2012-05-21 Giants (Bumgarner) at Brewers (Wolf), 7:10 PM CDT (Hart starts at 1B) [Brewers lose, 4-3 in 14 innings]

[TURBO]

They shouldn't play any song that announces "I'm high as a kite" in my opinion...

 

T-Rats play that song this year too... It annoys me.

[Bombers]

I think Corey's mind was a little pre-occupied with his first start at first. I hope he gets his mind at ease soon, becuase we could sure use him there.

[adambr2]

Half-expecting Braun to get drilled if he comes up with nobody on.

[adambr2]

I've only been watching the last couple innings, but they have yet to go to commercial since the 8th. Just highlights and commentators between innings. What's that about?

 

"Technical difficulties" is what they've been saying. It's been commercial-free all night.

I was wondering the same thing ... what gives FSN? Making too much money don't need the commercials anymore?

[rluzinski]

Im always amazed how quickly baseball fans turn on above average players. Its like personal.

 

Wait, are you saying Izturis is an above average player?

Um, no My comment was just way late. Wolf and Weeks specifically, any player that struggles for a couple months in general. That's doubly true if it's the first 2 months.

 

"Gomez hitting there against Romo is inexcusable with Morgan, Ishikawa, and Green all on the bench. Need a LHH there."

 

Yes, that was a terrible move. RR is usually good about not saving guys in extra innings so I have no idea what that was all about. Of course, RR has always had a soft spot for Gomez so...

Pulling Braun in a tie game in extras? Really?

 

EDIT: Unless it's health-related....

Crap, why is Braun out?

[endaround]

Did Braun pull something?

[dlk9s]

I know Aoki has been quite good for us so far, but I have no idea how he can hit the way he totally falls away towards first base.

[Dollarbill13]

We now have the greatest outfield defense in the majors.

[rluzinski]

Wow, an outfield of Gomez, Morgan and Aoki. My goodness.

[ninja33]

Crap, why is Braun out?

 

he has to have tweaked something. They didn't double switch, and even if they had Aoki would have made perfect sense (although moving the pitcher spot from 9 to 2 or 3 doesn't really change much). Hopefully its just a cramp.

And you don't even DS out Veras.....

Looks to be that way.

[PrinceEatMeat]

It's the achilles again. Crap. Should've just rested him to let it heal after it first happened.

[AZBrewCrew]

He came off first limping...Achilles again perhaps?

[ninja33]

And you don't even DS out Veras.....

 

careful what you wish for. he probably would have brought in Dillard.

[FullMetalCardigan]

Looked to be the case. I'm no Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman, but I wouldn't be shocked to see him sit a game or two.

[endaround]

Dillard has arguably out pitched Veras.

 

Dillard's tERA is 4.07, Veras's is 5.51. They basically have the same xFIP. I guess what I am saying is I have no clue why Veras keeps getting high leverage innings and pitching all the time.

[Dollarbill13]

Tightness in the groin

[AZBrewCrew]

Braun out with groin tightness

[Dean Machine]

groin tightness

[adambr2]

Wow....ARam got a gift there.

fair enough. I guess if all things are equal you try to get two innings out of a guy in case this thing drags on. And Veras looked solid in his first inning.
