In a vacuum yes it would have been better, however, considering the tradeoff of sucking the excitement out of every single time a close call goes your way forever I can live with the mistakes. Personal preference I guess, I can understand your viewpoint, guess “justice” just trumps everything else in mine. So it’s not too surprising I’ve supported calls for electronic strike zones. Justice is very great, but sports is not real life. Plenty of other luck involved for championship teams, why should we allow line drive outs? If the exit velocity is above 105 mph, the batter should just get a hit. Why should they get an out, just because that's the way its always been? So at some point I think its just best to leave this stuff alone and enjoy the games. I would be ok with electronic umps maybe but only if the calls happen with absolutely zero delay. -
Would have been interesting see Arenado try that trick on Villar

Interesting call to field/not field that considering the 0-2 count...
-
I would say it is getting worse, football now has automatic reviews on most scoring plays? Please keep that out of baseball.

It’s easy to feel this way in the 4th inning of a game in early May. Would not be so easy in the 9th inning of a tie playoff game that cost the Brewers a trip to the World Series. Packers got over it when Jerry Rice fumbled in the '98 playoffs.
-
kinda looked like Desmond did not keep his foot on the base to get Braun, o well
-
Never a good sign when you miss too high with a slider...
-
Yuni makes that play easy
-
We are dead last in the NL with RISP for AVE: .203 !! OBP: .292 OPS: .636
-
Whenever the OF turns around in a circle either the ball was crushed or the game is being played in a tornado
-
You know Chacin is good for a few taters at Coors, keep them solo shots and we might be ok

Brewers 6th spot in the order: .598 OPS, 13th in NL Brewers 7th spot in the order: .569 OPS, 11th in NL Brewers 8th spot in the order: .570 OPS, 9th in NL Overall 7th-9th spot (non-P): .577, 13 in NL Not as bad as I would have thought

German > Hernan

I mean Pujols still hits 4 so that makes sense as the "by the book" move
-
Has anyone actually directly asked CC about all the Villar sitting? He appears to be as "benched" as you possibly could be for a MLB player.
-
No, this is Stearns. As I said before, I have no idea why he had to have Shaw in the Thornburg trade or Anderson in the Segura trade. You get those guys when you're ready to contend and have holes to fill, not in the middle of a rebuild. I think he would say he went for the deal that he thought provided the best value rather than targeting specific players. He analyzed Shaw as an underrated player and was right. If our pitching was terrible and we were no where near competing, we would have Shaw as a very attractive trade piece.
-
I will go on the record to say I also think Villar should start everyday at 2B. I do not have anti-Villar bias, just anti-poor-fundamentals bias
-
Haha nice edit after you saw I made another comment! What a tool
-
Guys, it does not matter what Rock says. It is ALWAYS a baserunning mistake to get doubled off besides the case I listed above. The simple fact that Lindor got to the base before Villar is all you need to know. Villar should have froze right away, and quickly realized the ball was going to the general 2B area and start going back. Villar is too aggressive and stupid and was not disciplined enough to understand that scoring was not an option on that ball.
-
No it is not, the broadcasters are generally incredibly favorable to the players and usually remain neutral on bad plays. Any time they are the least bit critical it was a mistake.
-
Are we sure that he didn't freeze? I obviously only saw him diving back into 2nd. He may have had a big secondary lead. He took maybe 1 step, but as I noted... he wasn't getting back. Lindor didn't even run hard getting to second to double him off. It was routine... 1 step is not the same as freezing. Freezing = 0 steps. Getting doubled off is always a baserunning mistake except fro the cases when the player who catches the ball is already closer to the base than you are.
-
That ball was hit well. Lindor beat him to the bag by at least 2 steps. A large chunk of the league gets doubled off on that. Try seeing through your villar bias... Right back from the break Rock called it a baserunning mistake. Trying seeing with your eyes open by watching the game
-
Villar comes in and promptly makes the little league baserunning mistake of not freezing on a line drive. Never would have guessed that

pack your bags Orf
