Be real, now. This fat b oy did not get down. He had plenty of time and he gave up on the play. Stop the whining!!! Bunch iof babies. Lose some friggin weight. Put down the Kahuna Burger and eat something healthy.

Scoring - by committee??? Get real, Melvin!

Saw the replay.....it WAS an error.

That was a hit, not an error. Relax Bob.

Doug, not Bob

I was just surprised that the Brewers were not all that happy about winning the GAME. There are more important things to worry about right now.....like making the playoffs.

It was his own fault. He looked like Mo Vaughn trying to get a ground ball. They should be happy he didn't get hurt.

How many brewer whining stories can T&R do? Sabathia's okay with it, get over it.

1 tubbie-tubbie, 2 tubbie-tubbie

If the Brewers keep abusing Sabathia they way they have been so far, he'll burn out by playoffs time!

Wahhhhhhhhhhhh!

There's still a team in Milwaukee?

Too bad that a scorer is at the root of controversy. Usually you just take it, scorers are biased, always.

he was robbed

ask the king of all not hitters, nolan ryan what he thinks. I'm sure he'd say tough ****.


if he have up one more hit we wouldn't be talking about this. end of story. close call - next time either get the guy our or make the error more obvious. this smells like Strahan's record breaking sack of Favre.

I would tend to agree with you -- if the Brewer's were, in fact, abusing him.

Only one game has been questionable -- the 130 pitch complete game when they had a reasonable lead. Other than that game, there's been nothing questionable -- he's averaged 112 pitches per start with the Brewers - in his 6 complete games, he's averaged only 115 pitches. He had a 106- and a 103-pitch complete games. 110-120 pitches per start is well within this guy's comfort zone.

What is wrong with you?

SlinkyRedfoot-

You have a point. But if you look at it as a whole, its a bit much. Each as an individual start isn't that bad. But in just one half of a season is a lot. Will he have anything left come the playoffs? next year?

I disagree with you there, Al. He's an incredibly durable pitcher who's pitching just over 110 pitches a game. Halladay's averaged 109 pitches per start this year, where is everyone whining that he's being over-used? It's not a bit much -- it's their job. Hell, even Peavy and Santana are averaging 105 pitches per start. It's the complete games that are misleading.

He's got four more starts, if he averages 7.7 innings for those starts, he'll finish the season with the same # of innings as last year -- did he have anything left for this year?
