2009-05-01 Diamondbacks (Garland) at Brewers (Parra): 7:05 PM CDT [Brewers lose, 5-2]

Where the hell did that curveball miss? It was right down the middle.

[jeffy]

edit. I can't be the only one who's intimidated by setting up an IGT?

Clearly http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

and it took half a game before someone was willing to break the rules.

Braun swung at a bad pitch to strike out, Cameron struck out looking on a marginal pitch but one you have to swing at. Fielder just swung through a pitch. Garland is locating decently but he is never really 'dealing'. He doesn't have good enough stuff to deal~.

 

The guy had excellent location throughout most of the night. He got a few calls in the 5th. I'll grant you, our 3-4-5 guys made him look good in the 6th. He looked very strong 1-4...outstanding location. Maybe not 100 mph fastballs, but I'd call it dealing.

[jeffy]

I really like the willingness of Macha to make mid inning pitching changes. With the previous administration it would usually have to already be a disaster before that would happen.

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

I love Fisher using the windmill at third. I thought he was out with a good throw, but so many times the throw isn't good. Here it was good and Billy still somehow gets a hand in there. I like the aggressiveness. Nice job Fish!!!

[trwi7]

Unreal. A 40 foot RBI single.

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

Wow...now that stinks. It's a shame CV let them off the hook after 2 outs. He's done that a few times this year.

[thablingster]

That is a terrible blown save for Coffey, and by terrible I mean ridiculous he's gotta be stuck with it. A 45 foot run scoring swinging bunt. Awesome.

 

The way Hall looked at it was pretty funny though. Hunker down here on Clark, ... or not. Yikes.

[trwi7]

Unbelievably awful call.

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

Great...what a horrendous call.

[jeffy]

even more unreal a 2 run foul ball.

 

Isn't the foul line a boundary and subject to replay?

[thablingster]

Ken Macha should walk out into the outfield, stand there, and point at the spot until he gets ejected. I'd do it.

[cheesecup22]

thats awful. cost us a game.

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

Why isn't Braun out there pointing at the divot? They should be raising some serious heck.

[ELCABALLO45]

What a horrible call. Unbelivable. The Ump could of just cost us a game.

[Mr QL]

ugh

 

what the heck is instant replay for

 

this game is a farce

[derflotr]

So replay is used when?

[danzig6767]

So replay is used when?

Only on disputed home runs

[pretendastronaut]

The guys on MLB Network thought for a second that you could look at that with instant replay, but were quickly corrected.

[jeffy]

I guess it has to be a home run.

So is this going to be one of those plays so scrutinized MLB has to make it eligible for replay? I mean, if it was a game in a market like Philly or NY no question, but is an ARI/MIL game going to get the same attention?

[TuesdaysWithRillo]

Can't they show the ump that huge divot in the ground that is left of the foul line?

[pretendastronaut]

I don't think it'll merit any national controversy, especially to the tune of changing the replay rules. And honestly, despite being burned by the human elements of the game, I'm on the side of not making everything replay worthy.

[jeffy]

I think the problem is if the call was "foul" and then it is reviewed and reversed, they would have to guess what should have happened.

[SeriesFinale]

I mean, I know that the Brewers have benefitted from some calls this season (Yo's strike zone Wednesday, etc), but that was completely egregious.

 

TWR is right--you don't even need replay for that, get the umps together and show them the divot. I thought they could overturn stuff after discussion, but I'm probably wrong.
