2011-10-10 Cardinals (Jackson) at Brewers (Marcum) - [Brewers lose, 12-3; NLCS tied 1-1]

[Mr QL]

Rickie is safe if he cut those dreadlocks off.

[dlk9s]

ugh. good night.

Night!

[ELCABALLO45]

Unreal, easily safe. Terrible call.

[owbc]

No problem, we'll just go to the instant replay...oh, wait.

[MillerBombers]

Ugh that seemed like our shot.

 

Like I said earlier though, we lose this and it is 1-1, we win and they will be deflated. Lets win.

[ttsather]

Haha, wowwww.

This doesn't appear to be our night. Still game left to turn things around.

[Gobias Industries]

Please get weeks outta the 5 hole. Terrible approach.

[pebadger]

Only explanation for that is the ump made the call based on sound and got confused by the ground-foot-ball combination. That or he's simply blind.

[jason21nl]

Why wasn't someone out there arguing? It might not change the call now, but it possibly get us one later

[razzzorsharp]

Got hosed by that GRD from Braun.

[dlk9s]

LaRussa looks like a genius there. Over-managing or correct managing?

It was typical managing. Brought in the LOOGY in a key situation, who didn't do his job. Then brought in one of his clone righties and he threw a pitch.

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

Bad call yes, but Rickie has to work the count for a pitch inside. He hasn't been able to hit outer half since the injury. He's not healthy so he has to be smart. His recent homers were both inside fastballs he could pull.

[danzig6767]

Terrible call but Weeks still has to have a better approach there.

Why the hell did he swing at a first pitch low slider off the plate?

 

Even it had been a fastball, likely not much he could have done with it.

[Schlitz001]

No problem, we'll just go to the instant replay...oh, wait.

Why not baseball, why?

[pebadger]

So the ball bouncing out of the park likely cost 2 runs there.

[razzzorsharp]

I hate hacking on the first pitch, with a new pitch, and the bases loaded.

[jason21nl]

That is simply a call that a MLB umpire simply can't and shouldn't ever miss. Softball umpires don't miss that call

[ELCABALLO45]

I had no problem Weeks swinging first pitch.

[sargennm]

I hate hacking on the first pitch, with a new pitch, and the bases loaded.

 

 

You must hate t Brewers because this is how they play baseball.

[MillerBombers]

Wow what an awful call.

[MillerBombers]

Honestly do you think RR runs Marcum back out there?

[B2k1121]

We can only hope these bad breaks don't continue in St Louis or they won't be coming back home.

[danzig6767]

No problem, we'll just go to the instant replay...oh, wait.

Why not baseball, why?

It will have to happen in a Game 7 in a tight game late before baseball realizes it's 2011.

[ttsather]

The call on Lucroy's fielder's choice was closer than that one. Really astounding.

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

I hate hacking on the first pitch, with a new pitch, and the bases loaded.

 

Against a rookie for sure. If your Braun or Fielder...go up hacking, but not when your struggling.
