2011-06-21 Rays (Hellickson) at Brewers (Greinke) - [Brewers win, 5-1]

[dlk9s]

Gotta love the MLB.com live look-in ending with bases loaded.

[PrinceEatMeat]

Wow, we've had some incredible patience from the top of our order the last 2 days. Lots of walks. Need someone to cash in tonight though.

[logan82]

To bad Morgan gave up an out.

[owbc]

At least we got one out of this--without a hit.

[ilovebeer]

I take a sac fly from Casey any day.

[PrinceEatMeat]

Well, that sucks. At least they got a run. Would've been nice if Hart got a hit there.

[pebadger]

That half-inning makes me sad. They were fortunate to even score there.

 

Edit: Ump keeps giving Greinke this strike zone and 1 should be all they need.

[ReverendBrewmeister]

This team really does need some "Jeff Cirillo/Mark Loretta" type hitters.

 

Looks like Green and Gamel may have that potential. Unfortunately, it will be 2012 until they get playing time in the majors.........

[logan82]

We don't need a certain"type" of player, we just need to get a couple hitters better than Betancourt and Kotsay.

[greeg35]

Love BA "subtly" defending batternineyousucky by pointing out other shortstops bad batting averages.

[jjgott]

Yuni Bomb. Thanks dude.

[ReverendBrewmeister]

Betancourt HR. Blind pigs and acorns?

[pebadger]

That only counts as half a run here at BF.net.

[stalton]

It took the brewers 5 players and 0 at bats to score a run in the first, but 1 player and 1 at bat to score a run in the 2nd...Nice jack Yuni

[trwi7]

Betancourt has done a nice job defensively.

 

-Brian

 

Mute time.

[ilovebeer]

umm i am still in shock Yuni hit a homerun.

[logan82]

They finally get around to giving Weeks some credit.

[jeffy]

Betancourt's been pretty consistent at the plate, consistently bad.

 

Nice to see some inconsistency tonight.

[Schlitz001]

umm i am still in shock Yuni hit a homerun.

Me too. I've never seen him hit one before.

[greeg35]

it was just another lazy fly ball gone wrong

[dlk9s]

That half-inning makes me sad. They were fortunate to even score there.

I don't know why it's sad. They did a good job getting on base via the walk and then McGehee did what he needed to do to get a run home. Just because some guys get on base doesn't mean the next guy is going to smack one off the wall.

[jjgott]

Agree with BA, strange to go to an MLB game to play some video games.

[mtrebs]

Is there really wifi at Miller Park? I've never been able to find an unsecure connection.

[Baldkin]

I don't mind Morgan bunting, he's bunting for a hit and he's darn good at it.

 

As for Weeks.... I saw this earlier on fangraphs... from the start of 2010 through this morning...
