2014-05-27 Orioles (Chen) at Brewers (Garza), 7:10 PM CDT [Brewers win, 7-6, 10 innings, on Gallardo's walkoff 2B]

[brewcrewdue80]

Wait I'm confused. Did we just use two pinch hitters there? Subbing Falu for Schafer when both are lefties facing a LHP?

 

Drugs. RRR has to be on Drugs.

 

Falu is a switch hitter.

 

Ok, gamecast showed Falu as batting left handed.

Regardless of how hard he hit that we have to be the worst team in baseball with a runner on third and less than 2 outs. So frustrating..

Actually, compared to the rest of the NL, the Brewers have a significantly better BA, SLG, and OPS than average. A bit lower than the average when it comes to runs per AB (82% vs 77% if I'm remembering it right).

 

I mean in that situation: Less than 2 outs and and a runner on third.

The most disappointing part of the final out in the 8th was that I was all set to write, "He FALU around the bases!" if he hit a triple.

 

You can still write, "He FALU down the first base line trying to beat out that weak grounder."

 

Just an idea.

This team is getting really hard to watch. It seems as though we have a "worst loss of the season game a few times a week now. Now each one is worse then the last. Blow a 6-3 lead yesterday and now blow a 5-0 lead tonight....we are now getting decent offense..one of the weaknesses all year. Our previous strengths are now are weakness..bullpen starters..just sick

[BraunyBoy08]

Brauny walkoff

[The stache]

I'm seriously about to cry. This team is so bad at so many little things...fundamentals that I learned when I was playing little league.

 

They can hit the ball out of the park with the best teams in baseball. But get a couple men on base with no outs or one out, and they're clueless when it comes to moving runners up. This is a team that tries to hit the ball out of the park when a single would do a world of good.

Chicks dig the long ball.

 

Please score, please Brewers.

Instead you could've written he "balu" it or "Falu - pee-ew."

[chickinbrickin]

Wasn't Britton a Top 5 Prospect as a starter at one point a few years back?

[bthurley19]

If Showalter does one more thing "not by the book" Rock's head is going to explode.

[The stache]

Ron Roenicke is a checkers player in a chess league.

[brewcrewdue80]

Kind of funny... Up 5-0 and there was 2 pages... Blow a five run lead and the thread explodes to 9

 

Yeah I couldn't believe there was only myself commenting on Khris Davis' HR to make it 5-0.

Good news is this game wont end w/o Braun getting another AB.

Overbay with a single against a lefty. Perhaps a good omen?

[BraunyBoy08]

BUNT DAMMIT

[chickinbrickin]

Wow, Overbay completely surprising me there.

[brwrsfan]

Alright, well there's the runner. Now knock one over. Don't bunt here Ron. If you succeed, you're likely taking the bat out of Braun's hands.

[trwi7]

Herrera pinch running.

[BraunyBoy08]

Albeit the single how do you not bunt down the third base line.

[dlk9s]

Just an idea.

I got it!

 

"After hitting that weak grounder, he FALU back to Nashville!"

[brwrsfan]

Nice bunt...but would you pitch to Braun here? Or walk him to setup the DP? I wouldn't let Braun beat me here. No chance.

[yfinn6]

Herrera pinch running.

 

I laughed, too. He can't pull two idiotic moves two nights in a row, can he?

He only deserves the Greyhound.

[brwrsfan]

Braun hasn't hit a dinger at MP in over a year!?!??! Well he's certainly due!!! Come on Braun...if they actually give you anything to hit.

 

Or not. Ugh. I just have zero faith in us to actually get a hit here.
