It comes down to the roider. I guess more specifically a roider.

 

Edit: Stupid 40 year old roider. And great, the former Mallard Ryan Spilborghs is pinch running.

Hart is useless.

Haha, are you kidding me? So you'd rather see Kotsay out there then?

[PrinceEatMeat]

Well, Ax is doing a great job scaring the crap out of everyone.

[ilovebeer]

Hart shouldn't have dived for that ball

[StearnsFTW]

Just gotta make it interesting.

 

Come on Ax!!!

 

Bear down!! It's Ty Wigginton!

 

[hawing]

I am coming to hate the phrase "one strike away."

 

But sometimes it works! Brewers win!

[PrinceEatMeat]

Hart shouldn't have dived for that ball

Ok that's debatable, but even so why does one mistake make him useless?

[ReverendBrewmeister]

Dramatic 9th, but a win is a win!

[GamelToe]

wasnt pretty.. but it's a W.

[giffted1]

Hart shouldn't have dived for that ball

He absolutely should have. An out there is huge. That run doesn't really matter.

[ilovebeer]

BREWERS WIN BACK TO .500

[PrinceEatMeat]

Well, it wasn't pretty Ax, but you got it done. Nice win!

[ilovebeer]

He is not hitting at all.

[StearnsFTW]

Woohoo!!!

Sweep suits tomorrow!!!

[ilovebeer]

a game that goes under 3 hour and done at desent hour.

Axford: 13 strikes, 2 balls, 2 K

Hart shouldn't have dived for that ball

Of course he should have. He should have layed up and let it fall? An out would be huge. Whether he was on first or third really wasn't that big a deal.

[PrinceEatMeat]

He is not hitting at all.

So he's slumping a little. Still not anything close to useless.

Looks like that inning was just good old-fashioned hardball from Axford. Throw 95-96 mph strikes and see if the other guys can hit 'em.

 

Glad the Crew won, but from the other side Rocks fans have to be feeling exactly what Crew fans have after so many of Milwaukee's losses. Costly defensive lapse, not working the opposing starter very well late. Helps keep things in perspective when the Crew loses another one like this.

Nice gutsy inning Ax. Glad we got the win, but Hart really has to understand the situation there. Should have held up and kept Tulo to a single. That run is huge, because it makes everyone who comes to bat the tying run and with where they were in the lineup that is not something to mess with. No reason to give them the run by trying to make a play like that in that situation.

[ilovebeer]

Ok not useless just frustrated with him I guess.

Everyone would become the tying run whether Tulo was on first or third. Might as well try to get the out. If Hart thought he had a chance to get it, then he should try.

[pebadger]

If Hart lets it drop, every guy who comes to the plate is still the tying run. No real harm done. If he thinks he can make the play he should try to make the play.

[UeckerAddict]

Wow, pebadger. We mirrored each other on those posts.

Marcum is the unquestioned ace of the staff, huge performance tonight. The Rockies are a good team, good to take a series from them.
