2011-10-16 Cardinals (Jackson) at Brewers (Marcum) [Brewers lose, 12-6; lose NLCS 4 games to 2]

Maybe the problem isn't the pitching or RR. Maybe the Cardinals are just hitting everything and everyone.

furcal pulls an outside pitch with one hand out of the park. narveson left that up....but good lord. just can't catch a break. everything is hit well.

This.

[jason21nl]

and why the hell save your best pitcher for a game 7? Don't you have to get to a game 7 first?

[TheCrew07]

Glad I turned on the game in time to see that Furcal HR, at least STL only scored 1 run when I was watching.... *sigh*

[moofnelson]

The Brewers picked an inopertune time to forget how to play baseball.

[Mr QL]

Maybe BA can remind us again that nobody expected the Cardinals to make the playoffs

Either way they have to win two games, so it shouldn't matter. They were definitely better off letting Gallardo get his regular rest. However, I wish they would have gone with a Narv/Bullpen start tonight. Oh well.

One thing that I hopes happened is that Marcum gave Kranitz an honest assessment of how he was feeling and how he thought his control was while warming up. The Brewers could use that information to plan accordingly.

 

I do understand warming in the pen is vastly different than actually pitching but I think a pitcher knows if his stuff is working prior to taking the mound even if the results don't always agree.

I still hoped this happened.

Depression setting in. Brewers don't belong on the same field as the Cards at this point. Need miraculous offense tonight.

[owbc]

Hairston was a much better pickup than Furcal.

[davego]

If this holds up, it will be a sad ending to a very fun season.

[fondybrewfan]

Can Melvin even bring back Marcum next year at this point? I mean he is that guy now. Try trading him now though and we won't get crap. Probably needs TJ again

[owbc]

Haha we got the run back again. Now lets get some guys on first.

[brettac1]

Jackson is up in the zone.

[Schlitz001]

4 more solo HRs and we're right back in this. (assuming the pitching holds up......)

[ReverendBrewmeister]

Maybe we can get some HRs with runners on........

[chickinbrickin]

Now lets not give the run back right away!

 

Weeks and Hart are keeping us in it..... weird.

[bjkrautk]

The new avatar delivers!

[Funketown]

I sense a pattern here. Just keep knocking them out of the ballpark. This game is not over yet.

[Team Canada]

Don't go away yet folks!

[razzzorsharp]

Nice job Weeks. We need guys on for these though.

[adamb100]

Weeks baby!

 

Got that run back.

[pebadger]

Sometime in the 6th inning . . . .

 

"I don't think 12 runs is going to win this game."

[a3uge]

That home run just felt like game over. Really depressing.
