At this point our best chance to try to steal 3rd and home -
Wow we've finally seen enough of Bandy and his foul infield fly abilities
-
Typical Brewers with poor fundamentals, you do not reach to tag the runner, you tag the front of the bag
-
The Bobo Holloman no hitter was in his first start but not his career debut
-
Good question, tough to research without a bbref play index subscription. He did just edge out the famous debutof Juan Marichal who tossed a 1 hit, 1 BB 12 K shutout to start his career. The perfecto was lost after 6 1/3 by an error. I also found this gem of a debut from Jimmy Jones, 9IP 1 H 0 BB to start his career, although the hit was a 3rd inning triple by the opposing pitcher.
-
now 1-13 with RISP in the series, of course the only hit being a non RBI infield single
-
Why? mental errors at the big league level are completely tolerated and nothing ever happens to any player that commits one
-
And then what? Put in Sogard? Yes
-
Fundamental play: throw the ball into the infield right away always. Brewers: Be lazy and not do that, allow a run to score, and not get benched
-
Cold at Wrigley will do that
-
again, Braun does not put his glove up to block the sun right away...and o my gosh he lost the ball. Our coaches could not care less I guess.
-
Yelich has swung at ball 4 twice in a row now
-
They almost never call the lost in the sun balls errors
-
Hitting a 95 mph pitch is also tough, this is the majors, no excuses. No more tolerating mediocrity
-
How did Zobrist catch that? I thought it was impossible...o wait, he simply used his glove to block the sun as soon as the ball left the bat. Little league fundamentals
-
Can we bench the entire team? As usual, utterly no fundamentals form the team. How many frickin dropped balls do we need before our fielders IMMEDIATELY put their glove up to block the sun as soon as the ball is in play. If you wait until you have already lost the ball, it is too late. Notice how Rizzo did it last inning, then look at our clueless team
-
If Yelich is feeling this uncomfortable he needs a day off
-
Cain owes us a HR to make up for his little league mistake
-
The biggest difference in the game was the weather preventing an Aguilar first inning HR and a Yelich grand slam. Goes to show how 1 dimensional we are and how impotent our offense is when we can't rely on the long ball
-
so far 0-8 w/ RISP in the series, not getting it done.
-
Actually last year according to ERA we had #1, #1 (Anderson, Nelson), #2 (Davies) #4 (Garza) #5(Suter + Guerra + Peralta combo) 2011 we had #2, #2 (Gallardo, Marcum) #3, #3 (Wolf, Greinke) #4 (Narveson) 2008 we had #1, #1 (Sabathia, Sheets) #3 (Villanueva + McClung) #3 (Bush) #4 (Parra) #5 (Suppan)
-
If you just look at ERA, assume the #1 pitchers have the lowest 15, and the #2 pitchers have 16-30 etc...here are the types of pitchers the playoff teams had last year: Washington #1, #1, #1 (Scherzer, Strasberg, Gonzalez) #4 (Roark) #5 (combo) Cubs #1, #1 (Hendricks, Montgomery) #2 (Arrieta) #3 (Lester) #4 (Lackey) Dodgers #1, #1, #1, (Kershaw, Wood, Hill) #2, (Ryu) #3 (Maeda) So the Nats did thrive with a Suter type starter, but they kinda made up for that by having 3 of the top 10 pitchers in the league. Looks like in general the playoff type teams do not have Suter types getting regular starts
-
That would be a 5.40 ERA, which would have been the second worst in the entire NL last season among qualified starters Just out of curiosity, how many guys you'd qualify as 5th starters actually make the list of qualified starters? You could obviously do better than that line, but especially with our bullpen, that line is going to keep us in ball games. It was only 32 last year, if I lower the limit to 90 IP that gives 72 pitchers (almost 5 for each of the 15 teams), a 5.40 would be good for 62nd place, so I guess it would be among the top half of #5 pitchers

Worst called 4 pitch walk AB in history?
