See Snoop Dogg Throw First Pitch, Give Play-by-Play at Brewers Game
Rapper made a surprise stop at the Brewers’ game against the Reds before his concert on Saturday
Snoop Dogg calls it like he’s sees it. On Saturday, his candor provided extra entertainment during his surprise appearance at American Family Field during the Milwaukee Brewers’ game against the Cincinnati Reds on Saturday, which the Brewers won, 3-1.
The rapper treated fans to the first pitch of the game. He warmed up on the mound with his moves from the music video for “Drop It Like It’s Hot,” and Brewers first base coach Quintin Berry joined him. The rapper then threw a strike to Berry.
While that earned a standing ovation, Snoop struck pure gold when he headed to the booth for the Bally Sports Wisconsin broadcast with Brian Anderson and Bill Schroeder, where he commented on plays live at the game. “I came in where the players come in at,” he told them. “’Cause I’m a player.” He then joined them in detailing play-by-plays: “Get up in there!,” he exclaimed.
“Oh Lord, he’s got a rocket in his pocket,” he said as Reds shortstop Elly De La Cruz threw out Brewers second baseman Brice Turang at first base. He also gave props to Brewers’ Christian Yelich. “Deuce-deuce, it’s deuce-deuce revolver was my problem solver, let’s go,” he rapped during one of Yelich’s at-bats.
His narration went beyond calling the game to admiration for players’ styles. At one point, he paid a compliment to Reds’ Jonathan India. “Who is that? I like his hair… Look at his hair, his hair bounce like mine… He’s got his hair game together.”
Snoop Dogg’s appearance at the game preceded his show on Saturday night at Milwaukee’s Potawatomi Casino Hotel.

Starting Pitchers
Andrew Abbott
Coming off another great start last Saturday when he pitched five innings of one-run baseball against the Cubs, left-hander Andrew Abbott looks to continue his solid 2024 season against another NL Central rival. Abbott just needs to get past the first inning, where most of the damage has been done against him. In 13.0 innings, he’s allowed 10 earned runs on 11 hits, including three home runs. After the first inning, he settles down, with an ERA under 3.00 from the second to the sixth inning.
The Reds have started to watch his innings a little closer earlier this season after fatigue hit him in September last season. Abbott pitched 109.1 innings in 2023, the second most of his professional career, and is at 74.0 innings thus far in 2024. They gave him an extra day of rest between starts at the end of May. With two days off this week, he’s had a full week between his last start and today.

Jared Koenig / Bryse Wilson
Left-hander Jared Koenig will get the start for the Brewers as the opener. Koenig has opened for Wilson before, with the most recent coming against the Tigers last Sunday. He pitched 1.2 innings of scoreless baseball with two strikeouts. Koenig throws mainly three pitches: a sinker, cutter, and curveball. His curveball is his best pitch, with a 45% whiff rate.
Right-hander Bryse Wilson is the Brewers’ version of Nick Martinez. He’s started eight of 16 games he’s appeared in this season and has also pitched multiple innings in relief. Left-handed hitters are batting over .300 with a .997 OPS against him. This is the reason the Brewers will start the left-hander Koenig, as David Bell has stacked his lineup with lefties to face Wilson. However, the Reds haven’t hit Wilson all that well, with a .656 team OPS against him in 12 games. He pitched four innings against Cincinnati in April, allowing one run on three hits with three strikeouts and no walks.
