Will someone please tell Hernan not to take more than a 1 step lead off of second base.

[GormanHarvey]

Apparently the only way you can hit is if you are not in the everday line-up keeping you from being infected by the funk

Sure hasn't helped Gross. Gwynn and Kapler were doing fine in their halves of the platoon.

I guess I was including Gross as an everyday'er because has had to be lately and I was not including Kap and TGJ because they are hurt. It was just a generalization and an apparent poor attempt at some levity

The Hurricane can play 2nd...

Interesting.

Alright Weeks! Way to wear that. Come on JJ!

 

[PrinceFielder28]

nice 1st and 2nd no outs...and the heart of order coming up...time to get those bats going boys

[Yeti73]

Hurricane is always getting tricked by pickoffs. A look at our box score is so annoying. one hit by a batter 1-7 and that was a dink from Braun.

 

Weeks now in sole possession of 5th in HBP in Brewer history surpassing Yount?

[SeriesFinale]

Craig and Hernan? The so-called mashers in this lineup need to take notice.

Seth McClung with three scoreless innings? I think our pitching staff does, too!

[Oldcity]

It would be swell if they strung something together.

[BrewCrewForever]

Come on Brauny! Two out there for you.

[uwbufu24]

Let's tie this thing!

[endaround]

Ned Yost playing for one run down 2! The math is on our side!

[BrewCrewForever]

Well a sac fly aint that bad. Ueck got excited for a second and I thought it was gone.

[Oldcity]

Gosh do I hate the sac bunt.

[SeriesFinale]

Wasn't Prince in this situation in the 8th last night?

[BrewCrewForever]

Boy if there was ever a time for Fielder to hit that 1st HR NOW would be that time.

[sargennm]

Come on prince. This is it. This is your time.

[sheethead]

Please Prince, just one base hit. PLEASE!

[jwill535]

is there anyone else that has zero faith in Prince here, i am thinking weak grounder to first

[uwbufu24]

Here comes that leftie to get Fielder to hit a weak dribbler http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/mad.gif

Gosh do I hate the sac bunt.

 

The bunt allowed them to score the run on the sac fly. If Hardy had done the same thing as Braun, they would still have 1st and 2nd with 2 outs. Why not get the tieing run into scoring position with your two best run producers coming up? I was quite glad that Yost had Hardy bunt, especially the way the whole offense is struggling.

Last night with two outs in the 8th and Flores pitching with men in scoring position that was the same result

[Oldcity]

All that sac bunt did was make it so the Brewers won't take the lead. And leave first base open for Prince.

[BrewCrewForever]

Yeah the bunt seemed like a nice idea. Props to Ned.

[adambr2]

Sometimes I really despise smallball. Especially considering how we've been hitting the ball lately, we need every out that we can get -- we can't afford to give any away.

[sheethead]

Wasn't Prince in this situation in the 8th last night?

 

Yes. Result: K

[Yeti73]

If Hall is in the 5 spot, they pitch around Prince.
