Because he has a good eye for balls and strikes. Secondarily, he knows he's not about to hit one 450, so he doesn't get over anxious and try to do too much with crap pitches. Occam's Razor, everyone. There's no crazy, complicated reason why CC has always had a good BB%. He has a good eye and doesn't usually swing at junk.

Shaun Marcum is good at playing baseball. -
I'm pretty sure that a homer by the leadoff hitter is literally the best way a team can start a game.Yeah...kind of my point. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif Was it the first or second pitch? because we could split hairs that way.I guess if it was the first pitch and both Votto and Bruce got severe neck cramps from turning to watch the ball sail over the fence, causing them to have to exit the game, then that would be the best way to start.

Nice play by YuBet there.
-
Just saw the video of Hart's homer. That would've been cool if Stubbs opened the door and caught the ball.

Makes me yearn for robot umps even more...

Ok, this is getting silly. Gameday has ball 3 to Hernandez as almost down the middle.
-
If Gameday is correct, the balls that Grienke is throwing couldn't be any closer to strikes if he walked up to home plate and set them on a tee. Almost all of them are touching the edges of the strike zone.
-
Of course he's running out of gas. He's 41-years old. And even though he himself has said that he's not up for playing every day, I would think his under-use has hurt his productivity. The question is does he provide value to the team. I think so.

Braun's defense: is it better this year?
dlk9s replied to danzig6767's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
He's definitely improved. As others have said, he's no maestro out there, but he's not Manny Ramirez, either. He seems to have gotten better at plays going towards the line and judging things in front of him (not that he gets to everything, but he knows better when to pull up and make the safe play). He still struggles going back, but his overall progress is ok. He's made a bad decision or two on throws this season (that airmail to home that's been mentioned), but he's also made some great throws. Last week, I think it was, he fielded one on the foul line and gunned a guy trying to stretch for a double, all while he was falling back. And I don't think anybody noticed, but Braun made a really good throw to home when Jay Bruce tagged for the first run of the game Monday night. There was no reason the play should have been close, but if Bruce had let up just the slightest bit, I think Braun would've nailed him. -
Brewerfan Poll: Ryan Braun's Baserunning
dlk9s replied to And That's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
I voted 7. I started him at around an 8.5-9, but knocked him down because of his pickoffs. Clean those up and he's right up there with just about anyone in the league. -
Aside from the rally in the 5th, I thought the struggles on offense were more the result of good Cincy pitching than bad Brewers hitting. Wood seemed to do a really good job of making "pitcher's pitches," hitting the strikezone, but in spots that the hitters couldn't make good contact. Jam jobs, outside corner, he didn't give the Brewers anything to hit most of the time.

Brewerfan Poll: Ryan Braun's Baserunning
dlk9s replied to And That's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
I was thinking the same thing. Molitor was the first guy who came to mind for the "10." Fielder isn't a "1" - he's just slow. -
Probably undefeated, but maybe one loss. Maybe.
-
I'm excited for his 30/30 season.

Wish granted.

Don't know why people think the squeeze call was "terrible." Obviously, we all know the big risk is that if the pitcher gets to the ball quickly, he can throw to home for the force. But in my opinion, while it's a more likely out than without the force, I still don't think it's that likely of a scenario. Plus, there was pretty much no way the Giants were expecting it, allowing Lucroy a little leeway on the quality of his bunt. I'm also working under the assumption that Lucroy doesn't whiff or pop it up - unless he's known as a truly horrific bunter. I loved the call. I wouldn't go to the well too often with something like that, but it was awesome.
-
I don't blame him.
-
Always a good idea to send Prince when he's not even at 3rd base when the LF gets the ball.
-
And by that I meant that the hit would force all the runners home.
-
Just setting up the force at home. No problem.

Looks like the "r" did what it wanted in that post. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

We just can't have nice things (Where's Bernie?)
dlk9s replied to bjkrautk's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
They really should have just given out the clues the morning of the hunt. Don't even tell people in advance that the Bernies would be in parks. Just say there will be 1,400 hidden in whichever counties and cities and that at 5:00am or whatever time that clues will be disseminated on Twitter, Facebook, Brewers.com, etc. Then have the Bernies placed at one location at each site with staff members handing one out to each person.
