It's hard to blame Gamel for that. He hasn't played third in a year and now the Brewers are throwing him into the fire. He spent all his time concentrating on third, gets called up to DH and then they say oh, now go play third.

Gamel has also hinted as heavily as one in his position can that Green can play 3B and he can't

Those two runs are on Gamel, not on Greinke. The defense hasn't exactly helped Greinke all that much this year.

No its on Melvin for forcing him to play a position that he hasn't played in forever. And its on Grienke for backing himself in to a corner. He hit a batter and walked another.

Our defense is not good, but that ball to Gamel was a rocket. Range and misplaying balls have not been the issue

Sorry if this has already been mentioned, but I'm too lazy to go through all the posts. Who is the announcer with Brian? He is pretty terrible.
Jeff Cirillo. And are you serious? He's about a million times better than Rock. He is the one who is terrible. Cirillo offers good insight, and doesn't sugar coat and make excuses for everything.

Would McGehee have made the play at 3rd?

 

As for Gamel not having played 3rd in a year or so, what does that have to do with getting a glove on a ground ball?

The play was right at Gamel and the ball ate him up. McGehee would have made it. The point is Gamel is completely uncomfortable at 3B

I'm not sure if McGehee would have made it. It was a tough play.

 

Gamel sucks at 3rd and he is not a 3rd baseman. He hasn't worked on playing 3rd. I think that would have quite a bit to do with him not getting to a hard hit ball in the hole.

Cirillo just doesn't have a very good announcing voice. I agree that he provides good insight (and do prefer him to Schroeder)...but he just doesn't have a strong voice. Doesn't feel like he should be announcing games.

I guess I'm pretty pessimistic with almost all announcers, and I agree, Bill doesn't offer much for analysis unless its about making excuses for horrible plays and decisions.

 

I agree, I think the voice has a lot to do with it.

Jeff does a nice job. Espically if you consider how much he has been behing the mic compared to Rock.
Agreed. It may be easier to become a more polished speaker than to actually get smarter about baseball.

 

Rickie! He seems to be taking Bill Hall's place as Red killer.

 

Also - the chat room is working for me at the moment. Come celebrate that small miracle if you'd like.

Remember: the Brewers never panic like you do.
