2011-06-28 Brewers (Greinke) at Yankees (Garcia) - [Brewers lose, 12-2]

[Raw Biz]

Why the hell didn't McGehee dive for the bag or throw with the catcher running? Maybe this is a blessing in disguise and Green can get called up.

[endaround]

He didn't misjudge the ball, he went to cut and the turf came up

 

McGehee for the 2nd time this season doesn't go for the throw

[burnzy24]

It didn't look like a misjudge to me. He just fell over.

He fell over because he misjudged it so bad. He tried to stop suddenly and change his course and he slipped.

[pebadger]

Meet the new boss, same as the old. This team is a road implosion.

 

If they don't take this golden opportunity to get Casey out of the lineup, they're nuts.

[theavrock]

idiot. It is freaking Posada running down the line. I dont want to see any more of that guy on the field. Bring up Green and be done with it. Ugh!

[owbc]

Yet another game where Greinke's start is doomed by the defense.

[endaround]

Good thing they went with 11 pitchers vs the Yankees!

[TheCrew07]

Geez what horrible defense to start the game. McGehee pulls a Prince going for the unecessary tag and Morgan looking more like what I would expect out of Kotsay in CF.

[topper09er]

If McGehee was somehow injured on that play then we already won this game.

[pebadger]

Yay! Corey didn't fall down.

[Hofbraunhaus]

Well, we are only down by 2 but it feels like we are down by a lot more.

[Raw Biz]

It didn't look like a misjudge to me. He just fell over.

He fell over because he misjudged it so bad. He tried to stop suddenly and change his course and he slipped.

Yeah that was my take on it. He ran so far back and then had to change directions suddenly and then slipped.

[bucksman4]

Thank God he turned down that contract extension this off season. Something tells me he's regretting that decision now.

[umphrey]

Was anyone even remotely concerned about McGehee missing playing time after that at bat and horrible fielding decision?

[ramssuperbowl99]

McGehee seems like a guy who takes this seriously based on his reactions to bad plays and when he looked so relieved breaking his 0-27 slump earlier. RRR is doing him no favors playing him every day or batting him 5th. I'm all for McGehee and I like him, but Taylor Green needs to come up if only to take some of the pressure off.

[dlk9s]

That bottom of the first was pretty much the definition of "unlucky" for a pitcher.

[pebadger]

It didn't look like a misjudge to me. He just fell over.

Agreed. That was a classic case of contributing to your own bad luck. If it was a comparative negligence case the jury comes back at best 50/50 and Plush walks away with no recovery.

 

Nice to give Greinke a breather after his million pitch first.

 

 

[chuckcrim]

Nice patience boys.

[dlk9s]

On the bright side, we saw how well we've done recently with 2-0 first inning leads...

[valpocrewsader]

*drools* at the gamel batt speed displayed right there.

[theavrock]

amazing that ZG only had 26 pitches since he had to basically get 6 outs in the first inning

[Raw Biz]

I like McGehee too but yeah he really shouldn't be playing everyday or hitting 5th. I like his "everyman" persona but sometimes hard work can only carry you so far when you don't have as much talent. Who knows, maybe he is just putting too much pressure on himself. I don't see how having Green come up wouldn't be anything but a plus.

[endaround]

In Rock's universe Loe has been very good, I wish I lived there

[owbc]

It seems like Gomez and Morgan both sprint back on most fly balls because they play so shallow. Morgan did not misjudge it, he stopped in the right place and just fell taking what should have been 2 easy steps to the ball. I watched the replay 5 more times and I still think Morgan didn't do anything wrong, he would have caught it easily if he didn't fall over.

[chuckcrim]

These guys are playing like it's another off day. Wake up.
