Hiura batting his way to the bench.

Devin Williams gets hit hard again. Now 3 out of 4 games. The one game he didn't give up a run he walked 2 in an inning.
Hiura is a work in progress, and the Brewers are 7-6, (with Hiura accounting for the lions share of why they are not 8-5).
If you buy into the stats,
What channel they on tonight? I can’t find them.
I believe you need Bally Sports in Sconnie? I stream via MlbTV.com.
Yeah, tennis is on Bally WI. Bucks are on the Bally WI plus. I can’t find them anywhere tonight. Or is tonight a Facebook live stream?
Uek on the radio isn’t a bad consolation prize!
Now this is more like against the worst team in the NL Central. Brewers bat around in the 1st, scoring 5 runs, all with 2 outs.
Shaw, Urias and Hiura all with some nice glovework in the 2nd.
Great.
I compliment Urias into the yips.
Why does Vogelbach remind me of Chris Farley?
Because he lives in a van down by the river?

I don't get Bally, blacked out of nearly everything on MLB. I've watched one game this year, catch the highlights in the morning.
"Did you know that an MLB.TV purchaser in Las Vegas can’t watch the Diamondbacks, the Dodgers, the Padres, the Angels, the Athletics or the Giants?"
Shit.
And I was pissed when I lived just 2 hours from there in Utah and I was blocked from Brewer games vs. the Rockies and Diamondbacks. In Florida, I'm blocked from the Marlins (300 freaking miles away) and Rays (200 miles)
When we move to Asheville, I'll be blocked from Braves and.......Reds games.
Maddening for fans. As mentioned, maybe Manfred could spend his time concerning himself with this topic as opposed to others.

We are using Roku and have dropped DISH. The only Brewer games I've watched is when the are on FS1 or ESPN. Sucks is right!!!!!!!!!!!!

On the plus side, they have the best hookers.
5-5 in the 9th. 2 Vogelbombs today. Can he get the hattrick?
Or, Counsell could have his hitters learn how to bunt to move a runner over with no outs and behind in xtra innings. Poor game management once again https://t.co/lkTfZ6l6Nq

For those of you like me that don't get FS WI (Bally WI now) anymore try uzzu.tv. I signed up for the 1-week package at first for $7 or so just to give it a try. On opening day the Brewer feed did freeze up on me a couple of times, but it's been perfect ever since.
Last week I signed up for the 1-month package to try it out a little more. Was about $18 for the month. If I'm happy after the month is up I'll get the yearly pass for about $110.
They don't have an auto-pay so no worry about cancelling if you're not happy, just don't renew.
Not sure how or if it's entirely legal, but they claim to be US-based. MBL, NHL, NBA are all streamed along with all the FS regional channels.
I've gone from 90% skeptical to about 25% skeptical (it does seem too good to be true). We'll see if it's legit or not, but I've been able to catch Brewers and Bucks games for the past 3 weeks. Watch mainly on my phone and laptop, but I also installed the DuplexPlay app on my Samsung Smart TV and am getting Uzzu through that now.
Does anyone care that the Badger Women’s volleyball team is undefeated at 17 - 0. and on the verge of being NCAA champions??? Go. BADGERS Go. ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
Never change Goldie, never change! 😀
I just can’t get past the extra innings start the person on 2B. I know get off my lawn but personally I think it’s stupid.
It is there because MLB thinks people don't want 15 inning games. They want the game over in 2 1/2 hours because they think people lose their attention if a game goes any longer. I know I'm in the minority but I live 3 hours + from American Family Field. I wouldn't drive to Milwaukee the see a 2 hour movie but I'm supposed to drive to Milwaukee for a 2 hour baseball game. With all the blackout rules for TV, runner on 2nd for extra innings, pitchers forced to throw to 3 batters, well baseball is just killing it self.
MLB isn’t going to grow their fan base and pull in (more) younger viewers with that new rule.
Baseball is a slow, methodical, structured experience and honestly it’s part of the appeal for some fans. They could cut the game to 5 innings and have 1 hour games and you still won’t get some people to watch.
What MLB continues to trip over themselves about is they think the game is what gets people to watch. As with just about any professional sport, it’s about star players. And how the those organIzations and leagues market those star players.
Mike Trout might be one of the best players of his generation but how many people have actually watched him play? Everyone knows who Pat Mahomes is or who LeBron James is.

Asheville, NC? The Smoky Mountains are beautiful. My wife is from there.
Yeah, we bought the Biltmore Estate and are turning it into an airbnb. 
Mrs. Kiel and I are kinda nomadic and thought we'd give Western NC a try. Beautiful area---our neighborhood is right off of the Blue Ridge Parkway. Won't be there for around 18 months as we haven't even put a shovel in the ground yet. Neat place---kinda like the Austin of the East Coast.
Lotsa breweries popped up in that area....you should have a good time sampling them all
That's my Shark Tank pitch.
Don't wreck it for me.
5 spot and it’s 5-0... and Burnes is dealing.
Billy McKinney have a game! Hits a bomb to get em on the board, then saves at least 2 runs with a full-extension dive in the corner... WOW!!!
They’ve been getting on Burnes’ off speed stuff the last 2 innings. Not as much break on the slider, not as much movement on the cutter. Loaded with 1 out...
Nice work by Burnes to get out of the jam. Still 5-0...
Burnes showed something there. Getting out of a 2-on/nobody out and bases loaded/one out jam.
Burnes now has opened the season with 39 strikeouts against no walks. He did hit a guy tonight, but still no walks.
Burnes 2019 season is one of the more puzzling seasons in Brewer history.
In 2018, 2020, and 2021, Burnes has a win-loss record of 13-2. He has appeared in 66 games and has an ERA under 2.00 and a WHIP of under 1.00. In these three seasons his numbers look like Pedro Martinez.
In 2019, he was probably the worst pitcher in baseball. An ERA of almost 9. It was almost all because he gave up home runs at the pace a batting practice pitchers would. 17 HRs in 49 innings. Was he tipping pitches?
Now in 2021, he's had one of the greatest 4 game stretches in baseball history. 40 strikeouts, 0 walks, his WHIP is about 0.33.
Almost all MLB hitters can hit a 4 seam fastball no matter how fast it is thrown. Since Burnes has developed a sinker he throws at 98 MPH and a cutter that is 96 MPH he is much more effective. Add in a staight change and a curve, he has been pitching well. I also remember he used to wear glasses but doesn't now. Don't know if he has contacts now or had Lasix surgery. Maybe it's his Hader like hair.
