2018-05-08: Indians (Kluber) at Brewers (Miley) 6:40 PM CDT [Brewers win, 3-2; Miley leaves game in 1st w oblique injury]

[topper09er]

Rock calling it a base running mistake is meaningless...

 

No it is not, the broadcasters are generally incredibly favorable to the players and usually remain neutral on bad plays. Any time they are the least bit critical it was a mistake.

[pacopete4]

Topper you’re getting ridiculous at times with this stuff. Not much he could do on that play. But I’m sure you’ll die on that hill.

[topper09er]

Guys, it does not matter what Rock says. It is ALWAYS a baserunning mistake to get doubled off besides the case I listed above. The simple fact that Lindor got to the base before Villar is all you need to know. Villar should have froze right away, and quickly realized the ball was going to the general 2B area and start going back. Villar is too aggressive and stupid and was not disciplined enough to understand that scoring was not an option on that ball.

[OldSchoolSnapper]

Villar is by far their best option at 2B. I wish he would just play every day. Yes I know he isn't good but their other options aren't major league players. Maybe Villar isn't either but he sort of looks like one on his best day.

Haha nice edit after you saw I made another comment! What a tool

I will go on the record to say I also think Villar should start everyday at 2B. I do not have anti-Villar bias, just anti-poor-fundamentals bias

Didn’t edit it because of your comment ole boy. Added the ending because you’re predictable.

 

Edit.......... notice the time stamp. Tool....

[Dragonbait]

I don't like villar, but that ball was hit hard. He had no chance.

[adambr2]

pack your bags Orf

Not tonight. I'm guessing Knebel gets activated and Franklin DFA due to the short start. Orf will need to hold off until the bullpen gets rested.

 

Can you DFA an injured player?

[yfinn6]

Thanks for sorta showing us the last three outs of Paxton's no-hitter, FSN.

[pacopete4]

I wanted us to get our hands on Paxton a few years ago. When healthy that guys fun.

[Harold Hutchison]

Saw the DP Suter turned... I'll say this... Guyer had NO business being that far from the bag. Wasn't even close.

[wildcat83]

Caught most of this on the radio driving home. Tuned in to see the Kluber 20 straight quality starts graphic... How nice would that be.

[wildcat83]

Well isn't this a fine how do you do?

 

Now we will be subjected to Suter. And with two men and one out. See you guys tomorrow. What a terrible day to be a Brewers fan.

 

Lol, good call on the quick depression mode. This one must have been brutal to watch so far.

[Boomer5]

Come on Bullpen.

[stoutdude04]

Nice grab by Yelich. Hader just hit 98...I remember earlier in the year I was worried because he was sitting around 92.

[wildcat83]

Miley not even the shortest start of the night. Bundy didn't record an out for Baltimore in a 10 run first inning by KC.

[Eye Black]

I know Hader is coming back out in the 9th and looks like he is in absolute beastmode right now, but I would still feel better if they can scratch across an insurance run or two here in the 8th inning.

[pacopete4]

Come on Villar, we need at least one here.

[long ball]

I'm always a fan of teams leaving LH relievers in to face Ryan Braun.

[MoreTrife]

Aside from HR......... Shaw has been freaking brutal. Barely anything leaving the infield. I really didn't want him to regress but expected it.

[FVBrewerFan]

Two really hard hit line drives outs from Arcia, he has looked much better the last couple weeks

[pacopete4]

Arcia has looked better over the last couple of weeks. Hopefully he starts turning the corner a bit and becomes a bit more patient as well.

 

Going to need Pina to come through with a big two-out hit. Wouldn’t mind seeing Aguilar pinch hit.

[Kelbysdaddy]

Not that I want this AT ALL, but could you imagine the haul we could get if we traded Hader? He’s an absolute savage and shut down relievers are in such high demand nowadays.

[markedman5]

Shaw pop.up....Villar being Villar.....
