[UMFan83]

so Rondon is dead again?

 

I guess its possible. But my guess is Joe was trying to save everyone for Coors Field next.

 

Yep, especially with another spot start game on Saturday with Montgomery/Cahill.

[BigSlick]

Acquire additional runs

[BigSlick]

i'm furious about every single warning track fly balls

[UMFan83]

Please do not hit into a double play here scissors so Bryant gets another AB

[KrisBryantisaBeast]

Dang Fowler just missed it.

[UMFan83]

What kind of Willson Contreras wannabe is that out there for the Brewers?

[BigSlick]

Gimme a 3 run donger

[UMFan83]

If he goes yard here he will be one base short of his awesome game in Cincy

[NotSoSober]

That was way too close

[BigSlick]

i'll take it

 

eternal humiliation to the brewers

[KrisBryantisaBeast]

MVP MVP MVP

[BigSlick]

someone replace that "100 years Morty" rant from Rick and Morty but make it about Kris Bryant

 

Thank you

[squally1313]

Bryant could have donged there, but he preferred to add a run to what was a 6-8 ballgame. Priorities.

[CubInOK]

I like that KB is still hitting, but I need more dongs

How's this going for you?

[UMFan83]

For someone who has this ridiculous 101-105 MPH heater, Chapman seems to get into a lot of ABs where it takes him forever to put the guy away with a lot of foul offs. Not necessarily complaining, its just something that has surprised me. Edited August 18, 2016 by UMFan83

Byproduct of having such predictable pitch selection?

[UMFan83]

This is a matchup you dream about during those cold winter nights. Nieuwenheis vs. Chapman, tying run on deck. Which unstoppable force bends?

it shouldn't

 

that's kind of the point. guys just do what they can to make contact and pray it drops in safe. these guys can make contact with 105, it's just tough to get good swings

I was thinking that, could be it. Either way, for the most part they are still always late on it, its not like they are putting them in play or even necessarily timing him better.

Wow, we allowed 6 runs? Chalk this one down as a L at heart.

[The_Achiever]

Win

[UMFan83]

Just finished a stretch where we had 24 home games and 8 road games (5 of them being in Milwaukee or the Cell). Went 24-8. That's what I call taking advantage of the schedule. Now we finish the season with 25 of our last 38 on the road.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

ugly as horsefeathers, but a win is a win

[squally1313]

Best record in the league by 6 games.

 

In terms of pythag expected record vs actual record, unluckiest team in the league.

 

Incredible.
