2011-07-04 Diamondbacks at Brewers -- [Brewers give away 6-1 leads on consecutive days, lose 8-6]

[owbc]

The Pirates closer, Hanrahan, leads the majors in saves with 25. Who would have thought that the Pirates would win enough games for that ever to happen this late in the year?

[Oldcity]

Micah Owings is still getting mileage out of being a good hitting pitcher I see.

[Oldcity]

I've never seen a first baseman just miss a throw. I've seen Fielder do it about five times in his career.

[Hammer]

Have I mentioned that I can't wait for Fielder to take his "defense" with him in FA?

[jason21nl]

the defense played by these guys is totally inexcusable, along with Hart not running hard to first

[pebadger]

Boo hoo. It's a day game. Catch teh ball. And nice hustle from C Hart in right backing up that play. Shouldn't he be in shallow anyway in this situation?

[jason21nl]

Hart is the slowest, fast guy in the league.

[markedman5]

Haudricourt #Brewers 1B Prince Fielder just committed his sixth error in his last 15 games. Missed a pickoff throw by Marcum right to him.

[saxyman1004]

I can't help but feel that if that happened on the road the Brewers would be down 4 runs by now.

[jason21nl]

I can't help but think that Greinke serves up a dinger after an error and a walk in that situation

[markedman5]

Nice job by Marcum to overcome the ineptitude

[markedman5]

an extra base hit from Casey........wow i remember those from years past!

[jason21nl]

atta boy Casey! Good start to the inning

[Hammer]

I can't help but think that Greinke serves up a dinger after an error and a walk in that situation

Whoa...we agree on something!

[Hammer]

Luc seems pissed that McGehee didn't score there. Keeps looking at 3rd, shaking his head and saying nasty words...

[stoutdude04]

What a terrible strike zone today. For both teams. Im glad Chipper called the umps out again...just bad...caught a break there. Wow

[pebadger]

Boy this ump's zone is tight. Lots of very solid strikes called balls so far.

 

How Casey was safe on that, or why he was even running, I have no idea.

[markedman5]

What a break.......lol

[jason21nl]

my goodness I HATE the safety squeeze. I don't care that we Casey was safe that was a stupid decision

[topper09er]

Wow a 1B throwing worse than Fielder?

[liveforoctober]

Horrible base running... but we'll take it.

[stoutdude04]

Its not a tight zone...its just bad.

[Schlitz001]

I guess it's not a surprise to see RR suicide squeeze with McGehee on 3rd in the 3rd inning. Frustrating, even when it happens to work, by way of bad defense.

[stoutdude04]

my goodness I HATE the safety squeeze. I don't care that we Casey was safe that was a stupid ass decision

I think Casey went on his own. It looked like Miranda was going to go to 2. Whoevers choice it was it was a terrible decision that worked out.

 

[COBrewerfan]

You force the defense to make a perfect play to get you. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. I am not sure how you look at plays like that as stupid. Worst case is you have two on with 1 out, just as you did before.
