Bench Corey Hart

In Section: Cute Sports Posted By: Nicole

After Hart's inning ending groud-into-double-play (GIDP) is there any excuse Sveum can give to justify Corey not only being in the lineup but batting 6th?

Anyone who was driving home from work, as I was, and listening to the radio - did you hear how absolutely dissapointed and disgusted Bob Uecker sounded? He just sounded defeated when he pointed out that Corey swung at the first pitch and GIDP.

For anyone who didn't see it. After Mike Cameron struck out, Ray Durham walked on 4 straight balls. Ryan Braun hit a double off the wall - off the bat, Uecker thought it was a home run. Prince Fielder was intentionally walked. JJ Hardy walked on 5 pitches.

Corey Hart walked up and swung on the first pitch. GIDP. Inning over. Rally killed.

There are those that think we shouldn't play Tony Gwynn Jr or Brad Nelson in right because of the drop-off defensively. The number of runs/offense Corey has cost in 3 straight games should far out-weigh the defensive drop.

If someone doesn't ask Dale Sveum why Corey has the plate discipline of my basset hound, I give up!

Sveum basically said yesterday he wasn't going to change the lineup.
 
brewers stopped hitting a long time ago. is anyone surprised at these outcomes?
Yes, but Tony Gwynn seems to have a measurable baseball IQ, so I think that gives him the advantage.
agreed. benching hart would make about as much sense as benching anyone else on that team right now. they all need to hit! also, there are only 4 outfielders on the playoff roster right now, and the 4th is tony gwynn. not good.
 
While you're at it, what about Cameron. Three pitches down the middle as a lead of hitter...strikeout. Take that fat bat off your shoulders. Two days in a row with a bad jump on a fly ball. Will somebody please tell these guys this is a Playoff game. I hope you're all ready for another 20 year drought, because it be comin'.
