2011-08-02 Cardinals (Garcia) at Brewers (Marcum) [Brewers lose, 8-7, 11 innings]

[Rhett16]

I am starting to like Yuni, not just because he is hitting well, but because I look at Counsell and realize how much worse it could be.

[MadisonBrewerBlue]

my 80 yr old dad just called yuni a rock star.

[igor67]

Yuni still has a long way to go, up until that bomb his Hot month still didn't involve him hitting even .300 and he had only hit 2 HRs. Don't let not completely sucking for a month, fool you just because it comes of the heels of completely terrible.

 

Still enjoy the moment!

Then there's Wilson with a professional at bat...

I'm not one to care much about strikeouts and such, but Wilson sure whiffs a lot for a guy who carries a lot average, and a low SLG%.

[owbc]

That was a very classy hissy fit by Garcia.

[Mr QL]

I can see La Russa crying about opening and closing the roof right now

[natronek8780]

Should've kept Carroll. I think many of us were saying that all along, but Wilson must be a bit grittier.

 

Then we could've had Hairston and Carroll in the lineup against tough lefties.

He looked amazingly overmatched.By Jaime Garcia.

...Jaime Garcia.

 

[endaround]

Really hope they realize the heat is killing the pitchers and that Marcum might not be good for 100 pitches

So one of the best pitchers in league?

+1, is this the Brewers Stadium Operations FU to the Cards?

[natronek8780]

Feels like the last inning for Shaun. Pinch hit for him to start the bottom of 6th, and then Saito, K-Rod, Axford to the finish.

[ilovebeer]

Yuni's fist pump on his homerun was not very classy.

If only grit were a measurable statistic that Ron could point to during his post game press conference.

[Glennron]

I really hope Marcum's leash is shorter than it is longer.

Not a pitcher who should make anyone look overmatched like that

Yea, with Hairston and Lopez on the team, we now have 4 guys who can play 2nd/SS/3rd, plenty redundant.

[endaround]

Not a pitcher who should make anyone look overmatched like that

Based on what? His K/9 of 7.45?

[Mr QL]

Come on now, keep this lead Shaun.

[natronek8780]

Double switch here with Lopez would be smart.... but not sure there's even anyone up in the pen!

[cantball]

Not a pitcher who should make anyone look overmatched like that

Based on what? His K/9 of 7.45?

Or the fact he's pitched like crap tonight

[endaround]

How many bright red signs do you need to make a pitching change?

[Glennron]

Is there anyway to look up how often different teams making pitching changes in the middle of an inning? It seems like RRR never does, but I don't know if it's one of those things that's skewed cause you watch the same team ~150 times a year.

[natronek8780]

How many bright red signs do you need to make a pitching change?

And an easy call double switch. Put Lopez in at 2B in the 9 hole and Saito to 8th. Saito finishes 6th and gets the 7th.

[MillerParkSouth]

Josh Wilson isn't good, but I don't think him getting owned by Jaime Garcia is the reason. Jaime Garcia is a good pitcher.
