For those of us with no video, can someone describe the Fielder play?

[fondybrewfan]

This is promising, come on get a clutch hit, get the pitch count soaring!!!!!!!

[chrisisoutrunning]

bob said they went to second with the throw and it was in the dirt, sorry, i'm not much help, but that's what i know

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

Let's chase Harden early...the middle relief is the soft underbelly of the Cubs.

I don't know whether Sveum is to credit for all this plate patience lately, but I like it anyways.

[fondybrewfan]

If the throw to 2nd was in the dirst shouldn't there be an error somewhere?

[trwi7]

Play was in the hole towards first base. DeRosa tried to make an off balance throw to second to get Durham but Durham turned towards right field to make the throw almost impossible. It hit Durham and bounced towards shortstop.

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

C'mon Craig...at least get that pitch count over 40.

[dlk9s]

Ick. Looks like Corey got screwed on the first strike.

 

EDIT: Thanks for the description.

[trwi7]

Hey, three walks in the inning, Hart takes a called strike and then swings at two pitches out of the zone and strikes out. Fantastic!

[markedman5]

Durham made a veteran play. The ball was hit in the hole and he took a wide route to 2nd and the ball hit him in the back.

[trwi7]

Counsell sucks. Swung at ball four and swung at another pitch that would've been a ball.

[markedman5]

Can't waste opportunities like that against a good pitcher.

[Gobias Industries]

Ick. Looks like Corey got screwed on the first strike.

Yeah, it was a bit outside. I'm sure you can tell by Gameday, but the 2nd pitch he swung at was eye level.

We made a smart play running the bases? Dale Sveum is clearly the man.

corey hart has zero chance against harden. counsell at least gave himself a chance that at-bat. Very disappointing to not take advantage of Harden there.

Quick Question:

 

Is there a setting where I can automatically stay in topic after I post rather than having to check the "Stay in Topic" button on every post? I forget to check it all the time.

[GormanHarvey]

Thanks for nothing Corey and Craig. Striking out on ball 4 after 3 walks? Really Craig?

 

Silver lining alert = we got a run and jacked up Harden's pitch count

 

For anyone watching on TV - would Brauns ball have gotten out if not for the wind?? Thanks

[tristarscoop]

It's news to me that there's a "stay in topic" button. Fascinating the things you learn when you pay attention.

[dlk9s]

I'm not really complaining, as I'm thrilled the Brewers made Harden throw a million pitches, but that's the second time in the last few games that we had the maximum players possible hit while only scoring one run.

 

Hey, we're winning, so that's good.

Counsell also swung and misses on two pitches at eye level.

[dpapo]

Counsell swing at a high and inside pitch that wasn't even in the same time zone of being strike, what a wasted chance to score a few runs.

[tristarscoop]

Bushy! Please let the robot Dave Bush be here today.

[dlk9s]

It's going to be awesome when Bush pitches a no-hitter at Wrigley today.

[markedman5]

I have no idea if Braun's ball would have gotten out or not but from his reaction he sure thought it would have.

 

I was caught well short of the wall.
