2011-10-04 Brewers (Marcum) at Diamondbacks (Collmenter) - [Brewers lose, 8-1; lead NLDS, 2-1]

[trwi7]

The outfields in the West aren't that big. Arizona and Colorado have big outfields because normal size outfields would regularly lead to 10-9 games. Dodger Stadium is 375 to the gaps and 400 to center. Petco is like 370 to the left center gap, 396 to center and 387 to right center. AT&T is deep in the right field gap at 421 but shallow to right at 309, only 368 to left center and 396 in center.

For everyone's enjoyment. In the postgame presser Sir Albert and Berkman complained about the shadows at Busch this afternoon. Albert said, maybe if they were the Yankees they would get a night game. Seriously.

Haha are you serious?

Does Joe West have a vendetta against every team or just the Brewers? I swear that guy comes up every time he is behind the plate.

 

What a tiny zone.

was it the same Albert that went 4-5 today with 3 doubles? and the same STL team that had 12 hits?

[dlk9s]

Albert should probably sign with the Yankees, then.

[Oldcity]

This is hard to watch.

[Daubs]

Haha are you serious?

Here's the exact quote:

 

"It's tough but we can't do anything about it," said first baseman Albert Pujols, who went 4-for-5 with three doubles. "We've been talking all year long and there's nothing you can do about it. Maybe if we were the New York Yankees maybe we would have played an 8 o'clock game today.

 

"I just don't understand why we're playing a 4 o'clock game when the league knows that we have tough shadows out there. But there's nothing you can do. They are making their money and I guess they put the game time however they wanted to."

[ELCABALLO45]

Hahahahahahahaha! Dude has 3 doubles and still finds a way to complain after a loss. You stay classy, Pujols.

"We can't do anything about it. We've been talking all year long, there is nothing we can do about it. Maybe if we were the New York Yankees maybe we would have played an 8:00 game today. It is what it is. I just don't understand when we play a 4:00 game the league knows we have tough shadows out there, but there's nothing you can do. They're making their money, their paying their money. I guess they put the game time however they want it."

Marcum not trusting his stuff...trying to make perfect pitches. He can't pitch behind in the count all night like he is.

[Oldcity]

Marcum falling into the laboring between pitches again.

[mastershake76]

oh man. Marcum doesn't seem real sharp so far.

[jason21nl]

Marcum is getting visibly frustrated

[Raw Biz]

oh man. Marcum doesn't seem real sharp so far.

Probably because the strike zone is terrible.

[MillerBombers]

Why is Yuni in the mound meeting? Does he even understand what is being said? Just asking.

[Oldcity]

Don't know what these announcers are saying. That was clearly low.

[jason21nl]

the pitchers literally have to throw it in a shoe box right now

[Oldcity]

Marcum needs to stop acting like Randy Wolf and pitch. Those pitches he's complaining about are balls.

the ball 4 was low, the next pitch was a pretty damn good pitch

[Oldcity]

Come on... Ground ball

[MillerBombers]

Cool we are letting Montero beat us, a flipping garbage player like that.

[owbc]

This must be how Arizona fans felt yesterday. You just have that sick feeling that things are about to get out of control.

[markedman5]

friggin walks......when did he become suppan? Same crap as his last 2 starts.

[Oldcity]

Cool we are letting Montero beat us, a flipping garbage player like that.

Montero's pretty good.

[dlk9s]

Thanks again, stupid D-backs. And awesome, MVP-like charge into the catcher by Upton.
