2018-07-05: Braves (Fried) at Brewers (Chacín) 7:10 PM CDT [Brewers win, 7-2; Chacín clutch w/strong 7 innings]

Is making the heart shape with their hands the braves version of team building, like Brewers/Cain show me a little love? If so that's really stupid. It's for teens and EDM shows.

 

The stuff the Brewers do is pretty stupid. The show me a little love, the gauntlet, the bullpen hands over head clapping and jumping around.

 

Yeah you're right. But the heart shape with hands is the gold medal of stupid.

 

I think the bullpen clapping might be the gold medal of stupid. Point being all of that stuff is stupid and if I played in the majors I'd probably be labeled a bad teammate for refusing to do it. Don't have a problem with players that do, just that they all know they look really dumb.

Seems like the TV and radio line up is as fluid as the 25 man roster.

[Eye Black]

Just a great sequence all around by Villar. Gets the leadoff double, swipes 3rd after the K to open up the sac fly chance, and scores on a pretty shallow fly to ensure the chance isn't wasted. Well done.

Completely agree. I have been hard on Villar at times, but that was a masterful job all around to manufacture a run.

[PinaMadness]

Baseball easily has the stupidest traditions of any sport. It's not even close.

[liveforoctober]

Dear Perez. Hitting the ball where it is pitched is a beautiful thing. Great job. Please continue.

[Boomer5]

I absolutely love watching Markakis throw. We should be running all day long

[young guns]

Anyone else want some kfc?

[PinaMadness]

Been nice knowing you, Arcia.

[adambr2]

Welcome back Ty!

[owbc]

It's fun to watch this offense go to work.

Lol, didn’t even bother to try on the double steal.

[phnxcrew]

Time to trade Arcia for Realmuto? Saladino >Yount

[PinaMadness]

Lol, didn’t even bother to try on the double steal.

Because he plays right field.

[topper09er]

Great read on that by Broxton

[wildcat83]

Coshun gets excited... Gonna be a tough play.... camera pans to Kratz being 15 feet from first yet.

[timpep]

Nice job by Kratz to get the ball in play and get that run in ahead of the pitcher.

[adambr2]

Good job Kratz, but holy smokes are you slow. I was watching that thinking, "They're not going to be able to get him" and he's out by 3 steps.

[bigredrobbo]

Chacin laid off that pitch like he knew what the heck he was doing!

[wildcat83]

NICE!!! How did he drop that?

[PinaMadness]

We can get free runs too.

[adambr2]

Whew. Probably should have stayed put, but it worked out.

[markedman5]

Playing small ball tonight baby

[topper09er]

4 points with no home runs yet? seems like a first for us this year

[KeithStone53151]

Oh man, if I was a Braves fan I may have thrown my remote straight through my TV. Love the miscues though. Good things happen when you put the ball in play...except for Villar right there.

[KeithStone53151]

Good job Kratz, but holy smokes are you slow. I was watching that thinking, "They're not going to be able to get him" and he's out by 3 steps.

 

I'm pretty sure Camargo looked up before throwing and eased up big time when he realized how slow Kratz was. I think pretty much everyone on our team not named Kratz or Aguilar beats that out.
