2009-04-28 Pirates (Maholm) at Brewers (Bush) 7:05 PM CDT [Brewers win, 6-5]

[brewdude15]

lets see....bases loaded. two outs. do we get at least ONE run in?

 

EDIT: Of course not.

[Schlitz001]

Well at least they made Maholm throw some extra pitches.

[phxMILWfan]

I can't believe I'm saying this but, I think Kendall gets to that popped up bunt.

 

Anyone else think Rivera should have been a step up the line there to get the tag down earlier?

 

Nevermind he was in the right place.

[GormanHarvey]

Man I hope Mikey is ok. That looked like it hurt. I really thought Braun was going to throw Bixler out

[ELCABALLO45]

Nice play by the ball boy, I see he is wearing Yost's old number that explains it.

[cnycerveceros]

JJ runs like he's frolicking in the meadow.

[brewdude15]

hmm....once again....bases loaded, two out. do we get a run?

 

EDIT: Absolutely....not.

[rluzinski]

hmm....once again....bases loaded, two out. do we get a run?

 

I would expect them to about once every 3 times?

[phxMILWfan]

This team should just volunteer to have one of their runners go sit down when the bases are loaded. Ouch.

[GormanHarvey]

This is getting really frustrating. Its one thing if Rickie swings at a good pitch there or smokes one right at someone, but that was a pitch he could do nothing with

[cnycerveceros]

This has been a slow game. Still a lot of chances.

[SeriesFinale]

Good news is that Maholm's count is getting up there

 

Still, frustrating to see bases loaded left there like that...again...and again...

[cnycerveceros]

Anybody else just hear the Pirates TV guys singing about Maholm? BA's not that bad!

[phxMILWfan]

Yeah I did hear that. BA is still bad though. Not the worst, but close.

 

Outside of that singing, I have been impressed with the Pirates announcers today and yesterday.

[phxMILWfan]

I bet that really hurt Hinske. Stop crying, it wasn't like it was in the center of your back up near your head or anything.

[sargennm]

This is so dumb. No we're being punished for waht the pirates pulled two games in a row.

[GormanHarvey]

Good news is that Maholm's count is getting up there

 

Still, frustrating to see bases loaded left there like that...again...and again...

To me thats bad news. We have had some good swings and hard hit balls off him and historically have good numbers off him. Hope we see him for 2 more innings.

[cnycerveceros]

ouch.

[SeriesFinale]

There, is everyone satisfied now?

[jeffy]

That is some pretty sad retaliation by the Brewers

[ELCABALLO45]

Rev, its not like Bush did that on purpose.

[brewdude15]

Ugh this is getting ugly....we've wasted way too many chances tonight. A base hit in each of the two innings we had the bases loaded, and it'd be a tie game.

[SeriesFinale]

I'm with the Pirates' announcers (well, one of them)...I'm not 100% it was intentional.

 

Still, I'm never big on putting runners on.

[cnycerveceros]

There's no way that was retaliation. Bush has been somewhat wild all night. Just a bunch of bad pitches. If it was retaliation, I trust Bush could have actually hit them.

[phxMILWfan]

There, is everyone satisfied now?

 

No, there was no thud when the ball hit. Our star getting hit solid in the back is not equal to a couple of loose jerseys getting hit.
