2014-06-22 Brewers (Lohse) at Rockies (Matzek), 3:10 PM CDT [Brewers win, 6-5, complete their first sweep at Coors since 2004]

[DuWayne Steurer]

Some interesting base running, but nice job by Lucroy getting hung up long enough to let Braun score.

[folly412]

Wow, they fell for the obvious trap to plate another run?

[pacopete4]

I do love the Rockies always handing out free runs!

[AZBrewCrew]

Block and Augie on the radio....uffda!

[DuWayne Steurer]

Block and Augie on the radio....uffda!

 

 

I have listened to a few innings over the weekend. It's painful. I don't know who's idea Augie on the radio was, but it was a bad idea.

[AZBrewCrew]

We really could have used a run or two there. Ugh

[DuWayne Steurer]

2nd and 3rd, nobody out, and they score nothing. I'm sure that won't come back to haunt us in Colorado.

[Vgmastr]

What's with the love affair with Kintzler?

[AZBrewCrew]

Why does Kintzler make me nervous every time he is on the hill?

[Vgmastr]

Of course the guy who's batting .200 in Colorado leads off the inning with a hit against Kintzler. Why is he still in the majors let alone allowed to pitch in high leverage situations?

[AZBrewCrew]

Ron has no one in the pen either. Sigh

When you have to get through 4 innings and your bullpen has one guy you can't use, and Rob Wooten, and 9 lefties, this is what happens.

[topper09er]

Walk Tulo and bring in Smith

This was the perfect spot to try and get a couple of innings out of Fiers.

[DuWayne Steurer]

Brandon "The Iceman" Kintzler.

[folly412]

And exhale. Going to have to get myself a paper bag and put #53 on it.

[endaround]

Why is Weeks still in the game? I've been flipping between this and the World Cup. Why did Roenicke not remove Weeks when he brought in Gennett?

[topper09er]

I assume the reason was because Weeks was due to lead off the next inning

[swheeler23]

I wonder if we will ever see Braun get out of this slump. I think the thumb is bothering him more then they are saying. Why else would he be standing almost out of the batter box? I miss seeing him hit.

[topper09er]

I've been flipping between this and the World Cup.

 

I see the game is currently an absolute blowout, 1-0

[phnxcrew]

rob wooten being a "go to" option isn't something I want to see for much longer. Is henderson getting close?

[Dead Simmons]

Good afternoon boys. They are showing your game on MLB right now so I'm tuned in. Going to sweep those Rockies huh?

[dlk9s]

I'm not sure if be "out of the batter's box" you mean standing away from the plate or deep, but he's always stood very far away from the plate.

[topper09er]

Stopping a pitched ball with your mask/hat etc is 1 base from where you were when it was touched. The ball remains in play.

Stopping a thrown ball is 2 bases

Stopping a hit ball is 3 bases

[topper09er]

Braun didnt even keep his eye on the ball, looked like he just jumped and hoped the ball would land in his glove
