I don't think Ned was as mad about the call as he is mad about the fact that the 1st base ump made a call that he couldn't have possibly seen with 2 people in his way.

 

Is that an MLB sanctioned umpire at first base, or is it just a guy they picked up off the streets tonight? He's looked like the latter tonight.

Meh. 2 outs, nobody on. Branyan just would have whiffed anyway.

I agree with Adam, that seemed like the cause of the meltdown.

I agree. That was definately shoddy.

Jenkins hit a dribbler foul down the first base line, but Clark blocked the ump's view, and they guessed at the call wrong, said it was fair, Clark stepped on first, and Ned came out to argue, and the rest is history.

I've always liked Counsell

KKKKKK

[MadisonBrewerBlue]

the ball hit the foul line and was picked up before hitting foul territory. i think the ump was right

[brewers19]

Yeah, he's got a pretty cool stance. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/eyes.gif

Can you explain "secondary batting average"? Never heard of it.

 

It's a (quick/easy) way of measuring what a player is contributing on offense independent of his batting average. The basic formula is:

 

(TB - H + BB + SB - CS) / AB

 

If Cruz had enough at-bats to qualify, he'd rank in the top 20 in baseball. Everybody else on that list is hitting at least .260 except Adam Dunn (who leads the league in Secondary Average).

 

Cruz definitely wins the award for most misleading batting average (in a good way).

Well, I suppose that call cancels out the blown double-play call that went our way earlier.

[undertow67]

I meen, how can that be fare? those referees are incompetent today.

[MadisonBrewerBlue]

inning over ..the call is mute

[batboy37]

Good work, Cappy. Let's get some runs.

[JoeH33]

25 pitch inning, Cappys now up to 100 through 5

[rluzinski]

With that HR Overbay has tied Branyan with the highest team OPS at .901. Don't let em do that to you, Branyan!

Wow, who could have possibly predicted that would happen?

[markwitx]

Good hustle JJ

[Weirdos19]

Thought they had JJ. Haven't seen a replay because we are watching the food network.

6-4... not 3.

 

What's the thing with the signs?
