2012-05-06 Brewers (Marcum) at Giants (Cain), 3:05 PM CDT [Brewers lose, 4-3, 11 innings]

[GormanHarvey]

It was just my way of getting them to score again . Nice to see Rick hit a ball hard that wasn't right to somebody.

Why do announcers say "not sure where that missed" when it it pretty clear where the pitch missed?

 

It missed outside, Rock. It was really, really, really close, but you know exactly where it missed.

Corey, come on. Don't complain to the ump because you can't protect with two strikes. Be a better hitter.

[dlk9s]

Hi. I'm an ump. I think that if the pitcher hits his target then it's an auto-strike.

it looked like a strike to me. either way it was closer than the next pitch that corey got called out on.

He complained to the ump because it was a ball.

Awesome. Was just saying this.

Another announcer pet peeve of mine:

 

Even if a ball is clearly off the plate or down in the zone, Schroeder often says that it "got too much of the plate" or "he left it up in the zone". Don't these guys watch replay? Why doesn't he just say something like "Greinke kept the ball down but Yuniesky Betancourt was still able to pull that fly ball to shallow left"

[GormanHarvey]

Great bunt!

[jason21nl]

Is Marcum mad at himself? Or mad at the fact that he was pulled?

[Oldcity]

Let's go George...

[Oldcity]

Wow, a mile behind that

[GormanHarvey]

Time for Plush to step up

[Oldcity]

Not a strike!

[Raw Biz]

All these looking strikes are really starting to piss me off. At least make an attempt.

[yfinn6]

Pretty close. Good pitch - could have gone either way.

[jason21nl]

Cain is tough enough, but when you're giving him an inch or two off the plate he is going to K a lot of guys. Like today.

[mtrebs]

This team is in serious trouble.

[sdcheezhd]

Not a strike!

 

Which one, strike 2 or strike 3?

[ninja33]

times like this i really wish pitch f/x was still allowed to post data during the game.

 

i mean, if nyjer morgan is laying off of it it can't be that close.

[ninja33]

at least veras is getting that bonus few inches on the outside corner as well

[Oldcity]

Not a strike!

 

Which one, strike 2 or strike 3?

I was talking about strike 2, but 3 was almost as bad.

[Oldcity]

Veras and KROD are so frustrating to watch. Constantly falling behind.

[owbc]

Weeks is trying way too hard. That slider for strike 2 was about a foot away from his bat.

[GormanHarvey]

Wow on strike 2 to Braun ump
