LUC! Some good hitting down the line this game.

[FidoMcCokefiend]

Boy, that escalated quickly... I mean, that really got out of hand fast.

[ReverendBrewmeister]

So Ron's going to run Greinke back out there? Interesting.

[TracyThom]

YUNI BOMB!!!! fgfjgifjgfdgdfgifigdfig

 

 

As frustrating as Yuni's approach at the plate has been this game, that was a heck of an at-bat.

 

Added: Way to go Luc! Love your defense this postseason. Need to get your bat going too.

[randybreuerfan]

suck on rainy butteye!

[Oldcity]

Not an easy call, but I'd pull Greinke. They still need this run.

[strawbossisevil]

Gather around my children, let me tell you the legend of Braun, Prince and Yuni B.

[Glennron]

It depends, if McGehee was the first PH option off the bench again I'd rather let Greinke stay in. I assume it would've been Kotsay though.

[jjfanec]

Well hopefully Hart can get Luc in and Zack can work a scoreless frame so I wont second guess that decision

[DannoMac21]

Just read thru Gateway Redbirds forums...there's some bitter people over there. I shudder to think how many wives will be beaten in Missouri tonight.

[DuWayne Steurer]

I'm a bit surprised that Greinke is coming back out, and I hope this doesn't backfire. Loe was getting up and ready to go, so a walk or hit or whatever, and a switch needs to be made.

[ReverendBrewmeister]

6 runs in the frame. Now that is a crooked number!

[cnycerveceros]

Why are all of those seats in right field open?

press?

[Schlitz001]

Should've pinch hit Greinke, but I guess RR figures it's the bottom of the Cards order coming up.

[dlk9s]

And on that note, I'm headed to the Georgia Dome.

They want to bean Braun and are complaining that we are stealing signs. Funny stuff

[Oldcity]

Roenicke needs to not let the decision to allow Greinke to hit affect how quickly he pulls him if Greinke gets into trouble. No messing around if he struggles.

[endaround]

Really don't like not hitting for Greinke since that half inning lasted forever.

[Schlitz001]

And on that note, I'm headed to the Georgia Dome.

I want to see some beast modes in GA after TDs.

[crossface21]

Cripes, I fell like a chode. I fell asleep with 2 outs in the top of the inning. Woke up to find it 6-5 Brewers. I rewound to watch all of it and fastforwarded to see Yuni hit his out live. I will not sleep for the rest of the week, just in case.

[WisconsinSportsRule]

Greinke has to come out sharp here. Bottom of the order, but he sat for awhile. Come on Zack.

[ninja33]

i probably would have hit for greinke....im comfortable with 8 runs but definitely wouldn't mind more.

 

Even though they may have left a run out there, as long as Zack makes it through this inning unscathed the decision was fine.

[pebadger]

Pretty sure I saw Green getting loose behind RR as Greinke's spot came up. Would be interesting to see how it played out in a different quantum universe.

[burnzy24]

I think RR did the right thing by letting Greinke stay in. There was only one out so Hart still had a chance to hit him in and it would be nice to get one more inning out of him so it can go Saito, K-Rod, Ax.

Given what transpired, I'd humbly ask you fall asleep throughout the entire game.
