Expecting a YUGE day from the Brewers pitching staff

Lol

[mfree80]

Demeritte back in there huh?

[msstate7]

Demeritte back in there huh?

Hopefully he's got a nap, and he feels rested

[mfree80]

Hopefully he's got a nap, and he feels rested

If he has a big game all will be forgiven... Otherwise?????

[jsebe10]

Riley has got to break out of that funk of trying to pull everything.

[The Chosen One]

Ozuna’s decline from the first week has been really bad.

[WaitingFor2017]

I swear that we see Craig Counsell walk out of that dugout at least once almost every game (in a non-pitching change). It's like Don Mattingly.

[UNCBlue012]

d’Arnaud is over here becoming a beast now I see

[TURBO]

Think TDA and Ozuna need to be swapped

[UNCBlue012]

This is unbelievable. That’s a home run every other year

[CyYoung31]

If Ozuna is going to be trash, we’re in trouble.

Ugly MFer ain’t he?

[CyYoung31]

Ugly MFer ain’t he?

Fairly average.

[TURBO]

love 109ev outs

[UNCBlue012]

And more bad luck. 109-MPH out.

[UNCBlue012]

Max Fried is phenomenal. Legitimate ace-status.

[The Chosen One]

Duvall diabetes acting crazy again.

[UNCBlue012]

I know this is a bit absurd, but it think our hitters should actually attempt to hit the ball. They’re paid a lot to exploit other pitching and aren’t doing that

[thewupk]

I see Demeritte is back in the lineup. If he was tired then all he needed was a red bull

[thewupk]

Burnes getting a full ball length off the plate isn't fair

[TURBO]

I love Ronnie

[UNCBlue012]

Ronnie!

[The Chosen One]

He good

[thewupk]

Acuna is built different

[Enscheff]

107.2

Little baby tap for Acuna.

[Hudson2]

Acunas got his timing down now that’s scary for opposing teams

[Enscheff]

107

106

109

Exit velocities of the Braves last 3 swings.

[thewupk]

107

106

109

Exit velocities of the Braves last 3 swings.

And one should have been an out while the other was. so lame. lol

[thewupk]

Riley's last 2 ABs had EV's of 109 and both were outs

[Enscheff]

I don’t feel too bad for Caratini.

Riley’s last 2 PAs have ended on balls in play at 109+ resulting in outs.

[UNCBlue012]

And more luck for the opposing team lol

[Enscheff]

One of the Braves hits was hit so hard it turned into a single.

[UNCBlue012]

ace

[TURBO]

Glad TD was well rested

[Enscheff]

I’m predicting that play turns the Braves luck and season around.

[USMA76]

Gee, does anyone think that Ozuna makes that play that saves two runs?

[Garmel]

And more luck for the opposing team lol

And we almost gave up 2 runs on another fluke. TD saved us.

[thewupk]

just take the walk...

[TURBO]

The luck is shifting boys

[thewupk]

I’m predicting that play turns the Braves luck and season around.

well there is some luck

[thewupk]

110 EV from Ozuna there....Braves are making great contact right now

[The Chosen One]

I’m predicting that play turns the Braves luck and season around.

You might be on to something.

[USMA76]

Brewers not impressing anyone with their defense tonight.

[Enscheff]

110.7 from Ozuna.

Braves are certainly earning their hits.

[USMA76]

110 EV from Ozuna there....Braves are making great contact right now

You knew it was smoked when he hit it through the shift.

[The Chosen One]

This is why you don’t want a tired pitcher to go through the order this many times.

[jsebe10]

God damn the Brewers keep bomb ass defensive catcher regularly.

[The Chosen One]

Sheesh Duvall

[UNCBlue012]

Renfroe is awful so we at least know that was luck

[Hudson2]

We may give Dansby a lot of crap but that dude can pick it at SS.

[USMA76]

Bae flashin' the leather tonight.

[UNCBlue012]

Dansby has become a truly elite defender

[TURBO]

We may give Dansby a lot of crap but that dude can pick it at SS.

Hes looked better at the plate too.

Is there anybody more annoying than Brian Jordan?

[thewupk]

We may give Dansby a lot of crap but that dude can pick it at SS.

Baseball Savant has him as the best defensive SS in baseball so far. And tonight is certainly going to keep him there.

[Hudson2]

Baseball Savant has him as the best defensive SS in baseball so far. And tonight is certainly going to keep him there.

Would you offer Dansby a contract and go big bat for LF or go for a big bat as SS in the offseason? I’m fine with Swanson as long as we get another big bat for the OF.

[UNCBlue012]

Ronnie is most definitely back

[Enscheff]

Stop stealing bases. Please.

[CJ9]

Olson is hitting the ball on the ground way too much this season.

[USMA76]

Stop stealing bases. Please.

Cringeworthy.

[TURBO]

Can Jensen get 4 outs?

edit: Minter took care of it

[UNCBlue012]

Minter has been so damn good this year

[thewupk]

Fried with a 2.68 ERA and 2.56 FIP on the year. Not too bad.

[thewupk]

TDA with the insurance run

[UNCBlue012]

What a damn start to the season for Travis

[UNCBlue012]

Should have been a strikeout but he instead gets the RBI-single. Freaking umps, again.

[thewupk]

Should have been a strikeout but he instead gets the RBI-single. Freaking umps, again.

no guarantee he takes pitch #3 for a strike if pitch #1 is called a strike. and it was borderline as is.

[USMA76]

Jansen stress testing the ol' pacemaker tonight.

[TURBO]

[UNCBlue012]

TRAVIS!!

[thewupk]

nice way to end the game!

[Hulavol]

Strike em out and throw em out !

[drewdat]

LOL, why would you call, just challenge it or the game is over

[Hudson2]

Hell of a catch and tag by Dansby!

[USMA76]

TDA showing defensive ability I didn't know he had.

[Runnin]

So effing OUT!

[thewupk]

Jansen with a 0.89 FIP on the year

[CrimsonCowboy]

[zbhargrove]

Jansen with a 0.89 FIP on the year

Is that good?

[thewupk]

Is that good?

It's decent

[MadduxFanII]

I want to take Max Fried's curveball behind the middle school and get it pregnant. (https://twitter.com/PitchingNinja/status/1523092663154753539)

[UNCBlue012]

Ozuna hasn’t been a non-factor in the four-hole, he’s been negative value for the last two or three weeks. He’s repeatedly killed Braves rallies. Move him down, Snit.

[UNCBlue012]

Man, Morton’s inability to finish guys off is killing us. He has always been good at getting the guy out 3-2, but now it’s almost always a free walk. I don’t get it.

Now he allows a single to a ****ty dude hitting .208. You’ve got to actually try a bit more.

[CyYoung31]

Cooked.

Again. Non-competitive 3-2 pitch. It’s totally in his head. That’s all that is.

[msstate7]

I hope the braves realize the SP they're facing has a bb9 over 6. Hope we intentionally try to work him
