2011-08-15 Dodgers (Lilly) at Brewers (Wolf) - [Brewers win, 3-0: 3 HR, 4 DP, 1 triple play]


our D is UNREAL tonight. i expect both the triple play and JHJ diving catch to be in the top 5 on sports center 2night. easily triple play will be #1 web gem
I MISSED A TRIPLE PLAY?

 

That's the last time I let my wife go to book club and leave me to get the kids down to bed by myself on a game night.

The quote Jack Black in Tenacious D - The search for inspirado.

 

"always press record, always press record."

 

I would link the video, but there are naughty words. Also in the clip the line, sometimes you have to run with the Wolves, seems appropriate.

I wonder if this is what it's like to watch as a Dodger fan when I watch Zack G. pitching in the 60's with me belly laughing at the opposing batters.

I think the difference is Greinke throws his slow curve a couple times a game as an out pitch. Lilly throws it three times per at bat.

I don't have any numbers historically, but the Brewers seem to not get a lot of runs against the slow-ball lefties. Maybe because they rely on the fastball to crank out of the park, or that their lineup doesn't pass up on a ball over the plate. They get a bit too anxious and roll over on the curve instead of waiting back on it and dumping it into the outfield.

Well... does Thome's 600th overtake the triple play for #1 on Sportscenter? ... regardless congrats Jim, well done.

I say yes. They tend to make monumental things like that #1.

I don't know how they arrange the top plays on SC, but Thome's feat is certainly much more rare then the triple play.
