2011-07-09 Reds (Cueto) at Brewers (Marcum) [Brewers lose, 8-4, 10 innings]

[jwill535]

when you get that kind of contact on the first pitch, I dont mind that.

[MillerParkSouth]

kind of surprising that Axford isn't back out there. only threw 11 pitches in the 9th.

[natronek8780]

I hate Jay Bruce so darn much. Like I said earlier, when we keep him in the yard it's a victory.

[PrinceEatMeat]

Good thing Roenicke left Ax in for another inning. Oh wait...

[jwill535]

nice BP pitch there.

[WisconsinSportsRule]

I figured that was going to happen when you don't convert on that kind of an opportunity.

[natronek8780]

We can get to Cordero again, but it's the bottom of the order...ugh

[jwill535]

and on cue the Cards win

[natronek8780]

Doug Melvin, please tell me you're watching this game and realize how obvious your moves are at the All-Star Break?!

[MillerParkSouth]

how does Yuni miss that?? Melvin really needs to do something about him over the break. enough is enough with this clown.

[jvrocksaz]

This game should be over... Morgan needs to get that bunt down instead of taking strikes... I understand that he had a HUGE catch earlier but he still needs to execute there in the bottom of the 9th!

[Funketown]

, deflected by SS Yuniesky Betancourt...

 

Let me guess, probably five or six feet of range needed?

[Mr QL]

Doug needs to get a real SS and DFA Betancourt or we will be lucky to be a 3rd place team

[davemakovec]

Was anybody surprised by that Bruce home run? Anybody at all?

[natronek8780]

Brutal turn of events in the last 30 minutes or so. We fail to capitalize on a golden chance to win in the 9th and then proceed to let them blow it wide open with terrible defense and the Cardinals complete a big comeback from 6-3 down in the 8th.

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

Nice D Yuni...good lord he's useless.

[MillerParkSouth]

good thing we took Ax out. this one hurts.

[Mr QL]

I should of been a ball player, chumps like Estrada and Betancourt make more money than I ever will and have absolutely no talent at all

[hawing]

Let's avoid stuff like "turd" and "garbage" to describe players. There is no need for posts as ugly as this half-inning just was.

 

Smallest of silver linings: at least it's not a save situation for the Reds.

[bucksman4]

How is Estrada in the major leagues. Look at his career stats...he's terrible.

[owbc]

Ok a brief word here specifically about the pithy, condescending posts.

 

I understand that everyone (including myself) is frustrated that the Brewers threw away the game. However, this is not a vent thread and we do not need posts that are essentially a show of frustration and do not contribute anything to the discussion.

 

Thanks.

[bucksman4]

Why would they blow Cordero here? If they have a save situation tomorrow, he will have to go 3 straight days...

[Mr QL]

8 or so more double and we'd be right back in this game

[owbc]

This is not helping Cordero get back on track. A few more hits and Plush or Hart could come up as the tying run.

[Funketown]

Why would they blow Cordero here? If they have a save situation tomorrow, he will have to go 3 straight days...

He could use the exercise...

 

I'm really wondering when Yuni's final straw will be. Of course, as I type this, I see in play, run(s). I think something has to happen over the break or at least before the deadline.
