Well, I think it's time to at least try something different with the lineup. We can't do any worse offensively.

Our forfeit lineups worked last year. I think we should try that.

 

[owbc]

Considering we only have 2 singles, even if Hart/Hardy were batting 1-2 tonight, we still wouldn't have scored any runs.

[owbc]

Looks like it's about time for me to leave work.

 

I very much enjoyed getting paid to follow the game for the last 80 minutes, but it's time to get stuff done.

Pvt. Joe Bowers: I just need you to tell me how to get to the time machine.

 

Frito: Oh, that's easy. You go down by the museum and stuff... It's like- it's, like, by the museum... Sorta by... Actually, not really. More like on the street, you go, um... Wait, let me start over. Okay, you know where the time machine is?

[bucks2281]

If the Brewers do lose tonight, I pray that they don't score, for embarassment's sake. I have a feeling Hardy or Dillon will hit a cheap HR in the top of the 9th to make it 6-1 as opposed to 6-0.

[Dustin Block]

Anyone else think Yost is gone before the 50th game?

[LUKE232323]

Just in time for a Weeks infield chopper.

[JrDave2304]

OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

RUNS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[LUKE232323]

Or a 500 foot HR.

[sheetswannabe]

Wow Bill... "That should be an infield hit"

 

2 seconds later after the hit was changed to a error.

 

Bill: "good call, he didnt use his feet so much"

 

WEEKS!!!!!!! Now Fielder and Hardy have to go deep for my prediction to be right!

[iluvlamp]

Something happen?

[Marc Newfield of Dreams]

OHHH HAPPY DAAAYYYYY!!!

[bucks2281]

Just in time for a Weeks infield chopper.

Jinx!!!!

[pebadger]

Can someone with a DVR rewind and confirm, please?

[Paulus88]

Wait the Brewers are allowed to touch home plate? where have i been?

[LUKE232323]

Just in time for a Weeks infield chopper.

Jinx!!!!

Yep. Here comes a Braun K.

 

[yfinn6]

Wow, that was a bomb from Rickie. I woke up because my mouth hurt from my freakin' wisdom teeth and decided to turn on the game and they score. Maybe I'll stick around for a minute or two.

[thablingster]

Marlins got Rickrolled.

 

Two hits in a row? Wow. lol

[marquettefan13]

Wow - I was beginning to wonder if the Brewers were ever going to score again :-).

[brewtank34]

WEEEEEEEEEKS!!!!!!!!

Wow. Oh, how sweet it is to see a number other than 0 on the scoreboard. Let's keep this up!!

[LUKE232323]

You have to send Cameron here. Soft throwing righty and we're struggling to score runs.

[phxMILWfan]

Looks like Rickie used a slumpbuster last night!

[sheetswannabe]

442 feet!! Nice Shot Rickie!

[The Ignitor]

Gee, who would guess, a line-up full of strike out hitters might go on a long slump?

 

Well I appreciate the contribution of statistics to the game, the one stat-based wisdom thing I completely disagree with is ignoring strikeouts. While it is true that a strikeout has the same outcome affect as any other out, that ignores that possibilities of all that occur upon contact before the outcome is determined: it can be an out, a hit, a homer, a sacrifice advancing a runner, or an error. When one strikes out, the outcome is guaranteed to be an out (unless catchers drops it), while when one makes contact, there are numerous possibilities short of a sure out (including an error, which turns a near sure out into a base runner). Off my soapbox.

Either show some evidence or don't state it as fact.

 

Thanks.

So a guy who strikes out doesn't have his hits and HRs count? Huh?

 

We've gone through this over and over again. An average strikeout is a little worse than a normal out.
