[GormanHarvey]

Did Braun just walk up to STP's Plush??

[GormanHarvey]

Attakid Rick!

[pacopete4]

F-Yeah Rickie!

[PrinceEatMeat]

There we go Rickie! Wish Ramirez didn't get thrown out at third though. No idea why he went there on a bad quad.

[jjgott]

Hey Hey Rickie! Feeling good to see him not fail at that pitch.

[pacopete4]

hey look, just tuned in, and we are down 0-1...

 

Almost every time I miss a half inning or a full inning, we are down when I tune in...

 

 

You must always miss the starts of Wolfy!

I love how Aoki gives the extra effort to position himself behind nearly every fly ball he catches. At least with runners on. Always prepares himself for a throw. Stark contrast to Hart's lazy back-peddling and flat-footed throws.

 

Agreed. His arm is also much better than what the reports were after signing him.

I like him too, but to be fair...he missed one yesterday when a guy tagged up on him going from 1st to 2nd mainly because he caught it on his heels.

Two outs, you drag the throw away from home to score the run. You watch to make sure Braun scores and if he doesn't you stop to get him home before the out.

[GormanHarvey]

Maybe the best throw I've seen Kottaras make.

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

Atta boy George! Hammy must be getting better...that throw had a little more on it vs. when I saw him in LA.

 

Omar...can't get too bitter about a guy my age getting a hit.

Yes, I'm aware of that situation obviously. I just don't think Braun scoring was gonna be an issue there with him running on the 3-2 count, so that's likely not why he went. Oh well, doesn't really matter anyway, we got the runs in.

It was a full count with 2 outs, they weren't going to come close to getting Braun out at home.

[GormanHarvey]

I thought Davis had no chance of catching that ball

[TURBO]

ball has some carry tonight...

[jjgott]

Glad it worked but that was dumb.

[PrinceEatMeat]

Glad it worked but that was dumb.

 

A squeeze is a good call there against a ground ball pitcher like Alvarez. Gotta get the run in there and avoid the DP. Although with Aoki running it's probably a little less necessary. Roenicke loves the squeeze though, and Aoki is such a good bunter that he'll just end up with a hit half the time anyway.

[AZBrewCrew]

Lets see if this Braun guy is any good at baseball

[PrinceEatMeat]

Pretty sure Aoki got in there safe. It was close though, so can't really complain.

[Raw Biz]

Blown call. Didn't even look close live, though it looked closer on replay.

[jjgott]

I like this whole run scoring thing. Can we do this more often?

[GormanHarvey]

What a beautiful swing by Ramirez!!

[Raw Biz]

Love that ARam has been heating up the past month. Don't know if he will keep it up but it's basically how it's been his entire year.

[theavrock]

That a way ARam. Stay hot kid!

[Funketown]

I wish Bill would stop talking about Lawrie leading the team in errors.

 

Nice to see Aram look like the guy we used to loathe.

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

Where were these hits yesterday?
