Lauer is a Man of Power!  ?

[Eye Black]

Even Lauer’s nonchalant strut off the mound looks ace-like now. ?

True, but have the Pads really proven anything either?

Padres have at least been good so far this year & the various projections think they are more legit than the Phils, playoff odds…

SDP: 538 (80%) | FanGraphs (84.5%) | BPro (96.4%)

PHI: 538 (30%) | FanGraphs (32.5%) | BPro (54.1%)

Rowdy might be first player to get to .300 this year

 

(urias doesn’t count…….yet)

I think the Brewers scored more runs in that first inning than they did the entire divisional series last year.

Tellez has now driven in 6 of the 8 runs the Brewers have scored in their last 4 plus games against the Braves. 

[HarryDoyle]

Strider certainly made them look pretty foolish.

Yep, I'd imagine he gets another inning after that.

[treego14]

Strider will get shelled by the top of our order if he dares to set foot on the mound again

[Brewcrew82]

Braves really love having massive outfields. They went from Turner Field to this one...

[HarryDoyle]

That'll make the highlight reel.

I hate seeing those liners off the pitchers’ feet. 
 

First Woodruff last week and now this one. 

[timpep]

First game listening in radio this year. Really makes me miss the days of Ueker and Powell. Man, what a combo those guys were.

[timpep]

So I thought rosters after May 1 could only have 13 pitchers, but looking at the mlb GameDay it appears both teams have 14. What gives?

MLB made a last minute change to allow a maximum of 14 pitchers on the 26-man roster … I believe through May

They changed it to the end of the month. 

[HarryDoyle]

I hope that's the last we see of Strider this weekend.

[Brewcrew82]

That guy has some serious talent. 

[jason21nl]

That ball was absolutely crushed

[sveumrules]

Looks like Tyler Thornburg is on the Braves, maybe we’ll see him at some point today or later this weekend.

Manny is on the DL currently, though I believe he is eligible for reinstatement. Was batting 143/235/143 in 17 PAs before hitting the shelf.

[Eye Black]

What in the world was Cain doing on that throw??

[Brewcrew82]

What in the world Cain

[HarryDoyle]

What just happened? That was a massive brainfart by Cain.

[jason21nl]

What an awful play

[adambr2]

What in God's name was Cain doing?

[82brewcrew82]

What the hell was that?
