I'm sure glad that one got over the wall or the Pirates would've been piiiiiiiissed. EDIT: I'm going to run that joke into the ground by the end of the season.
After NY, Boston, Anaheim, and LA, ESPN pays the most attention to the Cardinals. I really, really don't care about teams other than the Brewers. The Brewers had a rags-to-riches story recently and nobody cared.
Saw nothing wrong at all with the triple. The Cruz grounder that got past Segura was positioning. Mayyyybe a little lack of hustle, but really just positioning.
I didn't see the play, but reading Gomez's explanation of his thought process, what he did seems far from a Little League play. Sounds like seasoned pro making a strategic call based on what he was seeing.
...or if only we already had a more talented pitcher just waiting for a chance... True, true, but I don't see a need to trade Estrada when we'd probably get "just a guy" for him and reduce our depth at starting pitcher.
"With your speed, you should be hitting the ball on the ground and be legging them out. Everytime I see you hit one in the air, you owe me 20 push-ups."
I won't blame Marco for that last one. No reason for a guy to be able to reach down and hit that out. I suppose if I wanted to get lenient, giving up a couple to Stanton isn't anything to be markedly ashamed of.
Estrada is a good no. 5. Could we get anything of value back if we were to trade Marco this season? I don't see the point of trading him. He's a good starting pitcher. I guess if we could get a younger pitcher of equal quality.
