2014-06-08 Brewers (Gallardo) at Pirates (Locke), 12:35 PM CDT [Brewers win, 1-0]

[TwinsBrewersWorldSeries]

Weeks

 

1) booted grounder early in the game (called a hit)

2) Weeks failed to cover first on a bunt (called a hit)

3) Weeks made an ill-advised throw that almost went into RF that would have allowed the winning runs to score

 

Weeks = fail

Ill advised? The runner beat it by a step.

Almost went into right field? It was an on target throw that was nowhere near an angle to end up in right field. It's either in the stands or along the wall behind first if Reynolds doesn't catch it.

Wining run scores on the error? The winning run scores from first on what planet? 270 feet before somebody tracks it down?

 

Weeks had a crap game, but come on man, that's just dramatic overtones.

No he did not. McCutchen hit a rocket that he didn't get his glove up for and it went over his head. had he caught the ball, Walker would have been doubled off first as he was running with the pitch. He never booted a grounder.

For those that didn't see what happened today, or haven't been following the A's vs Orioles series...

 

Manny Machado = FAIL

Manny Machado = FAIL

 

I heard he threw a bat toward 3B, was it toward Donaldson? I only saw highlights of this weekend but it looked like Machado had beef when Donaldson tagged him, and it looked like a harmless tag. Then they plunked Donaldson?

 

Edit - just saw it. It was supposed to go toward the pitcher, Abad, who was throwing inside. Machado is a clown.

The Weeks hatred on this site is just irrational. That last play was a great play that was one step away from completing the double play. Great play by Segura and Rickie.

[Pugger]

GOMEZ!!!!!!!!!

 

Yeah, Weeks, trying to commit his THIRD error of the game there... that Rickie is why you are a pinch hitter at best at this stage of your career.

 

Rickie drives me crazy. I'd rather we go with Scooter but he's bad against lefties.

It's not just this site, it's the entire state of Wisconsin. I'm not saying Rickie is having an amazing season but people act as though he's done nothing helpful this year and that's not the case. It's just bizarre seeing as how Scooter gets more starts anyways.

In addition, he also hit the catcher, twice, with his back swing earlier in the game. The catcher was removed from the game after the second one (which hit him in the head). Machado didn't even look back and check on him either time. He was then caught on camera snickering and smiling as the player was leaving the field.

 

What a tool...

[PrinceFielderx1]

Weeks is highly overrated and highly over paid by 8 million. That's why we want Weeks gone. Anybody can be an upgrade over him at a fraction of the cost.
