Not bad at all....If Weeks continues to slop it around out there, it's nice to know we've got Counsell on board. And yes.....this may happen. I hope it doesn't though.

Considering that he is 2nd out of our 4 infielders in .OPS, I'd say Weeks isn't a problem. He's one of the few that have been somewhat consistent getting on base and consistently puts decent at-bats together.

He and Fielder get the game balls today.

Shouse only throwing one pitch, gets the win.

 

That's funny.

get the stat guys working to see how many times that's happened before.

 

 

While you guys are digging, let us know if you find one that includes a zero pitch win. I seem to recall someone coming in and picking off the runner to get out of the winning, and then going on to win. Sound familiar to anyone else?

According to baseball-reference's play index, this would be the 90th time a pitcher got a win on one pitch since 1956. I don't have a subscription so I can't verify if this is true or if they are just missing some data. If you put less than or equal to 1 pitch in the query, you come up with something like 239 matches--but it's obvious that many of those are the result of incomplete data.

 

Dean Stone got credit for the win in an all-star game when he picked off a guy trying to steal home.

Apparently it happened 5 years ago. Here's a thread that links to the box:

Also mentions a CS home in the 54 All-Star game that led to a zero pitch win.

 

While I was at it, Vizcaino's 1st 2 wins in 2002 were both with 1 pitch; he got 2 outs with the first one.

 

A couple years ago, the Brewers won when Stanton balked in the winning run before throwing a pitch but the guy who put the runner on 3d got the loss.

I wonder if anyone has had a zero pitch loss? I'd think that'd be near impossible since you can't balk a guy on base right?

[And That]

You might be able to pin a loss on a guy if he came in with a runner on first and two out, game tied, and three consecutive errors on pickoff throws made the guy score.

Well, save for the usual Gagne Terrors

 

I was never even worried. He gave up a hit and a walk. He has looked to goo lately to not pitch out of it. Save #4, many more to come.

[iluvlamp]

I am happy that the Brewers won the game.

[SeriesFinale]

I was never even worried.

He had two on with no outs and he looked terrible in the process. We all remember how that scenario went the last time. I was worried.

nice come back for the brew crew and nice hitting from Counsell .Kudos to the pen today for keeping them in the game

[jhart05]

Anyone with DirecTV able to watch the replay of the game last night?

 

I completely forgot to check if it was on.

 

Apparently, those with regular cable were able to see it, and they will be doing this a few more times when the Crew has a day game.
