I know it's easier said than done, but Hart needs to start trying to go the opposite way with a man on 3rd. That's at least the third time this season he has pulled one which resulted in the runner getting caught in between 3rd and home.

You're assuming they'll take the cinch DP there and clear the bases. Worst thing is not run and let them get the DP without scoring

 

Would love to see the Brewers make them pay for doing that

Bill Hall can't hit Righties.

[crewcrazy]

Well that sucked.

[hurricanecrush]

A strikeout or a popup would have been okay there.

[ELCABALLO45]

Im really starting to Hate Bill Hall

[madjeff66]

Then again, the Brewers are hitting so many 2 hop grounders to middle-infielders that you can pass on the first DP opportunity.

 

This just isn't any fun right now.

[Brewcrewin07]

I think it's time to consider a Counsell/Hall platoon. Counsell wouldn't hit any worse.

[danzig6767]

I was trying to figure out what route the Brewers would take to strand Braun at third with nobody out. I was figuring popout, then the DP, but the result was the same and expected.

I still like him, but he can't hit righties and he is approaching Rickie Weeks type batting AVG. I really wish Branyan was up to platoon with him at 3B.

At least Weeks still has the ability to get on base every once and awhile. Hall only gets on base if he's hitting a home run.

Hall is useless right now @ bat

[ELCABALLO45]

Did I really just hear Seth McClung might go to the rotation? Have we really fallen this far?

[Fatter than Joey]

nice ab Hardy

Can you think of any better options right now?? I'd much rather give McClung a shot then keep trotting Bush out there every 5th day.

 

[endaround]

And Dillon sits on the bench while we see Counsell and Gwynn....

 

Bring up Nelson

[brewmann04]

Better watch out Pirates won tonight

[Lake Geneva Brewer Fan]

[sigh] Come on, Crew!

[nohopspanther]

This team completely lacks any smarts when it comes to plate appearances and when to wait for a pitch, like the latest horrible AB by Rickie.

Weaver would be better then Seth. I hate Dave Bush more than anyone in this world, but even Dave Bush is better then McClung. McClung is perfect where he is.

[crewcrazy]

How about sticking Joe Dillon at 2B for a couple games? Didn't he play there last year in the game where Graffanino tore his ACL?

[ELCABALLO45]

Albert Pujols is so good

[crewcrazy]

Nasty pitch by Torres to Ludwick. Can he start?

 

Seriously, I'm just throwing out random names now and trying to figure out if they could start like this is an OOTP game or something. Maybe the Brewers could experiment with the idea that Piniella used down in Tampa about the relief pitchers starting the game and the starters finishing the game.

[dlk9s]

All we need is a bloop and a blast.

[hurricanecrush]

I'm feeling at least one run in the bottom of the eighth.

 

SHOULD WE GIVE THE RALLY CAPS A TRY?

 

Edit: I'm putting my Brewer hat on too.
