  1. It didn't help matters that the ump immediately turned and walked away after making the call. Hopefully this will be a lesson to umps to continue to watch the play/players for a few more seconds. Obviously, this is a crazy, rare incident, but it doesn't hurt to keep an eye on things rather than spinning around and walking way like, "Yup, my job is done here."
  2. Sometimes people get injured.
  3. [sarcasm]Might as well fire the bullpen coach, too.[/sarcasm]
  4. Gomez should charge the mound tonight to see who breaks their collarbone first.

  6. Hey guys, TracyThom is at the game, four rows behind the Brewers dugout.
  7. Isn't this a double standard for Lucroy vs. Rickie? Shouldn't Rickie be given the same treatment given his performance over most of his career and the second half of last season? That statement had nothing to do with comparing Weeks and Lucroy. It was just a general statement about anybody's performance. Sometimes guys suck, sometimes they rake, sometimes they are in between. There doesn't always have to be some mitigating factor like injury, distraction, ill-fitting jock strap, or variable-brightness banner scoreboards.
  8. Nobody has failed to notice Lucroy's struggles. It's just that most believe he'll be fine in the long run, so people aren't worried too much about it. And there doesn't have to be a reason every time someone is slumping. Sometimes they're just not playing well.
  9. This makes me laugh and feel sad at the same time...What on earth were they doing to get that reaction from that poor little boy? The mom was sneezing. The startled reaction was first, then the laugh.
  10. I think the problem is more that we have guys like Alex Gonzalez, struggling Weeks and Lucroy, and crappy bench players coming up in late innings than the lack of lefties. EDIT: Basically what Ennder said.
  11. Your logic contradicts itself. Stop me if I'm missing something: 1) You think a one run lead in the 10th safe, since Ramirez's run would only be "insurance." 2) Pinch running for a normally slow runner coming off a knee injury is an idiotic move because the game might be extended to the 11th inning and we'd need Ramirez's bat. Doesn't make sense. If you think Ramirez's run isn't important, that must be because you don't think the game will go to extras. Thus, it doesn't matter if he comes out of the game for pinch runner. At worst, RR's decision is inconsequential. In reality, though, you want as many runs as possible in that inning. We all know our pitching is suspect. It would be silly to keep a usually slow Ramirez in the game with a knee that's less than 100% at that point because it means either a) Sedar won't send him if there might be a play at the plate or b) he could aggravate the knee if he has to slide into/collide with the catcher. The sensible thing to do is pinch run for Ramirez to increase your chances at scoring an insurance run, thus decreasing the chances of going to another extra inning. If the pinch runner doesn't get a chance to score, there's still a good chance the game ends in the bottom of the inning, anyway.
  12. The Brewers should have traded for Babe Ruth.
  13. I only just tuned in during the last half inning, but it looks like Lohse isn't getting on top of his pitches and following through well, causing the pitches to sail.
  14. Braun looked safe to me. Watching online, so I don't have the ability to replay it.
  15. What? We got 6 years of a potential star cost-controlled shortstop. We also got a couple other "potential" pitching pieces. The Angels got 2 months of a pitcher, didn't even make the playoffs, and lost the pitcher for nothing. I'm stunned that anyone could argue that we didn't destroy the Angels in this trade. http://i.imgur.com/tJIPV.gif
  16. Greinke is clearly the better pitcher. I'd slow down all the "we got the better end of the trade" stuff.
  17. I was half-listening to MLB Network, but it sounded like they said he was due for a regular day to rest, plus he's been battling neck/back issues (don't know if they meant his neck and back were bothering him currently or just that they have been this season). EDIT: TH said that Braun's neck is bothering him. It almost kept him out of the last series.
  18. I voted for the Brewers, but it looks like it's going to be a Dodgers landslide. Funny thing is, those two uniforms (standard home versions) are about as similar as you can get.
  19. So you guys wanted to start burning through the bullpen with no outs in the 3rd inning? Good idea. Sometimes you just have one of those games.
