    Technically, they're not challenging because they can't from the 7th inning on. This replay "comes from above."

    TH speculating that Braun might be hurt because a) he bunted and b) he was removed from RF in the 9th.
  3. dlk9s
    At least he avoided twirling his bat and hitting a teammate in the face.

    Estrada obviously using pine tar to make that play.

    I had no problem with the attempt by Rickie to make it home on the foul pop-up. I suppose the slide wasn't ideal, but whatevs. Looking at the replays, he the catcher may have actually missed the tag, but nobody seemed to complain. By the way, not that it's happened much, but I've noticed that important (i.e. plays at the plate) very close calls to end innings haven't been getting reviewed. It almost seems like everybody just trots off the field and they think it would be too much of a pain in the ass to review it, possibly reverse the call, and bring everybody back.

    And not that anyone's forgotten, but we could always use a reminder of the GOAT Hall of Fame speech:

    I'm going to guess Frank Thomas and Ernie Banks. Sammy Sosa is my alternate.

    Yup. Newhouse is living by the skin of his teeth tonight.
  11. dlk9s
    More like close, but clearly safe. I mean, not a question. From watching the umps, it looks like the delay might have to do with audio/communication problems.

    MLB.tv is now available on Chromecast. Though I don't subscribe to MLB.tv, I do have Chromecast, so I am quite happy about this, as I'm always considering a subscription. Need to subscribe to MLB.tv premium, though.

    Cue the same people saying Braun should be banned from the game talking about how Pineda is such a gritty player just trying to get the 'W' for his team. (And of course, doctoring the ball actually has a clear impact on the game, unlike PEDs. [sarcasm]Eagerly awaiting Pineda's 50-game suspension.[/sarcasm]) I think most people are just calling Pineda an idiot.
  16. dlk9s
    Yup. They won the PCL title that year, iirc. You're old.

    Awesome. I'm on Facebook and the Brewers posted pics of Maldonado visiting with fans in luxury boxes DURING the game. Hey, if you're going to be suspended, might as well have fun. Love it.

    Professional hitter, man. Pro-fesh-u-nul.

    I was excited that Doug Melvin put out an LP, but now I am disappointed.

    I'll make the pancakes!

    I will say that without looking at any sort of charts, Braun's hitting weaknesses seem to be the low-outside corner and high heat. It seems like he has trouble seeing the low-outside corner (in that he often looks at balls in the strike zone in that location) and is eager to swing at / has trouble hitting high fastballs. For all his abilities, though, I can live with it.
  22. dlk9s
    What do you know? A called third strike on the outside corner. Well, tip of the proverbial cap to the Padres' pitchers. They had some good stuff going tonight. Lots of movement, excellent location pretty much all night.
  23. dlk9s
    I've said this many times in the past, but sometimes the pitcher just wins the battle. Not every out or even every strikeout is an abject failure or some pathetic effort by the batter. The pitcher made some good pitches. The last one was great. Looked like it was going to be close enough for Braun to protect and then dove out of the zone. The pitcher did his job. Whenever our pitchers strike a guy out, we're all like, "Yeah! Great job! Nasty stuff!" When their guy does it, we're like, "Pathetic." That's all very true, but that last pitch wasn't close. If Braun thought it was a fastball low and away then he's an idiot. There's no need to hack at that anyways. The heat is on the pitcher, not Braun. He should know that patience in that situation is more important than swinging like a maniac. If there are two strikes and a hitter thinks it's going to be close, he generally swings and tries to foul it off. Sure, there are plenty of times a guy looks at a close pitch and is right, but it's not unreasonable to protect the plate and not chance a called third strike. So Braun whiffed on a pitch in the dirt. Big deal. The pitcher threw a nasty pitch that he located perfectly.

    I can blame Roenicke. You give away an out by having Figaro hit and then leave him in to give up the game-winning HR? I think Melvin is responsible for keeping Wang on the roster, but Roenicke doesn't like him so he's protesting by never using him. There were two outs and nobody on when Figaro came up. The odds of scoring a run even with Braun up were very, very low. With the bullpen stretched thin, it was very reasonable to leave Figaro hit. And as far as him magically turning into a pumpkin when he takes the mound for a third inning...he did just fine save for one pitch.
