5/1/06 Astros (Rodriguez) @ Brewers (Ohka) 7:05CST

[UeckerAddict]

Nevermind. The force is with Tomo.

[wisconsinfan47]

Whew.

 

Ohka gets out of it.

[brewerjamie15]

Ohka sure gave Rodriguez a nice pitch to bunt on. Kazoo should have thrown something higher than that to make it a tough bunt.

[adambr2]

Whew...that would have been a lousy way to give up 2 runs.

[markwitx]

got out of it with no damage done.

[davemakovec]

Tomo works the batters to get out of the inning. That was some nice work.

 

In other news, Tim Hudson closed out that game against the Rockies with one hit. To the pitcher. How ironic.

[DHonks]

good to see Rickie laying off the low pitches better. Starting to look like he did last July

[markwitx]

rickie steals 2nd

[COOOOP]

That was a pretty good throw by Munson I have to admit, but still, SB (apparently hit weeks on the batting helmet).

[markwitx]

were hitting the ball hard but right at people

[adambr2]

Acckk....runner on 2nd, nobody out, and no dice...c'mon guys....We need more than just the 1 run...

[davemakovec]

Once again we come up empty with runners in scoring position. Lead-off single + stolen base = three straight batters retired on ground balls.

 

Edit: do we know why Ohka is getting subbed out?

 

Update: Ueck says he left the game with discomfort. C'mon Jose.

[COOOOP]

LOL, the announcers during the break said:

 

we have two hits already?

yep, we are one of the hottest teams right now (paraphrased)

[COOOOP]

Capellan in, Ohka has some right shoulder discomfort.

[And That]

What happened to Ohka? I can't listen along.

[markwitx]

nice play prince. why is tomo out of the game?

[clancyphile]

Ohka's out with an injured neck/shoulder?

[adambr2]

Okha done after just 5? Am I missing something? Is he hurt?

[COOOOP]

They pulled Ohka before the start of the 6th inning, Astros announcers said something about Ohka experiencing some shoulder discomfort and Capellan was warming up when the Brewers were batting.

[markwitx]

bob hasn't said a word

[COOOOP]

I am very impressed with Fielder's fielding!

[markwitx]

nice inning for cappy2

[COOOOP]

If we were at the Astros, they would probably have three homers into that stupid porch they have, we would have one.

[COOOOP]

They are doing the Prince shift, make em pay prince!

[DHonks]

nice Billy. How about a 5 hr inning now
