn.
