2012-04-23 Astros (Harrell) at Brewers (Greinke), 7:10 PM CDT [Brewers win, 6-5]

[Schlitz001]

Rickie sliding into bases makes me nervous for Rickie.

[GormanHarvey]

Nothing makes me more nervous that watching Weeks catching pop ups

For me, it's nerve-wracking to watch Rickie run hard to first - after watching his ankle sprain live last summer.

 

Yes, that too. He's already had a couple of instances where he stretched on his last stride to reach the bag, similar to the way he did when he was injured.

[cnycerveceros]

Let's add on a few.

[FVBrewerFan]

Still get nervous on grounders to the left side, honestly forget for a second that Yuni and Mcgehee aren't over there anymore.

[cnycerveceros]

I was thinking: that used to be a triple. Nice running Hart.

[Yeti73]

Sadly, I'm more concerned by Rickie at bat than in the field. He's an above average fielder. Sadly, since his injury last year, he's a below average hitter.

[BradWI]

Going to miss playing these guys a bunch of times each season.

[GormanHarvey]

2 walks for Sea Bass...wow

[Funketown]

2 walks for Sea Bass...wow

 

Out of curiosity, where does the nickname Sea Bass come from, if anybody knows? He doesn't look much like Cam Neely.

Not sure if he's above average, but I didn't really mean it in that way. In my head I know he will most likely catch said pop ups, its just he always looks somewhat uncomfortable/skakey/sloppy on them. He uses a tiny glove and always catches them with one hand, usually with a lot of ball showing.

I guess his former teammates in Florida gave him the nickname because he looks like a sea bass. Maybe one of the GIF masters on here can hook us up with some evidence...

[stalton]

We needed that strikeout!!

 

Edit: and that one too

 

Edit2: and that one as well despite the run given up

[FVBrewerFan]

No excuse for that, man is Greinke stubborn

[hawing]

Phew, Zack.

[Raw Biz]

Honestly wouldn't mind Green being on the team and getting some starts at 2B. Weeks just looks awful.

[GormanHarvey]

What a rope!

[FVBrewerFan]

Weeks may need a day off, might do wonders.

[endaround]

Weeks last 7 days

.217 .333 .478

Weeks may need a day off, might do wonders.

If only this bases-loaded opportunity could help Rickie out (and the Brewers).

[endaround]

Making outs at home...

[dlk9s]

Wow. Great job by the Astros' catcher to stand his ground there. Nice try by Gamel, too.

[brettac1]

Gamel is going to get plunked for that.

[pebadger]

Roger Goodell is going to send Gamel a letter about that one.

[jjkoestler]

Why would he get plunked? There was nothing dirty about that play.

[ELCABALLO45]

Making outs at home...

 

Which took a perfect throw from Carlos Lee, CARLOS LEE and the catcher to hang onto the ball with Gamel unloading on him.
