laughedatbytime Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 The Brewers applied the 2014 version of the Mercy Rule. Up 11-2 in the 6th, they didn't bother challenging an obvious bad call against Ryan Braun at 1st base. Brewers 11Cubs 5 :ebert: :ebert:And the Cubbies even the series at 1 with an 8-0 shellacking of the Brewers in Milwaukee :clap: :clap: :clap: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Principled Man Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 Brewers 9Pirates 3 (5 errors) Top-o-1st inning: Brewer leadoff batter Jean Segura reaches 1st base on an error by the shortstop Mercer, then proceeds to 3rd on a botched pick-off play AND a bad throw to 2nd base by Ike Davis. THREE errors before the 3rd hitter comes to bat. Late in the game, Pirates 3rd baseman Alvarez takes a routine grounder and throws the ball into the SIXTH row behind 1st base. The very large Pittsburgh crowd was NOT entertained..... :laughing guy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RushCanuck Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 (edited) Good pitching stops good hitting as St. Louis Cardinals win 2 out of 3 games in Toronto. The Cards delivered back to back shutouts to stop the Jays hitters cold. On the positive side, since May 20, the Jays have played 5 teams who were in the post season last year (Cards, As, Tigers, Rays and Red Sox) and they have a record of 13-2 against them. I'll take that. Jays still lead American League East by 5.5 games over the Orioles. Go Jays! Time to start another winning streak. :dweez: Edited June 8, 2014 by RushCanuck 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RushCanuck Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 The Jays beat Baltimore 4 - 0 tonight to halt a 3 game losing streak. The Jays are still in first place in the AL East. Goose, if your A's could take care of the Yankees this weekend, I'd be grateful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Principled Man Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 Brewers 4Reds 2 Reds pitcher Mat Latos comes off the DL and pitches his first game of the year. He is cruising thru the game with a 1-0 lead. He gives up one hit going to the 6th. Minimal pitch count...... ....BUT THEN, in the bottom of the 6th with 2 out, Brewers 2nd baseman Scooter Gennett has a marathon at-bat - 13 pitches at least - and ends up with a double. He doesn't score, but he drives up Latos' pitch count so high that his manager takes him out of the game. The Reds' relievers promptly blow the 1-0 lead in the 7th and then blow a 2-2 tie in the 8th by allowing a clutch 2-run homer to Braun. Without Gennett's 6th inning marathon at-bat, Latos probably pitches the 7th inning, and the game probably turns out differently. What a crazy game baseball is..... :laughing guy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
