2011-05-18 Brewers (Gallardo) at Padres (Moseley) - [Brewers win, 5-2]

[Raw Biz]

I'm all for cancer research but I think they could have come up with a better name/slogan than "stand up 2 cancer." I don't know, it just sounds dumb, like cancer is some kind of bully that's picking on everyone. In a way it kind of is but I still think it's a weird name.

[trwi7]

Contact play.

[Raw Biz]

You have got to be kidding me. How does Braun not score on that?

[brwrsfan]

You gotta be kidding me on that. Braun gets no secondary lead, the infield is back and he STILL gets thrown out. Come on Brewers. Pull your head out of your....terrible, terrible baseball again. I can't believe he even threw home, a bad throw at that and he's still out.

[theavrock]

He looked safe on the replay. Ball beat him, but the glove didn't get down in time.

[owbc]

Braun ran at about 90% on that play--I don't think he was expecting a throw.

[brains and braun]

More crap. Braun on third with Fielder up and no outs...and we somehow manage to not get the run. Unbelievable. Bring me RRR's head.

[ilovebeer]

That was so stupid Braun.

[COBrewerfan]

That is a horrible play by the second baseman that is turned into a good play because of the poor secondary and Braun not thinking it was coming home. Wow!

[trwi7]

Don't think Moseley realized how much time he really had with McGehee running.

[ttsather]

Yeah, Braun was safe - he blew through the plate block.

[COBrewerfan]

More crap. Braun on third with Fielder up and no outs...and we somehow manage to not get the run. Unbelievable. Bring me RRR's head.

What did RRR do? Not run hard or not get a big enough secondary lead?

 

 

[chickinbrickin]

This is awesome! Now we get to depend on Kotsay and Yuni up to drive in some runs for us....

 

 

EDIT: Nice, my anti jinx worked.

[Polish Falcons]

Good thing Kotsay started somebody actually drove in a run.

 

Brewers fans are really loud at Petco.

[theavrock]

Yeah, Braun was safe - he blew through the plate block.

That's what I saw too.

[ilovebeer]

nice job Kotsey.

[dlk9s]

Braun was totally safe. I hate that umps seems to have their own rules, one of which is "if the ball beats the runner, he's out."

[danzig6767]

Yeah, Braun was safe - he blew through the plate block.

That's what I saw too.

It's a huge peeve of mine that so many umps call a guy out simply because the throw beats the runner even if the foot gets to the base or plate before the tag.

Kotsay is a professional hitter. He is the exact opposite baseball player from Carlos Gomez.

[OldSchoolSnapper]

Gomez catches that. He also doesn't get the RBI single.

[Raw Biz]

Wow, Gomez easily catches that ball. Boggs too. Sure Kotsay got us a run but his defense is still awful.

Edit: And his defense also costs us a run. So I guess it's a wash now.

[Tailgat0r76]

Kotsay is a professional hitter. He is the exact opposite baseball player from Carlos Gomez.

Gomez is a professional outfielder. He is the exact opposite baseball player from Mark Kotsay

[chickinbrickin]

He plays a great CF.... Gomez would have got to that running backwards.

[Mr QL]

Roenicke'd

[theavrock]

So Kotsay got us a run on the RBI and lost us one on that garbage play in CF.
