"That's not a weird stat. Rickie is a run-scorer," Yost said. "It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter," Yost told reporters. "See, you guys have no concept. He's a run-scorer. So there's nothing weird about it. That's what he does."

Uh, Braun needs to not strike out here
"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.
I think
Braun will hit a 2-run single to left-center.

For those of you not listening to Brian
A home run would make this a 5-1 game.

If the count goes full, the runners will be off with the pitch

I'm pretty sure he's never hit a grand slam
If he hits one, the Brewers will have the lead!

RBI strikeout?

He said it

Another fine outing by Suppan. It would certainly seem his first couple outings were the outlier. Of course, tell that to the casuals who fail to comprehend what a small sample is.
Scored three times and detonated an indisputable in four visits to the batting box.
I agree
I think Suppan will continue to have a 1.50 ERA for the rest of the year. Tonight was not in any way an outlier.
"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.
Oh, I'm sorry Jeff
I meant 1.42. Don’t want to short your true talent there.
"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.
I'm not sure
that’s directed at us/you. Al has referenced us positively before, and I think has respect for the site. There were many true “casuals” who were irrationally calling for Suppan’s head
I know,
but I still just disagree with him. I don’t need a sample to tell me that Suppan isn’t a very good pitcher. He makes this argument that Suppan is an average starter/innings eater, when he is just not that. Then he says Parra is an idiot based on about 2 games, in addition to other ‘small sample’ observations, like DiFelice can’t get lefties, when he has in the minors. I don’t even know why I go there, 2/3 of his posts are about politics.

If I had to make a list of priorities for during a Brewer game,
the NBA wouldn’t make the first 1000 things.

It would be behind Unicorns
Ashy Larry, and comments about the Car Soup commercial

Agreed.
Of course, it wouldn’t make my top 1000 if I were just sitting here clipping my toenails either. The NBA sucks.

Hey, clipping toenails is fun
I actively root for mine to grow faster so I can clip them again.

He didn't say that Prince would beat the ball home
"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.
It made me think
Bases loaded, Prince is on first, and Cameron hits one in the gap.
Do you think the catcher is thinking to himself, “please be a ground-rule double”?
"I will agree that the attitude [at BCB] is ridiculous and they have done so much to instigate animosity and then block us from responding. Real mature!"
hot damn is cameron hot
the only disappointment in that regard is J.J. grounding out to end the inning everytime cam gets on base

I love the complete lack of productive outs this inning despite the opportunities

All right folks, consider it established.
The Rally Lobster works.

No, JJ is the old Kendall

Not in the least.

Also, Javier Lopez got stuck in the outfield after completely crapping out.

The Rays did score five runs
But yeah. Yahoo’s PBP for that inning is completely blank. Can’t wait to watch that one.

that stupid thing was a "feature" on the Wild in-game programming
well, at least the part between periods. It sucked.
actually
thats a replay of the wacky pre-gameness

With only 2 innings left
There is only 6 outs to get, and then the game would be over, and since the Brewers have more points then they most likely would win the game.
So do I have what it takes to be a sports anaylist?
depends
are you looking for a job at the JS?

Well, wait.
Can you provide this kind of analysis for games involving the Red Sox, Yankees and Cubs?
Can you produce an entire hour of television about Manny Ramirez, even when he’s not playing?
"The reports are that he is getting better. The definition of better is nebulous."
Do you think it's better
to do too much with the ball, or not do too much with it? And how do you feel about grilling a capon?
"I will agree that the attitude [at BCB] is ridiculous and they have done so much to instigate animosity and then block us from responding. Real mature!"
Nice play, Rickie
Even though he was probably safe.
"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.
This is why BCB shouldn't be on Twitter
"I will agree that the attitude [at BCB] is ridiculous and they have done so much to instigate animosity and then block us from responding. Real mature!"
I think that was said sarcastically
Given the long pause before he managed to say anything.

Okay, ruling question - please help if you know
Discussing force rules. Here’s the arcane scenario.
Bases loaded, 2 out.
Grounder to short. Dummy shortstop tags the runner from 2B to 3B, but only after the runner from 3B crosses the plate.
Run counts or not?
In other words, is it a force-tag?
Still pro-Cameron
run counts

Yeah, that's my guess
That would be Rickie crossing the plate. Nothing weird about it.
Still pro-Cameron
It's still a force play
It’s not tagging the base that makes it a force out, it’s the fact the batter is forced to advance because the batter has become a runner.
Obscure baseball records and more at my blog, Recondite Baseball.
So no, the run does not count
Since the third out was a runner being forced out.
