Where is Telly, NBA finals sideline reporting? -
Seitzer looks odd without that extra face guard helmet
-
Yuni easily makes that play last year
-
Look at those 2 hitters, .287 OBP for Gomez (career .289 vs LHP) and .309 for Betancourt (.306 career vs LHP). And both of these managers will be at the allstar game.

Gossage in 1978 had an average of 1.82 days rest/appearance and threw 134.1 IP. So 2.1 IP every 1.82 days Axford last year only had 1.46 days rest/app but only threw 73.1 IP = 1.0 IP every 1.46 days I think in Gossage's day he was the backup closer, the starting pitcher was the first string closer each game.

9th inning on the same play they first throw to the wrong base and then screw up a run down. Im sure they would have played it the exact same way if it was game 7 of the World Series. If you cant just sense this team does not have the same attitude as last season and are making more fundamental/mental mistakes than last year than you are missing a part of team sports that matters even though fangraphs does not have a metric for it yet.

The reality is, it's very difficult to look like you care when your are getting trounced. The reality is that it is very easy to look like you care when doing anything at anytime, you just try your hardest until it is actually over instead of assuming it is over half way through. You seem to be suggesting that their apparent apathy is why they got destroyed. I am not suggesting anything, just making an observation. In the first inning down only 0-3 Braun Ks and immediately throws his bat and helmet on the ground doing his best Shawn Marcum postseason grand slam glove throw impersonation. Aoki takes an off balance 3-0 swing and flies out with Braun on deck, 2 runners on base and the game still in reach. The infield came within 1/4" of going 0-2 in rundowns for the game. I wonder how many times Weeks didn't know how many outs there were but luckily the ball was not hit to him. They make the same mistakes when they have been winning recently also, when they played the Dodgers they got DP balls practically every single time they needed one, which was often. A good manager could get his team to look they care even though things looked bleak, like TLR did with the Cards when they were 10 games out of a playoff spot in September last season.

I think one of the reasons the "closer" has become such a huge deal is ESPN and similar hacks trying to promote Mariano Rivera as a the greatest and most valuable pitcher of all time. They need to act like pitching in the 9th inning is extremely difficult and only the most elite pitcher can do it.
-
First pitch fastball infield fly is a very fitting ending to that shameful debacle.
-
Nice start to the inning down by 8, 4 pitch walk with the platoon advantage. Just let Gomez pitch since he wants to and actually cares
-
This game has been a disgrace to baseball, we deserved to get perfected. The only players on our team right now that look like they have any interest in playing are Gomez and Maldonado.
-
OK who is playing in the NBA
-
Id rather watch Jeff Suppan pitching for the 2002 Brewers than the NBA
-
Anyone remember a similar hit at MP a few years back that Soriano just walked after and some Brewer, I want to say Jason Kendall, was running hard and got a triple out of it?
-
3-0 count. Down by 5. 2 runners on. Ryan Braun on deck. off speed pitch low. The perfect formula to swing away
-
Did not look like a lot of effort from Castro considering your pitcher is sitting on a perfecto
-
They won the series with help from a Bill Hall late inning HR off of a Joel Zumaya triple digit heater in one of the games. We better get on the board or the Cubs will have 2 more no hitters than us at Miller Park.
-
When was the last time we had a catcher who even thought about throwing behind the runner at first? Matheny?
-
OK, 7-2 in our 9 game homestand vs PIT, CHC and SD and we are back to .500
-
Twice in as many weeks that Rickie doesnt know how many out there are
-
Interference is not an intent call, if you do it it doesn't matter if you just innocently, accidentally do it
-
Man we have been getting those DPs when we needed them all series
-
That may have been the best play of Rickie's career, nice
