That batboy looks like Vogelbach's fatter brother.

[Edgy MD]

Vogelzoik has one career triple (achieved this season as a Pirate), zero career steals, and zero career steal attempts.



That's a man that stays in his lane.

[Ceetar]

unlike the Mets, the Brewers are on board with the more much reasonable 6:40 local start. Early weeknight starts are terribly inconvenient for attendees. I guess people watching at home like them more?

no it's not. It's the diff between like a 10-10:30 end time and a 9:30-10 end time, which can easily be the difference between getting home at a semi-reasonable hour and not.



On the other end it's a a good 100 minutes after the end of the "typical" work day. If you need more time than that to get to the park, you're likely outside the target area. And it's not like the rush hour gets better for 7:10.

I was gonna comment on him as well. Don't they make XXXL jerseys?

The “normal” work day does not end at 5 PM for many (most?) New Yorkers.



And, Mets fans clearly disagree with your assessment. Fans-in-seats numbers for 7:10 starts are considerably lower than they are at 7:30. Change the start time and that problem gets worse.

[Edgy MD]

Kelly Gruber has law offices.

[Edgy MD]

Max Scherzer has skillz.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Shame that Max can't try to finish this game.

[Frayed Knot]

We know that Scherzer isn't going to have a problem adjusting to the pitch clock next year. He's just getting it and chucking it tonight.

[Edgy MD]

If any of the relievers need a visit to the mound, Jeremy Hefner should just sit still and send Scherzer out.

Buck could go with Lugo/Ottavino/Diaz but instead is going Megill.

I like Kelly Gruber! One of my favorite non-Mets!

[Edgy MD]

A heckuva play by Buck going to Megill here.

[Marshmallowmilkshake]

Magill has experience in combined special games!

[Lefty Specialist]

Well, there goes the no-hitter.

[kcmets]

Yeah, uh...

[Lefty Specialist]

So, Megill may need to scrape off some rust.

[Edgy MD]

These guys talking about who gets cut as Megill establishes himself in the pen, while Megill says "Not so fast."

[kcmets]

Did you not see the home run?

[Edgy MD]

Max Scherzer: "If you've got to pull me with a perfect game, Buck, then that's what you've got to do. But next time, I get to pick who relieves me."



I'm glad Keith corrected himself on that "Officer Muldoon" business. He and I were about to have words.

[Lefty Specialist]

Nice little tack on run here.



On edit: make that runs.

[Frayed Knot]

And now the five run lead is back.

[Edgy MD]

It feels like somebody forgot to tell Milwaukee that the Brewers are in a playoff race.

[Lefty Specialist]

Is Keith developing a little bald spot?

[TransMonk]

Paid attendance 25K and change. Not that many showed up.

Slightly off-topic for a moment, but you gotta like a mid-west/west coast road trip with only one game post-8 PM



7:40 start again tomorrow, then day games Wednesday plus Saturday & Sunday in Oakland.



Only the Friday night 9:40 start vs A's is a problem time for me (and, I'm assuming, many of you as well).

Corbin Burnes' warmup song is “Friends In Low Places”. Brandon was on the big screen as the lead off batter signing every word.
