2014-08-26 Brewers (Nelson) at Padres (Ross), 9:10 PM CDT [Brewers lose, 4-1]

[Bombers]

And scooter picks up Braun and Ramirez - way to go Scooter!

[LMMCBrewer]

TERRIBLE plate discipline!

[coolcool]

Lol aram, what a terrible at bat.

[The stache]

Attaboy, Scooter! Ace this! Nice, beautiful swing!!!

[sauveb]

Lucroy on third with nobody out. Ross throws 10 pitches, 3 in the strike zone, and gets two strike outs. Not good.

[Bombers]

Ross is just all over the place

[TGOTJ]

This is setting up very nicely for a Reynolds BB and a Segura ground out to short.

[Bombers]

What is Davis doing

[DuWayne Steurer]

THrown out at 2nd, with a man on 3rd, and two outs.

 

Great baserunning! (blue)

[WinkelsasVsSoriano]

Oh, so this is gonna be one of those games where they're just gonna make stupid mistakes and swing at everything. They could have told me earlier.

Hah, take that! You clearly underestimated our baserunning!

[superfly]

Don't mean to ruffle too many feathers but Jimmy Nelson is a pretty average pitcher. If those David Price rumors had some backbone I would have more seriously considered dumping him off on them.

Nicely played. For those of us without video, what happened?

First and third, 2 outs. A ball in the dirt, and Davis got thrown out by a mile trying to go to 2nd.

Ross threw one in the dirt, catcher blocked it pretty easily and it didn't get too far away (around home plate). Davis decided to take off for second for reasons unknown and was thrown out easily.

He's just struggling with his command a bit. I'm not going to write him off after a half-season worth of starts.

[TGOTJ]

I'm a proponent of advanced metrics, but just don't understand how they rank the Brewers highly.

I don't like the baserunning metrics for a variety of reasons. The biggest one is that they just tell you "this guy took an extra base" or "this guy got thrown out trying to take an extra base". There's no context. That doesn't tell you if it's truly "good baserunning" or "bad baserunning". It just measures extra bases and outs on the basepaths, nothing more.

Here's a combined statement on the quality of the MLB At-Bat app and the ugliness of Davis' baserunning:

 

The inning ended so abruptly that I turned away before the play, turned back to see the "Commercial Break In Progress" message on the screen, and thought the stream screwed up again.

You must have forgotten. It's been a while since our last base running blunder so Davis thought it was time for another. Plus Reynolds wasn't doing anything based on what he showed in the 3 pitches there were.

[WinkelsasVsSoriano]

Why why why are you stealing there? And Segura was out easily as well.

[yfinn6]

Good job, Segura.

[jason21nl]

Back to back inning ending outs at 2nd...cool stuff

[Bombers]

Hey - here is a novel thought - let's keep on running into outs

[trwi7]

Running out of another inning with two of our best hitters coming up. Keep green lighting them, RRR, it's working!
