2011-10-14 Brewers (Greinke) at Cardinals (Garcia) [Brewers lose, 7-1; trail NLCS, 3-2]

[adamb100]

The bats refuse to wake up.

[mastershake76]

of course.

[Mr QL]

No chance.

[razzzorsharp]

I swear the outside corner is alwas open on lefties vs. lefties. Not just Prince but all lefty/lefty matchups.

 

Ugly ab there.

[Oldcity]

He threw one in the strike zone.

[Fear The Chorizo]

That guy just owns Prince, and when 3-4 in the Brewers lineup gets you 1 grounder with 2 guys on nobody out, Milwaukee's not going to win

[Raw Biz]

Just a terrible approach. He should know they aren't going to give him anything to hit so he should go up there with his bat on his shoulder until he gets 2 strikes, which probably wouldn't happen because he would just keep getting sliders off the plate.

[Beast Light]

I'm really wishing Atlanta would have made the postseason.

[jason21nl]

Prince has to be a smarter hitter. They are going to try to make you get yourself out, and you have to think left field.

[wOOgiE22]

Prince keep the bat on your shoulder. You should know what he is going to pitch you by now

[razzzorsharp]

Tough day for Braun and Fielder with men on today. Let's hope that turns around. Also, Rickie, lets put one in the seats...

 

Have the Brewers hit a HR in STL this series?

[brewmann04]

the cards have not lost a getaway game since Aug 3 just another info bit

Kotsay hit one the other night.

[Oldcity]

It's amazing how different of a hitter Braun is on the road.

Braun at home

 

.307/.373/.580/.952

 

Braun on the road

 

.317/.368/.547/.916

So are you agreeing or disagreeing with me? Can't tell. Almost 40 OPS points is pretty huge.

 

And it's almost 90 this year.

Kotsay has

[Oldcity]

How can you not pinch hit here? God

[mastershake76]

Hey rickie, shut up all your bashers right here. Bashers like me.

 

edit: or do that.

[adamb100]

Another rally killed.

[razzzorsharp]

Forgot about the Kotsay smash.

 

Dang, that was our shot. I just can't believe hoe good this Cards pen has been. Good isn't even the word for it, it's so much more than that.

 

Hopefully they make Motte work in the 9th and Braun gets a chance for redemption.

[ReverendBrewmeister]

Hard hit ball ripped to 3B by Weeks for naught. Defense has been horrible, and apparently it's not their night on offense either.

[Oldcity]

Can't really get upset. They're the better team in ALL phases. How can you expect to win?

Except for starting pitching and bullpen.

[mastershake76]

I hope the packers put up 100 points on the Rams this weekend. That might take out some of the sting.

And it's almost 90 this year.

And the year before that he was 125 points higher on the road.

 

So no I don't think he is that much different.

[Fear The Chorizo]

9 hits during the game tonight should mean more than 1 run, but:

 

only 1 extra base hit (double)

 

hitters 3-6 tonight, 1-15

1 walk all night

 

defense has been awful, but the offense hasn't been much better

[Gobias Industries]

So I think that's another 3 Rickie has left on tonight. Does he have to go 0-5 with 5k for Roenicke to sit his ass on the bench.
