You aren't human if you don't feel for Brooks Conrad, the Braves second baseman who made three costly errors in Game 3 which helped the Giants win the game 3-2 and take a 2-1 series edge.
Even if you are pulling for the Giants, you have to feel bad that Conrad was the goat.
In his last 8 games at second base, Conrad has made 7 errors. Granted, he's playing out of position. He's in there because Chipper Jones is out for the year with an injury and Omar Infante had to go to third base. Also, Martin Prado is out with an injury so Conrad has to play second.
I would love to see Conrad come through in Game 4 and have a key hit or two to help the Braves win. Better yet, I'd love to see Conrad save the game with a brilliant defensive play.
I had a sudden thought. I wouldn't want to be in Brooks Conrad's shoes tonight. But then I re-thought that stance. Yes I'd want to be in Brooks Conrad's shoes tonight. That means I'd be in the big leagues...which I have to admit is better than what I'm doing now, no offense intended to my employers.
Anyway, if you've played the game of baseball, you know how crappy it is to cost your team with an error. Or two. Or three. I know, I've been there...just not on the grand stage that Conrad was on today.
