Series Thread (Games 132-134): Aug 30 - Sep 1 vs. Braves

Mon Aug 30 7p: Urias vs. Smyly
Tue Aug 31 7p: Buehler vs. Morton
Wed Sep 1 7p: Scherzer vs. Fried

Talk about missed opportunities. We lose two of three to the worst road team in the league, forgoing an opportunity to make up ground on the Giants. And now we face the Braves (who beat the Giants two of three this weekend, as playoff-hungry teams tend to do). We sit 2.5 games back (still), with the Braves and Giants all week. This rock just went from a pushover to a Sisyphean task.

BTW don't look up "guy squished by rock" as the results aren't comforting.

Giants play today (Thursday) while we are idle. Giants up 1-0 in the first.

Steve Sax said...

1-1 tie, bottom 5

Steve Sax said...

1-1 through five full.

Brewers' pitcher made a sliding play to get the final out at first. Slo-mo replays looked like he tweaked his ankle, but I have the sound off so I can't be sure.

Game is on YouTube free

Steve Sax said...

Replay review overturns call on the field, a two-out stolen base with Brandon Belt at the plate in the Bottom of the eighth.

Belt walks, so it doesn't make a difference. But in a 1-1 tie, Brewers need to get that third out.

Steve Sax said...

giants just hit a three-run HR and blew it open in the bottom of the 8th.

i'm turning this off.
