2011-10-05 Brewers (Wolf) at Diamondbacks (Saunders) - [Brewers lose, 10-6; NLDS Tied 2-2]

[burnzy24]

A scoreless inning!! Baby steps my friends, baby steps!

[theavrock]

AND THE TIDES HAVE CHANGED!!!! Get a run and pull this choker. 53 pitches through 2 innings about says it all.

[bucks2281]

You HAVE to pull him. Honestly, the results don't indicate how poorly he's been pitching.

[Fear The Chorizo]

good lord this is going to be a long game

[theavrock]

The IGT is the saddest place on earth. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/frown.gif

not as sad as the seat of any brewer fans that has traveled to AZ for this game.

[mastershake76]

We're only giving up a grand slam every 5 innings or so. We should be good until the 6th.

[FidoMcCokefiend]

It's basically required that the Brewers put up runs with top of the order coming up here.

[a3uge]

Wolf isn't the only one to blame as the defense hasn't really been helping him any. If the pitcher didn't botch that ground ball, he would have been out of the inning already.

This really cheered me up.

Edit: Wolf puts up the first scoreless inning of the game!

[moofnelson]

Let's put up a 7-spot here.

How do you defend a ball that's 37 rows up into the stands?

[ReverendBrewmeister]

Top of the order. 2 runs or more, please.

[ninja33]

hey, no runs allowed that inning. you'd think the crew was down by 17 runs reading through this thread.

 

I'm not happy about things either, but this game was always going to be a slugfest. The DBacks are an awful matchup for Wolf...it would have been nice if they didn't get put in a hole so early, but still. Keep chipping away at Saunders, he sucks.....let Wolf battle through 4 or 5 and hopefully the game will be 5-5 then. Let's do it top of the order.

Stakes are high. The pressure is getting to most of us. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/laugh.gif

 

Top of the order means runs. Let's go.

[fondybrewfan]

Score a run or two here; then put in Estrada for 2-3 innings. Saunders isn't fooling anybody either

[Fear The Chorizo]

a 7 spot would be nice this 1/2 inning...hopefully Gibson leaves Saunders in long enough to let the Brewers back in the game

This. I am disappointed like many but if you didnt know the score you would think we were down 10 on the verge of being swept not down 3 with a one game lead.

 

Another baserunner for the Crew. Saunders has been pretty bad so far so we have a pretty good shot

[pebadger]

Barry Alvarez would not be a fan of this IGT. Too much flinching.

[MJLiverock]

I am usually pretty low key when it comes to in game or quibbling with RR's moves but he has to pull Wolf. Can't throw strikes and doesn't have the stuff to make mistakes.

[MillerBombers]

At what point do you start thinking about Narveson if we claw back into this.

[brewerjamie15]

Jerry Hairston. Let's go holmes. Baby needs some new shoes.

[mastershake76]

We're going to need to take some chances on the basepaths here I think. Not the greatest guy to run on but I think we've got to try.

[Fear The Chorizo]

The shocking thing about this is two teams with well over 90 regular season wins have Wolf and Saunders as playoff starters.

[umphrey]

Saunders has a career postseason ERA of 5.40, so if we can hold them scoreless, we will win by .4 runs

/optimistic logic

[adamb100]

That'll work.

[Schlitz001]

Jerry, Jerry!
