I actually kind of liked what I saw on strike three, as odd as that may sound. It was a low-outside slider (and we know how bad most of our Brewers are with those). Upon watching the replay, it looked like Gomez actually waited too long to swing; it was like he was making sure that it was going to be close enough to offer at since he had two strikes. When he realized he was going to have to protect the plate and started to swing, the ball broke and his missed it. It was a nice pitch.
McDonald threw a couple really tough pitches to Braunie there. That low-outside breaker was great and the final strike was pretty nasty - 93 mph on the low-inside corner.
Wait, wait, wait, the Fox Sports girls only appear during commercial breaks? If so, I can't fathom how this could possibly be a problem to anyone. I mean, are you really yearning for a few more seconds of a Menards commercial?
I'm going to have to see a replay of that. Braun looked pretty safe to me. EDIT: Upon DVR review, it looked like the fielder blocked the base in an awfully dangerous way, preventing Braun from getting his foot in there before the tag.
Yeah, I always saw Perry's spitball thing as sort of a joke that was more entertainment than cheating. Of course, he did cheat, but it became this thing that was like performance art. "Am I doing it or am I not? You're going to have to figure it out."
This. You know you are on a forum full of baseball nerds when there is one thread revolving around not liking attractive girls that are a marginal part of the telecast and another revolving around not liking an attractive woman that sits in the front row and shows some cleavage.
