2011-05-16 Brewers (Marcum) at Dodgers (Garland) - [Brewers win, 2-1]

Surprised Yuni swung at the 1st pitch there...

[Oldcity]

I love watching Marcum.

 

I hate watching Yuni.

[Oxy]

Gorgeous pitch from Marcum there. Thank you for not bunting Mattingly.

Totally. With nobody out and crappy hitters coming up I think they needed to try and manufacture a run there (like on the woulda been close play fly out to Braun). I'll take it.

[GamelToe]

Polar opposites in Lucroy and Betancourt there.

 

(btw, are you guys mentally prepared for Axford?)

[bucksman4]

I love watching Marcum.

 

I hate watching Yuni.

The latter won't be on the team next year, don't worry. Hopefully at the trade deadline, we'll get his replacement for the remainder of the season. The Yuni at SS experiment has proven to be a failure, not that anyone is surprised.

[dlk9s]

I'm not watching, but was Yuni's swing a lunging, looping swing? Seems like everyone of his are like that.

[bucksman4]

Would be really, really nice to get an insurance run or two here. Come on, Rickie.

[Oxy]

Kotsay doing what Kotsay does best...pinch hitting. Or pinch walking.

[Oldcity]

I also thought it was amazing when they showed he has one hit to right field this year.

 

Let's get some insurance runs here please...

[dlk9s]

I'll hand it to Kotsay, he's been able to draw walks this season.

[BuckyBrewer61]

It'd be interesting to see what percentage of bunt attempts Gomez has actually put in play this year...

[danzig6767]

Yuni is hard to watch.

I've honestly never seen a hitter with a worse approach at the plate than Yuni.

 

The pathetic thing is the guy actually has a decently swing and some pop for a shortstop, but he simply refuses to make pitchers throw him pitches he can drive or hit hard.

RR went to the charts to check the matchup. Has anyone seen anyone just keep those things on an iPad or similar device? Would that even be allowed?

[PrinceEatMeat]

How many times does Gomez have to fail in a key situation before Roenicke takes him out of the 2 spot?

[theavrock]

Ummm I can't make any excuses for you on that one GoGo. That was pathetic.

[rluzinski]

I'm so sick of RR.

[dlk9s]

OT: Jamey Wright finished the game for Seattle tonight. Jamey Wright?

[bucksman4]

Oh. My. God. Gomez.

 

That right there solidified his move out of the #2 spot. If RR puts him there tomorrow, he's dumb.

 

Reason #193 why I hate Gomez.

[TonyGwynnJr22]

Atleast Cargo only has 8 LOB tonight...

HE SAW SOMETHING IN SPRING TRAINING!

Just ask him. It was for almost a whole month. (I'm not making this up).

I don't see why it wouldn't be allowed. Well, I guess I could see why not: MLB is afraid of technology.

[endaround]

Good job of Weeks hustling down the line to clear the #2 hitter so he didn't lead off next inning

[theavrock]

Why oh why is Loe pitching??

 

Hawkins was ready to go.

Almost all of that is in software packages and has been for a while. just some don't like using them and rather have charts

Because RR has an unhealthy obsession/man crush on him. That's the only thing I keep thinking to myself...
