RRR loves him some Yuni B! Hitting 5th. I'd cry if this wasn't so funny.

[TooLiveBrew]

I fixed the MichaelHunt-o's in the starting lineups (also added a Narron-esque touch for our leadoff man). Looks like PretendAstronaut got the lineups from the JSOnline Brewers Blog... normally a reliable source, unless Hunt is posting. According to him, "Chin"-Soo Choo & "Cesar" Cozart were starting tonight for the Reds. Unreal when it's your job that you don't bother to double- or triple-check that post before submitting.

 

Also, I'd like to take some time to thank Dusty Baker for batting a guy with a MiLB career (7 seasons) .645 OPS in the two-hole. It'd be nice to see the Crew get the win tonight with Votto out of the lineup.

[adambr2]

I thought Maldanado was supposed to be a really good defensive catcher.

[trwi7]

Bench Weeks!

[sauveb]

The Reds play a 14 inning game yesterday so their bullpen is thin tonight. So what is the approach that Narron and Roenicke employ? Of course, it's the "let's swing at anything near the plate approach". I get so tired of the lack of discipline on this team.

[trwi7]

Through 5 innings Arroyo has thrown 10 pitches or more in an inning once.

[The stache]

I just woke up, looked at the box score, and saw that Scooter Gennett and Logan Schafer are a combined 5 for 5, with Scooter having his first career home run.

 

Am I seeing things, or do I need to brush the sleep from my eyes?

Not sure why this is that shocking really...Both players are capable of having hot streaks and big games.

 

I enjoy the crap out of watching the young guys produce!

[The stache]

I know they're capable of it, but coming into tonight's game, the two were a combined 21 for 98 on the season. I'm really happy to see both having a great game. I collect both player's baseball cards.

[TURBO]

I really see no purpose to keep Yuni around much longer. It's time to cut the cord.

[The stache]

Is Carlos Gomez the best pure athlete the Brewers have ever had? The man is just insane. Fast, strong. Wowie wow.

[The stache]

Cord. Chord is something you play on a guitar

Glenn Braggs was quite an athlete back in the day, but he never quite figured out how to play the entire game of baseball...

 

Gomez is just awesome! Between him and Segura this year, I can't decide who I like better. Can you imagine what shape this team would be in without them? I shudder to think about it.

oops, sorry about that, the proper edit has been made.

Braggs had Prince Fielder type of power, he just never put it together.

 

I remember watching him check his swing once, and snapping the bat in half.

No problem. I do stuff like that all the time.

 

I am really liking Scooter Gennett. The guy brings some real energy to the game. Things like taking third there won't show in the box score, but they make a big difference in the team's success.

 

Get the man a new belt!

[trwi7]

Taking 3rd there made almost no difference in the team's success. If he gets thrown out the inning is over. If he just stays a base hit scores him either way if he's on 2nd or 3rd.

[Taylor Blue]

Okay, Gonzalez cannot throw a strike. Pull him, now!

[sdcheezhd]

Why leave Gonzalez in to face a switch-hitter?

[adambr2]

Good thing Henderson is still available for the save situation.

[The stache]

Scooter's going to score from second on a single to left field? Scooter's going to score from second on an infield hit?

[Baldkin]

In the current scoring environment (~4 runs/game, in the NL in 2013), with two outs, going from 2nd to third (with a man on first) bumps the run expectancy from .404 to .461, which means he has to be safe > 95% of the time for that to be worth while... which basically makes it a stupid, stupid play.

 

And yes, he's scoring from second every single time on a single to left with two outs. He's going on contact.

Back in the day?

 

Here he is at 50....

ummmmmm, errrr, ok then, but I disagree.

 

There has to be plenty of times when that exact play occurs and the runner on 2B does not score. To blanket that statement and say every single time just can't be accurate.
