Let's bring back the Zach Davies offense today! Come on boys..

[MoreTrife]

Which soft tosser is better...

[trwi7]

O/U on discussions about the wind and/or wind direction is set at 64.5

[TURBO]

I hate, absolutely HATE these freaking Ascension commercials...

 

I have to have seen them 1000 times this season, and it is to the point that they actually anger me now.

Okay Zach it's your turn to tame the Cubs and get the sweep.

[newrivervalley]

Thames at lead off? Maybe he's the only one who plays situation baseball?

Is this your first Brewers game in awhile? He's led off plenty as of late.

[MoreTrife]

I didn't play baseball above little league but boy it's hard to understand how Hendricks gets batters out.

[Austin Tatious]

Man, I love how fast Davies works. He doesn't waste any time. Throw the ball back to him and let's go.

[LouisEly]

Movement and command. He has a little cut fastball that runs into LHH, a 2-seamer that backs up, and a change that runs away from LHH. When he gets ahead in the count he's lethal - you don't know if it's going to cut into or back away from you.

 

He tries to get ahead in the count, and you have to attack early when he tries to put that little cut fastball over for a first pitch strike. Thames and Walker watched two meatballs on the first pitch of their ABs.

[MrTPlush]

The postseason starts today for the Brewers. If the Brewers want to pull off a September comeback today is where it has to start.

[LouisEly]

So far Hendricks getting the LH edge of the plate but Davies wasn't.

O/U on discussions about the wind and/or wind direction is set at 64.5

 

How about for comments about the strike zone? 645.5?

Does "that two-seamer tails back over the plate" count? Because Bill already hit 646 in the 1st inning if it does.

[Austin Tatious]

The strike zone the other night when that tiny guy was the home plate umpire was inconsistent as can be.

[Austin Tatious]

The Cubs really need a legit CF. When they parted ways with Fowler, I had a feeling that it would bite them.

[newrivervalley]

This is baseball!

[MrTPlush]

That was predictable. Never make your first step in...unless you are a Brewers RF. Braun/Santana/Perez. Some terrible things we like to throw out there in RF the past few years.

[yfinn6]

Nice catch, Hernan.

[Austin Tatious]

Come on Perez. That was do-able. With Hendricks on deck, that was inexcusable.

[stoutdude04]

Thats just pathetic.

[stoutdude04]

David Gruber really likes to move his head when he talks.

[SomewhereInTime]

I mean Perez made a bad play there but he is a far better corner outfielder than Santana and Braun.

[Austin Tatious]

Calling that a double was pure charity.

 

Next year, we shouldn't have to be subjected to Perez in right.
