It seems to sound like you guys think this game is in the bag. It is not close to being finished.

I don't know, looks pretty good to me:

on one hand, there is a ton of game left. On the other hand, the Brewers have Cordero and Turnbow both available tonight.

 

This game needs to be put away now with at least one run.

[funkyplaidcoat]

And why is Wise up again?

 

I guess we might need an extra bat to get that extra run

[BrewCrewForever]

really like Weeks when he gets on base. Coming into today he was on base 19 times and scored 14 of them....LOVING IT!

 

Weeks keeps reminding me more and more of Molitor. He's "The Ignitor Jr,".

[hawing]

Maybe call him 21st Century Ignitor.

 

I'll just point out here that it was 20 years ago this afternoon that the Easter Sunday miracle game occurred.

[Team Canada]

Interesting, CV's done.

[endaround]

The point is why is Wise getting warmed up in a 4 run game when he can't be used tomorrow if he comes in.

[endaround]

Turnbow's up

[DHonks]

Yeah, Ned must really want to get Hart home. I would have thought he planned on saving the pen. Of course, maybe an idea would be to do a double switch next time with Gross in LF for Mench, batting 9th

[BrewCrewForever]

Maybe call him 21st Century Ignitor.

 

That workd 21st Century Ignitor. Rickie Weeks.

[SoCalBrewfan]

I thought going to Villanueva made a lot of sense, for the exact reason that Doug articulated above...good chance to get the kid a stretch of innings and some experience. But I just don't get this pinch-hit decision and the subsequent pitching change it will require.

thesaurus.com tells me we could also call him

 

- the kindler

- mr. touch off

- scalder

- broiler

- the flicker-er

- trigger man

[SoCalBrewfan]

Call him Charlie McGee...starts fires with his mind!

And, yeah, I'm sure Ned saw a possible double switch and couldn't resist a chance for some Managing.

[Team Canada]

the kindler

 

 

Accordingly, Prince's new nickname will be Lighter Fluid.

[thablingster]

I thought Dan Kolb was lighter fluid? And before him Ben Ford/Ricky Bottalico?

[DHonks]

One reason perhaps to go to the closers (plural) might be that the heart of the order is due up

[bobskube]

I still need we need to able to put these games away by this point so that we can save our relievers. If we just had one more run, I bet Villy would still be in. Now that TBow is in, he may be doubtful for tomorrow or if he comes in, he may be less effective.

[clancyphile]

Get the sweep and hope Ben and Cappy can rebound on a regular rotation.

[craigharmann]

I like the broiler for Prince

[endaround]

A four run lead in the 8th is a game thats put away. The winning percentage is 97%.

[thablingster]

I am sure Ned factored in the fact we have Sheets on the mound tomorrow which means the game will be out of reach by the 5th anyway because he's a loser, unlike Jeff Suppan.

[Team Canada]

Of course, Turnbow's well on his way to walking the bases loaded..

[clancyphile]

And Turnbow has the yips...

 

UGH!

[bobskube]

The win% might be 97, but this game is not done yet by any means.
