For crying out loud villar. I don't know how anyone can defend his baserunning no matter how good of a hitter he is.

[stoutdude04]

Sucks...but that was a great move and was in a perfect spot. Not even sure he was leaning...but I'd have to go back to check it out.

[1992casey]

You can defend Jonathan's speed, but you can't defend how he tries to use it.

[trwi7]

The bottom of the Cubs lineup is far worse than ours.

[trwi7]

Somebody tell Brian that it's Pina not Pena.

[stoutdude04]

You can defend Jonathan's speed, but you can't defend how he tries to use it.

 

True. The other issue is that he goes every time he is on...so, pitchers know it's coming.

[1992casey]

Garza's walk is the fifth of his career.

[jerichoholicninja]

Rizzo's shortened up and slapped two hits with two strikes so far in this game. Who was the last Brewer to do that once?

[jerichoholicninja]

Jeez, just cost us an out and run Jon.

[adambr2]

Just what you need to do when you play the Cubs, give away runs with wild pitches and passed balls.

[jerichoholicninja]

I'm scared. Rock and I were thinking the same thing on that play. Crashing Villar was stupid because the runner scores easily. But if you're going to it bring in an outfielder to prevent that from happening. I'm not sure if that Counsell or Villar's fault but it was a stupid play on someone part.

[JohnBriggs12]

Going to get very ugly very soon.

[JohnBriggs12]

How does one "pop out sharply"? Gameday must be manned by a diehard Cub fan.

[adambr2]

I think I'd rather see 3 strikeouts in an inning than 3 pop outs. That was terrible.

[trwi7]

Has anyone noticed how bad FS Wisconsin's scoreboard has been recently? Constantly getting the wrong counts, wrong number of outs etc. Like earlier today it was a 2-1 count to Nieuwenhuis, the scoreboard had it at 1-2. The next pitch was a strike and the scoreboard called it a strikeout and then brought up Broxton's name with a new count and added another out. They finally realized it was wrong and just completely took the scoreboard down until somebody decided to wake up and fix it.

[jerichoholicninja]

Magnifico looking sharp out there.

[jerichoholicninja]

Foot didn't touch the plate. He should be out but they'll call him safe.

[adambr2]

We never win replays.

[jerichoholicninja]

Yup. Replay is such crap. You want it to get the call right, then actually get the call right.

[jerichoholicninja]

So Brian and Rock want it so players don't have to touch the plate. Just stupid.

[And That]

I want "Defensive Indifference" done away with in the next CBA. You steal a base, you steal a base. It shouldn't be too subjective.

[MrTPlush]

I want "Defensive Indifference" done away with in the next CBA. You steal a base, you steal a base. It shouldn't be too subjective.

 

No thanks. You shouldn't get a stolen base if the other team isn't trying to stop you. It isn't stealing if it is given to you.

[And That]

It's not a given that a team won't try to stop you, you still have to run. There's risk on the runner's part. If you try to walk to the next base, they'll tag you out no problem.

[Boomer5]

I agree. You advance a base its a stolen base.
