2011-08-12 Pirates (Maholm) at Brewers (Greinke) - [Brewers win, 7-2; K-Rod first MLB hit]

[stalton]

3 hard hit at bats for the Pirates in the first with nothing to show for it and 4 not-hard hit at bats by the Brewers in the 2nd nets at least a run so far

[topper09er]

ZG 3 IP, 3 K, 29 pitches

[topper09er]

Why does no one understand that if you bunt everytime in this scenario they wont play the shift against you anymore

[natronek8780]

What a great piece of hitting there by Casey! Nice 2 out rally here boys.

[GB12]

Just a routine Casey McGehee triple.

[Mr QL]

Casey hitting a triple lol

[stalton]

All 3 runs with 2 outs....I love it

[valpocrewsader]

So huge when your number 5 hitter can cash in on braun and fielder getting base hits. Welcome back casey.

[natronek8780]

5 straight Ks for Zack. Wow, does he look sharp hitting both corners with his fastball right now.

[Thhhza]

I am loving Greinke tonight!

[topper09er]

4 IP, 6 K, 41 pitches

[markedman5]

impressive inning by Greinke.......

[markedman5]

JJ Hardy has 2 more dingers tonight.........man what a year he is having.

[Funketown]

Brewers rotation for next season:

 

Greinke, Gallardo, Marcum, Wolf, Narveson

 

Maybe I'm greedy, but I want back to back playoff appearances.

5 straight Ks for Zack. Wow, does he look sharp hitting both corners with his fastball right now.

Halfway to Tom Seaver's record of 10, which were the final 10 outs in his career high 19 K game

[fondybrewfan]

Grienke is trying real hard to make sure that bullpen is fresh for tomorrow

[fondybrewfan]

Brewers rotation for next season:

 

Greinke, Gallardo, Marcum, Wolf, Narveson

 

Maybe I'm greedy, but I want back to back playoff appearances.

You could even trade Narveson for a useful SS and plug in Peralta there too.

I remember how exhilarating watching Sheets' 18 K game was, I can't imagine ending a start like that with 10 in a row.

[topper09er]

JJ Hardy has 2 more dingers tonight.........man what a year he is having.

His slugging % is up to .535, 2nd in all the majors at SS behind Tulo at .539

[Glennron]

Just realized 8 of Sheets last 9 outs were strikeouts, nevermind.

[brewmann04]

too bad i dropped Hardy last week from my FB team

[jwill535]

FWIW Green hit #21 tonight.

[valpocrewsader]

Stupid question, but whither Derek Lee?

[markedman5]

Lee=hurt

[stalton]

another case where despite what it should be, its a hit because the ball was never touched
