The base running has gone downhill since Tim Raines has left the coaches box

 

If Owens was picked off first by himself. No problem.

 

But first you have a guy picked off second by the catcher. So you should say to yourself, hey that guy has a cannon. Then you get picked off.

....and our players have no clue how to slide.

Brewers up 1, top of 9th, and Giants had them loaded with one out.

Cordero K'd Winn, and then with Bonds on deck, Klesko grounded out on a 3-2 pitch.

Go Brew Crew!

Awesome--on the MLB.tv feed, they accidentally cut into the commercial break and you could hear Hawk still complaining about Owen's move: "You gotta, you gotta know you're dealing with one of the greatest arms behind the plate. I mean, Jesus Christ. It doesn't take a--" then it cut off. How do you think he completed that sentence?

Man Fields gets rid of it in a hurry with and accuracy on those 5-4-3 double plays.

Oz says he wasn't doing his job, so he had to go.

 

Why is Walker still here again?

 

Oh right, we scored 10 runs tonight so that buys him about 3 days. When Pods and Grinderstad come back we'll average 11 runs per game!

 

....and if anyone says "Crede and/or Erstad wouldn't have gotten picked off by Olivo," they are correct because Crede and Grinderstad would not have been on base.

Thats the first time I have seen a catcher pick off 2 players on 2 different bases.

 

I couldn't even tell you the last time I saw a catcher pick off 2 different guys in the same game, let alone inning.

.....a rocket scientist like Erstad to figure that out. I was talking to Dick Williams about this, and he said that Al Kaline was a tremendous base runner. I remember sitting down with Yaz when we were talking about Catfish Hunter, and he told me that this was the greatest assembly of talent he's ever seen to struggle this long.

Everything is self-induced.

Word for word.

Wow, 2 nasty hooks and he gets a very good hitter in Uggla on 3 pitches.

He has looked better lately. I still would like to see him go to Charlotte so he can get some consistency.

Man alive....Uggla and Cabrera both whiff on 3 pitches. Where has this been all year Masset?

This game is ending far too simply.

Well, folks, I haven't watched this game - but looking at the box score, everyone in the lineup had a hit? That's a start, isn't it?

Is Hawk trying to hype up Jermaine Dye?

Masset is killing me. He looks awfully good against 3 really good hitters, gets a first pitch strike against the 4th, and then 4 straight balls for a walk. GET THE THIRD OUT FOR ONCE NICK!!!

whoops

Christ....get Jenks in there already.

 

I have never seen a pitcher worse with 2 outs than Nick Masset in my entire life.

 

Make it quick Bobby.

Please learn how to finish off a team and a batter Massett and otrhers

He has looked better lately.

 

I take that back.

TYhis bullpen stuff is making me thirsty

That walk might be the last straw for Masset, if they have someone in AAA.

I'd prefer Bobby sat on his big butt tonight.

Jenks wins it for us. The thing about Bobby is that he at least challenges hitters even if he doesn't throw 100 MPH anymore
