Snell is a big problem.  Any solutions that don't involve violence?

That was the only batted ball hit over 350 feet for a GIDP in the pitch tracking era (reg. + postseason).

Also, pretty incredible the RF ump got that right live. That's still a long way from where he is.

What doesn't make sense is Hernandez can tag up as soon as the ball hits the glove (don't need to wait for a finalized catch).Not sure what he or the 3rd Base Coach were thinking there.

That's the thing, he never needed to re-tag.

Snell might've been able to go 15 innings tonight if it went that long. Can we get Hinch to make a call to the pen for us quick?

Too busy counting the money from his new contract.

The Brewers haven't hit anything hard and I don't think anyone has walked.  That said, to be down only a run in the 7th is a positive.

Snell looks like an LSU top pitching recruit who was a second round pick and didn't sign with the MLB team that drafted him going up against his freshman team. Brewers look hung over at the plate, but I can't think of one pitch to someone not named Yeli that has been left over the plate in the zone. And Yeli is just swinging when the ball is already in Smith's glove.

yelich has had same godawful at bats in the playoffs. Baez would've even laid off some of the touches.

Terrible.  Totally undisciplined hacks.

You're allowed to throw 100 pitches in a Playoff game?

I heard they injected him with manatee blood before the game so he could pitch better.

That, and horseshoe crab blood.

Manatees should not be ridiculed or mocked.

A wild pitch here would be nice.

He should have let it hit him.

Not sure how you don't take one for the team there.

100%  No earthly idea what he was thinking.

He's jumped out the way of pitches his whole life. Yes a mistake but I get it.

That's not really a natural reaction to a baseball coming for your kneecap...

Gotta understand the situation there as a batter though.
