2014-08-10 Dodgers (Kershaw) at Brewers (Nelson), 1:10 PM CDT [Brewers lose, 5-1]

[MoreTrife]

This is getting obnoxious.

[pacopete4]

Try one, fine. But a second attempt? Stupid.

[AZBrewCrew]

This will be a game we *should* have won...

[BraunyBoy08]

I hope Ron takes Jimmy out here, the 7th has been his downfall his last few starts and he can feel good about this one tonight against one of the best offensive teams in baseball.

[wildcat83]

I don't have a problem with the call, just terrible bunting by Segura. The only way you stop it is by a pitch out, which they didn't do. If he gets the bunt down the run scores.

[DuWayne Steurer]

Rickie either hesitates too long, or he goes without regard. He's not a guy I like to have on 3rd when we squeeze.

[AZBrewCrew]

RRR pinch hitting for Nelson. Glad to see him pull him before he gets shelled in the 7th

[AZBrewCrew]

Kershaw only at 58 pitches? Wow.

[BraunyBoy08]

With everyone so far a righty, kershaw almost looks lost throwing to a lefty...........oh and then he pops up

[DuWayne Steurer]

Kershaw only at 58 pitches? Wow.

 

 

Four (4) outs on the bases really reduces your pitch count.

[SRB]

Kershaw has been very beatable today. Shame the Brewers have waffled so far.

[AZBrewCrew]

That'll do it

If, ifs and buts were candy and nuts...we'd all have a party.

 

 

It surely isn't as easy as simply saying it.

[folly412]

Well, a runner was left on instead of making the out on the bases. That's something new.

[yfinn6]

Just hold onto it, Reynolds. Ugly.

[SRB]

Are they afraid of Kershaw or something? This is some early-2000s Brewers nonsense.

[adambr2]

The first two outs on the bases were awful. I'm not ready to make that same distinction about Braun. He saw a pitch in the dirt and tried to exploit it. It took a perfect throw and tag to get him by a centimeter.

 

I'll accept this. This is why I think there needs to be a distinction made between "dumb" outs on base, and "aggressive" outs on base. Braun was being aggressive and just barely got nailed. It's still frustrating, obviously, against a guy like Kershaw when you're letting him off the hook, but I do agree that there is a difference between aggressive baserunning and just plain stupid baserunning.

 

(ex. : Gomez getting thrown out trying to steal 3rd with 2 outs and Lucroy up)

[AZBrewCrew]

Shocker. Estrada gives up a home run to a catcher hovering around the Mendoza line

[yfinn6]

Really Estrada? Ellis' 1st homerun of the year.. cripes. Down 3.. not lookin' good.

[adamb100]

Hey Estrada, when people say "Chicks dig the long ball", they don't mean the pitcher that gives them up.

[pacopete4]

Well I think this one is what it is. Taking 2 of 3 is nice. With the Pirates about to lose, it'd sure be nice if the Orioles had a comeback win today. Gotta win 3 of 4 in Chicago.

[AZBrewCrew]

Awesome. The In N Out Burger Big Inning for the Dodgers

[brewmann04]

estrada needs to be only pitching in big ball parks hopefully for another club in 2015

[WinkelsasVsSoriano]

Just tuned into the game and checked out the game summary. Saw the Brewers hit a couple Dodgers, including Kershaw. Anything that'll carry over to LA, or were they obvious accidents?

[markedman5]

Kershaw was hit in the foot

 

Nothing to it at all
