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

[markedman5]

Wow...so it is possible to have a 1,2,3 inning........imagine that

[a3uge]

I think that was the first 1-2-3 inning of the night of both teams.

[theavrock]

oh thats what a 1-2-3 inning looks like.

[mastershake76]

Anyone else think Hairston should be in the 5 spot on Friday?

I'd be OK with this. Usually you'd want someone with a little more pop, but there's really no one else. Rickie just isn't getting it done, and JHJ has looked pretty darn good. Bump Rickie to six or seven.

Unfortunately there are only so many guys we can hide in the 7 hole

[jason21nl]

its a good thing that Wolf was left in to give up more run when Estrada could have come in and settled it down...The game very well could be a 2 run game

[Beast Light]

Anyone else think Hairston should be in the 5 spot on Friday?

I would agree with this.

[Gobias Industries]

Anyone else think Hairston should be in the 5 spot on Friday?

Absolutely. Said it last night. Outside of Parra, Weeks has been the worst player in the series so far. Parra hasn't done nearly as much damage either because he's hitting 8th. Weeks has killed us because he hits 5th. And honestly, I don't understand what Roenicke was expecting. Weeks has looked like crap since he came back. Outside of that long homerun, he never hits the ball hard. Ever.

 

I would put Green or McGehee at 3rd and start Hairston at 2nd if there's a game 5. There's no way they can be any worse.

[theavrock]

Not sure why people are bagging on Weeks. Over his last 7 days he has a 308/400/538 line and over the last 28 days its 243/391/351

 

He hasn't look good this series, but he has been far from McGehee since coming back.

[WinkelsasVsSoriano]

Those last two runs Wolf gave up are just killing me. Maybe Marco would have given them up too, but at least give him a chance. Wolf had nothing.

[Beast Light]

Yuni, this is not the time for a Beast Mode

[SeriesFinale]

Heh--that was a half-hearted Beast Mode

[mastershake76]

we've had the leadoff guy on every inning I think, or close to it. We ought to have more to show for it than this. Geargh.

[FVBrewerFan]

Hart should be 5th, that's the problem. Any combo of Hairston/Plush/Gomez in the 1st 2 spots, then Braun, Fielder, Hart, Weeks. That's the way to go. If only RR could find a way to get Hart comfortable hitting in the spot that's best for the team. It's only the playoffs, that's probably asking too much,

[jason21nl]

he made it close, but I hate the bunt attempt

[bucks2281]

Why are you bunting!?!?! Good Lord man. You need baserunners.

[WinkelsasVsSoriano]

Can we have a "beast mode" rule? No doing it when you're down and can't hit with RISP.

[SeriesFinale]

I hated the bunt (don't give away outs down by 4 with 12 left) but actually liked the Beast Mode--show some spine here

[pebadger]

If he runs it out he's likely safe.

[mastershake76]

I certainly hope that was gomez's call and not RR's. Still, darn close. If only this were horseshoes or hand grenades.

[dlk9s]

I don't mind the bunt attempt at all with Gomez. Not at all.

[theavrock]

Why the heck is Gomez putting his hand down on the back of the bag?

[jason21nl]

Wish there was some left handed power on the bench

[Mr QL]

do something now Casey or forever sit

[B2k1121]

Double play incoming

[SeriesFinale]

No DP here plz, Casey
