Milwaukee Brewers highlights: Blake Perkins on his game-winning throw to William Contreras vs Reds
the read to the throw like what’s what what was your view of it well I was I’ll be honest I was a little nervous cuz um Q moved me moved me over and in a lot um I mean for that specific play so we uh he took the the that percentage play that he was going to hit it there or he wasn’t going to pull it um anyways off the bat it was kind of tough uh I was trying to decide whether or not I was going to go for catch like a dive or play it on the Hop and it fell a little quicker than I had anticipated and I knew I just needed to try and get it get it and get it out as quick as possible and I was able to do that so it was pretty cool you know we came here in a tough moment a couple of nights ago is it that just baseball a game every day you got a chance to change the script yeah I think you said it perfectly that’s just baseball um your highs and your lows and I got to to contribute today so that was that was really cool and um yeah all all good learning experiences how nice was you were able to get that chance just a couple days later game on the line how about that um didn’t have to wait too long uh which is great sometimes you don’t get get that opportunity you know a couple days later so credit to to murf and all our staff too for letting me get back out there how about that catch in the eighth inning too that one was obviously tough as well yeah uh I mean off the bat I I knew that I needed to come in and be aggressive obviously in that situation but it it I don’t know if it was just the crowd in the background but it looked like it was nothing a little bit and uh yeah it went in my glove so that’s the good part is it trick is it tricky to read a line drive like that or did you kind of have an idea right away what I mean it’s the old old adage like we when I was taught was if it’s above my bill it’s either at at me or back and if it’s under my bill it’s something I need to play in so I knew I needed to play it in I just didn’t know if it was going to get to me and it got to me and it was a lot higher than I expected so it almost freaking put me right in the dome
