2014-08-01 Brewers (Peralta) at Cardinals (Wainwright), 7:15 PM CDT [Brewers win, 7-4]

[Dead Simmons]

Wow. What pressure for AJ's 1st St. Louis AB

[pacopete4]

This one could turn ugly in a hurry.

[Lee16]

Throw a strike, come on, do your job man.

[Eye Black]

Big out there on AJ, kept the no-hitter intact.

[yfinn6]

Nice job, Rami! Hacking 3-0 and bam!

[DuWayne Steurer]

I'll take that.

[adambr2]

That was classy of Wainwright to groove a pitch to Ramirez like that.

[pacopete4]

BOOOOOOOOM!!!!

[pacopete4]

Get hot Overbay. This is your last opportunity at a winner. Get hot!!!

[Dead Simmons]

What I wonder is where ARam will he be HBP next inning. Ribs? Matheny, though he denies it, orders lots of them. Just a coincidence that it's always a top hitter.

[DuWayne Steurer]

This may be one of our few chances at a big inning against this goomba. Don't waste it.

[pacopete4]

If he hits ARam next at bat I hope Matheny wrecks his car on the way home from the game tonight. Guys hit homeruns. It's apart of the game. Deal with it.

[DuWayne Steurer]

Bunt in front of Herrera and the pitcher......

[adambr2]

Not crazy about the sac bunt there. Obviously they just walk Herrera after that and get to face the pitcher.

[pacopete4]

Peralta will plate a run. Book it!

[bm1090]

I get that strategically walking Herrera is probably the right move and Peralta will probably K or GIDP....but is facing Peralta/Gomez better than facing Herrera/Peralta?

[pacopete4]

Herrera. My god.

[DuWayne Steurer]

Not crazy about the sac bunt there. Obviously they just walk Herrera after that and get to face the pitcher.

 

I know what the run expectancy is for a completely generic situation with 1st and 2nd with none out, and 2nd and 3rd and one out.

 

What I want to know is what the run expectancy is when you specifically know you're bunting to allow the other team to walk someone to get TO THE PITCHER.

[yfinn6]

Seriously Elian? Can he not judge soft line drives??

[adambr2]

Dumb sac bunt, dumb baserunning, way to kill a chance at a big inning.

[DuWayne Steurer]

We are a good baserunning team.

[jerichoholicninja]

This team is just one massive fail at baserunning.

[SRB]

Why the heck are you letting Wily swing there?? Just have him do the old Ben Sheets watch-three-pitches and leave the bases loaded for Gomez.

[folly412]

At least we get Gomez up with the bases loaded...neewwp more braindead base running. Don't mind the Segura bunt...one of the few situations he doesn't hit a weak grounder to short which is two with runners on.

[Lee16]

Someone will be here soon to remind us what a great baserunning team the Brewers are.
