2009-04-18 Brewers (Gallardo) at Mets (Santana): 12:10 PM CDT [Brewers lose, 1-0]

[pebadger]

Two guys can't catch ball, probably costs them the game. New day, same general pattern.

[brains and braun]

Ugh. We need to steal this game, and it ain't looking great.

[razzzorsharp]

Walk+Error+Run=Putz+Krod

 

Simple math really.

[thablingster]

That ball Weeks dropped was about as routine as it gets. Just a horrible time to make an error like that.

 

Villa needs to get through this inning with only one scoring.

[RU Rah Rah]

Kendall's bat + Rickie's glove = major headache

[thablingster]

Okay Rickie, nice play there to get out of the inning.

 

We have 9-1-2 against Putz and 3-4-5 against K-Rod, we can still do this. Gotta keep the positive thinking going!

 

.. and there is a one pitch out, lol.

[DHonks]

Russ, going back to his MLB draft scouting video years ago, he always has shown a unique ability to catch guys looking on the heater. I've posted it before.

[RU Rah Rah]

OK, Rickie, redemption time.

[DHonks]

based on gameday, it seems Rickie's least favorite play came back to haunt him--covering first. He always has shied away from the ball at first.

[Marc Newfield of Dreams]

Can't help but think 6 up 6 down to end it, waste a great outing with a bad error. Hope I'm wrong.

[RU Rah Rah]

What a sad, sad trio of AB's in the top of the 8th. I know Putz was dealing, but...

[Ennder]

Weeks error didn't lead to the run for what it is worth. They would have scored even if he makes the play.

[monkeyman343434]

Regarding the error, not that it's an excuse or anything, but it surely doesn't help that Prince throws like a girl, why couldn't he have made a nice throw and hit him in the chest with a solid throw instead of throwing a gravity ball to his feet?

[pebadger]

DHonks,

 

It's worse than gameday can show. He dropped it like a fourth grader drops the ball, sort of reaching straight out for it as a soft toss came to him.

[eanelson4]

Corey Hart did NOT go around. Horrible call by the ump. He should have at least checked down the line.

[bigredrobbo]

Not at all. Runner got 3rd on the error, when he would have been held at 2nd.

Not at all. Runner got 3rd on the error, when he would have been held at 2nd.

 

And then Reyes gets a single on the line drive with the runner maybe advancing, castillo hits a single and the run scores from 2nd or 3rd.

I dunno. The bat went pretty much through the hitting zone. Could have gone either way.

[brains and braun]

Wow.

[Gobias Industries]

This is getting a bit ridiculous.

[razzzorsharp]

That wasn't a strike to Hardy. At least it didnt look like one to me.

[Ennder]

These 1 run losses are just getting annoying.

[RU Rah Rah]

What a lousy loss!

[wibadgers23]

That wasn't a strike to Hardy. At least it didnt look like one to me.

Watching it live, it didn't look like a strike to me either. But the replay showed a pretty good pitch on the outside corner, IMO. Frusturating loss.

[COOOOP]

A K and a caught stealing to end the game. Sadly this is what I expect lately. I am actually kind of encouraged by us giving up only one run!
