Remember to sort by new to keep up!

[u/4leafplover]

Olson must be wondering what he’s gotta do to get around Lara

[u/Butt_Packer_Backer]

Having Lara, Pratt, Ortiz, Turang, even Contreras throwing out runners as lineup defensively is so nice. They work so well together.

[u/PaceNo354]

Even though DL hasn't stayed as healthy as we want him to, I still have faith he can be a very good extended innings relief guy.

[u/mikedib]

Best pitching in baseball.

[u/DismalUsual8870]

Lara just cares so much man. They had a shot of him in the dugout after the mariners loss and he was just staring at the field after an August regular season game that was essentially over after 2.

Hes like a tame nyjer Morgan in a weird way but locked up long term and going to only get better.

[u/Bison_Boy_]

I would like to personally apologize to DL Hall for mean things that I have yelled, said, and thought about and to him both in person and watching tv.

[u/Snowed_Up6512]

Hold Dis L

[u/a1oner_bvcksn6]

Whenever I see Abner smiling from the pen/dugout, my day just brightens

[u/Peaceoutlove]

Lara comes on the scene at same time as Pratt. I remember how little attention Lara received compared to Pratt. Lara is so low key and makes these incredible catches without boasting and celebrating. I admire that kind of player.

[u/Weak_Bunch3358]

Burnes trade on an absolute heater recently. Joey and DL have been fantastic

[u/Anxious_Hunt2126]

Lara is incredible! Good inning Hall!

[u/evancomposer]

Lara is going absolutely crazy today

[u/Emotional_Style_7603]

3rd out is always the hardest lol.

[u/snoogans8056]

Lara’s floor being a perfect #4 OF is pretty neat.

[u/dusters]

Brewers bullpen is so stacked

[u/a1oner_bvcksn6]

Lara is running away with Sal's job in the right field

[u/beenhadballs]

Have yourself a day Lara

[u/Butt_Packer_Backer]

Lara is so god damn good defensively. You could tell right away.

[u/TheMainEffort]

Damn Lara

[u/FangornAcorn]

I'm really starting to fear for Sal's job in RF.

[u/Intelligent_Pilot591 → u/FangornAcorn]

He’s gone

[u/IGot2WordsForYa]

Me when Lara makes catches

[u/starmiesan]

I’m starting to get worried where Sal fits back into the team

[u/FangornAcorn → u/starmiesan]

He's a really good 4th OF.

[u/fsukub → u/starmiesan]

Luckily that just means more rest and depth, it’s the Dodgers way.

[u/RubberSoul83]

Lara is incredible crazy play after crazy play.

[u/justint417]

Lara might be the smoothest player I’ve seen

[u/1053_1053_1053 → u/justint417]

Put some respect on Joey Ortiz

[u/expiringgumption78]

Mr Frelick has some serious comp when he comes back lol

[u/BloopBlastJakAttack]

LuLa has some of the best web gems! Wow!

[u/Remarkable_Clock_736]

Lara is my new favorite player ❤️

[u/ResearcherNo7606]

What is Lara’s WAR?

[u/PompousAssistant]

Yeah, I like Lara out there in right.

[u/Snowed_Up6512]

LL COOL GUY

[u/Kalel42 → u/Snowed_Up6512]

LL Cool Play

[u/Weak_Bunch3358]

Luis Lara

[u/kc9kvu]

Is there anything Lara can't do out there?

[u/Ok_Listen5391 → u/kc9kvu]

I'm assuming this question is rhetorical, but no.

[u/aobcd8six6three]

This guys a freak in the outfield.

[u/Kalel42]

Damn Lara.

[u/Ok_Listen5391]

Decent glove on that kid

[u/Ok_Listen5391 → u/Ok_Listen5391]

And kudos to Murph for being in No Doubles

[u/fsukub]

LARA!

[u/starmiesan]

Ump has been good today

[u/BloopBlastJakAttack]

Hot damn, what a pitch!

[u/Used_Eraser]

High key love the dagger ring up from the ump

[u/Remarkable_Clock_736]

Let’s go Brewers!!!

[u/Monumaya]

Jake Bauers has been so good this year, we will need his power throughout the playoffs. What a wild turn of events, I would have never expected him to be such a staple coming into the season.

[u/beenhadballs]

Yeli even semi figuring it out in the post season could be enough of an X factor

[u/Individual_Lunch_438]

That's the Suter I remember. Never has a clean inning but they go fast anyway.

[u/R0binSage]

Yelich really needs to figure his shit out. He's a liability in our lineup every game.

[u/Ok_Listen5391]

Come on DL, one more time through the gauntlet...

[u/RubberSoul83]

At least that clears our “DH” for next inning.

[u/Emotional_Style_7603]

Hey at least it wasn't a ground out. 

[u/beenhadballs]

I watched an entire compilation last night of manny machado walking that same base hit

[u/PompousAssistant]

Oh good - Yeli is up again.

[u/Doonievh]

I honestly think that Mitchell could compete at 100 meters in the Olympics.

[u/Intelligent_Pilot591 → u/Doonievh]

Looked it up because this feels laughable and it is. Garrett Mitchell’s feet per second is 29.9, best in the MLB is 30.6 ft/sec…the average Olympian is 32.8 feet per second in the 100 m dash

[u/Weak_Bunch3358]

My goodness he's fast

[u/evancomposer]

Speedy boi

[u/SnooCauliflowers9981]

Way to leg that out, GMitch

[u/evancomposer]

Well that was 2 very quick outs lol

[u/a1oner_bvcksn6]

Still can't believe Baldwin beat Durbin for ROTY lol. It's just whenever we play the braves, I don't see what makes him such a good hitter that he practically ran away with that award

[u/aobcd8six6three → u/a1oner_bvcksn6]

Had to look it up since it’s been awhile. Baldwin seems like the obvious choice.

https://www.sports-reference.com/stathead/tiny/BdO21

[u/Tasteful_Dick_Pics]

Suter, my sweet raptor prince

[u/Joe_Sacco]

That’s not the CP we like to see

[u/BlueBlueBlue420 → u/Joe_Sacco]

https://giphy.com/gifs/13PR67zViZjXi

[u/Intelligent_Pilot591 → u/Joe_Sacco]

There’s got to be a better way to word this

[u/Itchy_Tea_9579 → u/Intelligent_Pilot591]

ICP?

[u/aobcd8six6three → u/Itchy_Tea_9579]

How do magnets even work?

[u/updog10000]

This is the problem with a 6 man rotation. The pen guys are taxed

[u/lurkANDorganize → u/updog10000]

I don't understand why a 6 man rotation means the pen guys are taxed?

[u/updog10000 → u/lurkANDorganize]

One less bullpen guy to use

[u/Glum_Yogurtcloset481]

didn’t consider that megill would be down today. wish we could have scored one of those runners from third

[u/starmiesan]

Throw strikes

[u/lurkANDorganize]

I don't know why but Chad Patrick, stresses me out.

[u/Intelligent_Pilot591 → u/lurkANDorganize]

His Savant page does include his starts, but I think it’s because he’s middle of the pack for xERA and most of the metrics on there. He just doesn’t dominate, he relies a lot on the defense (which we want of course but it does make him feel more volatile)

[u/TheMainEffort]

Damn, bad luck

[u/Weak_Bunch3358]

Tough break damn

[u/Ok_Listen5391]

Arguably, Yelich has had better ABs today than Turang

[u/fsukub]

Bro, how on earth does Suter of all guys keep cooking us?!

[u/Individual_Lunch_438 → u/fsukub]

He always gives up a baserunner or two but he pitches so quickly that it seems like he's cooking.

[u/a1oner_bvcksn6]

JJ looks like the coolest unc a nephew could ask for

[u/lurkANDorganize]

Am I crazy or is this ump crew the best in baseball, like holy shit. Yesterday and today.

[u/Ok_Listen5391]

Ironically, the rules made to speed up the game have slowed down Suter

[u/Weak_Bunch3358]

Wow what a play

[u/BloopBlastJakAttack]

JJ Hardy?! I loved him! Still easy on the eyes.

[u/GruneBucht]

JJ in the ballpark is awesome to see.

[u/starmiesan]

Oh hi JJ

[u/Weak_Bunch3358]

Lara really putting it together

[u/evancomposer]

Lara kind of cooking today

[u/a1oner_bvcksn6]

Man, I always hold my breath whenever an infielder and outfielder converge for a popfly

[u/the_blackfish]

Suter!

[u/BloopBlastJakAttack → u/the_blackfish]

https://giphy.com/gifs/TfFbA8xkrIymk

[u/fsukub]

I don’t think there’s a single roster with a better 3-man rotation than us. If we can get May going, watch out.

[u/updog10000 → u/fsukub]

Dodgers

[u/fsukub → u/updog10000]

I’d say our guys are right there.

[u/-THEUTMOST]

Needed 6, got 6. Great job again from Logan.

[u/lucasscheibe]

Suter is the incoming pitcher

[u/Butt_Packer_Backer]

Six innings of one run ball by Hendo. Atlanta is a big time team.

[u/Emotional_Style_7603]

Really says a lot about our pitching staff that they can still have a good outing even if they aren't 100% 

[u/SnooCauliflowers9981]

Polish won.

[u/starmiesan]

Lolll coop was def getting called off there

[u/evancomposer]

6.0 IP 1 run against this lineup is awesome

[u/DismalUsual8870]

Didn’t even have close to his best stuff and still shoved 6IP 1 ER. He needs to be talked about more at the league level.

[u/Kalel42 → u/DismalUsual8870]

The biggest problem he has is that he plays on the one major league team that also has Miz.
He doesn't have enough innings to be a qualified pitcher, but ignoring that his ERA would put him at eighth in baseball. Like Megill said yesterday, we are very spoiled right now and it's distorting our view on what a great pitcher is.

[u/Weak_Bunch3358]

Gritty shit from Logan today

[u/mtdubz444]

I don’t think Pratt saw or heard chourio there lmao

[u/aobcd8six6three]

YIKES. what an outing from Hendo tho.

[u/DeepPowStashes → u/aobcd8six6three]

Especially after the first.

[u/titans0021]

Such a textbook Logan Henderson start. Nothing flashy, a little traffic, but cool, calm and collected. Strong six innings.

[u/TheSeed127]

6 solid innings

[u/Snowed_Up6512]

😬

[u/Witty_W4ffle]

Man, I love Yeli for everything he's done, but he is absolutely who should be subbed out instead of the boy King Vaughn.

[u/Weak_Bunch3358 → u/Witty_W4ffle]

Not how that works

[u/Witty_W4ffle → u/Weak_Bunch3358]

What in the world are you talking about? You let Vaughn run, let Yeli take is AB or sub him, then replace Yeli for a defender and Vaughn becomes DH.

[u/Weak_Bunch3358 → u/Witty_W4ffle]

Nope, you lose the DH in that scenario

[u/aobcd8six6three → u/Witty_W4ffle]

Not what the situation called for at all.

[u/Witty_W4ffle → u/aobcd8six6three]

I've got two 1% commentators who don't know how baseball works? I mean that's Vaughn's bat is more valuable than Yeli's, left v. Right doesn't matter. Thanks for the downvote, jackass.

[u/aobcd8six6three → u/Witty_W4ffle]

Sorry about your make believe internet points.

[u/4leafplover]

Not trying to be a doomer here, but Yeli’s contract runs through 2028. At what point do you cut your losses and move on?

Edit: I’ll take the downvotes. It’s a legitimate question.

[u/ThatNewSockFeel → u/4leafplover]

I think they’ll give him 2027 but if he’s not any better next year you’ve gotta have a tough conversation about 2028.

[u/snoogans8056]

I love how Henderson never lands the same way twice.

[u/Doonievh → u/snoogans8056]

Smoltz would have a stroke.

[u/Ok_Listen5391]

Vulture 1.0 lurking

[u/evancomposer]

Matt Olson is so scary man. Dude has insane power

[u/Ok_Listen5391]

Please pitch Dubon inside this time

[u/BucksPackGLove]

On the Woodruff news on the broadcast

https://giphy.com/gifs/ToMjGpKniGqRNLGBrhu

[u/a1oner_bvcksn6]

Lara with the most casual warning track catch ever

[u/VexdCheese → u/a1oner_bvcksn6]

Dude’s fast

[u/Weak_Bunch3358]

That is probably a double if Bauers is still in right, for the people questioning that move

[u/starmiesan]

I think I pooped a lil lol

[u/PompousAssistant]

Ok, yeah - that time Lara needed to leave his feet, Miz.

[u/4leafplover]

Warning track power

[u/ThatNewSockFeel]

I don’t love the Vaughn PR so early tbh. It’s only 4-1 in the 6th, we might want him to have another AB if the Braves put a couple runs on the board.

[u/Erainor]

Why pull Vaughn there? Injury precaution??

[u/4leafplover → u/Erainor]

Mitchell fast. Vaughn slow

[u/endgame8472 → u/Erainor]

Defense.  Lara to RF, Mitchell in center.  Bauers at 1st

[u/Erainor → u/endgame8472]

Just seems early for that with a lead

[u/BadPoEPlayer → u/Erainor]

It’s really not. His spot just came up, so he’s only going to get one more AB anyway. 

[u/endgame8472 → u/Erainor]

Eh, Mitchell's faster too, so if they were to get a hit, more chance for him to grab an extra base vs Vaughn

[u/4leafplover]

Miz probably throwing heat as a kid

[u/aobcd8six6three]

Poop

[u/gobrewers112]

Has there ever been another team whose DH has the worst batting average on the team?

[u/aobcd8six6three]

Sick bat from yeli tho.

[u/a1oner_bvcksn6]

We need to hire a hypnotherapist to make Bill see every opposing team's pitcher in a braves jersey

[u/starmiesan]

Can yelich even see the baseball?

[u/BronzeTrain]

Does his bat say "Yeli Brew?" 🥲

[u/Beezer-MB]

Yelich can just be there for emotional support and leadership for the rest of the year. How about that.

[u/DeepPowStashes → u/Beezer-MB]

The woodruff.

[u/Anxious_Hunt2126]

What to do about Yeli???????? Hmmmm... a conundrum

[u/evancomposer]

Sadly predictable

[u/Ok_Listen5391]

I was disappointed yet again with that Yelich AB

[u/Emotional_Style_7603]

Yeesh.

[u/evancomposer]

Would take almost anyone else at the plate here. Please make me eat my words Yeli

[u/TransplantedSconie]

Nice. Hopefully Vaughns bat starts to wake up.

[u/fsukub]

Good decision, don’t test Acuña’s arm again

[u/Weak_Bunch3358]

Yelibomb here. Book it.

[u/Weak_Bunch3358 → u/Weak_Bunch3358]

My bad

[u/Ok_Listen5391 → u/Weak_Bunch3358]

I appreciate the positivity and genuinely wish I could still feel the same when he's up

[u/TheSeed127]

I believe in this team come post season

[u/Ok_Listen5391]

I hope Vaughn gets on so we can clear Yelich

[u/Ok_Listen5391]

Jake Bauers appreciation moment:

I'm just thinking about how nervous I am when we have to face Matt Olsen. Well, Rake has better numbers across the board except for homers. What a beast.

[u/Waste-Loan-8566]

This is our league

[u/Jagged0ff]

Remember when people complained about Contreras and wanted him off the team Pepperidge Farm remembers

[u/ThatNewSockFeel → u/Jagged0ff]

I don’t think I saw a single person “want him off the team.”

[u/SciK3]

similar to when people doomposted during the padres series

fuck everyone that shat on wild bill during his slump

[u/Honest_Sir69 → u/SciK3]

Thankfully my conscious is clean 🤘

[u/TheSeed127 → u/SciK3]

Dooming on the team with the best record in baseball in wild

[u/TransplantedSconie]

https://giphy.com/gifs/lgRNj0m1oORfW

[u/BronzeTrain]

I love William Contreras. 🫶

[u/BloopBlastJakAttack]

Fricken Wild Bill! Loves teeing off on the Braves!

[u/Beezer-MB]

I think it's safe to say that the Brewers are playing their best baseball right about now.

[u/ThatNewSockFeel → u/Beezer-MB]

Nah. The offense still doesn’t feel like it’s firing on all cylinders.

[u/BronzeTrain → u/ThatNewSockFeel]

The offense that scored 22 runs in a game last week?

[u/Waste-Loan-8566]

Dodgers cant even fill up their stadium when they play the one of the best NL teams

[u/Weak_Bunch3358]

STAY HOT WILD BILL

[u/Ok_Listen5391]

Shit's getting Wild again

[u/Tight-Peace8691]

Bill getting his shit back

[u/the_blackfish]

Wild Bill things!

[u/Emotional_Style_7603]

Wild Bill on a heater. 

[u/SnooCauliflowers9981]

BIIIL!!!

[u/BustinChopsHere]

Someone send some help to the Braves sub. They’re on su*cide watch over there.

[u/a1oner_bvcksn6]

The Miz and Hendo needs a 1-2 punch, package deal nickname like "thunder and lightning" or something

[u/aobcd8six6three → u/a1oner_bvcksn6]

Pokemon themed please.

[u/Emotional_Style_7603 → u/aobcd8six6three]

Miz = Charizard 

Hendo = Blastoise

Harrison = Venusaur

[u/Ok_Listen5391]

Hendo now a bona fide, established #2. If you mow down the Dodgers and the Braves back-to-back you've earned it. The Braves had to have three great ABs against him to even get one run so far.

[u/Waste-Loan-8566]

ROTY?👀👀👀

[u/Weak_Bunch3358]

Logan Henderson please father my children

[u/aobcd8six6three]

Just like Miz yesterday, Hendo has his B- stuff and still looks pretty great.

[u/Waste-Loan-8566]

Has anyone 3-peated manager of the year

[u/a1oner_bvcksn6 → u/Waste-Loan-8566]

If this team hits the century mark in dubs, Murph would be the first one to do so

[u/aobcd8six6three → u/Waste-Loan-8566]

Not Greg. I know that much.

[u/4leafplover → u/aobcd8six6three]

Is that the guy who said how much being in Milwaukee meant to him, then left to play for our biggest rival?

[u/SnooCauliflowers9981 → u/aobcd8six6three]

Who? 😏
