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." To be fair, Braun did get a mistake pitch that AB and couldn't take advantage. Sure. Happens. -

That was a good baseball play.

Benoit has some pretty tough stuff. I was surprised that Davis was the one to get the best wood on the ball.
-
Not sure in what way Lucroy isn't right. But anyway, I haven't seen the last couple innings, but in the first three, I'm thinking Kennedy may have had some late movement or something tricky going on with his fastballs. Everybody seemed to be popping them up, even when they were down the middle. Kennedy wasn't very good through those innings, but I'm just wondering if the Brewers hitters as a whole were just having trouble keying in on the pitches because of something he specifically was doing.
-
Well, sure, but his transformation into hot garbage was a given.
-
Yeah yeah, I know strikeouts are no worse than any other out and that he hits DINGERS, but I just don't like watching guys like Mark Reynolds who you can't count on to put a ball in play.
-
Yup, if we could find someone to hand a 4-gamer to, we'd hit the wheel.

It's horse crap that Snider gets a lighter sentence than Gomez. Gomez didn't start the fight. He and Cole were simply jawing at each other (albeit rather intense jawing). The Pirates bench, and Snider specifically, started the fight. If anything, it should be Snider 3 and Gomez 2. I'm ok with Maldonado at 5 and Cole getting nothing.

When is it Time to Give Ron Roenicke His Due?
dlk9s replied to Warning Track Power's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
I know we all have a problem with Roenicke's obsession with bunting and the team's poor base running decisions, but I do agree he has done some things well. It seems to me that Roenicke, despite the brawl the other day, has a pretty good calming influence on the team. The clubhouse seems solid and the guys look like they get along. You don't see all sorts of strife like you see on other teams. He also has done a good job at handling the pitching staff and has gotten much better at setting lineups / making adjustments. -
2014 Early Bullpen Usage: Overworked?
dlk9s replied to ReverendBrewmeister's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Yeah, I suppose they're overworked, but other than playing Wang or getting rid of him in favor of another pitcher, I don't really have a problem with how the staff has been handled. -
I think Sterling Sharpe is the emergency catcher.

Russell Martin challenges Maldonado to a fight
dlk9s replied to TURBO's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
I read it as more tongue-in-cheek after his tough words on Sunday. Trying to lighten the mood with a little humor. -
Segura on 3rd, Herrera on 1st, 1 out. RRR has Maldonado try to bunt. Of course, he's unsuccessful and stops trying with 2 strikes. A pitch is bounced and skips a couple feet away from the catcher. Herrera tries to get to 2nd and is gunned down. Segura is then caught off of 3rd - he got back safely, but his slide took him off the bag. He broke for home, which was his only option when the 3B didn't get the tag back on him, but he obviously had no chance.

Padres broadcast totally got my hopes up. I looked away with the sound off and then looked back to see an A-Ram hit go over the wall. It was a replay of his earlier homer, obviously. Curse you Padres broadcast!
-
Nice play by Segura there. Oh so close.
-
That homer didn't look like it was going to be close to being out off the bat.
-
Yup. Gennett hit it hard, right to the 3B. I also thought the first two strikes on Braun were pretty bad calls, though I am not looking at a game tracker or anything. I was pleasantly surprised with how well the ump called the balls and strikes to Gomez, but then all of a sudden, he changed it up with Braun.

Maybe not a standing, but a larger than normal ovation may be in order.But will the media be OUTRAGED?

WILL THE FANS GIVE CARLOS GOMEZ A STANDING OVATION?
-
Strength of schedule aside, I could see making an argument for the Braves over the Brewers, as they are 2-1 against us and only one game behind in the loss column. But even though they beat us in a series, the Cardinals are still 3 full games behind - they have no claim on the top spot.
-
Yes. San Francisco fans are still pissed about the Prince Fielder bowling ball celebration, which was, by the way, fantastic.
-
To answer the original question: Gomez is awesome and great for the game.
