2011-08-17 Dodgers (Eovaldi) at Brewers (Greinke) - [Brewers win, 3-1]

[jwill535]

same pitch he has gotten everyone tonight. You think they would have moves over a bit knowing he is going to throw nothing but stuff on the outside.

[natronek8780]

Yuni is starting to lunge again. When he was going so well, he was really waiting back on the ball.

[DatHoser]

What a call Fondy! Do you guess lottery tickets, too? http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

[Glennron]

Hairston's going to walk for their first run.

[jjfanec]

Come on Hairston! Do it for all the Brewersfaners who have been calling for you to play a lot

[adambr2]

Red-hot Betancourt is gone. It was fun while it lasted.

[Menotti80]

Their approach at the plate is terrible

[jason21nl]

and people were starting to jump on the Yuni train. The guy is terrible, and still lazy as hell on D

[natronek8780]

I will say, this Eovaldi kid has pretty electric stuff. He might be a good one for the Dodgers to go with Kershaw and build their rotation around.

[Raw Biz]

Way to come through Hairston but why was McGehee going to 3rd on that? Trying to draw a throw?

[adambr2]

Way to pick 'em up Hairston!

[fondybrewfan]

Yay Jerry

 

But another stupid baserunning mistake. Why would McGehee decide to go to 3rd on that?

[theavrock]

That a boy JHJ!!! Way to come through. Hopefully he gets hot and can spell Yuni once Rickie comes back.

[tomwopat]

I swear that's the 50th time McGehee has gotten hung up between the bases.

[a3uge]

Good hit and great at bat but I'm absolutely SICK of terrible base running by the Brewers.

[chickinbrickin]

JHJ! Way to go.

 

Luc lets get some more here.

 

EDIT: Watching on yahoo.com gametracker. Didn't see Casey making that out. Damn

[jjfanec]

Nice job Hairston! Now keep rolling Zack dont give runs back here.

[owbc]

and people were starting to jump on the Yuni train. The guy is terrible, and still lazy as hell on D

Yes we were, and for good reason. He had a great month. He won several games with his contributions.

 

It doesn't have to be back vs. white, you like Betancourt or you hate him. He appears to be a nice guy who works hard. I've never seen any indication that he is lazy. Slow, yes, but not lazy.

[The Truth]

that hit by Hairston was huge because it not only knocked in 2 runs but

it'll help keep Felipe Lopez on the bench which is even more important

in the big picture

Can he play short?

[Schlitz001]

I think McGehee thought that the play was going to be at home. We are talking about Prince Fielder scoring from second.

[fondybrewfan]

Yuni's swing is off balance again. I think he needs a day off tomorrow.

The way his swing looks all of a sudden; a day off or 45 is more like it.

 

I was loving on Yuni quite a bit when he was going good; but it certainly seems like he has lost it again. It will be interesting to see what RR does because Hairston is more or less the everyday 2nd basemen now. I am guessing we'll see Wilson out there tomorrow with Kershaw pitching.

 

[jason21nl]

He gets very lazy on throws from time to time as well as getting in lazy fielding positions.

 

Thankfully JHJ picked the boys up

[crewcrazy]

Yay Jerry

 

But another stupid baserunning mistake. Why would McGehee decide to go to 3rd on that?

Trying to draw a throw to make sure Prince scores? Kemp cut the ball off in pretty shallow CF, so Fielder scoring was no guarantee.

[owbc]

I've never seen any indication of either.

 

I'm 100% in favor of benching Yuni if there is a better option, but ultimately Wilson isn't a full-time starter and is unlikely to do any better than Yuni.
