  1. I think Yo's done after the 7th, no matter what. He looks like he's laboring a little bit. Hopefully he can get this final out with two guys on base.
  2. Call me old fashioned, but I bunt if I'm the Pirates with the leadoff guy on. The way things are going, they can't count on stringing together a couple more base hits (I hope I'm right).
  3. Back to the last Braun AB, he's GOT to know that Snell is going to throw him that breaking ball with 2 strikes. Very poor AB. I think I can find it in my heart to forgive his bad game, though. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif
  4. No, he was putting a tag down in case Braun was trying to stretch it into a triple. And I didn't see the first HBP of the last inning, but there is no way the second one was intentional.
  5. God bless JJ and Rickie, but they've been a bit of a two-man circus in the field the last few games.
  6. I can't get the Brewers OR Pirates feed on MLB.TV.
  7. His arm speed is noticeably slower on his curveball.
  8. That 84 MPH cutter or whatever DiFelice throws is filthy. What a great job he did tonight.
  9. http://www.jsonline.com/blogs/sports/43694962.html Gord Ash said Cain hurt his knee diving for a ball. Doctors said it might be a torn MCL.
  10. Yeah, that was weird. He had the base stolen easily, but it was like his tucked leg was the lead leg.
  11. I'd have to go back and check the replay, but I'm wondering if Hall underhanded the ball to Weeks because Weeks was late getting to second base, requiring Hall to throw the ball a little softer.

  13. To be fair to Duffy, he has drawn a walk twice in the 9th inning when we were down by 1. On one of those, he ended up scoring the tying run.
  14. The use of "Fall Series" is not because Krylon doesn't think it's really a "World" championship. I'm not a lawyer, but I believe the phrase is substituted to avoid trademark infringement. You may notice that whenever you hear TV and radio contests for the Super Bowl, they refer to it as "The Big Game" or something like that. The NFL is very strict on who gets to use the phrase "Super Bowl" or "Super Sunday."
  15. Frankly, I feel that Prince, Braun, and Hardy should all just be DFA'ed already.
  16. Even if Rivera and Kendall were to have exact same BA and OBP, there seem to have been several (many?) occassions over the past year when Kendall has come up late in a game when we need a chance for an extra-base hit or even just a sac fly. Rivera has a better chance to do this than Kendall. I like Kendall just fine - I think he has made a nice contribution to the team, especially behind the plate - but he has trouble just advancing a runner, since he typically either chops to third or pops to shallow right/first base. The disadvantages of putting Rivera in to PH would be a) experience in pressure situations, b) lack of speed if he does get on, and c) I would guess that he will K more than Kendall.
  17. Sure, I think it can be taught. Part of the trick for young players is to understand how other teams are going to pitch them. For instance, it is pretty obvious that opposing pitchers are going to bust Hart down and away out of the zone. As he continues to see these pitches, he'll recognize them more quickly and be able to lay off of them. As he swings at fewer of these pitches, pitchers will have to start throwing him pitches in the zone.
  18. Overall, I like the MLB Network. My only real gripe is that they re-run a lot of programming. I figure this will improve over time. I was happy to see that when April rolled around, Comcast (Atlanta) gave me MLBN HD and it doesn't look like I have to pay extra for some sports tier like I do with NFLN.
