2012-06-14 Brewers (Marcum) at Royals (Hochevar), 7:10 PM CDT [Brewers lose, 4-3]

[Glennron]

I say this all the time, but the dropped third strike rule is the dumbest rule in baseball. Who came up with it? What was the reasoning behind it? What's the point in rewarding hitters who swung at pitches that weren't close?

[AZBrewCrew]

Cmon Ax, one more out.

That is a good point and i would be interested to hear the thought process behind it as well

[AZBrewCrew]

Ugh.

[Yeti73]

I can't believe I am even watching this...

 

If Luc or George are catching, the score is tied on a BB, bobble, WP, WP

[cnycerveceros]

If they don't get this out, I'm not watching again.

 

Until tomorrow.

I've thought this as well. It comes to mind every time I see it. It's so stupid. There shouldn't be any reward for swinging at a pitch in the dirt.

[PrinceEatMeat]

Let's see. Single ties it, gapper wins it. Not good.

You gotta be kidding me!!!!! Swept by the Royals.

[cnycerveceros]

If you need me, I'll be swearing about the Brewers on Twitter.

[topper09er]

O my god this team is a joke

[burnzy24]

That was even more pathetic than last night.

[pebadger]

That beats the Ryan Braun Little League Triple by a factor of `12.

[Yeti73]

Wow, put that in there as one of the worst.

[Matt Breen]

Wow

[PrinceEatMeat]

Well, I'm not watching the next couple days. I can't handle this anymore.

[BradWI]

Hey Doug & Mark: We still "going for it"?

[Glennron]

What's the opposite of a team of destiny?

[markedman5]

RRR press conference should be good........We just invent new ways to lose games

[trwi7]

Okay, that was funny.

[Matt Breen]

Terrible defense. Walked batters. Man, this is painful.

[valpocrewsader]

Weeks, youre terrible at everything. Nice throw.

[AZBrewCrew]

Is it bad that im sitting here laughing hysterically right now? I think i need to bench myself from watching for a few days.

[pretendastronaut]

Baseball is the devil's game.
