someone should have been covering first. not sure how you can even begin to argue otherwise. It was terrible base running that should have been two runs. Can definitely blame Wolf for getting in that situation. And did you actually see the play? Why the hell would anyone think of covering first there? And solo shot? The bases were loaded? In no situation could a solo shot have happened.

Hey guys, I have a good idea. Blame the defense for giving up a grand slam to the pitcher. Betancourt should have definitely robbed that home run. Nobody thought of going to first or being at first because it was an easy double off the wall.

Getting released and injured are different. One is something you presumably have no control over, and the other involves putting yourself in that position due to poor performance. With that being said, I wouldn't feel all that bad for Yuni if he hurt his hand, since he pretty much put his hand in harm's way. But I'm not going to wish it happens to him. If I'm at work and want a promotion, do I wish the guy ahead of me breaks both his hands so he can't program on a computer? Does that count as real life? If you're paid enough, then it stops being real life? If he gets released due to poor performance, that's on him.

So is it okay if I wish Roy Halladay to tear his rotator cuff pitching or Troy Tulowitzki to break his wrist on a ball inside? I mean it would really help the Brewers. This is sports guys. They would just be out the season, but its not like it really matters in the grand scheme, it's not real life.
-
So let me get this straight. You wanted a Brewer (and one who, from all reports, is a really nice guy) to lose the ability to do what he loves during a potential championship run? Nice. That's nice.I do. Because the aforementioned Brewer is a terrible baseball player. So you'd rather cheer for him to get hurt than for him to get on a hot streak?

What are we, Cubs fans?

Complained about Loe in, he went 1-2-3. Complained about Estrada, he pitched himself out of a jam. Complained about not pinch hitting McGehee... Just sets it up for a walk off, doesn't it? One can only hope. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

I'm sorry, but how is RR a bigger culprit than guys like Lucroy, Braun, Betancourt, Casey that are hit-less tonight?
-
Does anyone feel someone says this whenever the Brewers are losing a game?
-
Roof open: 3HR tonight? Blah. Go Crew. Hey guys, I think we're peaking too early tonight.

*please don't bunt, please don't bunt, please don't bunt

Brewers look flat. Some bad defense and bad at-bats. Jackson has given some pitches to hit too. Marcum missing some 0-2 counts. They need a spark or something. We got them right where we want them though. The Cardinals are statistically proven to flop away the 9th inning.
-
Ugh. He probably doesn't trust the defense on a ground ball :/
-
Jinxed it saying the defense was good tonight.
-
Good defense tonight so far.
-
I never understood the split screen shot of guys watching baseball while the actual play is going on.
-
He said 'de-engineering'... I'm not sure if it's a word, but it sounded smart. You can only give the ball away if there's 3 outs. Ask Milton Bradley.
-
Marcum getting some long deep outs... No, there was one out. JHJ had that close play to end the inning.
-
If Morgan did that in St. Louis....
-
For St. Louis, probably.
-
At least they didn't also call the hit and run.

If McGehee draws a walk, he's not in scoring position for the 6th spot. He's also incredibly slow, so scoring from a double becomes unlikely. Also, I'm quite interested in the research that fluctuation in BA with RISP is most likely due to randomness. And I'm not sure what you mean by double-counting. It was argued that RBI's in this case aren't a telling stat because a player had more opportunities to drive in runs. I pulled up stats on that were an average performance per AB that a player did while having at least a player on second base. I don't think RBI's should be discounted in telling how well a player did, especially when they led the team. And yes, how he did last year statistically doesn't have all that much to do with how he's doing now, but I think a lot of people are discounting his season last year because he's been bad this year. It happened. He did good. Throw away RBI's, he still had a great year. Yes, he's not nearly as good of a player as Fielder or Braun, nobody's arguing that. Just because he had more RBI's than Fielder and Fielder's better doesn't mean you have to completely throw the stat away.
-
I don't think you're understanding the statistics very well, or looking them up yourself. You're discrediting his year last year because he isn't doing good this year. Lets get some numbers out. McGehee's RISP: .324.372.571.943 Fielder's RISP:.233.451.301.753 I'm guessing that has a lot to do with higher RBI numbers. These are averages, so PA aren't used, just ABs. Prince also hit a lot of solo shots. Of his 32 HR, 26 of them were solo shots, and 6 came with any runners on. This can be blamed by runners in front of him not getting on base, but if you look at the numbers... Fielder had 247 AB with men on and hit 6 HR. Casey had 286 AB with men on and hit 11 HR. Fielder's avg HR per AB with runners on was 0.024 compared to Casey's 0.038. Interesting stuff. I don't have stats about how many were on base on average per home run, or how many RBIs resulted as HR/2B/S... that would be interesting to look at as well. The fact is: Casey had a good year, and you're discrediting the amount of RBI's he's hit due to... him hitting RBI's rather than walking? Do you honestly think the teams' run numbers would be much higher if he walked more? He was in the 5-hole, not lead-off. His job was to bat runners in when they were in scoring position, not draw walks. Obviously, he did a good job with RISP (.949 OPS)... why would you want a guy who's hitting that well with RISP to go up to the plate and draw a walk for players below him who obviously weren't doing as well. I fail to see how wrong it was for McGehee to lead the team in RBIs instead of drawing walks so Escobar and Gomez could drive him in.

Brewers break season attendance record (reply #58)
a3uge replied to ilovebeer's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
I don't understand that top one. I clearly remember going to opening day against the Dodgers in '07 when Sheets went off. Bill Hall hit a home run. I also remember them announcing the crowd as the largest in the history of the the stadium. They lied to us?
