Question about the 3rd inning---Berkman and Tejada both hit it to the wall? That is where Gameday shows the flyouts were.

berkman high pop - slams bat down in disgust, everyone holds breath as braun feels for scoreboard, makes catch about 5 feet in front of it on the warning track.

miggy hit a deep drive to right that looked like it might get the foul pole, comes down in the very tight foul ground and hart catches it standing in the corner.

Berkman's was a very high popup to about 5 feet in front of the wall. he knew immediately it was an out. do not remember Tejada.

now i do. nice catch by Hart but clearly foul.

So... ahum... this stuff about coming home to be able to take advantage of the schedule and all... it's not working. When you're playing mediocre, it really doesn't matter who the opponent is and where you're playing.

Handing them a run by not doing something as basic as hitting the cutoff, that's little league.

the throw was perfect. Q did not tell Wiggy to cut it, apparently.

it did look like counsell was coming home on that play, maybe Q was just getting in position to receive the ball and make a play before counsell hit the brakes and scrambled back to 3rd? i really couldn't tell if it was clearly discernible in time, however, i did react thinking they needed to cut that throw off either way, whether counsell runs home or retreats, he would have been out.

it does suck that the 2 runs the astros handed to the brew crew in the 5th are the difference in this game.

not to mention the walk to sheets before hart's 2 out 3run homer.

The gift on Sunday to the Cardinals turned out to the difference as well. Coach is right, I was being charitable when I said "mediocre". Cooper promised after the game that those losing focus plays would stop and he was going to make sure of it come Monday. Well, it's not getting to the team, so I'm not sure how Ed Wade feels about his ten minute talk being of any value.

that's not the way it works. Q says (or is supposed to say): "let it go" OR "cut 4, 3 or 2" depending on where he wants the throw to go.

then he definitely should have been yelling for the cut on that play. would have prevented a run, maybe both that inning.

What a weak ass piss fucking poor excuse for a 9th inning from our big bats.

Tejada was 2-0 and rolled over an excuse me grounder.
Berkman was 1-1 and hit an excuse me grounder.
Lee was 1-0 and hit a broken bat roller.

Started the inning with 2 on and the fat part of the order.

was that close to the wall. Gameday had it actually looking like a HR, not just on the track. Wanted more clarification. Thank you for the PBP.
