Double yikes

[adambr2]

(3-2 pitch right down the middle)

Rock: “High fastball. Bauers not able to lay off of it.”

[edfunderburk]

First six Brewers batters strike out … awful

[adambr2]

Yelich is not going to be a competitive hitter against playoff type pitching.

[adambr2]

Looks safe. If it were us I’d be certain they’ll still with the call on the field. Being that it’s Philly they probably won’t. 

[adambr2]

That’s 100% a play that I’ve seen New York many times say “nahh we just don’t know for sure” when we challenge. 

[adambr2]

This is our Game 3 starter, eh?

[Yaz]

Might be turning this one off early.

Who the hell else should it be? There are no good options.

Dustin May continues to give the Brewers exactly what they wanted when they traded for him

[BruisedCrew]

This is going to be a tough series. 

The Phillies need wins and the Brewers are resting and experimenting with pitchers.

I think the board's majority opinion is Gasser.

[Just Some Guy]

What's the party thing going on in Mil?

[Yaz]

Oh man - this crap outside the stadium is going to be ANNOYING for the next several days,.   Knock it off and show the games period.

If we’re going by who has actually pitched well lately, it’s Gasser.

His bat looked soooooo slow on strike 3.

That's so gross. He has never given me confidence. He's a soft tosser, that's fine against lefties I suppose, but not against righties. He will cruise and then gives up a bomb at the worst time. He's a one time thru the order pitcher. That's not going to cut it.

Imagine a 5 game series, Brewers win the first two, and then Gasser takes the hill to try for the sweep. Yeah I pretty much know how that's going to turn out..great thru 3 innings. In the 4th a Walk, a base hit, a bomb...ballgame, see you in game 4. 

 

[Yaz]

Harrison again?  Ok let's see how this goes.

Not sure if it is what they wanted but it shouldn’t be unexpected.

Who cares?  It's the playoffs with a ton of off days and a couple starters in the bullpen.  You don't need every starter to go deep into games.

It's a joke becuase Jopal said that May was giving the Brewers exactly what they needed.

You also don't want your starters getting shelled(and he probably would). You also don't want to be using 3-4 bullpen arms every game either.
