2017-06-23: Brewers (Nelson) at Braves (Foltynewicz) 6:35 PM CDT [Brewers lose, 5-4]

[newrivervalley]

Boy does Suter speed up the game. Gets the ball, takes the sign and throws. Love it.

[jerichoholicninja]

A mediocre starting pitcher. Reminds me, the other day at miller park i saw a matt kinney jersey.

 

Mediocre is rather generous.

[jerichoholicninja]

Well Freeman was terrible last year but not so terrible this year.

I mean he was no jimmy haynes.

Haven't seen him pitch this year and the ERA is obviously good but a 2.42 ERA with a 1.48 WHIP seems like an incredibly lucky line.

[SomewhereInTime]

Well at least the cubs lost.

Wes Obermueller was just unlucky all the time.

[dlk9s]

Welp, that was unlucky.

[topper09er]

hussle Aguilar you fat lard

[dlk9s]

hussle Aguilar you fat lard

 

The problem is not that he wasn't hustling. It's that he WAS hustling.

[pacopete4]

Tough break there. Hit it hard too.

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Arcia made up for his sloppy defense. Looks like Thames will have to do the same to turn this one into anything other than an L.

 

I second enjoying watching Suter pitch. He's the solution to all the pace of play hand-wringing.

[jerichoholicninja]

Ball was hit behind him. 9 times out of 10 the SS goes to 1B. Can't really blame Thames for a great play.

[adambr2]

I didn't see it so I'm just going by what they said on the radio, but unless Thames was clearly out it makes no sense why Counsell wouldn't at least try to challenge that.

Yup. I'm actually shocked that a few minutes have elapsed and nobody here has complained.

[dlk9s]

He was clearly out.

[pacopete4]

Yeah just a series of unfortunate events combined with a couple errors and it equates to this loss. Crap.

[adambr2]

He was clearly out.

 

Gotcha, on the radio they said Thames might have snuck a hand in there.

[dlk9s]

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.

[adambr2]

Too bad, this was a very winnable game, lost on bad D and bad luck.

[Taylor Blue]

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.

[jerichoholicninja]

He was certainly out but not clearly out. And it's up the umpires now, Craig can't challenge he can only ask them to look at it.

[adambr2]

0 and 25 now when trailing after 8, yikes.

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.

I think we've seen enough of the replay system to know by now that if you want them to look at it, they'll look at it.

 

I didn't see it and it sounds like it wouldn't have mattered but if it's remotely questionable there's no reason not to ask.
