2011-04-27 Reds at Brewers - [Brewers lose, 7-6, 10 innings; pre- and post-game audio at tail end of thread]

[logan82]

Hate those base cloggers.

[dlk9s]

Fielder will always have a great OBP, but there should be a correction factor for how much he limits baserunning once he's on - having to go station to station when the bottom of the order comes up does limit run-scoring chances, especially in the NL when the pitcher's spot comes up often during RBI situtations.

To be fair, nobody would have made it to third from first on Hart's hit and Fielder had to hold up on YuBet's to make sure it got through.

[davemakovec]

Third on the list of active pitchers in career home runs is pretty close to the top.

 

I loved Betancourt's slide - that directly broke up the double play.

I'm not watching on TV, so that's probably correct - making an observation outside of last inning though. To me, having a guy like Fielder on base all the time should put a priority on having a slugging #6 hitter in the order like Hart.

 

 

[Raw Biz]

I knew he was in the top few. But what he said was he had to be at the top, if not the leader or something like that. I just don't know how anyone who follows baseball, especially a broadcaster, wouldn't know that Zambrano is easily the leader.

[PrinceEatMeat]

I really hope Yo can get through the 6th without trouble. I'd have some ready to go as insurance. He's rebounded pretty nicely though. Never thought he'd go 6 today, but he might.

[TwinsBrewersWorldSeries]

Would really be nice to Braunie to get #24 this inning. Preferably a three run jack

[topper09er]

BUNT GOMEZ

[dlk9s]

No worries. The Brewers will score 10 before the Reds score another run.

I just hope its today and not the next two days combined. (though not having the reds score for two days would be awesome.

5 today and 5 tomorrow would be fine with me.

[GoudaBrew]

This is the first time I've thought to watch the game on MLBtv while listening to the WTMJ broadcast on Gameday. When Bob is doing the play-by-play it matches up perfectly, but Corey is clearly a little quicker on the call.

 

HA! Castro checking his glove for holes I think!

[derflotr]

I actually don't mind the Reds announcers. There's a lot worse out there.

[TwinsBrewersWorldSeries]

Lets go BRAUN *clap*

[logan82]

Was Gomez really trying to sac bunt or was he trying to get a hit?

[rluzinski]

It's a negative, certainly but baserunnimg in general is a distant third in terms of runs, compared to offense and defense.

[umphrey]

This game is on pace for almost 4 hours... does LeCure work really slow? Not watching on TV.

[derflotr]

For a guy who throws a ton of strikes LeCure sure works slow.

[TwinsBrewersWorldSeries]

There it is! 24 straight games. Would have preferred a go-ahead jack, but i'll take it

[davemakovec]

That's one way to keep the on-base streak alive.

[Dragonbait]

dlk9s...... you might be on to something.....

[PrinceEatMeat]

Not the best way to do it, but congrats Braunie! And sweet we tied the game. Again, not the best way, but I'll take it.

[pretendastronaut]

Really thought Prince had a down the line double there. Good work by Votto.

[derflotr]

Casey's BABIP has to be low this season...gotta look that up.

Guess not, .329. Either way it seems like he's had a lot of hard outs.

[topper09er]

Just when they put Renteria at SS he throws away the lead. Nice

[davemakovec]

I was wondering why they didn't just double-switch out the third baseman - Janish is a much better fielder than Renteria.

There is no explaining the mind of Dusty Baker. Dusty is as Dusty does

 

man, it'd be good to get a win today
