clark low and away slow curve, and still couldnt beat it...carlos lee up, should have stayed put...double would have scored him..

[davemakovec]

If he was going to try to steal, why did he go with two outs?

 

That inning was pretty much just a listing of bad plays and stupid mistakes.

 

Edit: I hate David Eckstein so much.

[DHonks]

almost wish he would have gone in foot first like Hardy does on steals, cause he would have upended Miles before he caught it, and would have had a chance to go to 3rd

[JohnBriggs12]

That inning had it both, bad managing and bad execution.

Now instead of Turnbow, he's turning the game over to Kolb.

 

La Russa is managing rings around Yost today.

[Silicon Based Lifeform]

when do we stop sending Clark?

 

When Stem Cell Therapy advances to the point that Ned Yost will benefit from an injection into his head.

[SeriesFinale]

I'm glad I've been in a meeting the last hour, it looks like I saved a few years of my life.

[Bruce Ciskie]

Eckstein wills another base hit.

 

Maybe when Jeff Passan is done kneeling in front of Derek Jeter, he can move on to Eck.

[MatttyJay]

why does the Brewers coaching staff perpetuate the mistaken belief that if they have faith in Clark, he will be as fast as they want him to be? he's NOT a stolen base guy, no matter how much they love his moxie...

[Jimbo]

Eckstein with a hit. MAN!

[GPieters]

Eckstein...I'll be cursing that name for the rest of my days.

[Brewer Fever]

Cards hitters vs Kolb...

 

Eckstein...1 for 4

Encarnacion...1 for 5

Pujols...1 for 6

 

all hits for those 3 were singles

[afeter]

the cardinals dont' bunt, even when they know they only need one and albert coming up.

The Crew's gonna get swept.

I think Kolb mows em down 1-2-3.

 

We score 2 in the 11th and it's T-Bow time.

[endaround]

Yost botched that big time. You bunt Cirillo and you know you are left with Jenkins versus a lefty and then Isringhouse. Why give up a batter and an out against Wainright in order to see that?

[Silicon Based Lifeform]

well this game is over....that team meeting really worked wonders for Yost....to bad the players can't call a meeting to explain the deficiencies of the coaching staff.

[Rob]

What just happened?!?!?

[DHonks]

wow...Carlos took a homer away...3 feet over

While I see your point (and I agree with it - the sacrifice bunt is absolutely the most overused play in baseball IMHO), this decision is coming from a manager who once hit his pitcher eighth and the catcher ninth for the balance of a season.

 

El Caballo just saved a home run. OK...there's ANOTHER BREAK. Can we take advantage of something here?

[GPieters]

CARLOS!!!

[Team Canada]

Wow, thank you Carlos. That was scary.

[Brewer Fever]

On Gameday it looks like Carlos went up about 15 rows into the stands to grab that one.

 

Edit: If you want to see what I mean go to Gameday and click on "home outs". You'll know right away which one it was.

[mikerollins]

Scratch that. Haha. DP by Pujols??

[CportBadger]

Got past Pujols, let's get Rolen now and see if Carlos can't follow up his grab at the plate.

[GPieters]

Wouldn't it be great if Carlos saves the game, then homers in the 11th? Can you say...Contract Year? http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

[clancyphile]

A DP now would be nice...

 

But it's Pujols. A homer is more likely.
