Which is weird because they’re only 2 games back of the final wild card spot. Well… were…

[Dragonbait]

Every Brewer starter reached base.

Don't understand why pitchers have such a hard time throwing to 2nd.

It's certainly a little weird, considering they can pinpoint 95 MPH pitches, but there are a few reasons. Throwing to second, they have to spin around quickly, locate their target, and find their footing and proper release. They aren't going to practice that nearly as much as an infielder practices throwing, if at all. And when you think about it, infielders don't typically have to do a 180 like that.

In addition, going from repeatedly throwing off a mound to instantly off of the grass can sometimes be a difficult transition with no warmup throw. On top of that, they are often partially on the mound, not even on flat grass.

When I pitched, I tried to deliberately set myself (if I had time) when throwing to a base and then really whip it to make it feel as much like a pitch as possible.

Yikes.   Embarrassing evening for Seattle.  Lovely evening for Brewers :)

Winning games by 13 runs is boring. Where's the excitement?

[BruisedCrew]

Does anyone else remember when it was common for people to have. “13 run pools”. Everyone would put a certain amount of money in a pot and draw a team. Whoever had the team that scored 13 runs first would win the pot and then you’d do it all over again.

I think teams scoring 13 runs is more common now than it was in the 60s and 70s. 

[Nola Beery]

Whenever we score gobs of runs like this, I always wish we could save some for later. But I'm just happy that we're scoring a ton.

 Just curious, but did some of their team miss the plane?

[TwinsBrewersWorldSeries]

This is fun.  Hoping we have turned a corner

Just got home from watching Pratt and T Rats and holy crap!

[Dragonbait]

This is just painful to watch.

[Bulldogboy]

Brewers play so well at home that number one seed is looking huge.

It’s a blowout and there’s a position player pitching, but the two outfielders jogged to the Contreras double.  Looked like a Sunday softball league OF play.

[Yaz19]

So, we getting a Mariner position player in the 8th?  Well, I forgot to send this in time, and it is a position player, LOL!

Pratt is at Appleton? Sweet my parents are taking my kids to the TRats game tomorrow. 

[trwi7]

Does it count if it's off a position player?  lmao

[jason21nl]

* on the homer lol 

[BCF]

I throw faster than this major leaguer 

[ClosetBrewerFan]

We need forfeit rules.  38 mph?  That's ridiculous.  Lara's 1st HR is sorta tainted.

[wallus]

I wonder how many guys have their first career home run against a position player

[TURBO]

Bummer that Lara has to have his first against a meatball position player...

[Yaz19]

LOL!!! Lara had the pitch before he went yard called a strike.  The problem was that it was helmet level.

Might be in Milwaukee tomorrow.

[trwi7]

We'll see if Lockridge can catch Lara in home runs tonight.

Just for tonight.

[folly412]

Lara's gonna tell his grandkids his first homer was a walk-off against a tough knuckleballer.
