Terrible AB there. Insult to injury.

[eanelson4]

All I know is that McClung throws 96+ so I hope he gets someone in the ribs

[rluzinski]

Yeh, I can only hope McClung starts hitting guys as well. It will go well with all his walks.

 

Screw winning, this is about being a man!

[fallingleaves]

Come on prince, terrible at bat. Branyan batting 5th? yikes.

[eanelson4]

Screw winning, this is about being a man!

 

Indeed

[trwi7]

Can't be wasting these oppurtunities. UGH!

No blue?

I'm trying to figure out why Braun was beaned. He hit 2 homers and had 5 ribbies in the sweep. Did he do something on his homer in the 10-1 game that completed the sweep?

 

edit...really awful 2nd grade grammar

[thablingster]

If it were intentional, my guess is the Astros took offense to Braun's fist pump after his HR on getaway day of the last series which at that point made the score 7-1. That'd be pretty weak if they were that petty, though.

[B2k1121]

Braun hit a HR last year where he just slowly walked towards first right after he hit it, wasn't that against the Astros?

[iluvlamp]

bling- pretty petty in that case.

[trwi7]

Beanball wars. Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[rluzinski]

Baseball is so stupid.

[thablingster]

It was. He had the head nod and just strolled to first. He also had a HR in Houston against Lidge with an exaggerated fist pump.

 

So Tejada gets the beanball? Fair enough. lol

 

 

[iluvlamp]

I am glad to see the retaliation. No ump warning so let's hope that's that.

[endaround]

Putting men on in front of Berkman-thats strategery!

[COOOOP]

Seth channels the spirit of Rluz!

[pebadger]

As long as Berkman doens't hurt us, I'm OK with this.

[B2k1121]

I'm glad to see the retaliation only if Berkman gets out.

[fallingleaves]

Good for Seth, the Braun pitch was inexcusable.

[B2k1121]

Yay that worked out well.

[thablingster]

LOL, beanball wars.

 

Isn't that what happened last time, too?

[trwi7]

Yay I'm so glad we put a runner on base for free!

[rluzinski]

Ned Yost and everyone who called for that HBP just look stupid right now. I don't care if that's PC or not to say.

[iluvlamp]

Touche, Rluz.
