Of course Rickie gets a double when Braun and Fielder are retired in order.

Why is that huge section of the RF bleachers empty?

I was wondering the same thing? Did something happen over there? It looked really strange.

Marching band getting ready to take the field?

It's reserved for media, but I don't see any media there.

[jjfanec]

3 hits on Greinke = 2 weak grounders and bloop.

[DuWayne Steurer]

I still hate the shift.........

[Schlitz001]

Of course Rickie gets a double when Braun and Fielder are retired in order.

He probably gets more strike pitches with nobody on and Yuni behind him.

 

Oh, shift.

Seems like one of the only times he was up with no one on.

The extra press box is in that section. Only the first 5 rows are open. Not sure why they didn't sell them.

[Oldcity]

Greinke looking really sharp.

[ninja33]

the shift only tends to get noticed when it doesn't work. i'm sure the data is somewhere, but I feel like throughout the course of the season it helped more than it hurt.

The RF bleachers is reserved for media for the NLCS.

[Menotti80]

Shift may cost us more runs... so frustrating

[young guns]

They may have been the first back-to-back 1,2,3 inning for the Brewers this postseason. Is that accurate?

Probably not. Yo went into a huge stretch of domination in game one. Only allowing 1 base runner in something like 17 or 18 batters.

Looked it up, it was 14 out of 15 retired in a row, so unless it went, leadoff hit folowed by 3 outs then 123 then an inning with a hit, then 123 and then first 2 outs followed by a hit, then Yo did it.

[owbc]

Yikes, wind blowing out I guess.

[ReverendBrewmeister]

HRs from Greinke. Ugh.

[Schlitz001]

Greinke looking really sharp.

Ahhhhhh.

[strawbossisevil]

Goodness, there is some Cards fan being over the top obnoxious on every pitch....and booo. Come on Greinke.

[B2k1121]

That looked like a pop up..

[a3uge]

You have got to be kidding me

[Oldcity]

So glad the roof's open.

[DuWayne Steurer]

So a bleeder basehit through the shift, a 4 pitch walk 2 a guy who never walks........and then he throws a meatball.

 

Greinke not really putting up good results under the glare of post season lights.

[endaround]

I have no clue how that became a home run

[logan82]

That sucks. Molina would have been a good buy to go after for a DP.

[strawbossisevil]

Walks turn into runs. Greinke two walks, both have scored. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/frown.gif

[MillerBombers]

Our pitching has been sad.
