Atlanta is scoring a MLB worst 3.19 runs per game. Game in Atlanta. We have a good chance of a CG SHO by Nelson....Heard it here first!

[pacopete4]

One has to think that Julio Teheran would be moved by Atlanta if they are truly in a full rebuild.

[1992casey]

There's nothing like an unassisted double play at third base to clean up a bases loaded no out mess.

[reillymcshane]

Bad 3rd strike call on Villar

[1992casey]

Seven consecutive strikeouts for Teherán, along with a 15⅔ innings scoreless streak.

[reillymcshane]

Braunie!

[The stache]

Brauny says "Say goodbye to that scoreless streak."

[1992casey]

Aaron Hill's a busy guy tonight. First, it was the unassisted double play at third. Now, it's a great catch behind second on a shift.

[adambr2]

I love Villar, but the guy makes Carlos Gomez look like a disciplined baserunner.

[BarneyStinston]

Repeated idiotic baserunning seems to be a major problem wirh this team.

[TURBO]

Man o man Villar, little leaguers know not to go when the ball is hit in front of you. This guy makes so many base-running mistakes, it is getting pretty old already.

 

I find it hard to believe that a guy can progress to the major leagues, and still not know basic information on playing this game. It just makes no sense to make mistakes this frequently. I understand that all players make mistakes, but this is getting plain stupid.

 

Rock is even coaching him earlier in Braun's at bat, saying you have to just stay at 2nd and not try to steal a base when Braun and Lucroy are behind you...

[adambr2]

That ball 4 was a better pitch than the one Villar took for strIke 3.

[adambr2]

We have got to be the worst baserunning team in the majors.

[TURBO]

and Ed "windmill" Sedar doesn't help matters either...

[pacopete4]

Well for all the complaints, Villar just worked a 7 pitch walk, stole second and scored on a hit. All with two outs to take the lead in the eighth.

[adambr2]

and Ed "windmill" Sedar doesn't help matters either...

 

He's terrible, though I'm sure you weren't talking about right now with Villar, gotta send him there with 2 outs. But yeah I agree on Sedar in general.

 

Nice 2 out rally to take the lead.

[The stache]

I feel really bad for Jimmy Nelson. Though he still clearly has room for improvement (far too many walks), he's given up only 3 earned runs over his last three starts (a 1.27 ERA over 21 1/3 IP), and he's got nothing to show for it. He'll be 0-1 in those starts. The Brewers have scored a grand total of two runs in those 21 1/3 innings.

Wasn't bad baserunning by a Brewers team supposed to be because Ron Roenicke was such a bad manager?

 

Baserunning instincts are a skill just like other aspects of the game are. Some players just never are able to grasp well when trying to take an extra base makes sense and being able to judge well their speed compared to distance of a likely incoming throw.

 

Robin Yount for example was a fabulous baserunner even though he didn't steal a lot of bases. It was an innate skill which couldn't be taught.

Imagine how Teheran feels. He's 1-4 with a 2.57 ERA.

[reillymcshane]

Gotta love Freeman running out his hit slower than my 80+ year old mom.

[adambr2]

And Carter dons the golden sombrero.

[adambr2]

IMO we got totally outplayed tonight, so it was nice to pull it off anyway.

 

It's refreshing to know that there is a team out there that is way worse than us.

[dlk9s]

I may take my family to the game Thursday night. I'm going to feel like a chump paying more than a few bucks for good seats, considering how few people go to the games here.
