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

Insurance run! Watch Nyjer fly around the bases.

It is nice to watch another teams defense look terrible

[topper09er]

Not often do you see a double that touches the infield dirt but doesnt do down one of the lines

T-Plush warming up for the classy gentleman's post-game interview.......

[YoGasKpose]

I have no idea how that is an RBI, but I love it!

 

T-Plush!!!

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?

WHOA, were you seriously comparing me to WOAH SOLVDD for making that statement? Hawkins came in only allowing 4 walks in 31 innings.

Bill with some good analysis about the lack of speed in the cards outfield hurting them tonight

[Raw Biz]

Wow, not sure how that wasn't a DP.

[natronek8780]

I hope RR realizes that JHJ will be a better option most days than Flip...

[craigharmann]

Wow, not sure how that wasn't a DP.

Furcal didn't want to get hurt.

[topper09er]

I hope RR realizes that JHJ will be a better option most days than Flip...

Plus JHJ has more grit so it should be a no brainer

That ball is hit deeeep, way back, and tagged out by Lucroy.

 

Nice hustle, Albert.

 

 

Best part of that was the cards announcer saying: "brewers get a break..." as they went to commercial.

I wish I could be listening to the St. Louis feed http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/frown.gif

What part of Hawkins not having control makes him a good choice for inning #2?

[topper09er]

So RRR sees JHJ as a defensive backup for Lopez but not Yuni or Casey...oh boy

[topper09er]

Remove Hawk now

[pebadger]

There. Now the calls are even. ;-)

I don't get this either. Sure you might not want to use KRod again but there are other options.

Kameron Loe?

[ilovebeer]

We can't let any more men on the bases, I don't want Albert up in the 9th.

I dont care if we are up by 4

[FVBrewerFan]

Does RR think JHJ is Farris? There have been a few roster moves recently...

Disregard.

[brwrsfan]

Uh....so we put in JHJ as a defensive replacement...the pitchers spot is due up in the bottom of the 8th, wouldn't that have been a pretty much PERFECT spot for a double switch? Even if Hawkins gets out of this inning, that still was poor management in my opinion. K-Rod was up and ready, might as well put him in. Scoring 1 run shouldn't make a difference in a game like this.

[Eck17]

Nice inning by Hawkins even if he needed 4 outs.
