2011-04-18 Brewers at Phillies - [Brewers win, 6-3, 12 innings; Marcum and Kintzler post-game audio at tail end of thread]

Fielder is a crappy fielder

Our whole infield defense is crap

 

Wow, we needed that break big time

[ELCABALLO45]

Wow unreal play by Yuni right there... Wow what a break.

[umphrey]

BA just said the Brewers have been one of the best defensive teams...

It's really annoying how some people think lack of errors is all it takes to be good at defense

[jason21nl]

That was an incredible play

[Hammer]

Please, please, please...can we PLEASE trade Fielder already? I cringe every time he has the ball in his hand. His hitting doesn't make up for all of these errors and unmade plays. Plus, he has a temper that runs even hotter than T.Plush (Go ask Manny Parra)! Get that jerk off of my team already!

[cheesecup22]

He would have easily had him with a good throw.. and that wasnt exactly a difficult one.. I hate how we waste good starts like that, Its so frustrating watching the bottom of the order (plus gomez)

 

Pretty cool DP

[pebadger]

I'm starting to have a deep distrust of this team already. Why do I have the feeling hey'll take that lucky break and manufacture exactlty nothing out of it.

[Funketown]

Well Yuni, that was a great play. Please make me eat my words for the rest of the season!

Someday you would think after complaining about the error on McGehee for 10 minutes they might acknowledge errors really aren't a good way to measure defense.

[valpocrewsader]

Prince, how are you so incredibly awful at throwing the ball? You played baseball your entire life! My god, you're worse than most amateurs at a basic baseball skill. Just bad.

[dlk9s]

lol at criticizing Fielder for that play. He was trying to preserve a lead late in the game. He obviously knew he would have to make a really quick, perfect throw to get the guy at home, but I don't fault his decision to not go for the sure out at 1st. If there was a runner on 2nd advancing to 3rd, it would be a different story, but as it was, I don't mind it at all.

 

It wasn't some run-of-the-mill throw to home. He had to get it out of his glove and to home plate really fast. Most players would have reduced accuracy there.

[trwi7]

"If that ball drops, he's only going to get one out."

 

Think about that again, Brian. If that ball drops he doesn't get any outs.

[PrinceEatMeat]

This just in...Braun is still amazing.

[hurricanecrush]

That might have been a triple play if there had been nobody out. Couldn't tell for sure if the runner from first held up.

[ninja33]

What are they saving Stetter and Braddock for? To come in to face Howard once the lead is gone?

They're probably saving Braddock for the 8th. If you bring in Stetter to face Gload, the Phillies put in a righty like Mayberry, and then you have Stetter against a RHB, which is never fun. A lefty also puts Victorino on the right side where he's a LOT better. And Polanco is a RHB. The bullpen did fine there, they caught bad breaks with the error and gload's ground ball finding $#%%%!. And they got the break back with that DP.

[brettac1]

Yeah, Stetter should pretty much not pitch in high-leverage spots.

[mtrebs]

Another win taken away from a good starting pitching performance. It's too bad that rarely do we have good pitching, offense, and defense.

[dlk9s]

Nice. It's about time we get one through a shift.

[umphrey]

Have to get a lead here so you can send out Axe next inning

[Menotti80]

Need to somehow get both in here

[Oldcity]

You do that on the first pitch McGehee.

[Hammer]

2nd and 3rd w/ nobody out...if they don't score here I'm done w/ this team for a few days. It's just not worth watching.

[cheesecup22]

Welp, casey was our only hope.. now we screwed

[trwi7]

Here come the sliders to strikeout Betancourt.

[dlk9s]

I want a squeeze.
