  1. It's good to know that Yuni is consistent. He's always good for a pop-up and a roll-over groundout to the left side. I'll give him credit for not swinging at the first pitch in either AB, though.
  2. Strike 3 to Upton was the same pitch as Ball 4 to Hill. EDIT: Is it called a "turkey" when there are 3 of the same post in a row?
  3. Those might have been the closest balls 3 and 4 I've ever seen.
  4. Is it just more or have several of the balls off the bat seem like they are hit harder than they really are? Morgan's foul looked like a shot off the bat, but was just sort of a medium, looping liner.
  5. Not sure what you want them to do when the pitcher is throwing strikes. Hart would've gone to 0-2 and Morgan was thrown a pitch in his wheelhouse. Braun looked at the first two to go to 0-2, then fouled a bunch off. Sometimes guys just hit easy fly balls. It doesn't mean they are doing a bad job with pitch selection.
  6. Yuni took a first pitch. That's a victory in my book, no matter what else happens.
  7. I found nothing wrong with the first three AB's aside from the end results.
  8. I'm having trouble figuring out this ump's strike zone. I don't feel like he's calling a bad game, but I just have no idea with any borderline pitch whether or not he'll call it a strike or a ball.
  9. TBS definitely has one of the best HD pictures out there. Their sports coverage has gotten better and better the last few years, as well.
  10. Kennedy is doing a good job throwing strikes, but looks hittable. Looked like all three hitters in the 1st just got under the pitches a little.
  11. Is it? If there is an actual, known reason why their splits are what they are, then ok, I can buy it. But since I've never heard anyone give any sort of reason WHY their home/road splits are so, well, "split," then I don't really put any stock in them.
  12. I've said it before and I'll say it again: Most "Valuable" Player is just a fancy way of saying "Best Player." It just looks good on a trophy. To not give it to a guy because he played on a mediocre or crap team doesn't make any sense. Besides, even if you think you interpret "Valuable" literally, I don't get why people put in the context of a player's specific team. ANY team that loses its best player is going to do worse, regardless of their record. The Brewers would've won fewer games without Braun, the Dodgers would've won fewer without Kemp. Taking teams out of the picture and just lining up all the players in the league, who would have the most value, based on this one season? Whose statistical season (throw in intangibles if you wish) was the most valuable, simply from an overall baseball perspective? I mean, what if a guy hit .400 and had a 40/40 season, but the pitchers on his team were of the Suppan/Looper/September Red Sox variety and his team went 75-87? Is that guy not the most "valuable" player in the league because nobody else on his team could do anything? By the "must be on a winning/playoff team" logic, he's not. In the case of Braun/Kemp, it's so close that I'm ok with using the playoff team thing as a tiebreaker, but I just hate the notion that a guy can't win MVP if he's not on a playoff team.
  13. FWIW, most of the baseball people on ESPN.com picked the Brewers to win the NLDS and a few picked the Brewers to win the whole damn thing. Just fun to look at sometimes. EDIT: Wait...I should check Steve Berthiaume's picks, since he had the Astros winning the division and the Phillies not making the playoffs...phew, he didn't pick anything.
  14. What a dumb move by Boston. As if it's Francona's fault that their pitchers couldn't get anyone out in September.
  15. My daughter's birthday party will be on the day of Game 3 of the World Series. I assume the game will be at night, so that will work.
  16. Guess I'll have to figure out how to setup my PIP on Sunday.
  17. Brewers go 11-0.
  18. A few that jump to the front of my mind: 1) Braun's 3-run homer in the division clinching game + his diving catch double-play 2) Plush's walkoff hit where he didn't know it was the 9th inning. 3) Hart/McGehee/Prince 3-homer games 4) Kottaras' cycle 5) Prince's walk-off homer in extras vs. Colorado 6) Triple play (I believe that whole game had a bunch of great defensive plays) 7) McGehee's pinch-hit 3-run homer against the D-Backs (July 6) 8) Braun's pinch-hit go-ahead homer in 9th against Marlins 9) Yuni/Weeks behind the back double play 10) Marcum's grand salami
  19. Unknown and I doubt they did. The only thing that is known is that the contract was reconstructed so K-Rod would hit free agency I doubt that includes a no arby offer. I could actually see a no-arby deal as a possibility, but I'd be a bit surprised if it was made. The reason I could see it as a possibility is because K-Rod would be a less attractive free agent signing for a team if they know they have to give up a high draft pick for him. That would make it harder for K-Rod to make the money he wants.
  20. heres the video Wow. Way to retain an impartial and professional demeanor!Whatever.
  21. Harold Reynolds just said that Arizona dominated the season series with Milwaukee. Oh, you silly man.
  22. Whatever time it is, my butt is going to be planted on the couch all weekend. I already told my wife to have fun with the kids.
  23. Come on, there's a big difference between a team that hasn't had a winning season in 20 years not drawing and a really, really good team not drawing.
