I'll admit this was more fun for me to watch than I was anticipating. I somehow had forgotten about Suter's little tumble.

 

Any plays they missed out on?

The Rickie Weeks glove flip, behind the back, Yuni B barehand snag, and then throw to first for the double play. Definitely should be on there. For two guys not known for defense that was one heck of a play.

While Keon was featured, I always enjoyed his catch against the Twins on the 4th of July more, even though the situation wasn't as big (wouldn't have tied the game) the catch was just incredible.

 

 

Here's that Yuni/Weeks play:

I was at the July 4th game. Maybe it was just because I saw it live, but that catch was an all-time defensive moment for me.

Evidently I’m no good at using my phone to post a video.

 

There’s an insane Piña throw that I wish I could also find.

[Underachiever]

That was a lot of fun. Two things: Votto seemed like kind of a dick with his reaction. Take the L and go home. Second, what were those uniforms in the second triple play? I thought the Cubs were playing.

TIL that Eric Sogard was a ball boy for the Brewers way back in 2013. Nice play by him.

Cain had a catch in Cincinnati before he was traded that should've made the list.

The one where he dove into the chain line fence? If so, I agree.

Suter is in the minors but this one bests all of them....

Yeah, finally looked for the video and found it.

My goodness, that's unreal!!!

 

One of my favorites doesn't fit the parameters of this discussion by about 1 month of regular season time -- an Escobar play vs. the DBacks on 9/13/09, video for which on the Brewers' website I can't get to come up on 2 different computers (the link is there but the video's not playing: https://www.mlb.com/video/escobars-excellent-play/c-6631109; https://www.mlb.com/gameday/brewers-vs-d-backs/2009/09/13/246330#game_state=final,game_tab=videos,game=246330).

That was actually more fun than I was expecting. I've generally been pretty indifferent toward all of the "end of the decade" sports content, but this was wroth watching the video clips. Kinda crazy they've had that many home run robbing catches to save games in the 9th inning.

If we include minors this one takes the cake:

Routine catch....at least it should have been.

If Yuni B can make the list for stepping on 2nd...

 

You aren’t wrong though.

I'm reminded of how much I enjoyed watching Carlos Gomez play. He was maddening at times, but when he excelled, he was so much fun.

He certainly made those rebuilding years a lot of fun for me.

There were these behind-the-back throws Weeks made to JJ Hardy in 2005, as I recall...

I'm pretty sure it wasn't this decade but Brady Clark's back to the infield dive in Colorado has always been one of my favorites.
