I was a little nervous today, as the Brewers never seem to win when I go to the game, but I guess I was the good luck charm today. First time at the new Braves stadium, which is fairly close to where I live (it's on the same street as my first apartment - that would've been cool to just be able to walk to games). I didn't explore the facilities, but it seemed very nice. Cozy, too. Had seats in the lower of the two upper decks, around the home plate area. Fantastic view. My wife and I decided to be clever and park at her office and walk to the game to save money and to have an easier time getting in an out. She works very close to the stadium, but it still turned out to be a 30 minute walk. We'll pay for closer parking next time. -
Of course, the weather has to be nice today. Forecast is 60% chance of rain all afternoon, so my family and I decided not to go to the game and aim for tomorrow afternoon, instead.

If we stay in contention, maybe we can trade for C.C. Sabathia on the cheap!

I disagree. That was not a difficult play. And in that situation they are going to go for the out at third. Thames knows he is not fast and that was not smart base running. And I'm going to disagree with you. Swanson was going up the middle away from third base. Almost never is a SS going to make that throw to 3B when there's an easy out at 1B. Plus, there was a very good chance - from Thames' point of view - that the ball was going up the middle. It obviously was closer to Swanson than he thought, but breaking for third is pretty much automatic when the ball is hit to your left.

Did everything they could in those last couple innings. Hit the crap out of the ball, just came up one run short. The #1 draft pick saved the Braves in the 9th.
-
He was clearly out.
-
Yup. I'm actually shocked that a few minutes have elapsed and nobody here has complained.
-
The problem is not that he wasn't hustling. It's that he WAS hustling.
-
Welp, that was unlucky.
-
It's not an overly important record, but I wouldn't say it's pointless. When a pitcher is only going to face three batters in a close game, striking at least one of them out - and therefore not letting them put the ball in play and even have a chance at getting on base - is pretty huge.
-
The Cubs would've called this game two weeks ago.
-
I'm disappointed in the top of the 10th, but I'm still not sure how much more people wanted in the 9th. Yes, Santana striking out sucked, but Bandy drilled one and got robbed, then Perez lined one right at Belt. It's not like all three guys struck out or hit pop-ups. It was frustrating, but I'm not going be all, "OMG the Brewers hitters totally blew it, totally choked!"
-
There is a very enthusiastic fan at the game.
-
Meh, I pulled up a stream and the failure to get the guy in from third was more bad luck than crap hitting. After Santana's strikeout, the next two outs were line drives. Not much more you can ask for than to hit the ball hard. We did score two runs and did get one of those in from 3rd with no outs.
-
Can someone explain the on-field delay? Is it a review?
-
Oh man, ground rule doubles suck with a guy on 1st.

I was excited for a moment, but then saw that the "regional" coverage game here in Atlanta is...Detroit vs. Anaheim.

What does a streaker sound like. slapslapslapslapslapslap

Who is the only Milwaukee player to do it? I know, but only because I was just looking at the list. Gennett is now on a list with Willie Mays, Lou Gehrig, and Mike Schmidt.
-
My god, Gennett hit his fourth HR of the night. 5 for 5, 4 HR, 10 RBI

Does it count as a Golden Sombrero if you also have a hit?
-
If I was on top of things, I would've posted before the game my over-under on strikeouts tonight. 9 through 4 innings seems about right.

Braun was never a bad person to begin with. He's always seemed like a pretty nice, considerate person. He did PEDs, which obviously wasn't good. The results of his failed test then got improperly leaked (*giggle*), essentially forcing him to lie, as he and his legal team knew that there was a screw-up in the handling of the sample, meaning that he could possibly win the appeal. OMG BUT HE LIED. HE LIIIIIEED. We all would have lied. Had his failed test not been made public, he would've gone about the appeal without any of us knowing and won without having to put up a facade. Of course, he then would've been caught in the later investigation, anyway, but then everyone could forgive him because he wasn't a LYING LIAR. None of that makes him a bad person. He broke the rules and ended up in a media circus. Some of how it played out (other than the actual taking of PEDs) was his fault, some wasn't. Since then, he has been a good player who seems like a pretty cool dude, but because he has dealt with nagging injuries and makes a lot of money, we get all pissy and fall back on grudges as a way to feel better about our best player not being able to contribute.
