2012-09-20 Brewers (Fiers) at Pirates (Rodriguez), 3:05 PM CDT [Hart returns to lineup; Brewers win, 9-7]

[topper09er]

Pittsburgh was foolishly using the Houston technique there

[topper09er]

That was very generous of the fan behind Hart by the 3B dugout to offer to lend his glasses to the first base umpire, without them how will he see the end of the trainwreck that is the Pittsburgh second half

The crippling 100 pitch limit. No matter how you are doing you stay in until you reach it and come out once you pass it. RRR and everyone else weighs that much more than anything else

Once you learn to accept the mystical powers of the number 100 in our base-10 world, you will feel much more contented and at ease with life.

[pebadger]

How many pitches before Gomez steals?

[topper09er]

My God, Gomez makes contact on the bunt while not running towards first and look what happens?

This is so true in so many ways. If we had a base 11 system pitchers would regularly go 121 pitches per game, or however we would write that number. If baseball had 4 strikes and youre out would felons be allowed 1 more crime before a life sentence?

Loe

[SenatorShriv]

Dang it. I was going to bring up Barmes earlier in the game. I'm really glad that we didn't aquire him during the off season, but he is sure looking good today.

 

Speaking of looking good. Loe is not looking good.

[TURBO]

I really think that Fiers is done for the year.

 

He looks horrible, and has for a few starts now.. A guy with no fastball to begin with pitching tired is a recipe for disaster.

 

Time to shut him down.

[pebadger]

I don't know if Hart can beat Marte to first with this shift. I'm not really kidding too much, either.

[markedman5]

Brewers haven't won 5 in a row all year...thought today might have been the day....guess not

[markedman5]

Hart isn't playing first now

[TURBO]

How long will Loe be allowed to suck today?

 

Do we have no other options in the BP?

 

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

[The stache]

Roenicke wake the F up, get Loe out of there. Jesus.

[pebadger]

Hart isn't playing first now

 

I don't think Ishikawa would beat him either.

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

It's not often I miss Jason Kendall...but when I do, it's against the Pirates.

[reillymcshane]

segura with two walks and a hit today. looking better every day.

[topper09er]

That was not a good pitch to swing at 2-0 there by Morgan, he is trying to make something happen since he doesnt get many chances anymore. Got to be more patient there

[chickinbrickin]

Morgan with a great AB there.....

[pebadger]

8 in the 8th.

[topper09er]

Aoki has not missed any mistakes pitches recently

[pebadger]

I don't know that playing a song from an album entitled 'Pyromania' is the direction I'd take with respect to pitching change music.

[topper09er]

RICKIE! Braun needs to play small ball now, if they walk him Ramirez please just shorten up and go for a SF

[dlk9s]

I feel a bomb coming from Braun. I was about to call a 2B from Rickie, guess I was wrong there.

[The stache]

Weeks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Tie game!!
