Some Masswhatever is yelling so loud you can hear him on the radio broadcast. He's doing a terrific moron impersonation.

Yeah. You can smell the Jaeger through the screen.

[topper09er]

Wrong BA, The Beaneaters were the Boston Braves, now in Atlanta.

[topper09er]

Pretty sneaky by Reynolds there, not a standard 3TO player move

[sdcheezhd]

2 out squeeze! Jeenyus!

[endaround]

I have not been watching but was that really a squeeze?

[topper09er]

No Gomez tried for a bunt hit

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

I haven't seen a shot of where the third basemen was playing. Looked to me like Go-Go was trying to catch them off guard and just bunted it too hard. Edited April 6, 2014 by Cool Hand Lucroy

Wasn't bad either considering they couldn't figure out bunt coverage earlier in the game. No harm in that at all in my opinion. Make the 3b make a play.

[fondybrewfan]

Gallardo has been fantastic so far this year. If he can keep this up I like the Brewers chances of competing for the division title

[topper09er]

Thats why you just throw it down the middle with a 3-0 lead

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

I could just be buying into the offseason hype, but it looks like Luc is doing a really nice job framing up the pitch on (or off) the very outside edge of the plate, particularly to right-handed hitters. Yo seems to have gotten a couple strikes that Lester hasn't.

Gomez just hit it too hard. Good idea though. Most 3B would panic in that situation and try to rush the throw.

[topper09er]

Gallardo topped his opening day gem, no walks today. Looking good

I'm trying to remember the last time Gomez bunted for a hit. It's not the strongest part of his game. But I'm listening and can't see where the 3d baseman is playing.

[Schlitz001]

That's a nice solid hit from Braun. It looks like he held on to the bat through the whole swing.

[topper09er]

Let go Ramirez, just a SF please

 

...or RBI single to right

I remember Gomez trying to bunt frequently, but I don't remember him being successful at it. He should work on it. With his speed, bunting could be a valuable addition to his arsenal.

[sdcheezhd]

Right I wasn't clear. He does it a lot, can't remember much success. He also has trouble in sac situations.

[Eye Black]

Don't want to jinx this one, but the Red Sox were never swept last season. It will be a nice early season accomplishment if the bullpen can hold on over the final 2 innings.

[vegasbrewcrew1993]

WTH Davis. Show a little patience dude. I hate when hitters are over-aggressive at the plate when the offense is in a good spot. 1st and 2nd with 1 out. The pressure is on the pitcher, not the hitter. Edited April 6, 2014 by vegasbrewcrew1993

[topper09er]

Gomez is a horrible bunter because he starts running to first before he gets the bunt down. He had 6 bunt hits last season

[sdcheezhd]

Thanks, that's more than I thought.

[endaround]

How do you not leave Duke in to get through Ortiz?

You can tell he's thinking about running to first the entire at-bat. I don't think Gomez is a cerebral ballplayer. He's more of a ''just do it'' kind of player.
