Not touching third is forgivable,I think, if he had received the throw from the catcher more like a first baseman. The throw beat the runner. He just tried to apply a tag instead of getting the force. He’s kicking himself today. Yep agreed on all that...Bill Rowe mentioned the way he received the ball at the bag....sidenote, Rowe is a pleasure to listen to in the booth.....lots of knowledge of the game. I think Bullard panicked a little and brain farted.....he touches his base and throws home, one throw instead of two, and would've been an easy DP......unless the catcher dropped the ball on the tag or something.....the fact that he tried to tag the runner on a force shows that he must've just kind of blanked out.....I almost feel bad for him....almost. Bullard was a Horses arse last night. First got chippy in the bottom of the fifth with Beavs dugout, had to be restrained by shortstop and umpire. Later in game after catching a foul ball he communicated in the negative to the fans sitting in the area. Stupid play to cost his team the game once again proves there is baseball karma. I'm sure crowd will be on him today. |

it's not hate. He makes goofy errors, brilliant plays and sometimes can't hit. He's inconsistent, if he goes crap at the plate again then it's nice there is another option that is playing well. There is no solution to the catchers right now. TJ Wheeler and Easton Talt are the only guys listed as alternates and neither of them have hit well this season either. Only thing to do is let the catchers play and hope they improve. Weber is trending up slowly. Goofy errors? He has 3 errors all season. Same as Kane. Less than Bazzana and Guerra. Very good for a SS. Yes fo you remember them? He makes crazy plays then drops a routine play. It's like skiing a bunch of moguls then falling over in the lift line. He also has 10 less games played this season than Kane. You can think he's great if you want, I'm just happy we have options. |

If he stays hot we may finally have an answer for the great Dernedde issue. Or the great Forrester issue. 3-20 over the last four games. What's his OBP over that span? |

I just rewound that ending and watched it 10 times over and over. That's one of the best celebrations of joy I've seen from a Beavs team this whole year. Watching the team storm the field to celebrate... I dragged my 14 year-old daughter, who frankly doesn't know the difference between a baseball and a football, out into the living room and made her watch it, too, so she could understand why I love sports...and even she got it. I want more beer. I'm gonna have whiskey now, too. This thread applies to both Friday night and Sunday's games. That was awesome! |
