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

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

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.

I don't know if it's the same on other boards, but there's a lot of "bad play = lazy" and "slow = lazy" on BF.net.

[jason21nl]

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

I've never seen any indication of either.

Then I don't know what to tell you.

[theavrock]

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

 

 

Can he play short?

He has played there 138 games and 2nd 582 and its the position he has played more than any other than 2nd. He has actually played more there than CF so I think he could definitely be there.

[natronek8780]

TGJ having a night... didn't expect that, I'm sure Zack didn't either.

[Mr QL]

Gwynn crush? Come on now

[a3uge]

You've got to be kidding me. Tony Gwyn Jr freaking home run.

Yeah I don't think it's fair to call a guy lazy just because he doesn't get to certain balls. I actually take offense to that. Just because the guy isn't that gifted athletically doesn't make him lazy. There's no evidence that he isn't trying. A guy like Lopez I could understand but not Yuni. That being said, yes Yuni is pretty bad.

[jjfanec]

Unbelievable. So I only can watch on Gameday and I flipped to doing some work on the computer because I thought well I know Gwynn wont hit a home run. Oops

[theavrock]

Now that we have a lead did anyone hear whether or not Krod is available tonight?

Lopez is lazy. He doesn't run out hits and gives up running to groundballs sometimes. That's lazy. I haven't seen any laziness from Yuni. His range sucks, but he seems to be a team player and at least tries to make plays.

[Glennron]

If giving up a homer to TGJ isn't a sign of fatigue, I don't know what is. Glad he got Blake because I feel like he could've been pulled there. Ah well.

[owbc]

I guess we will have to agree to disagree about Yuni.

 

Gwynn now has a home run for every 220 PA in his career. To compare, Counsell has a HR for every 132 PA.

[markedman5]

God forbid we have a 2 run lead for more then a half inning....lol

 

Nice job by Greinke again tonight....I assume he is done and they will go with KROD and Ax

[markedman5]

KROD said he was good to go before the game

[theavrock]

On another note Grienke's ERA now at 3.92

fair enough....it will just go around in circles.

 

Insurance runs would be nice here

[Big Ern2440]

Hawkins warming up - no K Rod

[RobDeer 45]

Looked like casey tried to draw a throw

[Bernman23]

Hawkins should get the nod as the 8th inning guy if K-Rod is not available. He does have 18 holds and zero blown leads on the season. Saito has been pretty good overall himself, but he's a far worse 7 and 2 in the same situations.

[theavrock]

Ugh and they just said that Krod needs another day. Man what is up with that...

[a3uge]

Would love to see Lopez bunt here.

[markedman5]

Hawk warming instwad of KROD......He did say he was ready to go but I guess RR wants to give him another day.

[The Truth]

Can he play short?

Only twice as well as Yuni B. Which still makes him an average MLB SS. But hey its an improvement!

[adambr2]

With K-Rod not available we are basically running with a 4 man bullpen. Axford, Saito, Hawkins, and Loe. Dillard and De La Cruz are just here for show.

[bucks2281]

I'm pretty annoyed that RR allowed K-Rod to hit on Friday night. It was completely unnecessary and the chances of him getting dinged were too good.
