Sorry if someone has already asked/answered this, but why aren't they showing Sophia?

It's about time. feels like they've been pretty unlucky on BABIP so far this year. especially with this team relying on "pecking"

A couple of softer bats coming up for us in the 8th against a (likely) position player. Take a few McGwire cuts and steal a cheap one boys. Juice that slugging %.

We simply can’t hit against catchers

[RobertCrawley]

The old eephus pitch.

When Chourio and Vaughn are back, I hope Black stays. Even when Yeli is back, I kind of hope he stays.

Save that bullpen, good job Jake.

Who remembers the  La Lob from Dave LaRoche I think it was?

Some fun with numbers before tonight's outburst distorts things somewhat...

Entering tonight's game the Brewers had 552 PA with the bases empty, fewest in MLB. Their 12.3 BB% is the best in the split, though their .209 batting average, seven HR, and accompanying .091 ISO are all 30th. Put everything together and the walks save them from the basement with a 78 wRC+ (27th).

Switch it over to RISP though and the Brewers' 304 PA are 7th, their 146 wRC+ is 1st, and their 114 RBI are tied for 1st.

As far as leverage splits go they are are at low leverage (93 wRC+ | 23rd), medium leverage (81 wRC+ | 25th), and high leverage (140 wRC+ | 6th).

That (along with +1.9 BsR | 4th) is how they've managed to score 4.89 runs per game (8th) and post +1.08 Win Probability Added (9th) despite an unimpressive overall 93 wRC+ (22nd).

She's there but we can only hear her voice -- at least, during the game.

Jones is an obvious victim, after that it gets interesting. I thought Blacks' chances would be based on what they think of his ability to come off the bench & put up good ABs. He made a statement tonite. 

IMO it'll be tough to find a place for him once Yelich also makes it back, unless there's another opening on the 26-man due to injury. Their LH DH & LH side of the 1B tandem would be covered. Again, they'd have to feel good about his PH prowess cuz that would be the lions' share of his role.

She was sitting in her little pit. I saw her late in the game with a look on her face like 'Why aren't they hitting this guy throwing slowpitch?'

If we’re not going to get any of the super-hyped prospects up this year, I think a post-hype Tyler Black would be a cool consolation prize.
