Pretty much backseat, after the fact driving argument..

Seriously, the pitching gets complacent late in ball games. They should know better.

Funny, how one of great defensive plays of the year is done by Betancourt and Fielder, who are constantly barraged for their poor defense. So much for defensive metrics.

Not much of a point trying to bunt over the runner when Marcum would have been next.

It has to do with hand motion on the particular kind of pitch. Painting strokes on the backside of an X suspended in front of you, as opposed to the front side, which would completely different stroke motion. Think Karate Kid, painting the fence.

Yuni's defense was spot on with that last out. Nice work. WAR all the way up to 0.3 now. He overtakes Theriot, and is no longer the worst.

Green will struggle and falter just like every AAA scrub that comes up here. Guys hitting over .300 and over .400 OBP in AAA are a dime a dozen, and pitching in the PCL is horrific. The only way some people are satisfied is by proving how futile they are at the plate and wasting an option. The only way this gets solved is by posting a horrible major league line and throwing him back to AAA, and saying "I told ya so". Thank goodness Melvin doesn't listen to the masses.

We have Hairston, Lopez, Counsell, and Wilson. To even be think one minute about bringing up a rookie over 4 major league players is utterly absurd. This is no time to be splitting time trying to season a rookie. Lets all be clear that Greene has not seen a major league pitch outside of spring training.

If we have Green or Gamel starting in the playoffs, it means our roster has been massively decimated by injuries. These guys did not get us there, and should in no means be deciding our playoff fate.

This is one of those Wins Above Replacement that Betancourt should score on.

Thank god for Yuni Betancourt. Otherwise this game would never end.

Nice going Axblow. Chokejob city.

Why guess? You're down 0-2. What the hell are you trying to do, walk?

Yuni is the second highest hitting and 3rd highest OPS of SS in the major leagues since the break. Amazing.

Anyone who's a regular starter in MLB is not the worst in baseball. The only reason that he shows up as the worst is because the default only shows the "qualified SS" by games. There are several SS that have worse UZR/150. They just simply haven't had the opportunity to accumulate the playing time. Guys like Sean Rodriguez, Matt Tolbert, Eduardo Nunez, Trevor Plouffe, and Chase D'Arnaud.all have worse UZR/150. Plus there are about 20+ unqualified SS this year with worse WAR as well.
