Thats what she said...

"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."
Where's Shawon?!?

Villanueva strike-gate was only an inning ago
Huh.
"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.
The gate thing
When did -gate become a suffix meaning “controversy”? I know the origins, obviously, but it seems like every mildly controversial event gets a -gate tacked on to the end and the headline writers call it a day.
Scored three times and detonated an indisputable in four visits to the batting box.
Enough of questiongate! It is how it is!

"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.
I remember it first being (re-)used early in Clinton's first term
there were a lot of controversies, and we all needed shorthand to keep them straight.
Also, cheese.

Not so much for Chad Fox
"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.
I'm surprised
I thought Braun was going to get thrown at there.
Obscure baseball records and more at my blog, Recondite Baseball.
He's already been thrown at tonight
they’ve already warned the benches right?
"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."
I don't think they did.
The ball didn’t have a lot on it, and Dempster had already chucked a couple way high. I think the ump thought it just got away from him, though Braun didn’t seem to think so.

Looked like he really wanted something to swing at
He slammed his shin guard into the ground after the walk.

Saw that.
Between that and his stare at Dempster, I think it’s safe to say he took that high inside pitch personally.
by Ted Simmons Speed Camp on May 9, 2009 9:48 PM CDT up reply actions
And I think we can safely say
That Braun’s next team if he leaves Milwaukee will not be the Chicago Cubs.
Shit, Fox is hurt.
That just sucks.
Still pro-Cameron
Fox is hurtin

cubs fan here
not here to troll. honest question – i just looked at the box score, haven’t been watching the game – why did gallardo only go 5? also, fox has 9 lives.
they worked his pitch count pretty crazy
same with dempster, he went 113 i think?
by sowingwildoats on May 9, 2009 9:47 PM CDT up reply actions
dempster 121, Gallardo 101
"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."
holy crap
that’s a lot of pitches for dempster.
yep
thats why he gave up a homer to Craig counsell. Thats right, you heard me
"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."
ouch
you know things aren’t going right for your team when counsel is hitting long balls.
Yeah, back-to-back home runs to Counsell and Braun showed his fatigue
Obscure baseball records and more at my blog, Recondite Baseball.
I was blown away that he came out for the 7th
And you see how well that worked out.
"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.
pitch count mostly

Unfortunately, Chad could really be done
Yo was a bit wild, and ump was tight for both sides.
Still pro-Cameron
you hate to see that
and I think it’s the first time i’ve felt bad for a cub. Probably because he’s a former brewer
"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."
I feel bad for him
I liked watching him when he was a Brewer. In 123 innings, 3.33 ERA and more than a K per inning. Not too shabby.
he had that wicked slider back then
"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."
i can't watch an injury for anyone, except maybe milton
it’s just depressing.
by sowingwildoats on May 9, 2009 9:53 PM CDT up reply actions
Even worse
If this was his last appearance, his last season’s ERA will be in the low triple digits.
Obscure baseball records and more at my blog, Recondite Baseball.
Hoolio breathing easier
"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.
He's getting dangerously close to Gagne/Kendall/Moeller/Jenks v. Lefties territory for me
and by that, i mean pure unadulterated hate towards a member of my favorite team
"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."
Could we see a bases loaded walk tonight???

Put me on the board!

Uke just said, "Sinkle ball pitchers"
Scored three times and detonated an indisputable in four visits to the batting box.
Based on that Artie Lange video
He might not be talking about the pitchers. It was probably some innuendo.
and BA just called Heilmann "Eric"
"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."
still not as good as what I heard Vin Scully come up with the other night
Dodgers were playing the Pods. “Now batting, Kuzman Kevanoff.”
with his voice
I’d listen to Vin struggle to read the El Paso phone book
"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."
This game has been pretty wacky since the 7th.

80 minutes and counting since the 7th inning stretch

Called It!!!

Nah.
They would have called it when the lights went out if it was.

Is there any reason for duffy to take his bat off his shoulder?

Even Duffy gets a hit

Duff man
oooh no, Kendall has a mug you don’t want to chug

Kendall
Just missed his first four-hit game since 2006.

Apparently Coffey hacks
they had to tell him no according to BA

I like the idea of Coffey swinging
I also think he will become a folk hero in the vein of the Most Interesting Man in the World..
You know Coffey handles sizzling fajita platters bare handed?

two of which were solo shots

And the other only scored one run too
And was in the first inning, many moons ago.
"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.
greinke
8IP 1 er and losing 1-0 raising his ERA to 0.5
damn
