It sounds like the vuvuzelas from the World Cup.

Yeah that tunnel sounding echo on the telecast is trippy weird and not in a good way.

You guys kill me making fun of Avi. Offensively or defensively, we haven't had a right fielder close to as good as Avi since he left. And we won't have one this year either. 

Regardless of what you think of Garcia you can't possibly think he's a good fit in center.

Well, since he's been gone SO long... 

Last year was a rebuilding year, this year we have Mazara/Engel, next year, Joc or George Springer, haha.

That said, it would have been nice if one of our 4-5 young minor league outfielders would have risen up to take the bull by the horns.   Adolfo probably had the most physical potential of anyone outside of Luis Robert/Moncada.

Either that gun is way off...or something is waaay off. Regardless...why he wasn't throwing slider down and away to Yelich and down and in to Garcia was criminal. Not a fan of the pitch selection.

Statcast has him sitting 90

Right? You throw Avi nothing but garbage sliders after you get ahead. Not more fastballs.

We sure as shit could have used Kopech.  That said, everybody is facing the same thing.

Rodon hurt?

Yeah, we're gonna get one of those guys. Give me a break. Plus I don't think Joc is better than Avi.

he's always hurt so wouldn't suprise.

Rodon lives and dies with his slider. Him hanging it over and over again is a bigger issue than his fastball velo being down

Nice hustle Leury!

With Rodon looking scary, we better keep getting runs. 

Apparently, most of the Cardinals who have tested positive are being termed as asymptomatic.

Cardinals won't be playing until next FRI.   Brewers have been off four days.   It's a mess.    

This background noise is just terrible

crap pitch selection then...just bad.

Calling it: Madrigal will get his first XBH right here.

Adam Engel an OBP in the early going.

Counsell might be appealing HPB.

We need runs tonight. Make them pay, Nicklaus.

come on engel!

LMAO Mads

God Leury is so baseball dumb.

Avi can’t play CF!?

Avi Garcia is not a centerfielder
