Must win game I'd think. Not that they all aren't but dropping 2 of 3 at home against the team we have to catch would definitely (not like there hasn't been enough already) be an indicator to start moving our pieces for our future.

[Yeti73]

A loss today and I'm moving from the "HOLD" camp to the "SELL" camp.

[GormanHarvey]

Here's a thought Nyjer...instead of slowing down to watch if your bunt stays fair or rolls foul, just RUN! Or don't bunt in the first place.

[pacopete4]

These are the situations that hold ya back. Put a ball in play. My god.

[jason21nl]

bunting in the first inning...awesome!

[GormanHarvey]

Sheets with 4 scoreless so far. Just touched 93 on his fastball

[pacopete4]

Is Sheets on a one year? Maybe he's our vet pick up in the off season. Sure would be fun to have him again, healthy.

[pacopete4]

That's baby Yovanni!

[sdcheezhd]

Sheets pops up a bunt with 1st and 2d 0 out in 0-0 game. That's the part I don't miss at all. Now a double only plates 1 ansd you have to worry about a productive out to get the guy in from 3d instead of focusing on the hit to get the guy in from 2d.

Yeah Santana is melting down so it doesn't matter. But like I said I remember a lot of times it cost him.

[pacopete4]

Bianchi. Gross.

[stoutdude04]

You could tell by watching the tv that he went! Wow.

[AZBrewCrew]

Earning runs the easy way! I'll take it.

[milwaukeesportsfan]

Anybody know what Rickie's wearing on his left hand?

[TooLiveBrew]

Anybody know what Rickie's wearing on his left hand?

It's some kind of protective brace, not really sure. He's been wearing it for a long time now... iirc he was wearing it last season too.

[Hitman_Hart]

Sliding pad / brace

[jjgott]

That'll do Gallardo, that'll do.

[AZBrewCrew]

We really could have used 2-3 insurance runs there with Yo turning it over to the bullpen.

[SenatorShriv]

K-Rod looked good last inning - hopefully Axford doesn't do anything to make me nervous.

[AZBrewCrew]

I wonder when teams will stop pitching to McCutchen. Hes definitely a frontrunner for MVP.

[SenatorShriv]

So we're a team bound for the playoffs now, right?

[sdcheezhd]

Thanks for the low stress finish this time guys. Good win.
