2011-08-13 Pirates (Correia) at Brewers (Estrada) [Brewers win, 1-0]

[ReverendBrewmeister]

The Ax-Man! Stressful win, but you need a lot of those in a magical season.

[The Truth]

Just win baby

[geddymd73]

Thank god for Yuni Betancourt. Otherwise this game would never end.

[DocLuna7]

The W and the series win.

[Funketown]

Game over. Go Rockies.

 

Great effort from the pitching staff.

 

Somebody should make a list of all of the dumb things Williams said during the game.

Crazy 9th. Thanks for the save Axford and thanks BIG TIME for the save Estrada. Such a huge spot start for that guy.

[FVBrewerFan]

4 outs after a runner at 3B with nobody out, now THAT'S a save!

[The Truth]

That W counts just as much as a 7-0 game would

 

And hopefully that's the last time I hear Mitch Williams announce a Brewers game in this lifetime

Thank god for Yuni Betancourt. Otherwise this game would never end.

Or how about that Axford guy right?

 

[SeriesFinale]

Marco Estrada and YuniB combine for the win...?...!

[pmallon]

1-0 Win with Estrada going 5 innings, I'll take it!!

To foreshadow the upcoming Packers game, that was an ath-a-letic play by Lucroy.

That's not nice. Stop wishing carpal tunnel on people

I believe Mr. Geddy had this to say about Mr. Axford "Nice job Axblow, chokejob city"

[a3uge]

Outs on balls for Pirates: 28%

Outs on balls for Brewers: 34%

Total: 30%

Glad this game was a statistical anomaly

Thats why I mentioned it. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

 

[geddymd73]

This is one of those Wins Above Replacement that Betancourt should score on.

[fondybrewfan]

It seems everything the Brewers touch turns to gold right now. Great performance by Estrada and the bullpen. I guess going with Estrada instead of De La Cruz paid off!!!

[trwi7]

packers pre game starts in 1 minute. i need this game to end (in a win) quickly please.

 

Packers pregame was on the radio for like 4 hours before the game started cutting out the Brewers game, which is ridiculous.

This is the same guy that berated the Brewers for releasing Suppan and that Duncan would work his magic on him again, I believe.

anybody got a link to the cardinals forum? I'm sure they are thrilled about our 1-0 win

Not much talk on GatewayRedBirds.com. One good one:

Leadoff triple for the Pirates in the top of the 9th and they strand him. Brewers cheat their way to a 1-0 win.

Don't know if that was tongue in cheek or not.

Wow, great stat. And I'll bet 80- 90% of that difference is Greinke/Marcum vs the carousel of starting pitchers they had in their place last year.
