2012-06-07 Cubs (Garza) at Brewers (Wolf), 1:10 PM CDT [Brewers win, 4-3, 10 innings, on Aoki walkoff HR]

[sdcheezhd]

Nothing gets Uecker excited like beating the Cubs.

[PrinceEatMeat]

Wow, huge DP there. Bails out Ransom a little bit.

[The stache]

What the heck is wrong with Ryan Braun? Down to .303. He's slumping badly.

 

If he's not healthy, Roenicke needs to sit his you know what for a while to get better.

[reillymcshane]

Rock claims he was bunting for a basehit...it did not appear that way to me however.

 

That would be stupid to do. Yes it loads the bases with one out, but you still have Wolf up. Maysonet should have been trying to bring in a run. oh well.

[Outlander]

To be fair it would have loaded the bases with no outs. Not a big fan of bunting but Roenicke has some rather poor options in the bottom of the order. He gave Aoki a chance to drive in a couple of runs and he is probably their best hitter right now as sad as that is.

[TURBO]

K-Rod.............SUCKS!

 

If he thinks he is going to close for anyone in the future, he needs to re-evaluate himself.

[PrinceEatMeat]

And K-Rod blows it. Ugh. Hope he at least keeps it at a 1-run game, because the Cubs bullpen is horrible.

I thought there was already one out. My bad.

[pretendastronaut]

If we drop back-to-back series at home to the Pirates and Cubs, I think that will be the full depth of my baseball despair.

I second this.

[PrinceEatMeat]

Aoki! Beating out another one!

[DHonks]

I don't feel like looking back, but how many leads has our bullpen blown this year? I'd say I miss Hawkins and Saito, except they are both on the DL and have combined for 8 IP

[dlk9s]

Ooh, Gomez is pinch hitting. This should be good.

[PrinceEatMeat]

Definitely gotta bunt here. Give Braun a shot to tie it up.

[dlk9s]

Fixed.

[DHonks]

Nice to see Aoki's OBP over .350 now. He's at the point now where I'm comfortable with Hart staying at 1b with Aoki playing in RF. I wouldn't have him as a full-time starter in RF, but he should get the bulk of the playing time

[rluzinski]

It's Gomez against a RH hitter, late in the game and a run down at home. Even I would advocate the bunt here.

[DHonks]

I did not anticipate Aoki having a better OPS than Hart.

[PrinceEatMeat]

Definitely gotta bunt here. Give Braun a shot to take the lead.

 

Fixed.

 

Don't need to bunt to give him a shot to give us the lead. Gotta set-up the RBI single. I'd definitely prefer a 2-run bomb though.

[PrinceEatMeat]

Well, that didn't work out. Gomez would've struck out or popped out if he didn't bunt though, so still a good move. Hart can get it done.

[Menotti80]

Have a seat Ryan

[The stache]

What the heck is the matter with him? His batting average is dropping like a rock.

[rluzinski]

I'm very happy with Aoki's start but we are still only talking about 108 AB. I want to see him getting more starts but he hasn't proven anything yet.

[PrinceEatMeat]

Rammy on deck.

[The stache]

He's 7 for his last 35. Something's wrong.
