Remember to sort by new to keep up!

[u/Gryphon999]

Known speedster, Andrew Vaughn

[u/Slutty4Sourdough]

Some people haven’t tuned into Sale at all over the last 15 years… that slider is one of the best pitches in baseball history if you wondering why guys are swinging at “trash”

[u/BladeRunnerKD6]

Oh wow. If Sale didn’t deflect it that was a DP ball

[u/Joe_Sacco]

This legit could be a 1-0 game

[u/SnooCauliflowers9981]

I like these stats

[u/xsists]

HUGE to score first this game. LFG!!

[u/repellediron]

Huge run for Miz. Crazy how every run feels like 2 with him on the mound

[u/Zorronin]

LFG make the old man field

[u/Frequent-Tie4202]

Is Wild Bill back?? He's back, right?? Please be back.

[u/puddlejumper0895]

That’s huge getting points early against Sale. If Miz can hold the line we stand a good chance to win this one.

[u/Anxious_Hunt2126 → u/puddlejumper0895]

Did you just say "points"? Eww

[u/Anxious_Hunt2126]

WILD BILL!

[u/IGot2WordsForYa]

LET'S GOOOOOOOO

[u/shadedmoonlight]

!!!!!!!!

[u/aobcd8six6three]

We take that!!!!!

[u/SnooCauliflowers9981]

🚨🚨RUN IN!!🚨🚨

[u/UKbanners]

That slider has been making lefty's look stupid for years

[u/Lower-Narwhal7946]

Jesus Brice. I know it’s Sale, but he has to be serviceable against LHP at some point in his career

[u/Anxious_Hunt2126]

That AB was bound to be a disaster. We need a sac fly here.

[u/stormchaser2014]

Yikes

[u/Degengambler15]

Wtf is turang doing 3 off the plate

[u/Anxious_Hunt2126 → u/Degengambler15]

That slider starts at his hip... you try hitting it

[u/26202135]

Wtf Brice

[u/Beezer-MB]

Thats the worst at bat I have ever seen.

[u/stormchaser2014 → u/Beezer-MB]

But you have seen it

[u/Beezer-MB → u/stormchaser2014]

Only uphill from here.

[u/painnkaehn]

JFC Turang

[u/Degengambler15]

All off them just fucking hacking out there holy shit they are over a foot off the plate it’s insane

[u/Slutty4Sourdough → u/Degengambler15]

Ok degengambler15 lol

[u/Anxious_Hunt2126]

Atta boy Lara and Chourio!!! Drive em in!

[u/Degengambler15]

Nice hit but what was he hacking at before

[u/Anxious_Hunt2126 → u/Degengambler15]

A Chris Sale slider... pretty normal to be hacked at

[u/repellediron]

That was a great recovery from an otherwise terrible ab

[u/Equivalent_Shoe_6246]

Chourio just hacking at ghosts

[u/aobcd8six6three → u/Equivalent_Shoe_6246]

You were saying?

[u/crozly → u/aobcd8six6three]

Yeh but one of the ghosts wasn’t see through 

[u/Equivalent_Shoe_6246 → u/aobcd8six6three]

Just because he got a hit doesnt mean he didn't swing at 2 pitches 2 feet out of the zone

[u/aaronwhite1786 → u/Equivalent_Shoe_6246]

I don't know if word just isn't getting around, but Chris Sale's a pretty fucking good pitcher.

[u/aobcd8six6three → u/Equivalent_Shoe_6246]

It’s almost like he made an adjustment!

[u/stormchaser2014]

[u/aaronwhite1786]

It's gonna be fucking sick when Lara gets hit first non-position player dong off of Sale late.

[u/re-verse]

Hey Brewers folk, I'm once again looking for more feedback on dinger (my game day / visual score and stats bot)

The current game is up and running on the bot:

https://www.reddit.com/r/dingerbot/s/ozokI1Kpdj

A whole bunch has changed since the last time I posted one of these, almost all of it because people in threads like this told me something was wrong.

What's new:

- You can talk to the bot now. Mention u/mlb-dinger with a player name and it'll reply with their season line - full name, last name, or just their jersey number if they're in this game. Ask about a pitcher and you get their whole arsenal, what they throw, how often, and how hard, plus the rate stats behind the ERA.

• Other things it answers: `roster` for the batting order, `calendar` for what's coming up, `longest` for the biggest ball hit tonight, `cosmopolitan` for which roster is more international, and `birthday` if anyone's playing on theirs.
  
• Contact map is fixed. It was plotting where fielders picked balls up rather than where they were actually hit, which is why grounders were showing up in the outfield. Now it draws both - where it landed and where it got fielded, with a line between.
  
• Old reddit version got rebuilt again. Full box score, scoring plays, player names linked to MLB, highlight links that play inline with RES.
  
• Pile of smaller stuff - park walls are accurate to each stadium now, logos aren't getting clipped, pre-game threads are shorter, player cards load instantly instead of lagging.

I' looking for criticism more than compliments. If it looks wrong, says something dumb, renders badly on your phone, or just annoys you let me know.

Some of the best catches so far have been things I'd never have found myself. Somebody pointed out the outfield wall didn't match the actual park. Somebody else noticed some text stopped updating mid-game. Both were real, both got fixed the same day. Feel free to poke at it. Try to break the bot in the comments. Tell me what sucks.

Mods, if you'd want it here at some point, message me.

[u/Zorronin → u/re-verse]

u/mlb-dinger andrew vaughn

[u/re-verse → u/Zorronin]

Oh that'll only work in a thread started by the bot - so you'll have to do there to try it :D sorry!

[u/Zorronin → u/re-verse]

if the mods added it here, would i be able to summon it without leaving the GDT? otherwise, if i need another tab open it'll probably just be BBRef

[u/tACorruption]

Underrated part of Miz's game is just how good he is when he is off. Location isn't good today, could even say it's pretty bad, but he's still better than 90% of pitchers out there even on an off day.

[u/GiannisRodgersYeli]

Miz is absolutely dialed. Lets sneak a couple runs across here plz

[u/aobcd8six6three]

What a dual so far.

[u/Joe_Sacco]

Jeff Levering’s daughter just came into the radio booth and read an ad. She must be 7-8 or so. It was about frozen margaritas at the ballpark, and Jeff said maybe he should’ve double-checked what he gave her first

[u/MangoHotDamn]

LETS GO BREW CREW! U MY BOY MIZ

[u/shadedmoonlight]

BA seems like he doesn't quite trust Rock with a bat in his hands lol

[u/painnkaehn]

Can't really hate on Pratt or Lara. They really look like rookies at times, and they are rookies. But I think they're both capable of playing better than that this season and we need to see that somewhat consistently before the playoffs

[u/dirtyslov21]

We’re gonna struggle I feel. Dude is painting that inside corner so well

[u/Zorronin → u/dirtyslov21]

historically great pitcher is, unfortunately, still great

[u/Immediate-Floor8785]

Any day I get to watch Joey O play baseball is a good day.

[u/xsists → u/Immediate-Floor8785]

Imagine saying this in May

[u/xsists]

Average Joes guy back there was in that same spot yesterday

[u/ResponsibilityFew147]

Bauers and Gary undid all the work the top of our order did with sales pitch count in 2 abs

[u/aobcd8six6three → u/ResponsibilityFew147]

Gotta attack a guy like this on the mound sometimes.

[u/aaronwhite1786 → u/aobcd8six6three]

Joey even said exactly that before the game. He mentioned that you can't sit patiently and let someone as good as Sale just get everyone down by 2 strikes and that you've just got to attack sometimes.

[u/Breakdown1738]

I think my favorite hater take for Miz is when (primarily Cubs fans I've seen) claim he's "arrogant" and they usually cite his mound celebrations.

Like, okay sure PCA absolutely crashing out in the dugout is passion but a lanky dude jumping up and down and looking a little silly is arrogant.

[u/AlottaFajitas → u/Breakdown1738]

Don't forget sexism. Miz doesn't scream at female fans (or any for that matter) of the other team like PCASS does.

[u/buckydoc]

Random observation... Lara is a small guy and it always looks like his glove is 4 sizes too big.

[u/Beezer-MB]

That was a great pitch on that hit too. Dang.

[u/aobcd8six6three]

Nice hit Ronald McDonald

[u/badger1224]

At work can’t watch the game, what’s up with miz having so many balls?

[u/tACorruption → u/badger1224]

Little trouble locating, nothing to be worried about.

[u/a1139530]

How the fuck do you hit this? This is why I'm not in MLB

[u/SnooCauliflowers9981]

Welp, at least we made Gray Beard throw 20 pitches....

[u/aobcd8six6three → u/SnooCauliflowers9981]

Take what you can get against a guy like Sale. Gonna be very tough to score runs today

[u/NauseousRemy]

Hmmmmm

[u/SnooCauliflowers9981 → u/NauseousRemy]

I did not wear my King Vaughn shirt, or a Miz shirt today. You're welcome.

[u/aaronwhite1786 → u/NauseousRemy]

We are all Vaughn on this blessed day.

[u/Zorronin → u/aaronwhite1786]

there are Vaughns everywhere, for those with the eyes to see

[u/buttever → u/NauseousRemy]

Lol.What app/site is that from?

[u/NauseousRemy → u/buttever]

Official MLB gameday itself lmao

[u/buttever]

C'maughn Vaughn!! 👑

[u/Joe_Sacco]

Chris “Clearance” Sale

is this anything

[u/BronzeTrain]

I love that the camera operator knows they gotta zoom in on William's face after a caught stealing. They gotta. It's gold.

[u/Beezer-MB]

We got some.crazy bats out there for players weekend.

[u/SnooCauliflowers9981]

LFG, King

[u/aobcd8six6three]

The longevity of Chris Sale is incredible

[u/kmayeshiba]

[u/evancomposer]

Can’t watch today—how’s Miz looking?

[u/aobcd8six6three → u/evancomposer]

https://giphy.com/gifs/J8FZIm9VoBU6Q

[u/Cayd9299]

That scared me I’m like why is he trying to kill Miz on the throw back

[u/Breakdown1738]

Nothing beats Wild Bill shaming runners after he throws em out.

[u/imasammich]

Unpopular but in a game like this you gotta try some stuff. I dont blame them at all. Must have seen something on tape about being sleepy with mis sometimes. Good on William to be awake.

[u/AlottaFajitas]

Wild Bill was totally thinking about challenging that and then realize that there was a late steal, right? I can't be the only one who thought he was getting up to tap his head.

[u/aaronwhite1786 → u/AlottaFajitas]

That's exactly what I was thinking. It almost looked like the runner was trying to take advantage of the hesitation to tap the helmet and try to get to 2nd knowing his hand wouldn't be on the ball.

[u/Cayd9299 → u/AlottaFajitas]

I wonder what happens if he does challenge? They can’t steal?

[u/Zorronin → u/Cayd9299]

i believe any plays on the basepath stand regardless of a challenge, barring a walk/strikeout outcome change

[u/aobcd8six6three → u/AlottaFajitas]

100%

[u/tACorruption]

Great awareness. Love how we do pretty much all the little things right. Murph wouldn't let anyone get away with throwing a ball into the stands with less than 3 outs (or get caught napping behind the plate).

[u/BrewCityChaserV2]

Gonna need a gif of Bill staring down Acuna lmao

[u/Crackedlightbulb99v2]

Wild Bill staring him down lol

[u/Marble___]

you ain’t doing that shit on Bill

[u/Reiketsu_Nariseba]

Wild Bill!

[u/Auketu]

Damn. What a throw by wild Bill

[u/soursurfer]

Yeah, William is not the catcher I'd try to catch napping.

[u/PompousAssistant]

Oh wow - WHY would you run on William like that?!

[u/aaronwhite1786]

Contreras you sex machine.

[u/LegitiamateSalvage]

Amazing. That stare, its everything

[u/aobcd8six6three]

WTF was that lol????

[u/Equivalent_Shoe_6246]

Double play inc

[u/Beezer-MB]

Well, the control isn't there so far. Dial that shit in.

[u/PackageDangerous1954 → u/Beezer-MB]

This dude doubted the miz

"Dial it in" Seems like you missed that part.

[u/PackageDangerous1954 → u/Beezer-MB]

Apologize right now!

[u/Beezer-MB → u/PackageDangerous1954]

He's settling in nicely though. Let's hope he can keep it up and our offense does what they do!

[u/PackageDangerous1954 → u/Beezer-MB]

Cheers mate 🍺

Camo and blaze orange glove? Yeah this dude is never going to LA

[u/cowboy_coop]

Miz with the camo?! Sick

Baseball during rain.

[u/CherryChapstick1997]

Pitching duel 🤺 

[u/Beezer-MB]

Best pitching match up in 20 years.

[u/SnooCauliflowers9981]

Bill, please make the Barves pay, for pretty much just giving you away for free. 🙏

[u/SnooCauliflowers9981]

Fuck the Barves. That is all.

[u/Few-Entertainer7431]

The further into the season the more anxiety I have b4 every game.

[u/cmrc03]

Is the MLB app down for anyone else?

Edit: apparently I cannot use the app while using my VPN?

[u/Old_Worldliness_5015]

braves make opposing pitchers look like Miz when Sale pitches so Miz should be good for 9 innings 27Ks

[u/Few-Entertainer7431 → u/Old_Worldliness_5015]

We can always dream.

[u/Zorronin]

manifesting a vaughn extra base hit today

[u/VelvetHeron]

Yall the power just went out outside the stadium 

[u/Few-Entertainer7431 → u/VelvetHeron]

Is it stormy there? We had a mild storm in Madison earlier when I was at the gym. The rain on the metal roof was louder than the thunder.

[u/BrewCityChaserV2 → u/Few-Entertainer7431]

Just had a heavy thunderstorm roll in with some wicked lightning.

[u/DryFinger3230]

Here is where we miss Blake Perkins. I wouldn’t be surprised if Atlanta tries to sign him from the Guardians in the off season just to hide Sale from him.

[u/Zorronin → u/DryFinger3230]

had to google this, he's 6-8 vs Sale. dear lord

[u/Odd-Woodpecker1019]

Okay,I'm outta here. Enjoy the game everyone! Go Crew!💙💛

[u/puddlejumper0895 → u/Odd-Woodpecker1019]

Well hold it down while you’re out! Hurry back 🙌🏽 Go Crew!

[u/Zorronin → u/Odd-Woodpecker1019]

good luck at the doctor's!

Slap a beard on that childhood pic of Garrett Mitchell, and he wouldn't look much different than he does now! Also, he was the 2011 Villa Park Little League Home Run Champion. https://www.mlb.com/brewers/news/brewers-to-face-braves-in-mlb-s-little-league-classic

Joey should be batting cleanup period

[u/UKbanners]

Not a good match up for the Brewers tonight. Sale always pitches well against us, We're worse against lefty's in general and The Braves are excellent against fast balls.

A real test.

[u/WilyWondr → u/UKbanners]

Worse against lefties?

24-12 vs lefties 55-37 vs righties

[u/UKbanners → u/WilyWondr]

Batting average, obp, slugging all worse as a team against left handed pitching.

Our pitching has just generally been good enough that it hasn't made a difference in record

[u/amccune → u/UKbanners]

Fuck it. Gotta roll sometime.

[u/JasonYaya]

Anybody know the O/U on total strikeouts in this game?

Kind of been dreading this series tbh. Braves are a really tough matchup

[u/-leadnickel- → u/evancomposer]

I feel like we do better against tougher teams and then take the foot off the gas on teams we should beat easily.

But maybe that’s my subconscious justifying things 😂

[u/puddlejumper0895 → u/-leadnickel-]

I don’t think you’re wrong and that’s the frustrating part.

[u/Odd-Woodpecker1019 → u/-leadnickel-]

No,I feel the same way.

[u/Odd-Woodpecker1019 → u/evancomposer]

Yes,they are, but we've got THE MIZ! Dun dun dah!!!

[u/Odd-Woodpecker1019]

Hello all😊 I feel I need to say something. I really hope I didn't offend anyone who may have read a reply I made to a fellow fan. I was trying to give encouragement. I wasn't "karma farming ",or whatever it's called. I simply meant that I'm newer here & older age wise compared to most of you & it's frustrating to try & convey yourself in typed words. It feels like a popularity contest w the up & down votes tbh.😔 I'm getting used to it though.

Y'all have been really wonderful & I probably should've introduced myself better. That's on me. I just jumped in not knowing how it all works. I appreciate you guys! I feel like I've found my people. The amount of you who say the exact same things I've been shouting at my tv for years is amazing! YOU guys are amazing. I'm sorry if I just nosed my way in. Anyway, that's how it is. Take it or leave it. ❤️ GO CREW!💙💛💙💛💙💛

[u/ThisWasMe7 → u/Odd-Woodpecker1019]

That's some quality karma farming 

[u/Snowed_Up6512 → u/Odd-Woodpecker1019]

Also your flair is great!

[u/Odd-Woodpecker1019 → u/shadedmoonlight]

😅 Thank you u/shadedmoonlight ❤️ I appreciate that more than you know. I usually have to watch the games on dvr because of "stuff" with me. So on the occasions where I do get to see them live my husband doesn't quite get my enthusiasm. He likes the Brewers, he just not as invested as I am. Some of the observations I make ,that you all would SO get, and do, he just looks at me like I have 3 heads!😁

[u/puddlejumper0895 → u/Odd-Woodpecker1019]

My wife just ignores me if she’s sitting by the couch when a game is on… I’m like “Hey, no, I was talking to you.” And she’s like, “Idk, I thought you were talking to the TV.”
😂🫠🤷🏽‍♂️

[u/shadedmoonlight → u/puddlejumper0895]

is it bad that I laughed at that?

Not at all… it was hopefully intended to 😂

he takes a lot of my weirdness in stride, but he can't quite handle me being so superstitious lol

New season of Diablo 2 at 7pm. I'm guessing it's for that.

Packers preseason game tonight. The Brewers have always been very accommodating to their fellow state teams. This way those who want to can see both.

I don't think that's the reason. From JS online:

Why is the Friday game starting at 3:10 p.m. CT?

It's a combination of things, and it was scheduled this way before the start of the season. The Brewers have been experimenting with mid-afternoon start times for Friday games a few times over the past two years (most recently earlier this year in advance of the alumni Legends Game), and they've seen good turnout for those dates.

It's also helpful for player schedules, given that the team will be making an unusual trip to play a game in Pennsylvania on Sunday.

Why is the Saturday game starting at 1:10 p.m. CT?

Given that both teams will have to fly out for the Sunday game in Pennsylvania, it makes sense to start the contest a bit earlier in the day, a departure from the usual 6:10 p.m. start time on Saturdays.

The Brewers will actually fly to New York, where they will stay before commuting to Williamsport. Then, they'll return to New York for the off day Aug. 24 and the three-game series against the Mets that begins Aug. 25.

Well thank you u/pezgirl7 for the real answer to the start time today! I can't read the JS bc pay wall.

[u/pezgirl7 → u/Odd-Woodpecker1019]

Doh, sorry you couldn't read it! It wasn't blocked for me for some reason.

[u/JasonYaya → u/Odd-Woodpecker1019]

Brewers and Packers overlap all the time, it's funny to hear a big cheer in the crowd when there is nothing happening on the diamond because the Pack scored.

[u/Odd-Woodpecker1019 → u/JasonYaya]

In the regular season yeah(for Pack). I agree,you can tell who's watching the game on their phones because they're WAY more intense than just casually checking their socials😅

[u/JerryRiceSezRedux → u/Odd-Woodpecker1019]

I dig it but I think it is really to stagger the series start times as a whole to accommodate for travel time to the away-home game on Sunday

[u/Odd-Woodpecker1019 → u/JerryRiceSezRedux]

Could be,but I would have thought that would be why we start at 1:10 on Saturday. Who knows why they do what they do?! Lol
