  1. That's not a terrible decision in the slightest to give Lucroy the green light 3-0. Pitcher is up next and he can sit dead red. He just didn't smash it, which isn't some heinous crime. I mean, do we really think there was a good chance Marcum was going to drive in a run with the bases loaded? We would've all been praying for a strikeout. Also, it's not like Lucroy was just hacking 3-0. He was looking for a fastball that he could hit and he got one. If it was a ball, he likely would've walked. The next pitch was a great job by Jackson.
  2. Every day, Harold Reynolds shows how much of a dummy he is. He said that RR should start Casey because of the 3 homer game. My god. Mitch Williams said so, too, but then he added that Marcum should plunk Furcal so that the benches get warned and then Jackson has to throw the ball over the plate to McGehee. At least the second part was entertaining (and it did not appear to be 100% serious, btw).
  3. I think it's pretty much this. At this point, it's pretty apparent that Saito is better than Hawkins (though Hawkins is solid), so he's going to be the go-to pre-setup man. Loe will be the guy if there's a string of righties coming up/we need a ground ball. Hawkins is just sort of caught without a defined role at this point. Saito has been great, so there's no reason to go with Hawkins over him if they are both fresh, Hawkins isn't a specialist, Hawkins isn't a long man, and Hawkins isn't K-Rod or Axford. It's nice to have a guy of his caliber as the "forgotten" man.
  4. That's why I wondered why everyone kept saying that we had the pitching advantage. How?Because we have better pitchers than the Cardinals.
  5. I don't think anyone has a higher meatball-to-homer ratio than Grienke. He never gets away with one.
  6. I was wondering the same thing? Did something happen over there? It looked really strange. Marching band getting ready to take the field?
  7. No, most were close to being strikes, it's just that he should've had better situational awareness and made him throw one down the pipe before swinging with less than two strikes.dlk, you used the term "situational awareness" while talking about Bettancourt. You should know better.http://i.imgur.com/ZS7B2.gif
  8. Breaking stuff is looking good. Just needs to throw more strikes with the fastball. When he does come in the zone with it, though, he's jamming guys pretty well.
  9. No, most were close to being strikes, it's just that he should've had better situational awareness and made him throw one down the pipe before swinging with less than two strikes.
  10. And, umpires often dont give boarderline calls when the command is off. Plus, if Yuni doesn't swing at one, the ump will probably think that it MUST be a ball.
  11. They were all really close, but considering Garcia's command this inning, he probably should've looked at one.
  12. Ron Gant was talking about this exact scenario re: Brewers/Cards on MLB Network today. He said it would be highly unlikely for anyone to get ejected. He talked about the time in the WS when Kent Hrbek lifted him off 1st base and he was called out. Said he did everything he could to get ejected and never did.
  13. I don't know how Yuni ever makes solid contact with that swing.
  14. Looks like Garcia's room service was five minutes later than promised.
  15. Fielder got beaned. Nothing too hard or too high, may or may not have been on purpose, though knowing TLR, it probably was. Benches were warned.
  16. So if Grienke hits a guy he gets tossed now? And my wife is right. I totally have a man crush on Ryan Braun.
  17. Brewers in 4 and their sweep suits will be classy tuxedos.
