Slo-mo'd that... The throw went to the right of Gomez, but the 1B was inside of Gomez... Can't believe he was able to catch that in time

Never underestimate the cubs ability to leave baserunners stranded.

Braun wouldn't have scored from 1st. This would have given a sac fly opportunity, however.

Can someone explain the salute?

Other than two pitches, Marcum looks great.

Maybe with Casey, but I thought a lot of the complaints about Yuni were due to range and general slowness. Even when Yuni was on one of his boomlets of acceptable hitting, he looked awful in the field. Not saying the eye test is good enough, but if that's what we're talking about here, I don't know that having Pujols at first would've made any difference in general opinion. Agreed... I think Yuni had the tendency to make himself look worse by giving no effort at balls that he could havedove for. Many of them probably would have resulted in an infield hit , but who knows, maybe he could have been able to get to more. If either the SS or 3B were above average, one of the two would be able to bail each other out. You would see a lot of balls go through that 3rd and SS gap until Jerry became the starter. Maybe now that they're both gone, I'm less sour on their poor defense, but people have the tendency to blame everything imaginable on players that aren't doing well, and that may include a low throw to a first baseman who should probably had scooped it. Same thing the other way: if you like the thrower, but dislike the catcher, people will blame the guy catching the ball. Maybe I'm being too cynical on people in general and fans here are probably more level headed, but if you ever listen to 670 The Score, EVERYTHING is always Soriano's, Lovie Smith's, or Jay Cutler's fault. Always gives me a laugh.

How much crap would Ron have gotten if Marcum whiffed with Weeks coming up? What an incredible play.

Some posters are on to something. I think Yuni and Casey may have been spared from a handful of errors had the first baseman been able to scoop the throws out of the dirt, or been tall enough to snag a high throw. But neither were liked, so it was always on them. I don't know how much better defensively Gamel is, but a bad throw by Gonzo or Weeks might end up in people blaming Gamel for any missed scoop if he isn't producing offensively. If Gamel is tearing it up, and Gonzo is struggling, I think people would blame the same exact play on the throw.

Just keep it close for Wood and Marmol.

In a game like this, you leave Gamel in the game. Let the kid play, taking him out does not make our chances to win any better. All it does is shake his confidence when he continuously gets yanked for stupid reasons that our manager creates. Not saying it was a good call, just pointing out they both looked bad.
-
I can't see the game, as I'm listening on my IPhone, but the component I would consider Gamel to look like would be a record player. Steady and reliable. *damn Swype: competent He struck out twice, the second time being on three straight pitches, one being in the dirt.
-
It's not like Gamel has looked any form of component today. Weeks should have gotten an error on that.

I hate the black unis and the black cap with the orange uni's. Would have loved to see green caps or green uni's with orange cap. I love the over-the-top branding. I don't even think it's intentional. The outfield piece, the green wall, the gaudy colors, and the bathroom look and feel get people talking about the team and the ballpark. Not something that any other team should live with, but it works for a team with little tradition and low attendance. -
Wonder if Ron will use an Easter Sunday lineup? http://m.bbref.com/m?p=XXboxesXXMILXXMIL201104240.shtml Last year on Easter was the rare Hawk game. Brandon Boggs hit a home run, and Counsell, Nieves also both started. This is only the third game, so I'm not sure how early in the season is appropriate to roll out a Sunday lineup. Edit: last year, the Brewers had Wolftaras on the first Sunday of the season. The Reds dominated 12-3. Wolf's line... 4IP, 10H, 6ER.

Made me chuckle. Gomez's problem is that he's a pretty big airhead. He needs to put the ball in play and stop swinging for the fences so often. He has incredible speed and needs to utilize it. He should be able to drop a few bunts down and beat out infield singles. He can't do this when he's busy trying to hit one out early in the count. I hope he has a great year and it justifies leaving him in the outfield to run-around.
-
Brewers finally get a break. Didn't like the Freese safe call or ARam getting put down on a check swing. Let's just call that a make-up call.
-
It's safe to say Corey was just faking an injury.
-
Maybe the umpire did not want Molina to spit in his face?

Lol Greinke getting 5 outs that inning.
