2011-08-01 Cardinals (Carpenter) at Brewers (Greinke) -- [Brewers win, 6-2]

Not sure on Hawkins in here. Great start to the inning too. Let's go Hawk...get tough!!

[hawing]

STL thinks C-Patt is their missing piece? Really?

[topper09er]

Why didnt Braun attempt to catch that with his groin?

[stalton]

How come Braun didn't jump for that one ala Holliday?

Greinke is one of those pitchers who proves that BABIP and K/BB aren't relevant peripheral stats to judge every pitcher based on. He's should be judged based on ERA/RA, and that's it. He refuses to risk walking even dangerous hitters after he's down in counts. It would behoove him to nibble and pitch backwards. Then he wouldn't be so predictable, and allow good hitters to get their timing right, and hammer the baseball.

I'm pretty sure Greinke is showing that they are completely relevant. 5 straight quality starts, 6 ER and 40 K. The results (ERA/RA) are finally starting to reflect what the peripherals have been showing all year.

I want Hawkins over Saito here. He throws straighter and we can't afford to allow baserunners. Bring in Saito if you get into the middle of their order.

WHOA? Is that you?

[topper09er]

Get K-Rod warming up...wait is it allowed for relievers to throw multiple innings?

[Oldcity]

God Hawkins

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

Please tell me K Rod or Saito is warming up.

[ilovebeer]

This is not good, I am scared what Fat Albert is going to do.

[jhart05]

K-Rod should be facing Pujols right now.

 

Hope it works out.

[FVBrewerFan]

I don't heart this Pujols/Hawkins match-up

[topper09er]

K-Rod Axford should be facing Pujols right now.

 

Hope it works out.

There fixed

Holding Breath

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

This should be K Rod here.

[Eck17]

Here we go...

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

Is there a higher leverage situation out there than this?

[dlk9s]

TREMENDOUS

[FVBrewerFan]

classsssyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

[Oldcity]

Pujols! Hahaha

[PrinceEatMeat]

Haha, that was hilarious.

[Raw Biz]

Hawkins totally meant to do that.

[markedman5]

Now that was classy!

[azcheesehead]

PERFECT!

[natronek8780]

That wasn't classy at all Lucroy! You should be ashamed you're such a cheater!
