2010-05-05 Brewers (Davis) at Dodgers (Billingsley), 9:10 PM CDT [Brewers win, 11-3]

[stalton]

I know I'm in awe. Before the game I was trying to figure out if we were going to score 0 runs or double digit runs. I had put my money on 0. It looks like we are on our way to a double digit game tonight.

 

Hawing, I think you just gave me a new word to add to my vocabulary...outcrap, Thanks

[cnycerveceros]

Now, Doug, tonight is not a race to see which starting pitcher can outcrap the other. Don't let the Dodgers back in.

Raise your hand if you were also thinking this.

[SoCalBrewfan]

If you told me that on May 1, Gomez and Escobar would both have outslugged Fielder thus far, I'd be thinking we were either really, really good or really, really bad. Turns out we are both all at once?

[Schlitz001]

I feel like Braun might have been able to make a play on that ball.

[endaround]

Braun is bad in the field

He only gave half of the lead back in the first inning, it is a start. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

Good job Doug. Give half those runs back.

 

We'll probably need at least 7 runs to win this game.

[cnycerveceros]

It is hard to watch DD pitch.

I feel like Braun might have been able to make a play on that ball.

It looked to me that if he was going to make a play on it he might have to dive, and if it got by him that would have been two runs, instead of one. Would seem like an alright play after scoring four in the first.

It is hard to watch DD pitch.

It is hard to even follow DD pitch on MLB gameday. All you see is "In play, no out"

Obviously DD didn't do a fantastic job in the 1st, but man, it sure seems like he can't buy any luck. Two of those hits were on pretty nice low pitches that the hitters had to reach for. A couple were down the middle, though. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

If that's the case then it's the right play. From the Dodgers video feed it looked like he broke late and pulled up early. In other words it looked like had he timed it better and hussled, he might have made a shoestring catch.

One of the outs was a 370 foot rocket. It tends to even out.

[endaround]

Braun could have had it if he kept going forward. No dive needed.

 

The single up the middle made me think, have the Brewers become so in love with Escobar's range that they no longer shift much?

[ilovebeer]

now watch they don't score anymore.

[valpocrewsader]

Am I correct that the last four half innings have all ended on a grounder to the pitcher??

Bottom of the first and bottom of the second are the only half innings so far that ended on a different play.

[ilovebeer]

Davis is looking better now.

[davemakovec]

Gameday tells me that Escobar has zero stolen bases, and zero caught stealing. Odd.

[ilovebeer]

Question, I thought Escarbar was fast.

[dlk9s]

Question, I thought Escarbar was fast.

Rickey Henderson was fast, too, and sometimes he got caught stealing.

[trwi7]

So yeah, maybe there should be some communication going on there.

[endaround]

Davis has some of the worst luck

[ilovebeer]

The reason i said that is he has no stolen bases this season.

[valpocrewsader]

Can't wait for the day I no longer have to watch Rickie Weeks play defense for the Brewers....
