Ugh. Offense please wake up.

[pretendastronaut]

This game is a nice buzz kill all over the place right now. Good to know the platoon also consists of getting McClung up in the pen to back Bush. Hopefully this platoon ends tonight.

[cruiserx43]

Umm Corey, you typically wait until the pitcher throws the ball?

[Yeti73]

What a stupid inning. What a stupid game. When is Cam going to wake up? I always am surprised when I look at his stats, as it seems his average should be well below .231

[Bruce Ciskie]

Exactly why on Earth is Hart even thinking of stealing in that situation? So Backe can walk Kendall and face the pitcher?

 

This team is capable of so many amazingly stupid things. Nice to see they take after their manager.

[bobskube]

Bush is fine. I have a big preference for him to be in over McClung.

 

However, Hall is playing far too much now. Needs to play about 50%, not 90%.

[ELCABALLO45]

Dave Bush's curveball is sexy

Just got to get that dig in, don't you.

[PeaveyFury]

Well, we're finally seeing the scope of Durham's defense.....

[razzzorsharp]

Could be a tough inning that we should be out of. Kaz should have been out with a K and Durham should have gotten to the ball.

 

And now a runs scores.

[Yeti73]

I have an email ready to go out to all my Cubs fans about the season starting to be sent after the crew wins tonight. I'm afraid I jinxed the heck out of them, but I figured we could get to Baacke. I still have faith, but it is running thin.

[bucks2281]

This platoon experiment has got to stop.

 

Look, now Mota's up. Is Ned giving up already?

[cruiserx43]

How's that pitching platoon working for you Ned?

[B2k1121]

So that's how you get hits with runners on base.

[Yeti73]

Bush is getting rocked. Gotta pull him here. maybe do a double switch to get the Muscle in there.

[razzzorsharp]

Hooray Kendall!

[ELCABALLO45]

Let Bush start the rest of the year already.

 

Branyan pinch hitting

[razzzorsharp]

Not the time to have Branyan hit, we need to get the runner over.

[bucks2281]

You know Yost will justify the platoon by saying: "Bushie pitched great!"

[TwinsBrewersWorldSeries]

i'm gonna be very irritable if we lose AGAIN, at HOME, after a 7-0 ROAD trip, with a chance to take the division lead TWICE. we should have atleast a 5 game lead on St. Louis by now http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

[Yeti73]

Don't quite get why we're putting Mota in and not McClung. Can anyone enlighten me?

[razzzorsharp]

Cmon Durham, just a single this time.

[bucks2281]

They're killin me tonight. Ugh

[Bruce Ciskie]

Don't quite get why we're putting Mota in and not McClung. Can anyone enlighten me?

 

Because McClung is only available for long duty, and it's already the sixth inning. Duh. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

[pitchleague]

wow. Mota. that is all that needs to be said.
