Pirates win on infield single, folowed by steal and error on the throw, followed by sac fly.
-
41 pitch 2-inning no hitter.
-
Welcome to the big club, Mr Carroll.
-
Pirates/Cards going to extras. Would be nice to see Pittsburgh pull this out. They start their big ATL/PHI roadie this week, while the Crew and Cards compete to see who can best rough up the Cubs and Astros.
-
Apparently if the ball crosses the plate before hitting the ground it's a strike today. Hope Yo gets the same low zone (and is able to take advantage of it).
-
The Brewers are very smart in that most of their close losses are by 2 runs. Keeps that one-run game record looking sporty.
-
Loe doing his part to take the heat off Casey, Yuni, et al in the 9th. As if they have much chance anyway.
-
Taking a day off won't end the steak by itself. But people are human and they need days off every once in a while, no matter what their line of work.
-
Assuming the 13th was a travel day after the ASG, Prince hasn't really had a day off since June 27.
-
Yep. Give the guy a couple days off.
-
Nice zone. Nice.
-
I'm was half-hoping that Casey didn't put the ball in play there. I'll settle for that.
-
He simply thought the ball got away farther than it did. Just a casualty of an over-agressive mindset. I really thought there could be some 2-out thunder there the way V's control was deserting him.
-
Walk, Prince bomb.
-
Give 'em the 'T'!
-
C'mon Eddie, send him to the plate!

Nyjer Morgan's "Altercation" with SF Fans during Friday's Game
pebadger replied to Bombers's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
The fact that the ump who felt he needed to say something was Joe West makes that a self-cancelling piece of evidence in this argument. -
http://brewersfandemonium...need-90-wins----division All numbers in that post were "after the AS break" numbers. With the Brewers almost done with a long road trip, their numbers start to look better. Cinci has now even fewer direct matchups with divisional contenders as they have already played 3 vs the Cards since the break. Pittsburgh has lots of tough games on the horizon. If they are still in good shape on August 15 they will likely be in the race all season.

Nyjer Morgan's "Altercation" with SF Fans during Friday's Game
pebadger replied to Bombers's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
I reject any hypothetical in which Soriano makes a good play in the outfield. I don't see what Morgan did wrong. I think it's pretty clear what he did was in reply to being ribbed out there and he probably thought it was just a playful "How do you like me now?" reply. There are no verifiable reports that he siad anything obscene or made any obscene gestures. It's funny how we rail on umpires for "making themsleves a bigger part of the game than they should be" when umpires are in fact a part of the game, yet fans can seemingly do whtever they want so long as they don't go onto the field or throw something onto the field and we tell the players that they just have to deal with it. Looks to me like this was a situation where the fans were giving it, but couldn't take it, and in fact made themselves out to be victims. I'm not a fan of shwoing off and the like at all, But the way Morgan has gone about what he does in this particular season is about as benign and acceptable as it gets. Even without a minor fandom dog in the fight I'd be on Morgan's side in this situation. The fact that we're even bothering to alk about it tends to support what I wrote in my last post on this thread. -
Agreed with the two previous posts. Hart is what he is, and that's a pretty solid everyday player. Guys like him are underrated by fans in the grand scheme of things. They make up the backbone of good teams.

Yuniesky Betancourt: What value does he bring to the team? (part 2)
pebadger replied to Oxy's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Yuni is easier to dislike, but McGehee has been worse, is easier (and likely cheaper) to replace and has shown not even a glimmer of turning it around (as Yuni has in a recent small sample). If the Crew can only upgrade half of the left side, I think it's a pretty easy vote to keep YB and replace CM. -
Nyjer Morgan's "Altercation" with SF Fans during Friday's Game
pebadger replied to Bombers's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Same fan base that defended Barry Bonds almost to the death? OK. Some guys are hiney-holes in terms of what they do to just draw attention to themselves. Other guys are good-natured and playful. To a large degree way too many folks have lost the ability to differentiate, in large part because too many benefit from turning everything into a "controversy". -
I have the Pirates and Reds schedules examined as well in a post back near the AS break. The Pirates are just starting a very key stretch as the crew is ending it. They have their big ATL/PHI roadie coming up after the home series with teh Cards this weekend. The Brewers have weathered the storm and now have a more home-friendly schedule. If the Pirates do the same on their trip August should really be something for all teams involved.

I have thought Hart has been losing a step for a couple of years. I've noticed it more in his outfield defense than anything. Coming in he is still fine. There have been ohter times when people have thought he looked lazy out there when he failed to get to balls that I attribute to losing a step (and not being an especially good route-runner either).

Really good win. I hate to say things may be turnign around because I don't want to jinx it.
