Insurance runs would've been nice, considering it's Ethier-Kent-Ramirez in the 9th inning. The tortured Brewerfan in me thinks this one feels like a stomach-punch game in the making. Prove me wrong, Sal.

[sheethead]

This will be a tough one for Torres. Good audition for some bigger games coming up later this year. Build that Confidence Sal.

 

Edit: I mean Shouse. Weird.

[yount19.u]

You know what, good job Ned. Goes with the match up instead of just using his closer because that's what your supposed to do. Now they just need to execute.

[logan82]

Interesting move bringing in Shouse against a lefty.

[ELCABALLO45]

Not a good start...

[Schlitz001]

I thought it was the right move, but Shouse couldn't get the out. Let's get a DP here.

[sheethead]

WTG Shouse. Way to make it even tougher on Torres. I agree the matchup thing was a nice idea, but I would've liked to see Torres start the inning there.

[jhart05]

Unbelievable.

 

Can't win.

 

Yost makes the right move and the player doesn't come thru.

[yount19.u]

Nevermind. I guess Shouse is just in there to set up the double play.

[bigredrobbo]

Hmmmm, how can we make Shouse walking Ethier to be Ned's fault? Hmmmm....

[Yeti73]

If I were a whiner, I'd say that those balls were being called strikes earlier for Lowe. Oh, who am I kidding, I'm whining. Come on Sal, get the DP

[ELCABALLO45]

Shouse just wants Kent to ground into a double play

[crewcrazy]

Shouse has one stinking job to do....ugh.

 

Hopefully Torres isn't rattled by having to come in with a runner on now. I can't fault Ned for trying to go with the match-up there, but hindsight says "Hell, Torres could've done that." I don't know if I'd be able to take it if Torres can't nail this down.

[pebadger]

I thhought Ned was too cute by half there. Not a terrible decision, but a closer is a closer, and Shouse is Shouse.

 

A loss here could be a crusher, A win could be equally as huge, but you don't want to waste all of the good that happened. I don't see it ending well, but I hope I'm wrong.

[burniebrewer]

I need to turn this off because not a single word coming out of my mouth is suitable for this website.

[Ennder]

ugg

[crewcrazy]

J.J. Hardy has had a brutal game defensively....ugh.

[thablingster]

Wow, that was the most routine ground ball you'll ever see.

[PeaveyFury]

Holy freaking crap, JJ.

[Schlitz001]

That's irony.

[burniebrewer]

Quit being cute and just get the first out.

[pebadger]

Give it away, give it away give it away now.

 

Ugh. Just trying to be too quick. This team fades in the limelight.

[jhart05]

After all those great defensive plays, we see this.

 

Oh man.

[brewcrew00]

Ugh, walk and an error, this isn't going to be good.

 

And as I'm typing it's tied up.

[PeaveyFury]

That's about as unfair a blown save as you'll ever see for a pitcher.
