Well, DL making Elias look pretty good.

GG nominated

Hays is really doing a great impression of a guy playing himself out of a starting role.

Tate has good armside run with the sinker, but the velocity is way down.

Wells’ two strike execution leaves a lot to be desired.

Wells is lucky the wall is where it is after another hanging slider.

Hays finally with some solid contact and it’s right at the guy.

This kid for the Brewers has some good stuff.

Already punishing us.

Already at 46 pitches.

Nice!

That was a shaky chance by Holliday.

You were saying?

RM guessing wrong.

Jessica Lange in her prime was quite the knock out.

Maybe not, but if Santander makes a play on a pop up in the first inning for the third out GR would have a shut out.

I wish they were touching the bases more often.

The Red Sox won’t be sad to see Cowser leave tonight.

I agree Brown was being himself.

Could he be moved to RF?

That would be the polite way to describe it. Oddly enough, I thought Brown had kept the awkward non-baseball chatter to a minimum so far this year. He was mocking BM. It wasn’t amusing or cute. His cultural references often seem forced, but his needling was arrogant and pompous. I switched broadcasts.

Oh, I admit he’d be a lot more effective at a higher velocity, but I don’t think he’s getting back to that. There’s a lot of people here including myself at times who were not sure he’d be more than a bullpen piece. That still may be true over time, but even as a mid to back end arm he’ll provide value.

He’s pretty effective now at 92-94. He walked two, but he has command of all his pitches. Both his CU and CH have good depth and movement. Seven of the eight hits allowed (including a bunt base hit) was weak contact and the one hit hard was a ground ball through the 5-6 hole.

Brown says Hays was under the weather before this game started. He looks under the weather every time he has a plate appearance.
