2014-04-12 Pirates (Volquez) at Brewers (Gallardo), 6:05 PM CDT [Brewers win, 3-2]

[SRB]

Uh-oh... hope the old swing-at-every-first-pitch Brewers aren't reemerging.

[TheCrew07]

At least the Brewers didn't blow the lead. Umpires hate Gallardo. I've never seen him get the close calls.

 

How many pitchers who consistently nibble get borderline pitches called their way?

[PrinceFielderx1]

And Thornburg end that inning quickly..

[yfinn6]

Wow, thanks Cutch. Make that hurt, Brewers.

[PrinceFielderx1]

Ok, here we go 1 on and no outs...

[PrinceFielderx1]

Bunt them over!

[yfinn6]

Scooter, if you're going to bunt.. just bunt. Anything but a double play here.

[PrinceFielderx1]

Lay off those outside pitches.... You don't bunt those.

[PrinceFielderx1]

Ok, hit the ball deep now.

[SRB]

Rope-a-dope bunt strategy there. Trick them with two horrendous bunt attempts and then drop one down.

[PrinceFielderx1]

OOOOOOOO Time!!!!

[adambr2]

Just because that worked doesn't make it smart with 2 strikes. Must we always bunt in every possible bunting situation?

Depends who you play for. Most Cardinals, Yankees, Red Sox, Dodgers, and Giants pitchers get the calls. A small-market team like the Brewers won't get the ''favored son'' treatment. Gallardo isn't a household name either.

Just you wait.. the suicide squeeze is probably coming next.

 

Nevermind. Dangit, Davis.

[PrinceFielderx1]

What???? Weeks???????

[fondybrewfan]

Well that sucked. Tough breal

[PrinceFielderx1]

Horrible ,manager call

[ELCABALLO45]

Unreal

[TURBO]

We basically have no one to pinch hit. Our bench sucks.

[vegasbrewcrew1993]

wow Davis wow. Nice job moron

[adambr2]

Anyone else not see the folly of the strategy of the bunt there when your 1 out and man on 3rd options are Rickie Weeks and Lyle Overbay?

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

Wow Khrush...2 big fails on the base paths this inning.

[PrinceFielderx1]

gotta go the other way Gomez..

[yfinn6]

That inning hurt.

[TURBO]

wow Davis wow. Nice job moron

 

seriously?

 

There is no promise he'd score there, the left fiedler had his momentum coming to the plate, odds are, he could have been gunned down just as easy as scoring a run..
