Prince may be big but he ALWAYS runs hard

 

 

Agreed. It can be easy to criticize the big guy for defensive woes, the inability to throw home, etc, but one qualitative area you can't knock is his hustle. Throughout his career here he has pretty much always run hard every time.

 

Bah, our winning ways is turning me into a softy....

UGH! The brewers must have the worst official scorer in all of baseball. Not a single fricken call ever goes the brewers way. I'm sure that if a brewers pitcher had a no hitter going with two out in the ninth and a slow roller is hit to prince and he completely blows it the official scorer would probably still rule it a hit! Sorry for the rant..I'm just frustrated.. C Hart is on my fantasy team too..so much for that hit..

This is presumably about Prince Fielder's 22nd year playing baseball, and I think he has yet to figure out the first baseman isn't the only defender on the right side of the infield. Clearly it didn't matter there but it seems like every other game he's poaching on balls that are clearly going to the second baseman.

He does. He seems to really care about being a complete player, and I have a lot of respect for that. As someone said earlier, it's not Prince's fault he's pretty much the definition of a DH.

 

As someone who does not doubt the Brewers' ability to replace Prince as a ballplayer, I'm really going to miss watching Prince and Braun hit consecutively every night.
