Crap. Long AB for Koskie, only to strike out swinging.

 

Guess we may as well bring out Shouse for another inning if Miller or Gross gets out too.

[jloos19]

Kent Mercker just struck out the side on us, we don't deserve to win for that reason alone.

[And That]

Merker of vintage out there tonight. Geez.

[adambr2]

Sheesh. Give me a break guys, that wasn't Mariano Rivera you were facing in the 8th.

 

GIDP with the bases loaded by Lee is looming large right now.

Here we go..

 

I have a feeling this one is going 11.

[badgerfan.tgf]

And for the second day in a row we decide to leave the bats in the dugout after we score a few during one inning. What gives???

 

The pen isn't gonna keep puttin' up 0's for long.

Taking Shouse out for Wise...I have a bad feeling about this one.

I could see some fireworks in the ninth. We're deep in the pen and you know what that means. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/frown.gif

I'm thinking one of the pens is going to break down before then.

[sbrylski]

Why take Koskie out now? Isn't Koskie better defensively than Cirillo?

[mastershake76]

There goes Shouse...the only guy left in the bullpen capable of putting up a goose-egg for a whole inning. We better warm up the bats in the 9th, we're gonna need 'em.

[adambr2]

Oh great...it's Wise....

 

Would have rather left Shouse in, even against 3 righties.

[JoeH33]

Grrrreat, another Wise implosion.

[adambr2]

What sense does this substitution make? We put Cirillo in for Koskie, and effectively take our best pinch hitter out of the equation for the pitchers spot in the 9th? Makes no sense to me.

Leadoff double.... man alive, what in the world is going on with Wise?

[berniebrewer4life]

holy cow, a hit!

[mastershake76]

....and it begins

[jloos19]

Nice job Wise.

[And That]

I'm going to go bang my head against a wall instead of watch this inning.

[badgerfan.tgf]

Wise = Bad

[badgerfan.tgf]

Wise is like Turnbow in that he can't locate his pitches.

[JenksFan5]

Cirillo, our best pinch hitter?

 

I think you seriously overlooked Ned's secret weapon, Chad Moeller.

I'm 99% sure it was a double switch, so Cirillo DOES hit in the pitchers spot in the 9th.

[adambr2]

Great move, Ned. Shouse was mowing them down, but you heart the righty/righty lefty/lefty matchup so much, that you just couldn't stick with our best reliever and had to go to a guy who has been getting shelled every outing. Solid move.

[badgerfan.tgf]

Can someone tell me why the Reds weren't bunting with Kearns?
