70s night! Brewers in the powder blue unis.

 

[yfinn6]

These uniforms for the Brewers are great.

[1992casey]

Yep. They're the 1976 double-knits with the block M on the cap.

[reillymcshane]

Nice, Santana.

[dacrew101]

Philly made out well in the Ken Giles trade, I like this Velasquez guy

[1992casey]

Yeah, Santana throwing out Herrera at home was great.

 

Telly surveyed the players on the uniforms. They were fine with the look, but they don't like how they're made. They specifically mentioned that they were too hot.

 

When double-knits were dropped, players were really happy to go back to a button front, a real belt, and a natural fabric.

[pacopete4]

Yeah if we could get an arm like Velasquez for Jeffress or Smith I'd be happy.

[pacopete4]

Nelson doesn't have the goods tonight. Getting swatted around a bit.

[reillymcshane]

Scooter can't even make the tag properly. That was awful follow through on his part. Bad fundementals.

[Warning Track Power]

Scooter needs to go. He makes mental mistakes that are pretty easily avoidable.

[pacopete4]

Scooter needs to go because his mistakes happen too often and he's not a good enough player to warrant keeping him.

[dacrew101]

jimmy struggling

[trwi7]

Really impressive by the fans to not reach out for that ball.

[pacopete4]

Come on Braunie, get us back in this one!

 

 

I think he only saw one strike the entire at bat.

[adambr2]

All that work by Carter for a GIDP.

[TracyThom]

Impressive debut by Mr Barnes. His slider was particularly nasty.

[And That]

Barnes has really tighten up his slider since last I saw him. That sharp little late 1 to 7 break at 90-91 is pretty nasty. As long as he can keep it down, that's a major league strikeout pitch. Fastball still pretty straight, though.

That slider was sick.

[CheezWizHed]

Unless Barnes is inconsistent, i doubt he sees MiLB life again

[And That]

Unless Barnes is inconsistent, i doubt he sees MiLB life again

Agreed, though it'll force their hand on someone without options.

[1992casey]

Adam McCalvy wrote "There is a chance Barnes' stay will be short. Another reliever, Corey Knebel, should be ready to return from the disabled list early next week."

 

I wouldn't be surprised if Jacob has to be sent down to accommodate someone else, simply because his option situation would allow for it. He sure was impressive tonight, though.

[Outlander]

Unless Barnes is inconsistent, i doubt he sees MiLB life again

Agreed, though it'll force their hand on someone without options.

You might be right but I doubt it on a team filled with guys with no options. Wouldn't mind Barnes being the guy to go back and forth though instead of Goforth.

[Jimbo]

I missed the game due to other commitments. In hind sight, would have been nice to catch some of it. I was a ten year old in 1976 and I really did like the robin egg blue scheme with the Blue with yellow trim. The M on the caps looked a tad too big.
