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

I wish every fastball Yo threw over the plate wasn't belt high.

 

I smell Yo's melt down inning. Please prove me wrong Yovani.

I'm glad Kotsay got that hit, otherwise it seems some of you would be headed to his house with pitchforks and torches.

It's not his fault Roenicke is playing him in CF so I'd be headed to RRR's place.

You could try resetting the box, takes a few minutes but it might bring it back up. If not, you'll have to call them.

The reset did it. Thanks for the advice.

Yep, want to car pool?

[Mr QL]

aggressive baserunning woooooo

[owbc]

A CS with 2 outs and Braun showing bunt. That's not going to help Ron's cause tonight...

[UeckerAddict]

Corey was safe. Well, at least we get a fresh inning with the heart of the order.

[Polish Falcons]

Hart looked safe to me on that SB, pretty sure of it. I thought Braun was safe at home too. Getting squeezed by the ump.

That fake bunt was only to protect the runner

[brewmann04]

One question why would you try to steal with Braun at the Plate. Overaggressive baseball sometimes comes back to bite you in the butt.

Because Ryan Braun does not hit a HR every single AB.

Braun has twice as many singles as homeruns this year and with the Brewers struggling to score runs, I can see why they are trying to get a guy to second base. Not to mention they were 2 for 2 tonight in attempts.

[topper09er]

Can someone please show Gomez that when you bunt you DONT move your feet at the same time.

[UeckerAddict]

I don'[t have a problem with the steal attempt. Everyone has been stealing on the Padres, it looked like Corey was safe, a hit then scores a run, it' s tough to hit homers in Petco, Braun only has four doubles this year, and even if he's out it guarantees that Braun and Prince will start off a fresh inning. Really no problem here.

[brewmann04]

I would take my chances at him at the plate then Hart stealing.

[hawing]

My wife calls him "Yusuckskie Badatsports".

That's outstanding. It's on a par with the adjective we cooked up in the chat last month: Yunieskiesque. I enjoy saying that and typing it.

Mrs. ttsather would clearly do just fine around Brewerfan. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

I would have at least liked to see a hit and run. It hurts to end an inning with Braun at the plate. He might have twice as many HR as singles, but if you only have a 50% chance of stealing the base, it's a wash.

[UeckerAddict]

50%? The Crew was over 80% with 12 consecutive successful steals. The Padres announcers have been talking about how they have been unable to throw anyone out. Plus, he WAS safe. I don't think anyone thought the odds were 50%. No one has argued about our steal choices over the last few weeks......because we haven't been caught. But eventually you do. I really think people are looking for things to hate on right now rather than letting that hate happen organically.

[stoutdude04]

What happened with the Kotsay play in center that cost us a run? I missed it. Just a ball he couldnt get to, then the homer?

[owbc]

In 2010, Corey Hart had 7 stolen bases and was caught 6 times. So 50% isn't that unreasonable, although if you consider the game situation maybe he had a 2/3 chance of stealing the base.

 

But my point is that the Brewers shouldn't be stealing with Braun at the plate. That's a valid criticism.

[ttsather]

Says plenty about our SS when Rock notes that because Casey walked, they're "forced" to pitch to Kotsay.

 

EDIT: Hahaha, and now an IBB.

Yep. It was a play GoGo makes pretty easily.

[bucksman4]

Have a day, Kotsay. Who was that bum you replaced in CF?
