00:01:58off we go my drive let off the
00:02:03game on Thursday with a home run
00:02:05and that's about where all of the
00:02:07bright spots for the White Sox
00:02:12stopped 2 and 0 on my draft only
00:02:15when Contreras was thinking about
00:02:17a challenge right there that was
00:02:18pretty close but it was low so to
00:02:23all Patrick delivers and that's
00:02:26high and now we'll get a
00:02:28challenge so the Brewers
00:02:35challenging this potential strike
00:02:37call instead of 2 and 0 would be
00:02:383 and 0 and how close is it it is
00:02:41a ball just missed by how much
00:02:45Brewers now down to one missed by
00:02:48a tenth of an inch ABS powered by
00:02:51T-Mobile so instead of two and
00:02:57one it's three you know and my

00:03:52he's going to be able to come up
00:03:53with today he's going to been
00:03:55working on those in spring
00:03:56training and toward the end of the
00:03:57year he was breaking off some
00:03:58curveballs develop that in a trip
00:04:02down to triple A Nashville sent
00:04:05down for the first time in July
00:04:08when Brandon Woodruff rejoined the
00:04:09squad came off the injury list he
00:04:12went down then was shuttling back
00:04:13and forth July through the rest of
00:04:15the season but he was critical to
00:04:17the Brewers postseason success in
00:04:18the bullpen one of the many
00:04:22starters that the Brewers used last
00:04:24year very effectively 17 different
00:04:28starting pitchers that the Brewers
00:04:30used in 2025 Montgomery swinging to
00:04:38miss it's one and two was 0 for 4
00:04:41on opening day with three K's then
00:04:44you could say there were a lot of
00:04:45strikeouts for the White Sox
00:04:4620 in all for the Brewers pitching
00:04:48staff 20 strikeouts of the 27
00:04:50outs amazing what a day for the
00:04:54Brewer pitching staff all started
00:04:56out by Mizorowski amazing job by
00:05:00him cool shot from our drone
00:05:03looking through the panes of glass
00:05:05the one to struck him out there's
00:05:09that breaking ball Jeff Patrick
00:05:11gets strikeout number one have been
00:05:15a lot of swings and misses
00:05:16for this White Sox group opening day
00:05:21and now the breaking ball swings
00:05:22right over the top of it look like
00:05:24a slider Patrick got ahead of
00:05:32Montgomery got rid of him quickly
00:05:36now Ben Intendi 20 homers a year ago
00:05:53for Ben Intendi and he's in an 0 2
00:05:54hole there's that breaking ball
00:05:56field field again for Patrick they
00:05:58figure these White Sox aren't looking
00:06:00for that pitch I mean it's been a
00:06:01lot of fastballs his first season
00:06:05White Sox been looking at the
00:06:06scanning reports and video and
00:06:08seeing a lot of fastballs but he's
00:06:11got a pretty good breaking pitch
00:06:12going first inning Trier's not
00:06:16afraid to go to it in this first
00:06:17inning 0 2 ground ball sharply hit a
00:06:21fair ball hits off the side wall
00:06:24freely gets to it quickly and
00:06:25holds Ben Intendi to a long
00:06:27single Ben Intendi doing a good job
00:06:33turning the fastball right on the
00:06:35inside corner pretty close to that
00:06:38inside edge able to barrel it up
00:06:41check it out the hips pop open and
00:06:43barrels it up just inside the right
00:06:45field line let it hit the chalk
00:06:56long single now it's going to Taka
00:07:00Morikami homered in his final at
00:07:02bat of the game book ending the
00:07:04scoring for the White Sox it was
00:07:06his first big league hit first big
00:07:07league homer was not a cheapie

00:07:14ninth inning on Thursday it's a
00:07:16good at bats against Mizorowski
00:07:18walked twice against him.
00:07:24And the only hitter in the White
00:07:26Sox lineup that did not strike
00:07:27out on Thursday one twice against
00:07:34Miz talked about Miz walked three
00:07:36batters at all allowed just five
00:07:41total base runners chat with Miz
00:07:45in the third inning today that's
00:07:47on the ground foul game Thursday
00:07:55day off yesterday and now the
00:07:59season really begins today.
00:08:00Yeah all the emotion all the
00:08:02excitement of opening day good
00:08:06crowd here at the ballpark
00:08:07tonight.
00:08:13Found away two balls two strikes that
00:08:15was the cutter from Patrick that's
00:08:16his big strikeout pitch.
00:08:25Patrick with one hundred and seventy
00:08:27innings a year ago including his
00:08:30big league time his minor league
00:08:31time and the postseason career
00:08:34high in innings for Chad Patrick
00:08:37to two to come in average almost a
00:08:40strikeout per inning pitch in the
00:08:42big leagues a year ago and twenty
00:08:45seven strikeouts just shy of one
00:08:46hundred and twenty innings not a
00:08:52ton of wins just three wins and
00:08:54did not win a game after the thirty
00:08:56twenty first of May pitched well
00:09:00despite not picking up wins three
00:09:06two pitch Benintendi will go and
00:09:08it's ball four long first inning
00:09:11Chad Patrick extends to Lenin
00:09:22Sosa the twenty four pitch first
00:09:25inning for Jacob Mizorowski on
00:09:28opening day on Thursday and
00:09:29already Contreras out to chat
00:09:30with Chad Patrick for this
00:09:33sequence of Sosa they gave up
00:09:35the lead off home run the major
00:09:36off and then struck out the next
00:09:38three an incredible job by the
00:09:43Miz yesterday and it really wasn't
00:09:45the triple digit fastball that
00:09:47was featuring yesterday he had a
00:09:50few of them but most of them
00:09:51were in the upper 90s not
00:09:58surprising a lot of his
00:09:59strikeouts came on the fastball
00:10:01but man he broke off some really
00:10:03nice curveballs and the change
00:10:05up was a bigger pitch for him
00:10:06too especially second time
00:10:07through the order.
00:10:15Sosa takes down and away the
00:10:16cutter command early for Chad
00:10:18Patrick not what he wants.
00:10:34Here's a strike.
00:10:36Patrick stayed behind to pitch in
00:10:39the final game of Cactus League
00:10:41play on Sunday against the
00:10:42Chicago Cubs.
00:10:44The rest of the team left that
00:10:46day to come back to Milwaukee.
00:10:52He has pitch count up to 87 that
00:10:54afternoon.
00:10:56Sosa pops it up.
00:10:59Jake Bowers hustling in in fair
00:11:02territory secures the catch and
00:11:04the socks are done in the top of
00:11:06the first to rank and chairs and
00:11:09yellow coming up.
00:11:14And the blue moon.
00:11:21And he would be a good driver.
00:11:23And the way his contribution
00:11:25will be the first of the
00:11:27years and the Germans live in,
00:11:29He's making a decision.
00:11:33And the way his response
00:11:35is going to be the highest
00:11:37a higher level.
00:11:38And the way his response
00:12:45Family field in Milwaukee Pat Murphy and his squad trying to get the two and all back to back National
00:12:51League manager of the year that's Murphy's starting lineup brought to you by Pottawatomie Sportsbook.
00:12:55A lot of lefties in there to rank Contreras Helich Bowers Mitchell Freelich and Ortiz David Hamilton and then Brandon
00:13:02Lockridge makes his first start of the year.
00:13:05They get Sean Burke last year's opening day starter for the White Sox.
00:13:09Yeah.
00:13:0922 stars 28 appearances for him.
00:13:12You can see the record not that great but not bad work out of him.
00:13:16You know fastball curveball slider not overpowering.
00:13:19He will throw some change up to lefties.
00:13:22There's a number of left handers in Pat Murphy's lineup tonight.
00:13:27Terang fouls it away.
00:13:28He had a couple of hits including a double on opening day.
00:13:32Big pitch for Berg the Cutter as you mentioned and for Bryce Terang getting off to a great start.
00:13:40Picking up right where he left off in the World Baseball Classic.
00:13:43Fly ball to left got some carry Benintendi on the warning track gets over his head and off the wall.
00:13:51Terang in the second with a leadoff double for the second straight game.
00:13:55Interesting angle on that out in left field.
00:13:58Look at he had a play on that baseball.
00:14:00Maybe lost sight of it.
00:14:03Not quite sure those glass panels above the first base grandstand might have came into play.
00:14:10What about Terang the power that he's showing to the opposite field here.
00:14:15I'm going to bang that one at the bottom of the wall.
00:14:17Check out Benintendi.
00:14:19Look how he had it zeroed in.
00:14:22He's got to catch it.
00:14:23I mean really that's that's important.
00:14:25That's a fly ball that needs to be caught.
00:14:27Just kind of gave up on it.
00:14:30Plenty of room.
00:14:31Turns into a double and a man in scoring position for Contreras.
00:14:43Contreras broke the game open with a three run double in the second inning and knocked the starter out of
00:14:49the game.
00:14:50Shane Smith.
00:14:55The biggest hit of the game in my mind on Thursday.
00:14:59That bases loaded two out double.
00:15:02Drove in three gave the Brewers a four to one lead.
00:15:04Never looked back.
00:15:08Nothing but crooked numbers for the Brewers offense.
00:15:12En route to that 14 to two win.
00:15:17Strike with the slider two and one.
00:15:26And Contreras last year really got going in the second half.
00:15:32At least in the power department finished with 17 homers.
00:15:36Swing and a miss.
00:15:39Ten of those came in the month of August.
00:15:41And it's amazing a guy catching just about every day getting stronger at the plate as the season goes on.
00:15:46It doesn't happen much.
00:15:57Three and two on William.
00:16:06There's yellow waiting next.
00:16:17Fly ball to right.
00:16:20It's deep towards the corner.
00:16:23Foul.
00:16:27Well it looks like it's carried pretty well at night.
00:16:30Yeah.
00:16:31You just get back into Arizona.
00:16:33I mean the ball is.
00:16:34Really carry.
00:16:35Even terranes double look like it was a routine fly to left.
00:16:38They just kept going.
00:16:43You like the approach.
00:16:44Taking it to the opposite field pitch up and away.
00:16:49Not a lot of legs in that swing.
00:16:52That's called getting it deep right there.
00:16:54Yeah.
00:17:03Runner goes ground ball back to the mound.
00:17:06It's an out of the glove of Burke.
00:17:08They'll get the out at first base.
00:17:10Terrang advances to third.
00:17:14And that one's stolen.
00:17:15Of course.
00:17:17Contreras has no choice but to swing at it.
00:17:25He would have had that one stolen easily.
00:17:28Over two strikes.
00:17:30Got a swing.
00:17:32Infield comes up for the White Sox.
00:17:35For Christian Yelich.
00:17:36A couple of hits on opening day including a run down at him.
00:17:46One hundred and fifty games a year ago for Yelich.
00:17:50Most he played in a season in a long time.
00:17:58He was awfully productive at 25 and he grounds one through the right side to give the Brewers a one
00:18:03nothing lead.
00:18:09He had to get the double get him over get him in.
00:18:12And that's what the Brewers did so well.
00:18:15Last year.
00:18:18Good at bats advancing base runners driving him in with from third base with less than two outs.
00:18:24And Christian Yelich gets one to hit and finds the hole in the right field.
00:18:30Infield in.
00:18:31About a hole in that infield.
00:18:35Jake Bowers finds himself in the cleanup spot today.
00:18:39And he'll be at first base for the majority of the time now for Milwaukee with no Andrew Vaughn.
00:18:49Bowers hit a three run homer a towering shot that I thought was going to scrape the roof at one
00:18:54point.
00:18:55Launch angle of 44 degrees.
00:18:57They see a home run a day for this guy lately in this.
00:19:00Take it.
00:19:02Yeah.
00:19:08The ground ball right side that's a base hit.
00:19:11Yellow to go from first to third throw goes all the way through.
00:19:16And because of it Bowers in the second.
00:19:18Yeah there you go.
00:19:19I mean ill-advised throw from right for Priera.
00:19:25Allowing Bowers to get into second base.
00:19:28Eliminating the double play and another man in scoring position.
00:19:32Curve ball that hangs up there and Bowers gives it a pretty good swing.
00:19:37Just out of the reach.
00:19:39At first base.
00:19:41Why even make that throw.
00:19:44And nobody covering second.
00:19:47The things the Brewers take advantage of so well.
00:19:51Give him an inch.
00:19:53They take a mile.
00:19:53See if they can turn it into a couple of runs as Garrett Mitchell into the five spot today.
00:19:58Mitchell back up the middle.
00:20:00Now score at least one.
00:20:02Here comes Bowers.
00:20:04Throw goes to second.
00:20:06Garrett Mitchell delivers.
00:20:08Brewers pick up right where they left off from Thursday.
00:20:13And first hit of the year for Garrett Mitchell.
00:20:15Drives in a couple of runs.
00:20:18He was on base a couple of times yesterday.
00:20:20Another hanging curve ball.
00:20:22From Burke.
00:20:24This one has hit me written all over it.
00:20:26Right down the middle of the plate.
00:20:27Up in the zone.
00:20:29Infield in.
00:20:30Sneaks into center field.
00:20:32And Brewers with a three spot here in the first.
00:20:38Pitching coach out for the White Sox.
00:20:41For every Brewers run batted in.
00:20:44Northwestern Mutual Foundation funding five hours equivalent to 250 bucks of childhood cancer research.
00:20:50Northwestern Mutual and the Brewers proud to partner in curing childhood cancer.
00:20:56Well the number one offense in the league after one game.
00:20:58That's your Milwaukee Brewers and they pick up.
00:21:01Right where they left off.
00:21:08South really good.
00:21:09Two run home rate.
00:21:10The first home run of the season for the Brewers on Thursday.
00:21:17The first one from Burke.
00:21:21And taken down and away.
00:21:23Well if you head south free with the first home run in the pool you win.
00:21:26First RBI for it was Joey Ortiz.
00:21:29With the bases loaded.
00:21:31Yeah.
00:21:32Again.
00:21:41In and out of the glove of Cairo behind the plate.
00:21:45South free like from opening day.
00:21:48First one of the year.
00:21:52Look how low.
00:21:53He gets that body.
00:21:54Let rock that swing.
00:21:56Lefty versus lefty.
00:21:58Big fly.
00:22:03All right.
00:22:06Runner goes.
00:22:07Fouled back by Freelich on a hit and run for the Brewers.
00:22:11He had a good pitch to hit.
00:22:15We're getting a lot of the play with his pitches in this first inning.
00:22:19That was ninety four right in the center square.
00:22:40Take him low.
00:22:41We typically applaud.
00:22:43Sal Freelich for his ability to get to the high fastball a lot.
00:22:47But that home run that he hit a couple of days ago on the low pitches you talk he covers
00:22:51so much of the strike zone.
00:22:53He just drops those knees and levels that swing out as well as anybody.
00:23:01Spoiled foul.
00:23:02Turning into a typical Sal Freelich at bat.
00:23:05He's just a maddening for a pitcher the way he's able to foul off tough pitches.
00:23:19Another crooked number for the Brewers.
00:23:20They haven't had an inning where they've scored less than two runs all season so far.
00:23:25Yes.
00:23:25It's a game in an inning.
00:23:29Did a lot of that last year.
00:23:34And let the league in innings of four more runs scored.
00:23:43Runner goes foul back again by Sal.
00:23:55Now for the pitcher Sean Burke he is not missing a lot of bats.
00:24:00One swing and miss so far in this inning.
00:24:04A lot of pitches center center.
00:24:10Pitch number eight in the sequence with Sal Freelich.
00:24:19And in the seats having a ninth pitch.
00:24:24If you're a fan and you're get Sal Freelich at the at the plate you know you've got a really
00:24:29good opportunity for foul balls.
00:24:32He's your souvenir guy anywhere in the ballpark.
00:24:35Yes.
00:24:49Runner goes.
00:24:50It is low for the second.
00:24:52Mitchell's in there.
00:24:53He swaps his first bat.
00:25:01And last thing on the mind of Sean Burke is holding runners right.
00:25:04I mean he's worried about getting out and throwing strikes and pretty good lead.
00:25:09Good jump.
00:25:09Not a bad throw.
00:25:11Did hop.
00:25:16I'm going to go out on a limb.
00:25:17I know we've got 161 games to go here rock but I feel like Sal Freelich is going to lead
00:25:21the league this year in pitches per plate.
00:25:23It's.
00:25:24Yeah.
00:25:25Hot take.
00:25:28This is the tenth pitch to Sal and this at bat in time is called.
00:25:33You really think that's really going out on a limb though.
00:25:36The way we've watched Sal over the years.
00:25:38Well.
00:25:40Juan Soto has an opportunity.
00:25:42I get you.
00:25:43I get a lot of guys that see a lot of pitches.
00:25:46Just feel like Sal is going to be in the conversation.
00:25:49Yeah.
00:25:49Okay.
00:25:50I agree.
00:25:54And a fly ball to left center.
00:25:58Ben and Tandy makes the play for out number two.
00:26:03Hyundai in the driver's seat.
00:26:04Joey Ortiz on Thursday against the White Sox two for three a couple of RBIs couple of runs scored.
00:26:10Oh no.
00:26:11By the way his first hit of the year came with the bases loaded and he delivered.
00:26:17Two for three a couple of RBIs a good day for Joey at the plate.
00:26:21Hopefully he's going to be able to keep that going all year.
00:26:25Well he came into camp in great shape hit the weight room.
00:26:31Put some muscle on didn't he.
00:26:34We kid around about being in the best shape of your life when you show up at spring training.
00:26:39But for Joey it really was.
00:26:41Newt Beard and all.
00:26:43And Ortiz pops it up foul territory.
00:26:46Cairo.
00:26:49At a room.
00:26:49It's in the front row.
00:26:54Should say Reese McGuire so used to Cairo catching it is McGuire back there.
00:26:59Former Brewer.
00:27:00Yep.
00:27:01Plus.
00:27:02Jefferson Carroll is up now.
00:27:06Just in case Pat Murphy would like to use Gary Sanchez at first.
00:27:12Against the left handed starters.
00:27:14There's Jefferson.
00:27:18What's going through his mind right now.
00:27:23You've been in that seat I kind of know.
00:27:25Yeah.
00:27:25You can't wait to get in there.
00:27:27Get that first appearance out of the way.
00:27:38No Pat Murphy.
00:27:40It's not going to be long before.
00:27:42Jefferson Carroll gets in there.
00:27:44Incredible defensive skills behind home plate.
00:27:53Tease takes a strike.
00:27:55One and two.
00:27:59Twenty eight pitches in this first inning.
00:28:11And he struck him out.
00:28:12Ends the inning with a K.
00:28:14But the Brewers get three.
00:28:16RBI single from Christian Yellich.
00:28:19Got the Brewers on the board.
00:28:20And then Garrett Mitchell.
00:28:22With a couple of RBIs with a knock.
00:28:24Three nothing after one.
00:28:40You'reked.
00:28:41And now os ör.
00:28:44And that is the most important time.
00:28:47And before us.
00:28:57Oh you actually can't wait.
00:29:02You did bump.
00:29:02Oh, this was a strip I think already in four hundred
00:29:05and he'll be heard of up.
00:29:07You have to look for his now of fifty three
00:29:09nutrire, and痛, andっていう
00:29:15there's nothing move.
00:30:17Chad Patrick back on the mound here at American Family Field now working with a 3-0 lead in our
00:30:22Gruber Law Office's call to the clubhouse, Pat Murphy, talking about Chad Patrick, what he wants to see from him
00:30:27here in his second season.
00:30:28And think about a year ago, he was the last addition to the opening day roster last year in New
00:30:33York, and all he did was take advantage of the opportunity, go out and pitch in 27 games, made the
00:30:38postseason roster, and was fabulous in the postseason.
00:30:41Pat Murphy said he showed us his true colors, pitching in six different games, nine innings overall, allowing just two
00:30:47earned runs.
00:30:48And so, talking about Chad overall, he said with the development, obviously he's coming in with a lot more experience
00:30:53from his rookie season.
00:30:54They want to see him continue to work on the breaking stuff, but that bulldog mentality that he brings to
00:30:59the mound, they certainly want to see more of that.
00:31:01He said Chad is one of those guys that's come up.
00:31:03He's never been a premier prospect.
00:31:05He's had to earn it every opportunity.
00:31:07He's great.
00:31:09But now is the time to push for a little more, guys.
00:31:12Appreciate you, Sophia.
00:31:13I think the at-bat that epitomizes Chad Patrick was in Game 5 against the Cubs.
00:31:19Comes in, bases loaded with only a one-run lead, and goes strikeout, strikeout, and got Ian Happ looking just
00:31:27like he just got Tristan Peters.
00:31:30That cut her on the outside corner.
00:31:33And we've got a challenge.
00:31:36I believe this is going to be lost by the White Sox.
00:31:40Yeah.
00:31:42Look like it had plenty of to play.
00:31:44Not even close.
00:31:47So, a strikeout there on our ABS, powered by T-Mobile.
00:31:52There's that cutter.
00:31:53With that one at-bat rock.
00:31:55You know what I'm talking about.
00:31:55In the fifth inning, when the game was on the line, and Chad Patrick just showed his true colors.
00:32:00It doesn't seem like a whole lot really rattles these guys that come in the games out of the bullpen.
00:32:07I mean, they haven't been around in a long time, but they do have a lot of confidence in what
00:32:11they're doing.
00:32:13Everson Pereira takes out side ball one.
00:32:17And not only are they calm, relaxed, confident, but they can put the ball pretty much where they want to.
00:32:29He's always had to prove it, and Sophia talked about Division II player drafted by Arizona, traded to the A's.
00:32:37Brewers got him from the athletics for Abraham Torrell.
00:32:41Then he wins the Triple Crown in AAA the following year in the Brewers organization.
00:32:49Brewers saw something in Chad Patrick, modified a couple of things, and boom, he's in the big leagues.
00:32:54He's got to look, guys that are confident, and they know they can throw strikes.
00:32:57They're confident that they can get out by putting the ball over the plate.
00:33:02Not nibbling so much.
00:33:0627-year-old.
00:33:10Here's the 2-1 swing and a miss.
00:33:13Yes, there's 4 Seamer at 94 in the corner, 2 and 2.
00:33:20Purdue Northwest University.
00:33:27Check swing, ground ball on a hop.
00:33:29There's Bowers, two away.
00:33:32Let's flash back to game number five against the Chicago Cubs in the Division Series last year.
00:33:38It was in half of the play.
00:33:41And that was the pivotal moment in the game.
00:33:43Cutter right on the outside corner.
00:33:45Perfect pitch.
00:33:47Look at the emotion from Patrick.
00:33:49Yep, he knew how important that was.
00:33:54Starts off the outside corner, that late movement, catching the edge, and got the strikeout.
00:34:01Reese McGuire takes a strike on the corner.
00:34:06We said it a lot last year.
00:34:08We've seen that pitch executed at such a high level.
00:34:11When Corbin Burns was in a Brewer's uniform, but Chad Patrick does it just as well.
00:34:15May not have the same velocity on the cutter, but the executions there.
00:34:19The front door cutter is not an easy pitch to execute, either.
00:34:22I mean, a lot of times, you know, you kind of short arm it, then you don't finish the delivery.
00:34:26It doesn't cut much, and it hangs down the middle of the plate.
00:34:30You know, that glove side cutter for a right-handed pitcher is the easier one to be able to locate.
00:34:37Trying to backdoor it like that.
00:34:38Not easy.
00:34:40The margin for error is so small.
00:34:43McGuire swings and misses, and Patrick with a perfect shutdown inning in the second, including a couple of Ks.
00:34:51Brewers go back to work on offense as Chad Patrick's got three Ks for the first two innings.
00:35:06Brewers go back to work on offense as Chad Patrick's got three Ks for the first two innings.

00:37:10I feel we should have a couple
00:37:12more flames up here.
00:37:13No.
00:37:14Yeah.
00:37:16Hamilton fouls it away.
00:37:18Well the game on Thursday I mean
00:37:19I think one flame would have
00:37:21been would have sufficed on
00:37:22Thursday right.

00:37:23Ninety eight ninety nine.
00:37:25Yeah.
00:37:26I mean this is I'm going to
00:37:27ask him if that was by design.
00:37:29He's going to come on in the
00:37:30third.
00:37:31Maybe we should ask him about this
00:37:33bobblehead see if he's seen it
00:37:34yet.
00:37:35I bet he's got a whole case

00:38:07hair as Peters is there to make
00:38:09the catch.

00:38:25them.
00:38:27That over at the the barrel yard.

00:38:30Someone eating a plate of nachos

00:38:33stadiums.
00:38:35Lockridge waves and misses for
00:38:37strike one.
00:38:38Hey Renee just gave me one.
00:38:40Yeah.
00:38:40I think she just put yours on the
00:38:43bobblehead stack.
00:38:45Okay.
00:38:47We'll get the roof open here.
00:38:49Yeah.
00:38:49That's a good look for it.
00:38:50Yeah.

00:38:51Here you go.
00:38:52See rock got his hands on one
00:38:53now.
00:38:53Yeah.
00:38:54Yeah.
00:38:55Does it close.
00:38:55No I don't think it closes.
00:38:57No.
00:38:57No.
00:38:58It doesn't move.
00:38:59It's nice though.
00:39:01Love it.
00:39:02So good.
00:39:03Keeping us.
00:39:08Lockridge takes inside.
00:39:10You should keep that.
00:39:14You sure this is the years that
00:39:16Renee just gave me positive.
00:39:18Mine's still in the box over by
00:39:19my feet.
00:39:20Gotcha.
00:39:23Check the swing.
00:39:25Didn't go.
00:39:26Two and two.
00:39:33A lot of great promo items this
00:39:35year for the Brewers theme nights.
00:39:37A plenty.
00:39:38They make it affordable.
00:39:41Not only do you get to see a
00:39:42really good baseball team but you
00:39:44get stuff when you show up.
00:39:48Fouled into the glove of McGuire
00:39:50for a strikeout.
00:39:51Pretty good breaking pitch right
00:39:52there.
00:39:56They wonder how that misplay and
00:39:59left affected Burke in that
00:40:01first inning.
00:40:02I mean that fly ball from Bryce
00:40:05to Rag look I was going to be a
00:40:07routine out for whatever reason
00:40:08Ben and Tendi gave up on it.
00:40:11Opened up the floodgates.
00:40:15Terrain takes high.
00:40:17That's all it takes one one play
00:40:19or one misplay and it derails an
00:40:22inning.
00:40:22Think about Paul skeins on
00:40:23opening day against the Mets.
00:40:25O'Neal Cruz lost two baseballs
00:40:27in center field in the sun and
00:40:29it turned into a thirty five
00:40:31pitch inning and he didn't even
00:40:32get out of the first.
00:40:36What happens to the best of
00:40:38them.
00:40:46Terrain took it right down the
00:40:47middle.
00:41:10Terrain will have another double
00:41:12on a ball that was misplayed by
00:41:14Ben and Tendi.
00:41:17It took him a while to get going.
00:41:19Not sure if he saw it right away.
00:41:21This one just lands inside that
00:41:22left field line.
00:41:24And attending not all that fleet
00:41:26of foot but.
00:41:27And once again Bryce Terrain the
00:41:30benefactor of.
00:41:32Some bad play out in left field.
00:41:35He said play a little bit more
00:41:37difficult than the first.
00:41:41They gave up on it a little bit.
00:41:45He'll take two doubles.
00:41:46He'll take it.
00:41:48He's got three doubles on the
00:41:50season now.
00:41:57And that's inside that had a four
00:42:04percent hit rate for Bryce
00:42:07Terrain according to our stat
00:42:10cast it's fouled away and the
00:42:17first one was probably the same.
00:42:27I can tell you let's go back.
00:42:34Thirty five percent.
00:42:36Okay.
00:42:39Here's a strike on Contreras.
00:42:42That is a big roundhouse slider
00:42:45he's throwing right now a lot of
00:42:46break to it.
00:42:47Not a whole lot of tilt going
00:42:49down but.
00:42:50A lot of right to left break.
00:43:02Right side and that one will
00:43:04sneak out of play.
00:43:14A little scuffle for that
00:43:15souvenir.
00:43:16You want it.
00:43:17I got it.
00:43:18We got it.
00:43:18Well I got it.
00:43:19Nobody got it.
00:43:21Landed in a plate of nachos.
00:43:25Still looking for it.
00:43:26Where is it?
00:43:27It's an Easter egg hunt.
00:43:30That's next weekend.
00:43:36Two and two.
00:43:55And now we'll see pitch number
00:43:5950 here to Contreras.
00:44:06Pitch number 50 here to Contreras.
00:44:14The first runner goes.
00:44:15Foul back.
00:44:17Do it again.
00:44:24Brewers are making him work.
00:44:26Second inning already 50 pitches.
00:44:30Trending to be a short start.
00:44:33Made Shane Smith for a fifty four
00:44:36in an inning and two thirds.
00:44:37On Thursday.
00:44:45And he walked up.
00:44:47So we'll get Christian Yellich
00:44:49coming up and nobody loosening in
00:44:50that White Sox bullpen.
00:44:53That's the first walk.
00:44:54Ball for Felco.
00:44:56It's presented by.
00:44:58Felco.
00:45:04Run scoring single for Yellich
00:45:06in the first.
00:45:37Strike on the inside corner.
00:45:39Just in case you're curious and
00:45:41you're looking at our score bug
00:45:42in the lower right hand corner
00:45:44of your TV screens or.
00:45:46Your tablets whatever you're
00:45:47watching us on today.
00:45:48The little tic tacs on the left
00:45:50side next to the White Sox and
00:45:51the Brewers logo.
00:45:52Those are the A.B.S.
00:45:53Challenges remaining.
00:45:54His team has lost one.
00:45:56Yellich fouls it away.
00:45:58I think we talked about that on
00:45:59Thursday so.
00:46:01For those of you new to Brewers
00:46:02TV that is how you keep track
00:46:04of how many A.B.S.
00:46:05Challenges.
00:46:06Are remaining.
00:46:07What's wrong with reminding
00:46:08folks right.
00:46:10Never a bad idea right.
00:46:11Too much information and not
00:46:13enough.
00:46:21Yellich pounce it into the
00:46:23ground this is going to be a
00:46:24base hit.
00:46:25Burke throws wide.
00:46:27It gets away.
00:46:29Terrain will score.
00:46:30Contreras the third.
00:46:33Compounding the issue was
00:46:34Burke.
00:46:36First it was on right field and
00:46:38ill-advised throw.
00:46:40Allowing Bowers to get into the
00:46:41second base.
00:46:43And now I'm not sure why Burke
00:46:44throws his baseball.
00:46:45There's no way.
00:46:47Yellich was by the bag when it
00:46:49got to first base.
00:46:52Bad throw and a good base
00:46:54running out there.
00:46:56By Terrain really not slowing
00:46:58down much and able to score
00:47:00easily.
00:47:02And mistakes by the White Sox.
00:47:06Brewers have capitalized on
00:47:08those many a time.
00:47:10It's a base hit and he won.
00:47:11To allow the run to score and
00:47:13Contreras to get the third.
00:47:17Bowers a base hit.
00:47:20One for one.
00:47:23Runner goes.
00:47:24Fouled back by Bowers he had a
00:47:26big cut.
00:47:26One for two.
00:47:27One for two.
00:47:34Brewers 81 and 17 last season
00:47:37was scoring four more runs.
00:47:38Best of the big leagues.
00:47:40It's also a feature.
00:47:42On our Brewers TV broadcasts.
00:47:45Every time you hear that.
00:47:47We're going to get a cool stat
00:47:48in the lower left hand corner.
00:47:50Just to make you aware.
00:47:52Listen carefully.
00:47:53Yes.
00:47:54Ears perk up what.
00:47:56Everybody's trained to see
00:47:57something cool on the TV
00:47:58screen.
00:48:01Bowers fouls it back again.
00:48:2156 pitches and still nobody
00:48:23loosening in that White Sox
00:48:24bet.
00:48:30Oh to come and runner goes and
00:48:32it's low and Yellich will steal
00:48:33second without a throw.
00:48:41second stolen base of the game.
00:48:43The Brewers.
00:48:45And just conceding that stolen base.
00:48:48They can maybe get the hitter
00:48:49you're out of the inning.
00:48:51No sense of making a throw.
00:49:02Bowers pops it up foul and into
00:49:04the seats.
00:49:05Twenty nine pitches in the first.
00:49:07Twenty nine pitches so far in
00:49:09the second for Berg.
00:49:15The reason the Brewers are able
00:49:16to foul a lot of these pitches
00:49:17always because he's getting a
00:49:19lot of the plate with him.
00:49:22A whole lot of pitches on the
00:49:24corners.
00:49:28So Chad Patrick sitting in the
00:49:30dugout.
00:49:31For the last three months of the
00:49:33season after his last week
00:49:34the first win which was on the
00:49:35thirty first of May.
00:49:37The Brewers never scored more
00:49:39than four runs for him.
00:49:41I think he's enjoying sitting in
00:49:42the dugout right now and seeing
00:49:44this run production.
00:49:48He had an earned run average
00:49:50under three at home last year.
00:49:54He pitched well at home.
00:49:55in his ballpark.
00:50:04Two and two again on Bowers.
00:50:06Foul back again.
00:50:12Time in and time out the Brewers
00:50:14taking advantage.
00:50:16Of opponents mistakes.
00:50:18Did it a ton last year and doing
00:50:21it again in twenty six.
00:50:23First in the big leagues and
00:50:24unearned runs.
00:50:25A year ago.
00:50:27Hundred and three of them.
00:50:33Three and two on Bowers.
00:50:43Here's the payoff.
00:51:03Bowers took a called third
00:51:05strike.
00:51:05He knew it.
00:51:07Burke finally gets out of the
00:51:09inning.
00:51:09The Brewers get one more.
00:51:10They've got a four nothing lead
00:51:12against the White Sox on a
00:51:14perfect night for baseball in
00:51:15Milwaukee.
00:51:35Jordan.
00:51:38Female in the audience.
00:51:44Nice and we're all about
00:51:50A half.
00:51:52You can see it's one.
00:51:53The team's doing too.
00:51:53The club across town,
00:51:53Two of the teams.
00:51:54What is going to be doing?
00:51:55The.
00:52:00The team's doing.
00:52:04The other team's doing too.
00:52:05What are you doing?
00:53:05Now it's time for discipline that delivers brought to you by Vanguard most strikeouts with the cutter in twenty twenty
00:53:12five that your guy Chad Patrick at the most in the big leagues Chris Basson then Garrett crochet followed first
00:53:19pitch outside of the lease on help Acuna fifty three strikeouts with the cut fastball last year for Chad Patrick.
00:53:27Good command of it both arm side and glove side.
00:53:32Swing and a miss on that cutter.
00:53:37There's enough off of it.
00:53:39Yeah.
00:53:39What a great sunset today by the way.
00:53:41That's something.
00:53:43Yeah.
00:53:46Down in a way there's enough off of the fastball velocity from that cutter typically.
00:53:52It's about three or four miles an hour difference.
00:53:54This is about a seven or eight mile an hour difference between the two pitches actually called a slider if
00:54:00it takes enough off of it.
00:54:02Maybe a little bit more break to it.
00:54:05It's all about the velocity doesn't really have a pitch that goes down and into a right hander.
00:54:14I mean it does have the two seamer talking about you know change ups might throw one every now and
00:54:20again not too many.
00:54:26But if you can command that that cutter to lefties on the outside corner kind of works just as well.
00:54:37Can I imagine as a left handed batter how quickly you would give up on it and then at the
00:54:41last moment catches that edge.
00:54:46And then you throw the two seamer off of that pitch.
00:54:50That's deadly.
00:54:51Something always.
00:54:53Moving right.
00:54:54You don't know what's going to be coming in on you or going away from you.
00:54:58Makes it difficult.
00:54:59He's got good movement on that two seamer.
00:55:01We talk a lot about that with Chris Hook and the guys that he's brought in.
00:55:09About the.
00:55:10The crossers.
00:55:12Throwing at the corners and throwing something like the cutter that's going to go into a lefty and then also
00:55:17throw the two seamer that's going to go away.
00:55:19Almost making an X pattern in the corners.
00:55:22As long as it comes out of the same slot.
00:55:23You know the arm slot.
00:55:25You don't change the.
00:55:26Arm angle.
00:55:28You know for different pitches hitters and pick that up easily.
00:55:33Looks like the same pitch.
00:55:36About two thirds the way to home plate then it's either going to go in or away.
00:55:41It's so hard to hit these days.
00:55:43The way these guys throw.
00:55:45And the velocities.
00:55:46Yeah.
00:55:48My draft hits it to right.
00:55:51Free look.
00:55:51We're playing on a bounce.
00:55:54Well he's put together some good at bats hadn't he.
00:55:58A couple of hits.
00:55:59A walk.
00:56:01And on base a lot.
00:56:03A couple of walks yesterday the home run.
00:56:09There's that two seamer that didn't do a whole lot.
00:56:13Nice easy swing for my draft and another base hit for him.
00:56:18One out single second hit of the night for Chicago.
00:56:24Colson Montgomery struck out one of three K's.
00:56:27Chad Patrick works from the stretch.
00:56:31Strike one.
00:56:36Chad Patrick jersey in the crowd.
00:56:38Family doesn't have to come too far to watch him pitch.
00:56:43Hebron Indiana.
00:56:51This one sky high pop up.
00:56:55Foul territory.
00:56:57For Bowers.
00:57:03Over his first six to start the season for Montgomery.
00:57:06Now it's been intending.
00:57:21The base hit down the right field line back in the first.
00:57:24He's had.
00:57:25Some adventures in left field the first two winnings.
00:57:31Now the second one was a little bit more difficult of a play.
00:57:34I mean.
00:57:35Terrain able to knock that one right down the line.
00:57:39It's not that fast.
00:57:40First one should have been caught.
00:57:42That opened up a big inning.
00:57:51Then intending rifles at foul.
00:57:54The one in the second inning that.
00:57:56Blooped in off the bat to rank.
00:57:58Klaus Burt 19 extra pitches.
00:58:01In that second frame.
00:58:23He's wearing a bunt took a strike.
00:58:33And Patrick frozen that time.
00:58:35He just held on to that baseball until the last second.
00:58:37Literally.
00:58:47Left center.
00:58:48For Gary Mitchell.
00:58:50Makes the catch as he glides out of the warning track to retire the side.
00:58:53Jacob Mizorowski is going to put the headset on and join us in the bottom half of inning number three.
00:59:00Need texto.
00:59:02Okay.
