2016-05-14 Padres (Perdomo) at Brewers (Peralta), 6:10 PM CDT [Brewers lose, 8-7, 12 innings]

The pen has been awesome again, but this team has some offensive problems.

[Surhoff5]

well boys (surhoff5, turborickey, and MrTPlush), it's a good thing that this is a developmental season and really doesn't mean anything. Villar is having an outstanding season. He's surpassed everyone's expectations. I'm not going to nitpick over a few miscues. Let's hope he learns from them.

 

100% agree! The guy has been on base 5 of 6 times tonight. I know he has had a few caught stealings in crucial situations, but I'll take what he has given them this year.

[MoreTrife]

I've liked villar but boy between the botched double plays and caught stealings...

 

Seemed like that may have been called for though because scooter really swung on a crap pitch.

 

No way that was called......not a runner on second and 1 out with 2 strikes on the hitter.

 

Then that was a really bad swing!

[MrTPlush]

How on earth do you walk Chris Capuano..........wow.

[MrTPlush]

This team has been awful...AWFUL scoring runs lately. That steal attempt was called for. I doubt he ran on his own.

[yfinn6]

Wow, Norris crushed that.

[yfinn6]

That should wrap it up.

[MrTPlush]

Pretty much a given if Capuano had to go multiple innings we would lose.

[Ennder]

Stealing 3rd in the bottom of the inning in a tie game with a runner on 2nd and 1 out is just piss poor managing no matter who is on 2nd. If it was a hit and run or run and hit which it really looked like it was that is even worse. Just bad coaching overall.

I fell asleep with the remote in my hand. Wish I had woke up to a better result.

[RobDeer 45]

Well they were knocking on the door all night and couldn't close it out. Entertaining game. I try not to get frustrated with some of the mistakes. I wasn't mad at Villar but if you try to take 3rd you better make it. He appeared to but either way he was out. It did almost seem like it was a hit and run. Maybe CC thought he had to gamble there and that Scooter would get a strike.

TH asked CC about it after the game. Craig called it " a mistake".

 

Counsell said Villar’s only real move was to try steal earlier in count. But not 1-2. Gennett saw it and reacted by swinging at bad pitch.
