Brewers (Misiorowski) vs Pirates (Bachar): 09/15/26, 5:40 PM

Geez... Joey O at .264.  I remember when he was under .200.

[BCF]

You guys rooting for Braves or Cubs tonight?

[jason21nl]

Is it my imagination or are players fouling or getting a piece of a lot more pitches from Miz the last several starts.

Sadly, probably the FIBs.  Maybe just two out of three, though.

How is it Brewer announcers don't seem to know how Magic numbers work or games ahead work. Levering just said that Brewers have a two game lead on the Dodgers,  but its really like 3 because they have the tie breaker. No. If the The Dodgers win the next 3 games and The Brewers lose the next 3 games, Dodgers have a one game lead, tie breaker or not. You can subtract a game from the Magic number,  but you can't add one to the games ahead because of the tie breaker.

I suppose I'll have to root for the flubs (yuk) so we get one of the top 2 seeds.

That's a pet peeve of mine, too.  The Brewers aren't up 3 on the Dodgers.  We're up 2.5, but everybody always adds an entire game to the lead (we'd lose, not tie, if the Dodgers go +3 games on us).

[Just Some Guy]

Cubs, for sure, right?  It helps us both ways:  we get closer to a bye and it increases our chances of meeting a Cubs team with no closer, a bleeding bullpen and inconsistent starters in the NLDS.

PNC is the only ballpark with a harpsichord.  Every time I hear it I envision Lurch!  lol

Not your imagination. His fastball has great finish but no late movement. And, the intimidation factor has lessened the more opponents see his stuff. 

[Pugger]

Miz doesn't look as sharp as he usually is tonight.

Don't know that I need the Cubs and Dodgers scores on the screen but at least it's small

 It would save me a browser tab to have Biloxi's score since they're in a playoff game.  I could do without those they have up.

Why do home fans boo when the pitcher throws to first?

It's a great question.  It makes no sense and they do it every time.  

IMHO, throwing to first is actually a good thing for the home team.  The pitcher burns half his disengagements (and nobody uses their 2nd), so now it's easier for the runner to steal.  They should cheer, not boo.

[Pugger]

Good try there by Mitchell.

[Pugger]

Miz ain't gonna last long tonight.  What is it this year and us vs. the Pirates?

[Pugger]

Lousy base running by the Bucs, thank you very much.

[HarryDoyle]

We caught a huge break there.

[Yaz]

Are Pirates fans booing or whooing?

[trwi7]

That is insanely bad coaching by the Pirates 3B coach.  Even if he held him up, he still had plenty of time to re-send him,

[RightFieldCoder]

Braves all day. I do not want the Cubs to win until they are mathematically eliminated from the playoffs.

[jason21nl]

Sure would be nice to put up a few more runs 

[Pugger]

Ouch.   That's gotta leave a mark on Mitchell.

[Pugger]

We could use a couple of runs here.
