The scary thing is that one bad pitch from Torres could wipe out the entire night of success.

[jhart05]

Bill Hall needed to score on that drive by Kendall. He assumed the catch on a tough play.

 

 

I don't know. That was a tough call for Hall.

 

Ankiel has one of the best arms in the league and it wasn't hit too deep.

 

He should be able to tag on that play with Ankiel running towards the wall, so you want to stay close.

If he gets too far off, there is a possibility of a DP if he catches it.

From his angle, he probably couldn't see it hit him in the heal of the glove and bounce off.

 

Then since it wasn't hit too deep, with Ankiel's arm, there's a chance he gets thrown out at home.

 

Kind of a "caught in no-man's land" situation there.

 

Plus Hall isn't the exactly one of the best baserunners on the team.

Ludwick will be seen tonight still and they still have a couple pesky players that might get them to Pujols.

[Trowekamp]

I hear Turnbow is relatively free this time of year.

Maybe we should make him a CF then.. I guarantee at this point he is a better CF then he is a RP

[MadisonBrewerBlue]

mota, gagne, and riske.....sally torres one more please

[ILuvDaBush]

And one good swing by Prince could have us counting our chickens before they've hatched...

[jhart05]

If they win this thing 3-2, I'm gonna...I don't know...something.

[moofnelson]

Jeez, the Dodgers scored 8 runs off Kip Wells in the 1st inning. I guess he's not Cy Young afterall.

[lukevan]

There was no reason for hall to tag. If Ankiel catches it there are two outs and he's already at second. He should've been halfway to third and he would've scored on that play.

if we don't score and we see Pujols in the ninth its over

[ELCABALLO45]

Braun looked bad during that at bat

[Trowekamp]

Brewers with only 3 K's tonight.. how enjoyable to watch a game where they put the ball in play..

[Brewcrewin07]

BTW, how is it that the Cubs miss Brandon Webb both times they have played Arz this year?? http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/frown.gif

[ILuvDaBush]

Well LaRussa is going to look really bad when Prince tattoos a fastball. That...or they walk him. But Prince is not going back to the bullpen empty-handed.

And Haren this time.

I think some claimed the game was over in the 1st...so you're a little late on this one!

 

I will never get the "it's over" comments. Why play when losing or facing a good opponent? Playoff teams don't think like that and to be honest Brewers fans shouldn't either.

[kiwi brewer]

Braun looked bad during that at bad.

 

not sure if that was on purpose or not, but you are correct. that was definitely an At Bad.

[moofnelson]

Didn't Ron Villone pitch for the Brewers about 20 years ago? This must be his grandson.

[ILuvDaBush]

Ponce de Villone

If I was a Rockies fan, I would have to think that game is over. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

Yeah, I suppose.

 

But it looked like he was going to catch it, and if you're at third, maybe you get lucky with a wild pitch.

 

I don't know, it's a tough call, you could go either way.

[Brewcrewin07]

Coco Cordero just blew another save for the Reds against SD tonight. Reds were up 4-3 in the top of the 9th and he has given up 3 Runs.

If Pujols comes up in the 9th, the best the Brewers could hope for at the time would be bases loaded and two outs and they still

have the lead. Let's just hope it doesn't get that far.

[jhart05]

COOORRRRRREEEEEEE!!

 

COOORRRRRREEEEEEE!!

 

COOORRRRRREEEEEEE!!

 

 

Let's go kid, give us a couple of insurance runs here.

[Trowekamp]

On the topic of whether "It's over" I believe this states my position:
