  1. I'd be happy with 2 of 3, considering we have to face Santana. And this Nieve kid seems pretty solid, too.
  2. Keep in mind that not only did Counsell foul one off his toe, but he also got roughed up on that double play turn last night. Uke speculated that Counsell might be pinch run for because of that. Apparently, his ankle was sore. As for Gerut not running, it is almost assuredly because Macha wanted a lefty available to hit. SF only had right-handers left in the pen.
  3. On the JSOnline's sports blogs page, the description of the Brewers blog is: "The Journal Sentinel sports staff brings fans the latest news and inside dope on the Brewers." Classic.
  4. This is weird. I have the game on MLB.tv on two computers. One of them is pretty much live (as much as games over the internet are live), while the other just came back from the commercial break after the 6th inning.
  5. Awesome replay of Braun's reaction on the K: "[bleeping] ball, man. g-d d--n."
  6. You know, people can make fun of Counsell being a "gritty" player and all that, but you know what? He's good. I like him. I like him a lot.
  7. It's not like the Cubs have been awesome this year.
  8. Hardy ripped the ball both times he came up after Cameron's leadoff doubles. Unfortunately, one was right to the third baseman and one was to the warning track in dead center.
  9. Well, if the Brewers are getting a lot of hits off the starter, they probably don't want him to leave the game. I have no problem with swinging at the first pitch if it's a good pitch to hit.
  10. Yeah, my prognosticating sense is a bit conservative tonight.
  11. You're wrong. He was voicing his own opinion. He says utterly idiotic things all the time. I thought he was some kid and was shocked to see him on TWC 32 and see that he has gray hair. Mitch is 33, give or take a few months. I went to high school with him.
  12. This exact situation is actually discussed in the MLB rule book. In Rule 4.09, which lays out how a run is scored, there is a "Comment" with a series of specific situations and how they are ruled. Here is the applicable portion: APPROVED RULING: One out, Jones on third, Smith on first, and Brown flies out to right field. Two outs. Jones tags up and scores after the catch. Smith attempted to return to first but the right fielder's throw beat him to the base. three outs. But Jones scored before the throw to catch Smith reached first base, hence Jones' run counts. It was not a force play.
  13. I failed to mention that when Leiter asked Reynolds if Chase Utley clogged the bath paths, Reynolds responded with, "Does he have a high OPS?" I'm glad you know about the stats that you hate, Mr. Reynolds.
  14. He went on this same rant about OPS on TV a couple nights ago. He was arguing that the Angels are awesome because they have "bat control and speed." Made the same points about Dunn and Giambi and clogging the bases. Al Leiter was literally biting his lip to keep himself from interrupting. He looked like he wanted to smash Reynolds' face into the desk. Leiter tried to get a few words in (most notably, "Does Chase Utley clog the base paths?"), but Reynolds kept talking over him. Leiter gave up eventually, looking like he just thought Reynolds was dumb.
  15. Ok, that bizarre DP convinced me to do what's right and go to bed. With two kids, it's not like I can sleep in like I used to, either. I'll keep my fingers crossed that we come back for the W.
  16. I really shouldn't be watching. I'm got 3 hours of sleep last night and am dying right now, plus I'm on the east coast, so it's after 11:00pm for me. I'm so dumb.
  17. 1) Except for his first AB tonight.2) That called third strike looked like a ball to me. But yeah, overall, he's been struggling.
  18. I want the game to be called, but it would suck to have Fielder lose his HR and 3 RBI's.
  19. Here are what appear to be the applicable rules: Rule 4.12(a)(5) A game shall become a suspended game that must be completed at a future date if the game is terminated for...Weather, if a regulation game is called while an inning is in progress and before the inning is completed, and the visiting team has scored one or more runs to take the lead, and the home team has not retaken the lead Rule 4.12(b)(4) Any suspended game not completed prior to the last scheduled game between the two teams during the championship season shall become a called game. So, in addition to the rain continuing, it looks like we want them not to be able to continue this game this weekend. Of course, then they might have to tack it on to the end of the season if it's meaningful, which could suck.
  20. You know, it's just all in fun.
  21. Braun made nary a diving play last year. He played a very conservative LF, which is fine since it was his first time ever playing the position. Also, Braun already had a reputation of being a terrible fielder. I doubt any voters even thought of him for a GG because of his history, even though it was at a different position.
