2012-04-19 Dodgers (Harang) at Brewers (Wolf), 12:10 PM CDT [Brewers lose, 4-3]

[Nottso]

I picture Doug Melvin saying "Hairston" much like Jerry Seinfeld would say "Newman".

[dlk9s]

The Dodgers announcers said that Wright has made an MLB roster out of spring training as a non-roster invitee for 7 straight seasons. Wow.

[topper09er]

If it comes to it please do not let Parra face Kemp

[3and2Fastball]

why oh why Jerry Hairston?! If only we had overpaid for you, sir....

[pebadger]

No matter how this ends up it's been a heck of an early-season series. Not perfect baseball, but pretty high-level and the imperfections have only added to the appeal of the games.

[topper09er]

3-1 just throw the ball right down the middle to Dee Gordon, come on

[topper09er]

get Dillard out of there, you cant walk Ellis in front of Kemp with 2 outs

[3and2Fastball]

that was pretty much an incredible play by Weeks blocking the base like that. Yet another example of MLB players doing absolutely amazing things that look pretty simple

[topper09er]

If Dillard goes 2-0 just IBB Kemp

[3and2Fastball]

wait a minute. Is Tim Dillard actually pitching to Matt Kemp in the 9th inning if a one run ball-game?

 

Seriously?

[pebadger]

3 days in a row, coming up.

[topper09er]

nice job getting out of it by Dillard, why didnt he just pitch like that to Ellis? Kottaras is out of the game so its not looking good

[dlk9s]

Seriously?

 

You were saying?

[pebadger]

Dillard had to strike him out with 4 strikes, too. Ump missed the 3rd pitch of that AB.

Do you offer seminars to train folks like me on the finer points of your baseball mindset?

[dlk9s]

What a terrible call by the ump on Aoki there.

[topper09er]

Horrible from Aoki, works a 3-1 count and then chases 2 fastballs clearly out of the zone

[reillymcshane]

why did ishikawa bunt? I'm only seeing the game on espn, so i don't have audio or anything. was it a good try? Or just silly?

[MVP2110]

So is it me or should we have had 2 on and no out to start the inning. Off the replay looked like Loney left the base on Ishikawa and then Aoki should have drawn the walk. Thanx blue

[Bigblast]

2 out of 3 isnt bad. The Dodgers came in really hot. Very competitive Games all 1 run games. Lets hope this series is a big turn for the brewers.

Loney stayed on the bag. No idea how he made that call on the Aoki tip though.

 

edit: i just rewound to the super slo mo replay (after Aoki's at bat had started) and I think I see what you're saying about Loney. His toe stayed on the ground really really close to the bag, but he might have lifted the ball of his foot off of it. Very close, and no way the brewers get that call. Aoki still should have walked though.

It was a terrific bunt, but not enough to overcome his lack of speed or JHJ's superb barehanded pickup. Can't fault him...it was bang bang.

Good bunt, better play by Hairston.

[MVP2110]

I know theres no way the ump makes that call but thats why their should be replay. But i guess it evens out after last night and yea that was a horrible call on Aoki

[JohnBriggs12]

What a terrible call by the ump on Aoki there.

 

He wanted to make sure he caught an early flight. This crew hates working overtime.
