lol javy made that play so casually

[Agony and Ivy]

I would rather we just throw at his face every time instead of letting him get [expletive] hits.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Come on Anderson got that corner all night

:flythew:

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Happ scared the crap out of me when he readjusted.

[Omar]

that was too close for comfort

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Happ was a poorly timed breeze from showing up on blooper reels from now until the end of time

[weis21]

They burned Edwards and Morrow! Now we’ll make sure to take advantage in the [squints] Suter v. Darvish matchup.

The Brewers scouts did a poor job preparing for an NSBB game thread spot starter they were seeing for the first time.

I feel like we’ll see good Darvish tomorrow.

LaStella is an awful third baseman

 

It really makes no sense to not play Javy at 3rd in this configuration

 

My brain says this makes sense but then I watch Javy on the pivot at second base on double plays and I feel like there’s no way in hell Tommy comes anywhere near making some of those places. I also just watched some World Series highlights today and may be under the influence of Javy the magician at the moment.

Yeah, I mean it's a downgrade at whatever spot Tommy plays. Just seems like Tommy struggles with even routine stuff at 3B and there isn't the margin for error there for the weaker arm/bobbling a ball/etc. and he is passable at 2B (obviously he lacks Javy's wizardry) and has the extra margin to screw up and still make plays. Probably should come down to what their pre-game scouting says where they feel more balls will go between 2B/3B and play them accordingly. I've just always hated Tommy playing 3B since he really isn't capable there.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

I'd like to see Tommy at second simply because he wouldn't need to take a trebuchet onto the field with him to get the ball over to first base.
