Did he get yelled at for swinging at three bad pitches last AB or something, that was brutal.

[abuck1220]

so now we're getting mad at hill for not being able to hit?

[C.C.]

lol at Rich bailing on that 1st curve

 

Why even swing the bat? Just take pitches and hopefully you get a walk.

I was hoping he would biggio into a slow curve.

Right. The pitcher walked two in the inning, and Hill doesn't have much of a chance of getting a hit anyway.

[Lockes Eye Scar]

these game thread reactions are priceless

he could have tried.

 

Because pitchers are used to going up there and swinging at big looping curveballs that curve away from him.

[Schwarber Fan]

Anyone still need summaries? I won't continue if not

[Brian]

Brewers go down 1-2-3.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

[TruffleShuffle]

here's a summary -- our offense isn't good

[gflore34]

Well, at least the Theriot leads off next inning, and after a base hit, we'll get to see/hear Cedeno GIDP.
