2012-04-30 Brewers (Wolf) at Padres (Wieland), 9:05 PM CDT [Brewers win, 8-3; 3 HR, 3B, 6 RBI for Braun]

[Raw Biz]

Think it may be time for Rickie to take a day or two off?

 

Not if the option is Izturis. Which means they need to bring up Conrad (or Green).

[dlk9s]

This pitcher for the Padres has a heck of a curveball.

 

And Dick Enberg is a heck of a bad baseball announcer.

Same with Wolf.

 

2012:

Rickie: 10.9% Line drives, 24.0% infield flys/fly balls

Yuni: 25.6% LD, 5.3% IFFB

[GormanHarvey]

Not saying it was catchable, but that was a "fun" route Nyjer took to that ball

[Raw Biz]

Anyone else think Morgan took a bad route to that? It looked like he drifted to his right a lot before going back.

[GormanHarvey]

Way to wiggle off the hook, Wolf

Gomez would have caught it, but he may be the only player in the league that could have. And possibly Bryce Cyborg Harper

[Glennron]

It's been a minor miracle so far if Wolf comes within two-three inches of his spot.

[Ennder]

Chris Shelton. He had 9 homers in the first 13 games. He had 9 more the rest of his career. Amazing.

 

Yeah, the funny thing is he was a decent prospect coming off of a good 1/3 of a season callup so there was reason to think that he was partially legit. But that torrid streak seemed to completely mess him up and he just never got back on track.

[dlk9s]

I know we all love complaining, but nobody in the league was going to catch that double. I mean, come on.

[topper09er]

Morgan practically took a BP fastball down the middle 2-0, what are you looking for up there? O a 2-1 slider, my fault.

[GormanHarvey]

There's the Brauny we know and love!

[Raw Biz]

I know we all love complaining, but nobody in the league was going to catch that double. I mean, come on.

 

No, but it looked like he still took a bad route, which he tends to do often.

[Glennron]

So many things about that home run were ridiculous. Opposite field at Petco at night. Wow.

[topper09er]

I wish he was a step slower just to see that play actually result in an out

[jason21nl]

Wow! That's a MANS home run

[GormanHarvey]

Exactly. The weird thing is I don't remember him taking that many bad routes last year. He's had plenty already this year

I can't stand watching Corey Hart play baseball 90% of the time. The 10% I don't mind is during his 3 game hot streaks that happen once every month or two.

Hart is a solid player, a top ~5 RF in all of baseball.

[GormanHarvey]

Gonzo!!

[Glennron]

Anyone else hold their breath as Gamel rounded third...

[Raw Biz]

Man, Gonzo's been a really nice addition this year. Expected him to be Yuni-esque at the plate but he's been better, plus awesome defense.

[hawing]

That is kind of more the Padres I anticipated seeing.

He has an OPS over 1.000 this season/month....that's a result of more than a 3 game hot streak. I understand he doesn't always look great when he strikes out, but he's been far and away the best hitter on the team this season.

Lets show the Cards how a double steal is done
