2016-04-05 Giants (Cueto) at Brewers (Nelson), 7:10 PM CDT [Brewers lose, 2-1]

[adambr2]

Why isn't that a RBI for Flores? I never knew that. Even if you hit into double play, you still brought that run home.... Is Brian just blowing smoke or for 28 years have I somehow never know that?

 

Nope he's not, it's no RBI. Not sure what the reasoning is behind it, probably not wanting to reward the hitter for a bad play.

 

True that you still brought the run home. But you could say the same if you reached on an error and the run scored which in most cases would also not be an RBI.

Oh, awesome, the contact play is back.

[pacopete4]

Nothing like getting jammed on the first pitch of an at bat.

Wonder how many more outs they can get on the bases this series

[GoToHelfaer]

The Brewers aren't good enough to keep sacrificing outs at the plate.

 

On a side note, Villar and Gennett are going to have huge seasons.

[superfly]

that's the braunie i know and love...chase that down and away for strike 3!

[adambr2]

Another out on the bases. Nice to see we haven't forgotten our roots.

[pacopete4]

that's the braunie i know and love...chase that down and away for strike 3!

 

 

Yes because Braun is such a bad hitter that he always chases low and away.

[DuWayne Steurer]

Making outs at home = frustrating.

[Boomer5]

I will never understand the contact play at the major league level.

[adambr2]

I know you obviously can't determine anything this early, but I have a bad feeling that this late in Braun's career, he's going to turn into a .270, 20 HR 'meh' kind of player.

[scuttlebutts]

Who was responsible for the runner going home. I would blame ED on that. But everyone likes him so much, he can do no wrong.

[superfly]

i've watched 1 full inning the past two days and am already depressed. time to drink the minor league kool aid haha

Who does? No one here, that's for sure.

[adambr2]

This team is going to be really terrible. The good news is that we were all prepared for that.

I don't know if I was prepared enough.

He might already be that kind of player.

[MrTPlush]

I would support sending Villar there. Most would with one out.

The contact play is called by the manager. You could see on the replay that the runner broke as soon as the ball was hit. Sedar didn't tell him to go.

[scuttlebutts]

Too easy a play for the ss to send the runner.

[Boomer5]

Nelson looks strong!

[pacopete4]

I'll take this game out of Nelson every time. Great outing. Could've broke when he had bases loaded and no outs but didn't.

[yfinn6]

I don't get this? Only 88 pitches, and you're going to use a PH in the bottom half anyway, let him get another hitter or two and see if he can get a ground ball.

 

I hope the reliever doesn't come in and blow this thing up.
