2012-04-17 Dodgers (Billingsley) at Brewers (Gallardo), 7:10 PM CDT [Brewers win, 5-4]

[Schlitz001]

Kemp seems to always have some fielding blunders when he plays the Brewers.

[ttsather]

Kemp looked like he had a bad second step. Then sorta gave up. I think he still could've caught it. But, if he dives and misses then Gamel scores for sure, and now there's a decent chance to get out of it.

[jjkoestler]

Mat Gamel continues to impress. Solid D, smart on the bases, and hitting well.

[jjkoestler]

RR... You crafty so and so.

[Raw Biz]

Wow, that could have been disastrous.

[brettac1]

I didn't know if that bunt would have the distance.

[FVBrewerFan]

Gotta admit, the squeeze is growing on me.

[brettac1]

Kemp. Dang.

[rluzinski]

I guess RR is convinced 1 run is enough here. Hope he is right. Me? I don't get all excited about suicide squeezes. I see how they are entertaining but they really have questionable value. Of course, that's why most managers aren't obsessed with them like RR.

[jjkoestler]

Wow. Matt Kemp is good at playing baseball.

[pebadger]

Aoki's back foot ended up in the opposite batter's box on that bunt.

[logan82]

Gotta admit, the squeeze is growing on me.

Like a fungus.

[ELCABALLO45]

Love the squeeze. Starting to like it as well.

 

Lets go K-Rod.

[ttsather]

I still strongly dislike the squeeze, but if anyone's going to try it, I don't know that anyone makes me feel more comfortable than Aoki.

 

(Don't even know why, given how little we've seen of him.)

[Schlitz001]

If you're the opposition, you have to know that RR is absolutely in love with the squeeze.

[FVBrewerFan]

I like it in this situation. This team's whole formula of success is built on bringing a lead into the 8th. If KRod/Ax fail, sobeit.

[rluzinski]

So much for playing for 1 run

[Mr QL]

such a genius move offering arbitration to K-Rod

 

thanks Melvin

[Wiscollector]

what the heck K-rod. What happened to the bullpen, so far it looks horrible.

[Jaycruiser99]

K-Rod has become HR-od.... dang it!

[GamelToe]

Talk about an overreaction to one pitch...

[razzzorsharp]

Morgan hasn't looked great.

[FVBrewerFan]

A great hitter hit a HR. KRod struck out the best hitter in MLB right before him. Welcome to MLB.

[pebadger]

Yup. If he'd given up a HR to somebody like Izturis I'd be worried.

I wasn't a fan of acquiring him last year and I certainly didn't want him back this season. Has nothing to do with 1 pitch. The guy is has been pitching on fumes for a long time now, he's spent.
