    Braves just had bases loaded, no outs in the 8th and didn't score.

    I agree, the stadium seems unnatural, almost like left field is a gimmick that was unneccessary. Come on Ben, let's settle down. Let's not forget the stupid "ACL waiting to happen" hill in center, plus the flag pole on the field of play.

    Maybe we can get to 5 games back. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

    Man, that stadium is a joke. I just got caught up with the game and watched the highlights. Cameron's was a pop-up, Hart's basically flung the bat at his second one, and for pete's sake, KENDALL hit one out.

    Thomas was a sick beast in the 1990's. I think a lot of people forget just how unbelievable he was, since he had a pretty sudden decline after an injury forced him to miss most of the 2001 season. Then again, he still went 42/105/.267 in 2003 and 39/114/.270 in 2006.

    So, some guys went to the plate with two bats?

    When I pitched, there seemed to be two reasons that it felt awkward to make a throw to a base: a) it's not off a mound - you get so used to throwing downhill that throwing off of a flat surface an instant later is very odd, and b) I wasn't using a pitching motion - similar to the previous reason, your body gets so used to throwing in a certain way that having to change it up at the drop of the hat can be tough. Now, I don't remember ever screwing up a throw as a pitcher (except for a pickoff once), but it still felt awkward much of the time. What I tried to do, provided I didn't have to make a hurried throw, was take a half-second to set my feet, switch my mind from "pitcher" to "baseball player" mode, and make a throw like I was just playing catch before the game. What's funny is that I was a very good infielder and outfielder, as well, and never had problems making throws from those positions.

    Tavarez should bean Tejada.
  9. dlk9s
    I like how Jim Powell is justifying the Tejada HBP.
  10. dlk9s
    If only they would've beaned Hardy in retaliation before Braun came up.
  11. dlk9s
    OMG - Cameron didn't K.

    I just hope there's no revenge sweep of a revenge sweep.

    The Brewers pitchers' splits against opposing pitchers are right around the league average, except for SLG (it appears that opposing pitchers have gotten more extra base hits against us), which then makes the OPS against us a bit higher. Pitchers batting against the Brewers: .148 BA, .154 OBP, .254 SLG, .409 OPS Pitchers batting against the NL: .145 BA, .184 OBP, .182 SLG, .366 OPS

    There's a difference between lying and the need to adapt to a change in circumstances.

    As much as I love Robin Yount, somehow I don't think Yankees fans are sad about not having a 3,000 hit guy. If they are, they can cry into their gazillion championship pennants.

    After the 1st, Uecker told the listeners to "stick around." I guess he was right.
  17. dlk9s
    I'm looking for a bloop and a bloop and a bloop and a bloop and a blast.
  18. dlk9s
    It's funny - I told my brother 10 minutes before the game that I didn't have a good feeling about this one because of Bush's tendency to give up homers.

    And I doubt it's memorized. (pared back nested quote --1992)
  21. dlk9s
    Agreed. At least come up with a better reason for the pitching change. If Yost honestly thought Mota would give the team the best chance to keep the lead in the 8th, fine. He would have been wrong, but there's no shame in being wrong, as long as there is some sort of logical reason. Look at Shouse. He's come in and given up a couple bombs this year, but I don't think any of us really ever question his use (we question his LACK of use sometimes, but when he's brought in, it typically makes sense). He's usually very reliable, but sometimes he doesn't come through. It happens. But he's brought in for a real reason, not because of some statistic.
  22. dlk9s
    He has faced a limited number of batters because he's come out of the bullpen. As you said, he has been great, and he was fantastic in the 7th last night. Thus, there's no reason to take him out for the 8th. It just doesn't make sense. Switching to a mediocre pitcher from a guy who is kicking butt is tempting fate. The logical thing is to stick with the guy who is rolling. You don't know this will happen. And again, Villy was tremendous in the 7th, so he was obviously doing something right. Villy's changeup is actually pretty spectacular. The changeup is the off-speed pitch that typically works well at Coors. And again, he was obviously doing something right to dominate the way he did. I guarantee that only a small fraction of Brewers fans would have blamed Yost if Villy struggled in the 8th, unless Yost waited to long to get him out of there (as he did with Mota). I hate to keep harping on it, but it made zero sense whatsoever to removed Villy after one inning. He threw 10 pitches. He struck out two guys. He dominated. We all know he felt good and he fully expected to pitch the 8th. It wasn't a matchup decision. It was a stupid statistic decision.
  23. dlk9s
    Yeah, I'm done with Yost, too. I was holding out as long as I could, but last night was just asinine. And I don't even care about the Kapler/Cameron thing, as Cameron has been terrible at the plate (after all, Kapler did drive in the first run). The pitching decision/reasoning was the last straw. For pete's sake, at least give the media a better reason for the pitching change.
  24. dlk9s
    At least Chicago, St. Louis, Atlanta, and Florida all lost.
  25. dlk9s
    How about a bloop and a blast?
