2011-04-23 Astros at Brewers - [Brewers lose, 9-6, 10 innings; pre- and post-game audio at tail end of thread]

That was pathetic... also why not use Weeks there?

[Schlitz001]

BA made it sound like Weeks was unavailable for the day.

[The Truth]

Was that as dumb of a play as it sounded on radio?

Worse. Much worse

[COBrewerfan]

Weeks is hurt. He is getting the day off. At least know what is going on. That was dreadful baseball that inning.

[jjkoestler]

Insert obligatory DFA Almonte here

BA made it sound like Weeks was unavailable for the day.

RR said in the pre-game presser that Weeks was avail for pinch hitting duty. Needing a fly ball, why not a veteran with some pop to do that job? Instead, you send up an inexperienced MLB hitter that you know cant lay off a pitch below his knees.

[cnycerveceros]

Missed most of the game tonight. Got home just in time to see that last inning. And now I get to watch Axford.

[The Truth]

All things considered that was one of the ugliest half innings by both teams I've ever seen. Horrible defense by Houston and even worse baserunning by the Crew. That looked like a couple of Little League teams out there

[tommyboy42609]

I thought I heard BA say earlier that RR said Weeks could PH tonight? My bad.

Weeks fine. Available for PH

Gomez gets on with a bunt hit. Steals 2nd. Braun singles him home.

 

My prediction.

[cnycerveceros]

Great inning for Axford.

[theavrock]

Agreed. Ax looked great.

[cnycerveceros]

I hate watching Gomez fly out. I'd be much happier watching him ground out.

[lcbj68c]

I hate watching Gomez fly out. I'd be much happier watching him ground out.

That said, the previous inning, you could have bunted almonte for a sac and let the free swinging gomez fly out.

[lcbj68c]

Steal Braun?

[ninja33]

COME ON!

[chickinbrickin]

Braun is the man!!!

 

 

I didn't think there was any way he was going to score.

[jjgott]

Is there anything Braun can't do?

[thablingster]

Great slide by Braun. He five holed Quintero with his foot. Otherwise he'd have been out.

[jjkoestler]

PRINCE!!!

[adamb100]

good lord.

[GamelToe]

Whoever the jerk-off running mlb.com's live look-ins is... they are one sadistic dude.

 

I see Fielder rip a shot with Braun running then *cuts to blankness* grrrrrrrrr

[brewers19]

Braun needs to teach the rest of the team how to run the bases.
