2011-7-31 Astros (Myers) at Brewers (Narveson) - [Brewers win, 5-4]

Wow, great wheel play!

 

Well done, Brewers infield.

[dlk9s]

I think it was more "How is that Brewers team so bad on the road?"

 

Well, to a well-eduacted fan, yes, But to the average guy who only follows his own team pretty closely it has to be hard to be impressed if you only see the Crew when they come to your town.

That's my point. If you just saw the Crew come into town and stink like they have stunk, you'd walk away wondering how they are in first place.

 

That play by Counsell is worth at least a hit.

[owbc]

In World Series road games, they can DH Counsell and let the pitcher bat.

[dlk9s]

I hope the Angels win just so they can say, "See? Bunting was a good idea."

[topper09er]

With 2 errors in the 8th the Tigers have allowed a run but still no hits. The Angel are 4 outs away from participating in 2 non-shutout no hitters in a week. The previous time this happened in also featured the Angels losing to the Dodgers without allowing a hit.

Or they just walk away thinking their team is awesomesauce..

Pittsburgh re takes the lead on a 2 run bomb by Overbay.

[pebadger]

For those watching, was the error legit? Did it look like Verlander maybe "created" his own error?

 

So, the smart move is to bring in the pen, right? Verlander's PC is at 110.

[topper09er]

No hitter is broken up

[craigharmann]

Verlander gave up a hit anyway, so it doesn't matter.

[yoyo49]

verlander's error was legit. a good throw beats aybar by a step.

[trwi7]

Kotsay providing a ton of value today.

[PrinceEatMeat]

Pirates are getting Ludwick.

[wOOgiE22]

Man Kotsay is really bringing the big stick today! Has he actually got it past the pitcher?

[bucksbeat]

That was a 3 Counsell inning..

[Raw Biz]

Kotsay back to his normal, non-contributing self. Cut him and bring Carroll back up, who can at least play defense.

[topper09er]

Chris "Mackey Sasser" Narveson, throw the ball

[trwi7]

I hope the Angels win just so they can say, "See? Bunting was a good idea."

I hope the Tigers win because Verlander is on my fantasy team.

[markedman5]

So is this a quality start for Narvson no matter what happens from this point forward? Is that how the stat works?

[Raw Biz]

They just showed Verlander in the dugout and he made a motion to Aybar that he was going to hit him in the back the next time he faces him.

[topper09er]

So is this a quality start for Narvson no matter what happens from this point forward? Is that how the stat works?

No if you allow 4 earnies no quality start, even if you throw a CG and your in game ERA is only 4.00. If your ERA is 4.50 by allowing 3 in 6 you do get the QS.

[owbc]

Good time for a Prince Fielder cheese bomb.

[dlk9s]

I want another squeeze.

[thablingster]

I'm really glad to see Braun going first to third on balls again. We haven't heard much about the calf in a week or so.
