Huge! Great pitch, Yo.

[jason21nl]

Crowd is silent...they need to pick it up too

[jason21nl]

someone needs to tell this umpire what is a strike

[adamb100]

For a second I thought that was gone.

[Thhhza]

phew

[Glennron]

Maybe I'm just used to BA getting excited over routine flyballs, but by the way the PBP guy just called Hill's flyout you would've thought it went 200 feet.

[Bernman23]

I knew that was going to be a dangerous pitch once in ran to 3-2 with Upton on deck. He had protection, guys.

[Funketown]

I'm like a Cubs fan during the playoffs. Every moderately well hit ball by the D-Backs looks like a 450 foot shot to me right now.

 

Brewers, you have five innings to score more runs than they can in four innings.

[Thhhza]

This is the last inning for Yo for sure.

the pitcher poked a groundball through the hole. stop overreacting.

Not overreacting. Yo's pitch count is up there and he's spot in the order is coming up.

[WinkelsasVsSoriano]

I'm guessing they put Yo out there for one more inning. Live and die with your ace. Hopefully he can get through six.

[Bernman23]

Crappy AB's by Prince and JHJ, but we were lucky they had to go back on a baseball, and it was good baserunning by Morgan to steal that run.

How was JHJ's crappy?

Swung at a 2-0 pitch that almost hit him and then blooped a ball which, if the fielder didn't have his momentum going backward, wouldn't have come close to driving in the run. He was lucky to be bailed out.

[jjkoestler]

Time for a Yovani bomb

[jason21nl]

I expected JHJ to hit a 3-1 pitch better but he accomplished more than Prince

[ninja33]

This is the last inning for Yo for sure.

Not overreacting. Yo's pitch count is up there and he's spot in the order is coming up.

well, he's a solid hitter and only at 91 pitches. so either luc gets on and Yo bunts him over, or luc gets out and you let Yo swing away. Either way he's still pitching.

[jjkoestler]

Steal a base C-Hart

[ninja33]

ha. i'm just thinking about how good nyjer looks taking those first two pitches, then he goes and falls over from swinging so hard.

[adamb100]

Kennedy is getting tired. He's throwing alot more balls.

[jason21nl]

I just don't get how we keep making such terrible contact with a 3-1 92mph fastball

[WinkelsasVsSoriano]

Bahh. Popups. Just haven't been able to square up.

[Glennron]

Is that Nyjer Morgan or Bo Jackson?

[Bernman23]

Morgan should have been taking all the way until there were two strikes with two outs, a runner on 1st, and Braun up next. They're playing no doubles D and you figure Nyjer to not hit a homer.

[jjkoestler]

I cannot figure out how Kennedy is 21-4.

[Thhhza]

Of course he is now, but I made the call before the GIDP :p

[WisconsinSportsRule]

Huge inning for Yo. Heart of the order and he's getting up there in pitches. I'd have the bullpen stretching just in case.
