Willie Adames

Impressive big infield snag

Five-Four in the eighth 

[CheezWizHed]

BB lucky to get out of that inning.  Three balls tattoed and two direct to Adames.

Feeling Renfro's first HR.

I always thought it was more the extra millions of dollars that nixed it.  Architects are smart...I'm sure they could've made it work on the existing footprint... the roof is still on top right? ?

Rainouts aren't so bad.  I just hate "cold" baseball in April and October.  Pitchers can't grip the ball, players with "hoodies", hitters don't hit as well... just a bad look for a summer sport, especially in the playoffs.  The BB seasons seem to get longer and later, too. 

I agree the baseball season is too long, which is why I believe it should be reduced back to 154 games, returning Opening Day to where it used to sit around April 15th. As I’m sure you’re well aware, October generally isn’t nearly as bad as early April in the upper Midwest.

True, but seems like the Brewers have tended to get cold playoff games lately (which is good because that means they are playing in Oct and playing late in Oct).  But certainly Oct is normally better than April...but April is normally a bit nicer than it is now too.

Omar bloops one in

Unsuspended catcher hits

Omar stands on first

[stoutdude04]

Please stop walking guys. K. Thanks.

[titletownking]

Williams imploding and Hook waits until he loads the bases. Will be lucky to get out of the inning not down. 

[yourout]

walk #5 for the evening.

[mtrebs]

I hope Hader has been warming up. Williams didn’t look good to any of the batters yet.

[Eye Black]

Well whatever they did this year to get the pitchers dialed in and ready for the season they should probably scrap going forward. Now 28 walks issued on the season. 

[adambr2]

If the pitching staff continues to walk this many batters this team is not going to be very good. 

[ecjimg]

This inning makes me want to punch a wall. But I won’t because I could break my hand 

[Eye Black]

Mateo nearly impossible to double off due to his speed, hopefully they are playing for the out at home. 

Edit: Or just strike him out.

[Eye Black]

The Orioles not scoring there is certainly something. Nice to see Devin turn it around after a shaky start to the inning. #HookMagic

[DuWayne Steurer]

that was exciting

[Ulice Payne]

Williams looked rusty

Lucky to get out of that

Still strikes out the side

 

[folly412]

An interesting way to strike out the side. ?

[yourout]

Houdini's got nothing on DW.

[adambr2]

What a job Devin!

[HarryDoyle]

I knew Williams could do it.

[timpep]

Lol. Nice work Devin. I previously typed up some crap about how you suck but then I got caught up in watching you strike out the side and forgot to hit submit.

[ReverendBrewmeister]

When his pitches are on, Williams is nearly untouchable. Just took a little bit of time to find the release points. But no runs conceded. 

[mtrebs]

What a great job by Williams to get out of that jam!
