2012-07-02 Marlins (Zambrano) at Brewers (Greinke), 7:10 PM CDT [Brewers win, 6-5]

Aramis! whew. What a snag. I know he's no Brooks Robinson over there, but no way does Casey make that play.

[pebadger]

Whew. And we get to do it all over again with Ax next inning.

They've gotten more serious this year now that the Marlins are trying to be a real major league team. To their credit, they have done their homework on the Brewers and generally have nice things to say about Milwaukee and the team. Except for Nyjer Morgan. The best comment of the night was them saying that Gaby Sanchez decking Morgan was "one of the highlights of his career".

And then the announcers questioned why Stanton wasn't running on contact on the Ramirez/Izturis "double dive" play.

[Raw Biz]

ARam's played some pretty solid defense after the 1st. I know it was a tough hop but he probably should have made that play. That last play he made looked harder than the one in the 1st.

[RockCoCougars]

I have to give credit where credit is due. Ramirez is a MUCH better defensive 3B than I expected him to be. He has to be above average.

[jjgott]

K-rod owes Aramis at least a steak for that one.

I didn't say anything about them getting smarter

[RockCoCougars]

Now that is classic Weeks.

This^. Anyone that said Ramirez was going to be equal to or worse than McGehee defensively is off their rocker.

[Glennron]

Bunt bunt bunt bunt.

[owbc]

Forget bunting. And Roenicke finally gets Izturis out of the game!

[GormanHarvey]

Nice work Maldy

[Glennron]

Aoki seems to be the King of contact...might be interesting if the contact play is on.

[ecjimg]

Contact play comin up....with Aoki hittin it right at an infielder!

 

 

Edit: That was the first thought for a lot of us..

[jason21nl]

How many times are they going to pull that off?

[AZBrewCrew]

Aoki!!!!!

[GormanHarvey]

That was an awesome squeeze

[owbc]

Beautiful safety squeeze.

[jjgott]

Way too close for comfort. Glad Weeks is fast.

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

I guess you can go safety with Rickie's speed. He probably should have slid there.

 

Some impressive bunts tonight between Maldy & Aoki.

[AZBrewCrew]

Way too close for comfort. Glad Weeks is fast.

It almost looked like he barely got Rickie on that tag. Either way ill take it!

[Raw Biz]

It is shocking how much Roenicke loves the bunt. There's been at least 4-5 different players attempt a bunt tonight, not even including pitcher.

[Yeti73]

GoGo should just squeeze for the heck of it. Ozzie's head may explode

[Glennron]

I feel like I'm watching the College World Series again.

[dlk9s]

Gomez should swing harder.
