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

[razzzorsharp]

Jackson is not throwing strikes, be patient. Great slide! Fudge.

[adamb100]

Hariston is staying in? Tough guy.

[Beast Light]

I know Hairston made a critical error in the last game but man, what a pickup this guy has been.

[logan82]

Man I hope Hairston isn't hurt. Of course if he is it sets the stage for a 3 HR game for Green.

[Mr QL]

Jerry is a warrior

[ninja33]

the one time it's actually smart to slide into first (although head first is really never smart) and he gets hurt. of course he does.

[Funketown]

there isn't two games if you lose your first one. You worry about game 7 when you're playing game 7

We've hashed this out a few times. Either way you have to win two games. It shouldn't matter in this case.

 

Please get up JHJ. We need you here.

[owbc]

Staying in the game? Probably done after the half-inning though.

[ninja33]

Why do players continue to insist on the stupid headfirst slide into first base??

 

Can't we just give some presentation to every team that it's NOT faster?

it's not faster, but on a throw off the bag it is a good play to avoid the tag. much smarter to do it feet first....not that anyone ever does.

[Team Canada]

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

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.

there isn't two games if you lose your first one. You worry about game 7 when you're playing game 7

No, you give yourself the best possible odds to win 2 games. It makes no difference whether you lose game 6 or 7. Somehow getting to game 7 only to face the similar dilemma isn't better.

[Oldcity]

Yeah, no way RR would put Green in. You know it'd be McGehee.

[owbc]

Yuni's going to hack, and there's no stopping him.

[Mr QL]

Come on Yuni, stop swinging at junk

 

Should be 3-0 count

[Oldcity]

Look at that pitch chart for Betancourt. It's 1-2.

[Funketown]

Man I hope Hairston isn't hurt. Of course if he is it sets the stage for a 3 HR game for Green McGehee.

Fixed.

 

I seriously hope McGehee doesn't trot out of the dugout for the second inning. I know this can't be an easy time for Green to make his debut, but the kid can hit and he can field, two things McGehee can't do.

[razzzorsharp]

Cmon Yuni, he hasn't come close to throwing a strike.

[stoutdude04]

If Jerry doesnt slide he might get tagged out. That is about the only time sliding is ok....btw...Yuni swining at balls 2 and 3...shame.

[burnzy24]

Well hopefully Yuni got his infield pop up out of his system today.

[BREWCREW5]

I feel really bad for Marcum. He's had an awful postseason and he's going to have to live with that cloud over his head from now on. It's going to be hard for him to recover from this.

I would roll around in all my money and remember that I am a professional ballplayer. I would be over it by about Tuesday.

[Beast Light]

Another unproductive out for Yuni.

[Mr QL]

Need to get Jerry in, can't let any one on base go to waste

[Team Canada]

If Jerry doesnt slide he might get tagged out. That is about the only time sliding is ok....btw...Yuni swining at balls 2 and 3...shame.

Thanks, I just have radio on and it wasn't clear that's why he slid (or I missed it).

[razzzorsharp]

If LuCroy gets on, do not bunt, PH for him.

[Teatoe993]

Do you pinch hit here if Lucroy gets on?

[owbc]

I would roll around in all my money and remember that I am a professional ballplayer. I would be over it by about Tuesday.

Well if he was A-Rod then probably yes. But not all players are like that.
