2011-05-18 Brewers (Gallardo) at Padres (Moseley) - [Brewers win, 5-2]

Um wow. That ball was crushed and it still didn't get out. Kotsay run tally = +1

[topper09er]

In 2010, Corey Hart had 7 stolen bases and was caught 6 times. So 50% isn't that unreasonable, although if you consider the game situation maybe he had a 2/3 chance of stealing the base.

 

But my point is that the Brewers shouldn't be stealing with Braun at the plate. That's a valid criticism.

Hart is 67% for his career. Also the Padres have thrown out 26% of runners this season which is 10th in the NL.

 

[owbc]

Wow, what a bomb by Kotsay! And now they are walking Betancourt. Have we entered some alternate dimension?

[ilovebeer]

brand new game nice job Kotsey

[Mr QL]

Lucroy has got to make teams pay for intentionally walking guys to get to him

[UeckerAddict]

Yuni is getting walked!!!! I love it. Yeah, it sets up the DP, but I had no confidence that Yuni would have driven in the run anyway.

[ilovebeer]

are they crazy walking Yinu.

[theavrock]

Walking YuBet to get to Lucroy. Trying to get the DP I guess, but an interesting decision.

[bucksman4]

are they crazy walking Yinu.

Yuni sure wanted to swing at that first intentional BB pitch...

[topper09er]

Bud Black should be fired for IBBing Y Badatsports

[WisconsinSportsRule]

That's about the only way Yuni's OBP is going to go up.

 

Oh, and I'm now convinced that McGehee is slower than Prince. I thought they might be close, but that's not the case anymore.

[GamelToe]

I'd rather they pitch to Yuni. He's almost a lock to fly out to center, then we hope McGehee can somehow tag up. I like those odds better than Lucroy..

[ttsather]

This is bizarro baseball.

[owbc]

Ok you guys win, it was acceptable for Hart to run there. But it gives me much pain to see him get caught with Braun at the plate.

[UeckerAddict]

Yeah, how Casey didn't score on that..........wow.

[rluzinski]

That's why intentionally walking the bases loaded is pretty much always a losing strategy.

[UeckerAddict]

Ha! That wasn't even close.

[Mr QL]

hit a grand slam Yo, you're due

[bucksman4]

Keep intentional walking our lowest OBP guy on the team...

[Yeti73]

are they crazy walking Yinu.

Yuni sure wanted to swing at that first intentional BB pitch...

 

Funny because it's true

[rluzinski]

Why the hell is Yo up here? So he can MAYBE pitch one more inning? Stupid.

[ilovebeer]

nice way to get the lead.

[GamelToe]

Chris Dickerson just got hit in the head. Looked intentional.

[UeckerAddict]

The Padres just called that a safety squeeze. How can you safety squeeze with the bases loaded???????

[Fear The Chorizo]

Is RR trying to keep this game close? Why not Boggs in this spot?
