Rockies (Freeland) vs Brewers (Misiorowski): 7/26/26, 1:10pm

[yourout]

Thank you.

A ground ball to the 2B should result in an easy out

[edfunderburk]

We need at least six innings from our ace … four last outing, five today … not enough. Ks are a cool stat. Winning the game is the better stat.

I've been quite underwhelmed with Lara defensively so far. His jumps have been really poor.

He would have gone 6 innings in both starts if they weren't limiting his innings.

Maybe the Brewers can wake up from their nap now.

Hard to do when the Brewers are managing pitch count for a young rotation to be healthy end of year. Happy to get 5 this time.

Yep, still getting used to the major leagues. He will win a couple of gold gloves before it's all said and done.

Boom!

Vaughn making up for his screw up in the top half :)

Vaughn sucks.  Why is he playing so much?

He murders lefties.

[folly412]

I swear every homer from Vaughn is hit to that same spot.

[yourout]

Finally got one to hit and didn't miss it.

I don't know about that especially if he's going to be in CF. PCA is that good defensively.

[yourout]

Vaughn 6 for 20 with a couple of bombs.

From the good that I’ve seen, I believe that he’s fully physically capable of playing any MLB outfield position at a decent enough level.

From the bad that I’ve seen, his outfield instincts are still in AAA mode and he hasn’t made the adjustment to MLB hitting yet. 

Everything happens faster and the margin for error is less. 

Balls come off the bat differently, launch angles are different and exit velocities in general are higher. 

Hopefully this will be something that is correctable with enough time and reps.

I predict Sanchez will waste our second challenge here.

[yourout]

Would be curious to know what Vaughns batting average is in his third and fourth at bats in a game.  Seems like he does a lot of his damage later.

A lot less than I care about the difference between the 2 and 3.

It can matter (see the NLDS last year) but a lot of other things will matter more in winning a series against the Dodgers than who would host Game 7. Neither is particularly better or worse at home or away, either.

Oh yeah, 2-to-3 seeds are a huge difference. I was just wondering how much people cared about 1-2.

Just as I was going to pat myself on the back...

[TwinsBrewersWorldSeries]

12 for 28 is terrible guys.

i really really miss Uecker, our announcers are obnoxious.

agree with then though “why challenge that” With a 2-0 count?

[jason21nl]

Sanchez doesn’t give two bleeps about the team.  It’s about him.

I thought he was going to lose that easy.
