2014-08-15 Brewers (Nelson) at Dodgers (Greinke), 9:10 PM CDT [Brewers win, 6-3; Nelson strong, OOOverbay clutch (3-RBI PH 2B)]

Man...I'd almost rather have Segura up. Weak contact may produce a run. A strikeout does nothing

 

Force out at the plate. He would absolutely have to hit it out of the infield.

[topper09er]

Is it too late in Week's career to hope he will choke up and put the ball in play?

[SRB]

Praying for a Weeks Special HBP here

If they play the infield in, true. Middle back and he could chop one to short a beat it out? High expectations for Jean, I know.

[WinkelsasVsSoriano]

Honestly, would have preferred they switched that up. Herrera now, then Rickie... but we'll see how it plays out.

[TURBO]

Odds that Rickie keeps his helmet on in this at bat?

2:1 it goes flying off with a massive swinging strikeout

Slim

[DuWayne Steurer]

yuck.

[TURBO]

I hope it flies off as he rounds 1B...

[topper09er]

Does Counsell actually think Rickie will take a "put the ball in play" swing here?

[Bombers]

Shocked

[Lee16]

Oh how I hate you, Rickie.

[AZBrewCrew]

Ugh. Overbay. Our bench is so underwhelming

[TURBO]

and now it is up to Overbay...

 

I hate our bench.

[WinkelsasVsSoriano]

Aaand, that's why I would have liked Herrera hit first. He seems to at least be putting the ball in play lately, and he's tough to double up.

[rondoman]

Counsell, love him but not on my TV.

[Bombers]

I agree.

[wildcat83]

I really don't get Weeks in that spot. Don't know the numbers but it seems like Herrera and Overbay both strike out less

[SRB]

Ooooooooooooo

[crossface21]

Wow.

[topper09er]

RRR is such an idiot. Herrera is the ideal hitter there since he doesn't strike out as much, plus he can play SS. So dumb.

 

But now I am happy

[Schlitz001]

Rickie was a bad choice.

[DuWayne Steurer]

How about that.
