7/5/08 Pirates (Maholm) at Brewers (Bush), 6:05 PM CDT


They're going to IBB Braun to pitch to Prince. Prince has been awful lately, but Prince doesn't take well to this type of disrespect.

Prince is like the incredible hulk..

Good win tonight. Nice to see Prince go oppo with that pitch.

 

Break out the brooms tomorrow and hope a little home cooked Soup gets the job done.

Great victory.

 

I don't get to watch to many post game interviews on MLB.TV, but it seemed like Trenni was really prodding Prince by asking if he was personally insulted that Braun got intentionally walked in front of him. She asked it twice, but the fact of the matter is that with one out and a runner on second, the Pirates would have just as easily walked Prince to get to Braun if the order was reversed. I don't think it had anything to do with Prince personally and everything to do with setting up the double play.

Why wouldn't you IBB there and setup the double play? The runner is already in scoring position, so you don't lose anything...

Kendall absolutely should have been bunting in the 8th inning, and that mess I saw never, ever should have happened.

 

BUT

 

The Brewers won, so...lovely strategy, wonderful execution, brilliant teamwork, and thoughtful analysis.

 

Die Cubs.

 

Die Cardinals.

 

Die Cubs and Cardinals.

You have a good match up RH vs RH with a guy who gets himself out at an almost 70% rate to get to a favorable match up for the Brewers.

Fan is short for fanatic.

I blame Wang.
