2012-05-04 Brewers (Greinke) at Giants (Lincecum), 9:15 PM CDT [Brewers win, 6-4]

[adambr2]

Whew. That definitely looked like a 3-3 game off the bat.

[chickinbrickin]

The way the game started I didnt think I would be glad to see lincecum go

[adambr2]

If every ball that Rock says is "a homerun in most ballparks" really was, most players would average around 50 HR's per season.

[chickinbrickin]

Good thing luc bats behind gonz

[pebadger]

It's a *really* gutsy call. I've seen Ishikawa bunt.

[phnxcrew]

I remember when corey was fast

[PrinceEatMeat]

I remember when corey was fast

 

Yeah, it's like his speed completely vanished over the last few years. Another reason to give him some time at 1B.

Giants announcer on Melky Cabrera foul ball on the 3B side:

 

"Could be playable... Although Ramirez decided that it's not... He was waiting for somebody else to get there."

 

Cabrera follows with an RBI triple and a run scored.

[PrinceEatMeat]

In other news, time to pull Greinke.

[PrinceEatMeat]

He was safe, but I'll take it. Shocked he wasn't ejected.

[Ennder]

Nice play Aramis, he was safe though and I'll take it!

That's awesome. He wasn't going to get to it, but he basically showed no effort. Pretty sad. The kind of thing that could actually affect team culture eventually, IMO.

[Glennron]

Makes up for that terrible strike call to Aramis back in the third inning. But yeah, that was pretty awful.

[valpocrewsader]

Weeks, c'mon. You gotta be kidding me. Softball players make that play.

[ELCABALLO45]

Wow Rickie, that's really bad.

[Marc Newfield of Dreams]

This is fun, aina?

[PrinceEatMeat]

We're lucky we got that out call at 1B. Either way though, Weeks needs to make that play. Ugh.

[TURBO]

I don't really want to open up a can of worms here, but is Greinke really the kind of pitcher we want to sign to a long term, big bucks type of contract that could cripple us in the future?

 

I want to believe in the guy, I really do, but he is sometimes so unspectacular, it worries me to tie up a ton of cash in him.

There's absolutely no way I'd sign him to a contract worth the kind of money he wants. He's not worth it at all. Not many pitchers are. The Brewers especially can't afford to do it. They should start talking to Marcum on a 3 year deal, maybe with an option if we have to. The fact that negotiations with Greinke ended tells me the talks went past the dollar amount Melvin was comfortable with.

[jason21nl]

If you blow a call as an ump, a make up call is the worst thing you can do.

[TURBO]

Jeez, can't Loe at least look like he is in a hurry to get the ball to 1B on that play??

[sdcheezhd]

So now 2 bad calls in the inning.

[valpocrewsader]

Roenicke is the biggest wimp arguer ever. What a weenie.

[Glennron]

And this is the Crew Chief. Wow.

[TURBO]

Marcum for 3 years?

 

No thank you........very much.
