jeepers. nothing can be easy, can it? New guys. . . . same ol' stuff.

[Blancofan1]

Why did Bill just have to mention Javier Valentin. I was hoping not to see that guy in a meaningful situation all week.

[endaround]

So they're saving Shouse for the guys Dusty won't think twice about lifting?

[owbc]

Not sure why Shouse isn't in here...

 

However, this is a good chance to see whether Mota can handle the 8th inning in a close game.

[owbc]

I'm sure all that booing really helps Mota throw strikes...

Ned may be getting out managed by Dusty Baker in the next couple minutes. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/frown.gif

[iluvlamp]

ugg and argghhh

[Vgmastr]

Throw strikes, for crying out loud.

[Vgmastr]

Two batters too late there, Ned.

[And That]

Why are we even going through this? Does Ned want the Reds to turn the lineup over?

[thablingster]

Please not Javier Valentin http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/eyes.gif.

 

If he beats us again. . . http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/frown.gif

Shouse is two batters too late.

[pitchleague]

Mota getting the Turnbow treatment from the crowd.

[pitchleague]

Better late than never, I suppose.

[Blancofan1]

was anyone else up in the pen, or is this Shouse's batter even if Dusty pinch hits?

[thablingster]

This is Shouse's inning to lose.

 

[owbc]

This is the game right here.

[thablingster]

I can deal with Norris Hopper. lol

[GoudaBrew]

So we could have put Shouse in with a runner on 1st to get a lefty out, but now the bases are juiced and a base hit puts them ahead. What are you thinking Yost?

[Blancofan1]

Ned says, "thanks for bailing me out norris"

[pitchleague]

Great move. They bring in the righty. Who didn't see that coming?

 

Strike one.

[hkdakd]

I'm crossing my fingers!

 

go shouse!

[AmyintheSouth]

Yeah, that didn't need to get that interesting. Phew.

[And That]

Lucky bounce there. Ned... I dunno about that.

[tdeggie]

even if this works out, Yost messed up here IMO
