2011-04-17 Brewers (Estrada) at Nationals (Hernandez) - Game 2 - 4:15 PM CDT [Brewers lose, 5-1]

Nice to put those 3 hits together with 2 outs.

[cheesecup22]

Nice. Really good to see those hits strung together like that..

[PrinceEatMeat]

... And Betancourt gets a hit! Nice!

[GormanHarvey]

Yuni B seems rather comfortable facing a fellow Cuban!

[WisconsinSportsRule]

I hate when Betancourt swings at the first pitch except there http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

[ilovebeer]

wow nice job Benticourt, to be honest i am shocked.

[PrinceEatMeat]

C'mon McGehee, what the heck are you doing? At least slide there. Good thing he wasn't out.

[ilovebeer]

all with 2 outs.

[bucksman4]

A "Let's Go Brewers" chant on the road?? I like it.

[crewcrazy]

Something I didn't expect to see when I looked it up -- Yuni's BABIP was only .220 heading into today.

[GormanHarvey]

The strike 1 call on gomez was ridiculous

[PrinceEatMeat]

Almonte FAIL #2

[umphrey]

Almonte is useless

[WisconsinSportsRule]

Almonte in RF is a joke.

[jason21nl]

I'm sick and tired of seeing our right fielders when Morgan is not out there. Neither Almonte or Kotsay should be on this team

[Glennron]

That's fine if you're too slow to catch it, but keep it in front of you man.

[crewcrazy]

Morgan can't play, otherwise he likely would have started one of these games. He has big numbers in his career against both Marquis and Hernandez.

 

The more I see Almonte in right, though, the more I think it's a possibility the Brewers keep 3 catchers even after Hart returns. Almonte has nowhere to play defensively and hasn't shown anything with the bat.

[umphrey]

As terrible in the field as Almonte and Kotsay are you have to remember they are our #5 and #6 outfielders

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

Espinoza didn't need to lean into it with 3 balls.

 

Nice play Casey.

[jason21nl]

Nice play Casey!

[PrinceEatMeat]

I want Boggs! No more Almonte or Kotsay.

[ttsather]

Ankiel was apparently watching Major League between games. I feel like we wouldn't be real happy with that choice if it was our batter.

EDIT: Thank you ump for not making the "ball beat him" call. Nice work.

[PrinceEatMeat]

WOW, great slide by Braun there. Ump was right on it. Great call!

[stalton]

whether or not he was actually safe, that was an incredible athletic move to even get a chance of being safe

That's no excuse to be complete hacks out there
