2014-05-13 Pirates (Cole) at Brewers (Estrada), 7:10 PM CDT [Braun returns, Gomez still active; Brewers win, 5-2]

[dlk9s]

If they are really 5/1, I wouldn't touch that.

why?

 

Because it's simply a horrible value.

[jvrocksaz]

Anyone know why Gomez was removed from the game?

Looked like he got hurt diving back to first on a catcher pickoff attempt.

[DuWayne Steurer]

This team has been brutal with men at 3rd and less than two outs as of late. I don't know where they stand for the season, but for the last week or so it's been rough.

Thank you. Gameday just said it was due to an injured back.

Matt Lepay just reported Gomez left with a lower back strain

[vegasbrewcrew1993]

this team can be the definition of anti-clutch sometimes

[wildcat83]

If he tweaked his back now would be a good time to serve his suspension.

Surprisingly, for the season, the man on, less than 2 outs numbers are pretty gaudy. I can't find a breakdown for the last week.

[vegasbrewcrew1993]

yes! i'll take it!

Except for, you know, Sunday.

DFA Weeks /blue

[DuWayne Steurer]

Nice start from Marco. Lot of pitches for 6 innings though.

why?

 

Because it's simply a horrible value.

 

value is worthless if the team loses. there's no value in a 100/1 bet. the team is 100/1 for a reason. the brewers are 5/1 for a reason. it means there chances of going far are pretty good. the brewers being 3/1 to win the nlcs means there's a good chance it happens.

which is why i put sometimes.

[vegasbrewcrew1993]

they would've sent old weeks home. that ankle injury unfortunately took away a lot of weeks' speed.

[Bombers]

Khris Davis is on deck per Tom H :

@Haudricourt: Something up with #Brewers Ryan Braun also because Khris Davis is now in the on-deck circle in his spot.

[azcheesehead]

Let's just hope that they're easing Braun in.

[pacopete4]

It really is too bad this team cannot stay healthy. Eventually this will catch up with them and cost them games and maybe a lot of them.

So would you consider it a good bet if the Brewers were, say, 2/5 favorites? After all, if they are such a stone cold lock to win, it's got to be a no-brainer.

[phnxcrew]

This team is awful at staying on the field. Hopefully braun isn't hurt again

[yfinn6]

C'mon Kintzler.

[young guns]

Is it too late for gomez to rescind the appeal? If hes gonna be out a few days anyway, might as well get the suspension out of the way at the same time.

no because I would make very little money. there's no such thing as a no-brainer in betting. never has and never will be. some teams just have better chances than others. the brewers at 5-1 is still a good bet because i can make decent money if i win and them being at 5-1 is a good sign. as a fan, if i saw the brewers at 2/5 i would be happy since it's a strong indicator that the brewers will be good. as a bettor, i would pass on that bet.

[vegasbrewcrew1993]

i hope braun and gomez are ok. all these injuries are getting annoying.
