Hoskins is just an out machine. If no one is on, he'll just get himself out. If the Brewers are unlucky to have someone on in front of him, he'll wipe them both out.
Anything hit to the pitcher should be a "run hard" scenario unless the pitcher is capable, then save your legs. That said, yeah, he should've ran. I'm not really ready to bench him for it. I think he knows he goofed.
Yeah that was a missed call for sure. I think Haase may have been set up a bit outside hence the miss on the call. On TV it looked like a strike that was missed.
It won't be the last the Bucknor misses.
Mitchell has had kind of a bad run lately, and still playing some good D. Way out there on the steal attempt and some (a lot of) strikeouts.
Looking forward to seeing Ashby but he cannot walk the leadoff hitter, like he just did.
NOW we get the low strike. Lol.
Gritty performance for Montas. 6 strong there. Bad calls went against him at bad times but gave the team 6. We'll see what Ashby has next.
I don't know about the trade and arguing whether Montas was worth it, the way I see it is this: Montas is likely going to pitch every turn he takes. Any positive innings he gives us is a bonus. We were scraping the barrel for arms. Bringing in two guys who can eat some innings has been a nice adjustment. Yeah, they're not aces but they are solid MLB arms who maybe just needed an adjustment.
When the general public knows his name, then you know it's bad (Angel Hernandez Rule). Put Bucknor on blast for all his terrible calls through the years. The only thing is the Bucknor has a LOT more patience to throwing people out vs Hernandez (even if stats don't show it). I felt like Hernandez kind of dug his own grave when he blamed baseball for his lack of WS appearances and blamed it on his race. In reality, he just stunk.
These 4 runs are ridiculous. The inning is different if strikes are being called strikes.
Looking forward to the floating strike zone all game. That's the thing with Bucknor, he's consistently inconsistent behind the plate.
