2010-04-09 Cardinals (Lohse) at Brewers (Bush), 7:10 PM CDT [Brewers lose, 5-4]

[trwi7]

McGehee costs us a run.

[dlk9s]

McGehee is an awful defender.

Where were you in the 1st inning?

[endaround]

Just on Gameday, is Bush getting as jobbed as Gameday says he is?

[stoutdude04]

Shoulda been a K on Colby. It was pretty good.

[PeaveyFury]

McGehee is an awful defender.

 

He made a fantastic play in the 1st inning.

[endaround]

McGehee botch the DP or something?

[Point Beer Is Best]

Jeff Kellogg needs new glasses. Calling that a ball is absolute garbage.

Might have been a double-play with Holliday running. Can't believe that was a ball.

[derflotr]

Bush is a little erratic early on, hopefully he can find a mid-inning groove after the K on Ryan.

[TheCrew07]

McGehee is an awful defender.

 

He made a fantastic play in the 1st inning.

I don't know about fantastic. He made a nice stop and got the runner, but the throw was very weak. He's just not agile enough to get off the ground and make a strong throw. It all worked out, but Escobar made a similar play on the line drive and still managed to get off a strong throw. Casey is what he is, solid yet unspectacular. He did make the play and that's all that really matters in the end.

[trwi7]

McGehee is an awful defender.

 

He made a fantastic play in the 1st inning.

And overall as a defender he's awful.

An easy one. Had it in his glove, dropped it and had to go to 1st.

[PeaveyFury]

To 2nd.....

 

Apples to oranges?

[OldSchoolSnapper]

How many CFers make the catch Gomez did for that second out? There are a lot who don't get there. Nice to have that speed there. This could be much worse than 1-0 right now.

[trwi7]

I would love to face some of Dave Bush's curveballs. Just to see how bad I would look swinging at them.

Come on dude, he got his feet under him and put something on the throw. Casey just isn't agile enough to be able to do the same thing. It doesn't matter if he was going to 2nd or 1st, I'm talking about the ability to pop off the ground in proper body position to make a good throw.

[stoutdude04]

Zaun killed that ball.

[tigerbrew]

Great job Rickie!

Escobar had all the time in the world to set himself and make the throw, as the runner was 2/3rds of the way to third. Casey had to hurry to get the runner, which is the inherent problem of the position. That's not even CLOSE to apples to apples. Come on yourself.

[Ennder]

And overall as a defender he's awful.

In your opinion, which i disagree with. He might only be average or even a little below average but he isn't awful by any stretch. Edited April 9, 2010 by Ennder

[tigerbrew]

Very nice job by Bush so far, keep it up.

[trwi7]

At least he's consistent, but this strike zone is tiny.

[WisconsinSportsRule]

Come on Alcides.

[tigerbrew]

Oh so close to a 3 run homer by Zaun, unlucky.

 

Well Done Elcides! 2 run double, Brewers lead.

 

[endaround]

Why was Zaun held with Bush coming up?

[ELCABALLO45]

Escobar is clutch
