Look at what Denard Span does with his right foot while he's hitting. Just watching him hurts.

That’s the only thing Chicago’s good for: to tell people where Wisconsin is.

Those splits don't seem to make sense. It indicates no home runs vs a lefty but then indicates Scooter has hit two home runs against left handed starters.

According to Baseball Reference, "vs Starter batting splits are for the entire game when the starter was LH or RH. These splits include any subsequent plate appearances against a reliever regardless of their throwing hand."

Scooter HR & Bb vs MadBum.... Who is a lefty, crown him everyday 2B! :)

 

Last year highest exit velocity 103.8mph .... His HR 108.7mph. Looks like someone has added some power in his swing

I'm shocked, SHOCKED, that Wily didn't get the bunt down. Granted, Bumgarner is funky and it's not easy, but c'mon, maaaan

Some bad fundamentals hurting the team. Error by Scooter, questionable baserunning by Carter, on two plays Santana looked like he didn't have a clue where the ball was going, walking the pitcher. Oh well.

Can't lay down a bunt either.

Well we are off to a good start with getting runners thrown out on the base paths. Maybe it wasn't a Gomez problem...

Sedar, what are you doing? It's not Broxton on 2B! Scooter is not a fast guy! Dumb out. By the way Broxton killed that ball, surprised it died that much

That was a TERRIBLE throw. It was up the line, and a four hopper. (Rewound and watched it again)......and Scooter was STILL out by 3 steps. What in the HECK is Sedar doing there?

 

I know there's going to be the "the Brewers create runs by being aggressive" crowd, but the only chance he had to be safe would have been if Pagan had airmailed the ball over Posey's head, or the throw had been so offline that Posey would have been unable to actually make a tag.

Nahhh. After he starts the season with 20 consecutive home runs teams will start walking him. :tongue

 

Even as you have said, it has come to pass.

Ed Sedar is is like having a piece of excrement as your third base coach. I can't take seriously this organization's pursuit of excellence while that man continues to bumble his way through his job.

Why did Wily bat with 1 on and 1 out if he wasnt going to start the next half inning? Is there a tenable explanation for that?

I believe the answer to the trivia question is President Taft (the first President to throw out an opening day first pitch).

Only thought is that it's pretty early and he didn't want to go to the bench yet. Not sure if it's a good excuse, though.

Too early to use a pinch hitter? Im guessing.

This is my take, too, given that Scooter reached.

 

Welcome to Milwaukee, Torres. Thanks for playing.

SF really wants Bumgarner to get the win I guess. Up 7-3 but with the stress he has gone through and his illness I think they could have just pinch hit for him here and sent him to the showers.

 

Welcome Carlos Torres. Nice way to start for him.

I can see why braves sent him down...86-90 velocity...wow.

Well the pitching staff that was in Arizona has made its way all the way up to Milwaukee. Really only will be looking forward to watching Nelson and Jungmann pitch this year.

Counsell emptying the bench early in the 6th. We'll see if this strategy pays off.

Shame if they waste a game when Bumgarner was far from himself. Nelson deserved the nod for opening day. That's my first "told you so of the year", but it was a no-brainer. so I won't be giving myself any pats on the back. I will for Gennett with a HR and a BB vs. a lefty though!

That was rookie manager stuff. With our bench not sure what he was trying to accomplish other than to give Kirk and Flores some RBI ABs
