Scooter makes that throw easy... -
Pina has a lot of tail on his ball for a catcher. Does not through over the top, seems like it will cause balls to drift towards the 1B side of the bag if he doesnt get everything on his throws.
-
Well with the shift on the old definition of "routine" has changed a little bit
-
seemed worse because 90% of stadium got excited...we need all packer fans to take over soldier field to pay these fibs back

Here is an example http://awfulannouncing.com/2014/your-mlb-local-tv-announcer-rankings.html

I have never understand why there is this unwritten snobby baseball fan rule that you must always hate homer announcers. Homer announcers are awesome, Wayne and Larry getting pumped after big Packer plays - awesome. Lucas and Lepay, same thing. I'll take them every time over the standard neutral announcer. In 2008 when the Brewers turned a double play to at least tie for the wild card, Rock's totally homer reaction was amazing. http://m.mlb.com/video/topic/6479266/v3567115/lee-grounds-into-a-double-play-to-end-the-game "I'm not being combative." What is this snobby rule that you speak of? BA is clearly a homer for the Brewers, but he's not over the top about it and can still make objective comments about other teams and that is something I like about him. This reminds me a lot of the "you do not wear a hat of another team" debate on the other board. You're making two extremes here: either they are objective and thus being subjected to a "snobby baseball fan rule" or they be a complete over-the-top homer. I never said I wasn't being combative, being non combative is boring like BA. My general impression is that whenever there is a poll about baseball announcers the most common knock on the lower ranked ones is that they are homers

No one wants to hear a homer then. The comment I quoted was referring to BA, I personally do not consider an announcer's objectiveness at all when deciding if I like them. It seems like it is all the rage to look down on Hawk Harrelson as a pathetic loser, but if I was a ChiSox fan I would love him. I agree with the above evaluation of BA as totally vanilla. When laughs at his own corny jokes he reminds me Dave Chappelle impersonating the typical white suburban guy.

Man I hate instant replay. Cant react to any close plays, which are common in baseball...always wait for the manager to challenge or not
-
The man hit for the cycle, welcome back anytime.

These are Prince Fielder's game totals from 2006-2011 on the Brewers: 157, 158, 159, 162, 161, 162. Keon Broxton does not need any "rest" days at all. Injury sure, but 7 straight games and no days off is no big deal. Where is Fielder now? Do you want me to post Cal Ripken instead? The point is Prince Fielder is fat, yet was able to produce for a whole season without any rest. He then had 6 months off to recover. Do you really think if over the course of 10 years he spent 50 extra days sitting on the bench instead of playing first base his neck would be perfectly fine today.

We need to just cut Kirk since Counsell apparently cannot resist starting him. Broxton is young and healthy and should be starting every single game for at least all of April and May and beyond unless he is hitting .100
-
We should start a countdown. On the bright side Shaw in on pace for 324 doubles
-
do we even have a hitting coach? stop guessing with 2 strikes.
-
2 8th innings down by 1 this season, 6 Ks
-
2 straight 0-2 pitches Pina wanted way up and Suter left belt high. He will not be this lucky for long
-
They need to make a rule where the manager on offense can hold up 3 fingers so the batter can just be awarded a strikeout so we can move on without having to watch Arcia bat
-
Kinda looked like Perez did a little Roger Dorn "oley BS"
-
Maybe he loudly passes gas at tense moments in team meetings to break the tension.
-
Classic Rock quote: "We aren't going to endorse until we get to taste"
-
i think that may be Sedar's worst wave of all time, maybe in the running for worst in MLB history
-
Jesus!

Shaw did a nice job waiting back on that one
