Yea, that was stung.

Umm, that ball was hammered.

No kidding. What was that about? Freddy made a good 2-2 pitch that missed but he thought it was good.

What happened? Dont have the game in front of me.

My birthday weekend. Think I'll be heading to that one.

True, but I thought I read the testing was more rigorous if they arent.

gamecast shows it just catching the outside of the zone. On the tube it was far outside. Pitch 3 was a strike called a ball though. Even worse pitch to Cain called a strike. Lol. Wow.

It does seem like they are getting good hacks but just cant square it up.

I mean...he wasnt on 2nd, but I hate that.

if you're placed on the injured list as a close contact, it's because you are not fully vaccinated. fully vaccinated players who test negative cannot be placed on the injured list for close contact. Just to clarify, Hader tested positive so he may or may not be vaccinated. Declining to answer if you are vaxxed definitely leads to some assumptions.

They knew Milwaukee can't hit soft tossing lefties, so they loaded up for our 13 games or whatever.

Probably just depends which line you go to. In Pittaburgh my wife was let in with a purse that was about a quarter inch too tall. We walked to the next gate and thr dude just waved us in.

Apparantly he was hitting 98 and was dominating AAA.

Good question.

Did not realize he was even in the league.

Update for any curious. Flight left Monday at 645am. Thought if we left at 4am to get to the airport at 515 we would be fine. Got to the airport at 535ish. Longest line I have ever seen. They were shoving people through security knowing people had early flights. We had to run to our plane at the end of the terminal and boarded at 6:29. Layover in Detroit and had no issues with either flight out there. Stayed at the Renaissance and upgraded to get a room overlooking the river and into PNC. Amazing view. Went downtown to get lunch and almost every place was closed or didnt open until 4pm(there were a few places open that we werent going to try for our first meal in 16+ hours, thai, sushi, etc). Found a delicious mexican place after walking for about an hour. Hit up a few local Breweries and called it a night around 10. Walked 6 miles or so. Tuesday went to the strip district and hit up the touristy area. Got a sammy from Prinati Bros(sp?). Was an interesting mix. I liked it more than the wife. Hit up the history museum for a few hours and then went down towards the park. Grabbed a bite across the street and headed in. Got tickets on the 3rd baseline in the first row. Looked right towards the hotel. Beautiful view, but the seats were kind of sunken below field level, so we moved up 5 or 6 rows and had a great view of the game. Plus, the Crew won. Also, the Iron City beer was quite good. Grabbed a slice after the game and called it a night. Wednesday went to the strip district again for some breakfast and a little gift shopping for the grandparents and kiddos then walked to the Duqsene(sp?) lift to check that out. Had a view from up top into Heinz field and saw the Steelers training camp...well a sliver of it anyway. Went downtown for dinner where all the places on Monday were closed and found a rooftop bar, which we had been looking for since we landed. Ha. Got tickets in the left field bleachers for Wednesdays game and that was nice as well. Walked around a bit and did not see a bad view in the house. PNC really was nice. Everyone was friendly and I talked up a few locals as well as a few people from Wisconsin. One of the beer vendors grew up in the Sauk area, so we chatted a bit. Flew out around noon Thursday with the same layover. Another couple of easy flights and back to Wisconsin. Overall the trip was fun. Brewers won, got some beer, and PNC was great. Not sure I'll go back as the city itself was just kinda...meh to me.

Was a great scoop. No doubt.

Just tuned in for the 2nd. Saw all 3 Brewer hitters with a called strike that was well off the plate. It is beyond frustrating. Edit: and the pitch to Riley far inside. I've seen 4 hitters and all 4 have been greeted with a bad strike.

Yep! I put on 7 pounds over my trip to Pitt. 24 hour fast dropped 4 pounds. Obviously it's a lot of water weight, but it does wonder for my psyche. Edit: I may have mentioned it and forgot. JJ Watt does a 24 hour fast after every 'big meal/day's. That's where I got the idea. He basically ssid it shocks the body back into normalcy.

CB Bucknor is bad.

This would be really funny.

These guys are bad at their jobs. Really? Cause the biggest takeaway I got from that is the average is 95%. That sounds pretty good. If course the average is going to be high. Many are clearly balls or strikes, and they still get them wrong.

These guys are bad at their jobs.

Ugh. Had him there. Dang.

Guess the cubs got to choose between Madrigal or Crochet.
