Me at my kids’ baseball practice, noticing they’ve added a tack on run on Skenes every time I check my phone.

Could Frelick be the second coming of the ignitor??

Skenes is a bum. I'm predicting 5 ER off him today and he gets pulled in the third.

Close prediction 4 ERs in 4 innings, good call. BTW, Murphy needs to put Turang in the cleanoff spot.

Yep. Ump has really been bad. His score card is going to favor the Brewers by quite a bit, unless he evens it out, in which case... crap. 

He wants a free burger at George Webb’s before leaving town tomorrow night

Turang next year

My good luck thing seems to be to keep the IGT open on my Kindle.  Can't shut it down forever now.

I walked into the kitchen for a beverage and thought Turang hit another one. I was going to say he's on an absolute heater.

Any time I leave the room with the Brewers batting, I press pause on the remote

I'm sure they have been financially prepared for this for a long time.

I wouldn’t mind this being Freddy’s last inning.  Keep him fresh for the stretch run, and trust the pen to hold up vs the Pirates.

[ToolShed55]

If you'd said the Brewers would have a double- digit winning streak WITHOUT Chourio in the lineup, I'd have been checking the calendar to see if it was early April.

[kevinisaname]

Hell of an outing by Freddy. He outdueled Skenes. Pham's got warning track power this series and I love it! Hate that guy.

[HarryDoyle]

That one scared me.

[markedman5]

Pham can’t catch a break.

Thats a shame 

[kevinisaname]

PCA strikes out with the bases loaded to keep the Toronto lead at 4-1.

[duewizard]

Just what we needed for Freddy. I'd pull him. Let Ashby take us home

[HarryDoyle]

Unforced error by the opponent. You know what that means.

LMAO what was that by the 2nd baseman???

No one wants a part of Sal.
