brutal

[hurricanecrush]

No Bill. all he had to do was pick it up and throw to first.

[Raw Biz]

Or just field it and throw to 1st Schroeder. Forget the tag.

[owbc]

Oh dear.

 

And now Albert. And he is way overdue.

[theavrock]

You idiot Yuni. Get the ball and throw out the runner. So dumb.

[natronek8780]

You just have to make that play Yuni. This is not winning baseball.

[bucksman4]

Walkoff time? He's due.

[TauPentaRei]

uh oh; hide the gasoline & matches

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

Unreal

[topper09er]

It is illegal

I don't think it is when there are no runners on base and you can call it your wind-up. Maybe I'm wrong though.

There is an actual thing called a quick pitch which just means you cant pitch when the hitter is not ready

[brettac1]

Absolutely, utterly, awfully, Betancourt.

[dlk9s]

It is illegal

From the MLB rulebook:

 

"Rule 8.01(b) Comment: With no runners on base, the pitcher is not required to come to a

complete stop when using the Set Position. If, however, in the umpire’s judgment, a pitcher delivers

the ball in a deliberate effort to catch the batter off guard, this delivery shall be deemed a quick pitch,

for which the penalty is a ball. See Rule 8.05(e) Comment."

 

"Rule 8.05(e) Comment: A quick pitch is an illegal pitch. Umpires will judge a quick pitch as one

delivered before the batter is reasonably set in the batter’s box. With runners on base the penalty is a

balk; with no runners on base, it is a ball. The quick pitch is dangerous and should not be permitted."

 

So, it is and isn't allowed. It's really just up to the umpire.

[Mr QL]

ughhhhh our defense is so brutal

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

Hawk...you are one cool dude.

[markedman5]

way to pick him up Hawk!

[ReverendBrewmeister]

Free baseball. Don't waste the opportunity.

[Mr QL]

phew we lucked out there

 

SCORE SOME FREAKIN RUNS

[bucksman4]

Yes!!

[strawbossisevil]

Wow. Just. Wow.

[theavrock]

Bring in Ax. This is the biggest part of the game. Seriously hate how managers are so set in the "roles" thing.

[sargennm]

Yeah, classic Brewers road loss/Cardinals home win.

 

EDIT: Or not. Thank god.

[LaprilOne]

Yeah, classic Brewers road loss/Cardinals home win.

 

Not yet, not yet.

[GB12]

Alright, so clearly it worked out there, but why not walk Pujols in that situation?

[pebadger]

Good for Hawkins.

 

Tonight's extra baseball is brought to you by Milwaukee's defense.

 

Thanks Brewers defense!

[FVBrewerFan]

I was screaming pitch-out on that 0-2 pitch, just knew Furcal was running.
