Tangent: Our starting catchers in 2009 and 2010 look more like catchers than anyone in the history of baseball. -
I'd have to see it again, but it definitely didn't look like a pitch that should have been hit over the fence. That said, this is tough to watch. I don't blame Macha for sending him out there again today, though. Looks like management is going to have a very, very difficult decision to make after today.
-
Believe it or not, aside from that disaster at Chicago, Hawkins has been pretty good this year (and yes, he pitched just fine at Washington - he got really unlucky that game). Not saying he's going to come in and strikeout the side, but I have no problem with him going in.
-
God bless Carlos Gomez. If anybody was going to strikeout while getting hit by a pitch, it was him.
-
I'd be curious if McGehee slowed up at all around 3rd base. I actually kind of liked the attempt. I don't mind taking a chance once in a while.
-
The guy who got hit by the bounced pitch by Villa didn't even move. Didn't even flinch until it hit him. He should not have been awarded first base.
-
Everyone realizes that it could be a huge blow to morale if they took that banner down, right? I assume that the calls to take it down are just vents?
-
Take it easy. It's not like it was a 71 MPH fastball from a pitching machine. It was a 71 MPH curve after 91, 91, 76, and 91. And based on what I'm looking at, the ump called everything fine in that AB. Sometimes pitchers do a good job pitching.
-
I would like to reiterate this.
-
The good news is that we'll win it in the bottom of the 9th, which is always fun.
-
He did look tired, but I thought he still pitched well in the 8th. The second base hit and the long out that Braun caught weren't meatballs or anything. The first single was a jam shot. Hey, 2 runs in 8 innings...I'll take it!
-
On McGehee's K, it almost looked like he started to try to get out of the way of the ball, resulting in his bat continuing to move across the plane of the plate. Obviously a swing, though.
-
I don't think he was going to get to it, anyway. Maybe he got a late break on it, but nothing flagrant. I suppose there might be evidence of the difference between Edmonds and Gomez - Gomez might have had the speed to catch up to that ball, but it would have been tough even for him.

Can the Jason Heyward to Cooperstown talk now subside?
dlk9s replied to JohnBriggs12's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
I'm just excited because Heyward's rise to promise resulted in the SI article about him, which taught me about the East Cobb baseball league that he played in which has sent a bazillion guys to the pros, which got me thinking about when I should buy my 1-year old son his first glove because I live in East Cobb. I will live my dreams through my little boy! -
The Brewers should hire a hypnotist to make them think every opponent is the Pirates.
-
Nah. Without looking at his pitch selection stats, it doesn't look like he strikes out because he flails at crap. He appears a bit vulnerable to a good outside or low breaking ball, but then again, many players are. The last pitch he struck out on was just pure gas - sometimes the pitcher just makes a good pitch.
-
Here's the wonderful strike zone on Prince's first AB (2 & 6 were called strikes): http://img41.imageshack.us/img41/9822/princeklol.jpg

Another non-surprise: the Brewers used up their mythical quota of runs yesterday (yeah, yeah, there are still five innings to go).
-
I don't understand why anybody throws anything but low-outside pitches (especially breaking balls if it's a lefty pitcher) to Fukudome. He flails at them all the time.
-
From what I saw, as I mentioned earlier, it looked like he actually thought the ball went over the wall and therefore slowed down.
-
WGN just showed the replay. Braun thought it was a homer. Even put up his fist in triumph. Kind of sucks, but it looked like he legitimately thought it bounced over the wall, as opposed to him just hot dogging or something. By the time he realized the ump said it was in play, it was too late.
-
The ball bounced off the wall pretty quickly right to Ward, so maybe it just got back to the infield too fast.
-
Man, that was disappointing.
-
I agree that Escobar probably could have gotten Lee, but a halfway decent throw to home would have gotten Fukudome out easily.
