This has to be one of the most baffling moves I've seen this season. Why is Estrada out when he was cruising?
Because it's a 1-0 game and we need this run, and Estrada was probably going to go only one more inning anyhow.
Estrada can't bunt?

Estrada hasn't thrown more than a couple innings in like 3 months. There's nothing wrong with taking him out there.
Yes, but Estrada could have been asked to bunt. Also, if the Brewers would score something like 3-4 runs in the inning, you could send Estrada back out there and try to steal another inning of work. The bullpen could still be ready in case of no runs scored or if Estrada got into trouble.

 

Edit: Of course, Estrada could have told Roenicke that he was completely done, but we wouldn't have that info.

Wow, people need to calm down and learn the facts. Don't freak out. Estrada isn't stretched out, and his pitch count for this game was supposed to be around 60. Just be happy that we got 5 shutout innings from him and don't blame Roenicke. Geez. I'd go Hawkins, Saito, K-Rod, Ax and be done with it.

I guessed a pitch count of 60 for Estrada, but surprised they pulled him with a 1 hitter thru 5
I tried to log in on my iPad. Turns out it was an etch-a-sketch and I don't own an iPad. Also, I'm out of vodka.

Not as well as Greinke, no. So if he's coming out of the game anyhow, have your best pitcher at bunting...bunt. No problem at all with this move, very smart baseball actually.

Agreed, very good move. Make sure you get the bunt down there.
