Fatso hits one a country mile for a three run dinger in top one. Mil 3 Htn coming to bat.

Ron Brand · « **Reply #2 on:** August 06, 2011, 06:16:36 pm »

Hart singles, Morgan bunts for a single, and Fielder hits one 877' into the stratosphere in right for a 3-0 Brewer lead.

You can hear the sad resignation in Baggy's voice.

It's all yours, Mr. H, I've got to go to work in a bit.

Fielder came into this game hitting .476 with four homers against Myers.

Mr. Happy · « **Reply #5 on:** August 06, 2011, 06:20:51 pm »

Astros go meekly in order in bottom one. 3-0 wrong club

Mr. Happy · « **Reply #6 on:** August 06, 2011, 06:30:32 pm »

Myers lets no one score in top 2. 3-0 Mil

Martinez sells out for an all or nothing grab in shallow LF.

He got a poor jump on that ball, and he made the play much harder than it should have been.

That's so true. When we were 12-34 in '79, everything went against us.

Bettancourt was safe.

Well, two runs score, but Myers pitches out of further damage. 5-1 Bottom 3. It's gonna be a long night.

Gary was dead wrong on both calls. It's amazing that these guys get paid.

I don't think I've ever seen a manager argue for so long and not get run.

Cedarstrom is a gentleman. He knows Mills is frustrated and getting his butt kicked at home, so he gave him a lot of leeway. Had Mills gone apeshit and pulled some Pinella type shit, Cedarstrom would have run him early.

MLB has to do something about this. When you combine offensiveness with incompetence, the atmosphere gets troublesome.

I think that the SEC umps back in the day were better than these guys. And they didn't have the luxury of a four man crew.

I hate the fact that the flash mob guy is such a dumbass because I would like to see the whole routine. I wish the guy had his shit together and would have shown up on time so we could see the whole crew work their magic, flash mob style. And the dumbass camera man, I'm not cutting him any slack either because he fucked up too. A couple of dumbfucks they are.

Are we sure this was Clark's doing? I watched a couple replays and couldn't tell if JB decided to just go for it or was actually waived to 3rd by Clark.

The one replay I saw looked liked JB but his head down and just plowed right thru 2nd base.

Whoever made the decision it was stupid, that being said that was one hell of a throw by Nyger.

On one of the replays you can plainly see JB look up and check in with Clark just as he's rounding second. The TV guys said as it was happening that Clark was sending JB.

Navin R Johnson · « **Reply #69 on:** August 07, 2011, 12:15:02 pm »

Watched the clip on MLB.com, you are right in that Shuck looks up but you can't tell if he ran through the stop sign or not. Clark's reaction afterwards makes me think he did. But if the guys on TV said Clark sent him, I will go with that. It is just so ridiculously stupid to be sending him I guess I was just giving Clark the benefit of the doubt.
