2012-04-24 Astros (Norris) at Brewers (Wolf), 7:10 PM CDT [Brewers win, 9-6]

How long's that Ramirez contract? Ouch.

[FVBrewerFan]

To be fair, he hasn't been on base much this year, he may not know the rules anymore.

[GormanHarvey]

Good inning Wolfy

[FVBrewerFan]

Well, now I know which commercial will drive me nuts for the next 6 months.

[GormanHarvey]

Ishy!!

[cnycerveceros]

Slick.

[rluzinski]

It's sad that our backup 1B is batting 8th even with the platoon advantage but I will certainly take that HR!

 

Not relevant today but Gamel can hit 6th everyday too. He is hitting lefties at a better clip than RHP.

 

We can certainly debate where Gamel should bat in the lineup against LHP but quoting a split from less than a month's worth of AB's doesn't et us any closer to answering the question.

I must be bad luck for the Crew. Turn the TV to cartoons for the kid, and Ish hits a two run shot. I am just going to follow games online and on the message board the rest of the year! Nice work Ish

[GamelToe]

Nice to see Nyjer getting it going.

[adambr2]

Crap Braun...would have been really nice to get at least one more there.

[GormanHarvey]

Braun following up a nice night with some pretty weak at bats.

[cnycerveceros]

Braun did hit the ball hard in the first, right up the middle.

[GormanHarvey]

Really Braun?!

[cnycerveceros]

Braun also hit the ground hard, just now.

[cnycerveceros]

That reminded me of the Yount catch in the no-hitter. Sort of.

[brettac1]

The first thing that came out of my mouth watching Braun start to dive was "ewwww".

[pebadger]

I usually defend Braun's defense against some of the harsher criticism, but that simply wasn't good at all. Bad angle, bad dive. I guess at the point that he dove there was nothing to lose because it was going to the wall regardless dur to the path he took.

[adambr2]

Wolf is becoming the new Doug Davis. Just so slow and painful to watch.

[pebadger]

That reminded me of the Yount catch in the no-hitter. Sort of.

 

Thumbs up. Quality comedic comment right there.

No. That ball was going to the wall no matter what.

[dlk9s]

That reminded me of the Yount catch in the no-hitter. Sort of.

My brother and I used to mimic Yount's catch by catching a ball and then after a delay, diving on the bed.

[GormanHarvey]

I guess at the point that he dove there was nothing to lose because it was going to the wall regardless dur to the path he took.

 

No. That ball was going to the wall no matter what.

 

No way. He cut straight over on a ball he had zero chance of catching. If he angles back like he should've, its probably a single.

[adambr2]

For being the complete butcher that everyone seems to think Kottaras is behind the plate, he sure looks solid behind there tonight.

[dlk9s]

I guess at the point that he dove there was nothing to lose because it was going to the wall regardless dur to the path he took.

 

No. That ball was going to the wall no matter what.

 

No way. He cut straight over on a ball he had zero chance of catching. If he angles back like he should've, its probably a single.

 

Nope. That ball was hit way too hard for him to circle around it.

[pebadger]

I guess at the point that he dove there was nothing to lose because it was going to the wall regardless dur to the path he took.

 

No. That ball was going to the wall no matter what.

 

Probably, but I thought he had a chance to cut it off before the wall if he took a better route. Hard to tell on TV. I don't think he ever had a shot at catching it because Carlos smoked it, but I thought he might have had a shot at saving a run.

 

Nice job by Wolfie to hold it to one run.
