2011-05-16 Brewers (Marcum) at Dodgers (Garland) - [Brewers win, 2-1]

Rickie Weeks is an All-Star 2B if I ever saw one.

 

+1

Guess I am not sure what the problem with Betancourt is. I'd like to see more of Counsell too, but that ball was a rocket back to the mound that Garland played very well. Just as easily could have been a single up the middle.

Coming into tonight: .228/.250/.331/.581. That's not bad, that's terrible. And that's not to mention his lack of range of defense.

True. Guess I should have said tonight.

If you're gonna jump on someone that inning it should be Yuni. That ball needed to be on the right side of the diamond. He hit it hard, but the bottom line is that he didn't do his job.

[theavrock]

Nice to see a quick 6th for Marcum there. Should be able to get 7 or 8 out of him tonight and set the bullpen up the rest of the road trip.

The Bulldog is dealing again today.

[SenatorShriv]

Garland is up to 95 pitches. It would be great if Braun and Prince can knock him out of the game.

[SenatorShriv]

I guess they decided not to risk it!

I am not a big Carlos fan.

Agree. Not to get too off topic, but a point of comparison for the Yuni defenders. Admittedly Yuni has a small sample size (although not that small), but during their careers as Brewers:

Yuniesky Betancourt: .581 OPS

Chad Moeller: .576 OPS

Just saying.

Yuniesky Betancourt: .581 OPS

Chad Moeller: .576 OPS

Just saying.

 

Moeller's cycle easily makes up the 5 points

Last season Braun didn't hit well at home and he did on the road and this year he is hitting well at home and not a the road.

[bucksman4]

Interesting note from Scully. Braun is hitting .220 from the 7th inning on.

[Fear The Chorizo]

Hart is useless - can we see more of Kotsay in right, please?

[umphrey]

I really don't think this will be a 2-1 game so our offense better be ready to go

[PrinceEatMeat]

Marcum starting out with another rocky 7th inning here.

[Oldcity]

This has the making of a frustrating game. They've outplayed them.

I know I'm late to the party, but my God... LA has Carroll and Miles hitting 1-2??

[theavrock]

That was big. Let's get the DP now.

[BuckyBrewer61]

Gorgeous pitch from Marcum there. Thank you for not bunting Mattingly.

[PrinceEatMeat]

Beautiful job getting out of that Marcum. Hopefully Loe and Ax can close this out now. I'd consider leaving Marcum in there, but they'll probably have to pinch-hit for him.

[theavrock]

Gritty as can be! Love Marcum bearing down there. Let's wake up the bats here.

[rluzinski]

It's really fun to watch a guy like Marcum paint the corners. I love that a guy with his skill set can more than just succeed at the major league level.

[SenatorShriv]

Wow. Marcum looked good bailing himself out of that inning. Still don't understand why they didn't bunt with nobody out.

[razzzorsharp]

Nice start from Marcum. I would be happy with one more run this game.

[ilovebeer]

Shaun nice job getting out off that mess.

[stoutdude04]

Yuni is hard to watch.
