8/10/08 Nationals (Lannan) at Brewers (Parra): 1:05 PM CDT

[dpapo]

Only 4 runs and one of those runs was in part due to an error. 16 left on base vs the mighty Nationals.

[JohnA17]

The continued disgusting offense by this team may bring it down. It is getting bizarre how poor they are with RISP. I guess we will have to hope for a solo HR. As usual.

[trwi7]

13 walks in 11 innings but only 6 hits. Pathetic.

[Gobias Industries]

13 walks and we can only score 4 runs, ug.

Just like Dusty says, you can't score runs by walking.

[crewcrazy]

My prediction of a game-winning pinch-hit by Sabathia is still alive. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

I like that the strike zone has been very fair today for both sides, despite the relatively low strike called and the high strike not.

 

Good game, though. But very frustrating when you score 4 runs on 19 baserunners. Gagne didn't help, but he was due (although, I would have had the pen throwing after the Zimmerman double).

Not liking where this inning is headed.

[crewcrazy]

Looks like Villa's getting a little tired out there. Hopefully he has one more out in him.

[trwi7]

Nice pick by Fielder. Quite possibly saved the game, I've been critical of his defense but that play was huge (no pun intended http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif ) Just a horrible throw by Hall.

[yfinn6]

Hall just tried his best to jack that up, but Fielder bails him. Thanks Princy.

[jjfanec]

How about 14 K's and 1 BB for the Brewer's pitchers thus far today! That is impressive

[trwi7]

Counsell - Hardy who is 0-5 and Kapler who is 0-6 is exactlly who I want to see batting this inning.

[jjfanec]

I was hoping for CC to pinch hit

[crewcrazy]

Kendall pinch-hitting? I'd rather see Sabathia, personally.

 

One pitch pop-out...thanks for playing, Jason.

[trwi7]

Kendall? Ned actually pinch hit his backup catcher? Why not just put Sabathia in? You'd still have a backup catcher and put in a bigger homerun threat.

[Ennder]

Come on JJ end this, Mota is up in the bullpen for some reason so this one ends next inning.

[trwi7]

Six pitch inning for Manning. Way to make him work.

[yfinn6]

Goodnight all, it's 12:00 am here, and I have to be up early. I tried to stay up for this game, but the danged Brewers just don't seem to want to win. Good luck Brewers.

[jjfanec]

Come on JJ end this, Mota is up in the bullpen for some reason so this one ends next inning.

Really? What is wrong with Riske?

[Vgmastr]

Mota. Against the heart of the Nats order. Great.

[trwi7]

Are you serious? Ugh, we still have Riske, Shouse and McClung, all of whom I'd rather see over Mota. I hope DougJones43 is ready to scrap the "Weeks Ole" avatar and go back to the "Mota DFA" avatar.

[crewcrazy]

Ned says "Screw it, I want to go home" and puts in Mota. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

[Bernman23]

Yost might as well just kept our most reliable reliever in the ballgame if Kendall was our best option with nobody on and one out. Damn, I feel hopeless when either Kendall or Counsell are at the plate at this point.

[MillerParkSouth]

thank god I decided not to go to this game. i'd probably be breaking things at the stadium with how poorly we've played. I completely agree with whoever said it will take a solo HR for us to win it. Lord knows that's probably what everyone is thinking when they step into the batters box.
