2014-08-17 Brewers (Peralta) at Dodgers (Haren), 3:10 PM CDT [Brewers SWEEP, 7-2; 5 RBI from Luc, 6 scoreless IP from Peralta]

[stoutdude04]

Really need to think about platooning Herrera and Segura at this point. And yeah that does sound insane.

 

Yea he did hammer that one though.

[coolcool]

Padres had tying run at 3rd in the 9th but popped up.

[topper09er]

Cards sneak it out, Padres strand the winning run on 2nd

[igor67]

I'd go so far as to think about pulling Gennett with the big lead today.

[topper09er]

and for some reason the Nats-Pirates are just starting their game now

[wildcat83]

I'd go so far as to think about pulling Gennett with the big lead today.

 

Pretty early for that now, but around the 7th maybe.

[folly412]

Matheny pulled his closer. Someone make sure Roenicke is sitting down when he finds that out.

[SRB]

MVP #2! MVP#2!

[folly412]

Is this the Dodger equivalent of Wang?

[SRB]

[sarcasm]I appreciate how Dodgers fans are chanting "Je-ter" for Braun. Great sign of respect, comparing him to The Captain.[/sarcasm]

[WinkelsasVsSoriano]

Ruh roh, Ramirez out of the game. Hopefully nothing serious.

[AZBrewCrew]

Radio is speculating they are just resting him with the lead

[SRB]

Rests A-Ram and brings in another LHP for some variety if Mattingly is rolling with various RP the rest of the way.

[WinkelsasVsSoriano]

Radio is speculating they are just resting him with the lead

 

And they were correct. BA just said "manager decision".

[Abe525]

Now I have "Turn Down the What" stuck in my head. Thanks Turner.

[bigredrobbo]

Yeah, 7 runs, the way Wily has pitched this year, should be enough to bring in a Spring Training lineup!

[folly412]

Gradually empty that bench. Scooter and Braun next.

[The stache]

If only we had a decent backup outfielder, so we could give Ryan Braun the rest of the day off to rest his ailing thumb with a 7-0 lead.

Yeah, if only we had a gold glove backup. Thats the only acceptable way to replace Braun

If Kemp hits one out its 7-3 and you feel pretty uneasy about Braun and Gennett both being out. He popped up, but that's how quick it can change. I'd be glad to see them out after 7 if the lead stands.

[wildcat83]

Willy gonna knock one out this year? He's more than due

[endaround]

Why is Duke pitching in a 7 run game?

[davego]

Because it's the 7th. Duke has to pitch in the 7th. I'm looking forward to Will Smith and K-Rod also getting into the game.

[folly412]

"Needs work". Four days causes an overworked reliever to become rusty?

 

Estrada up now. Would have just went with the three inning save. Or remembered that Gorelanny is still on the team.

Or hope to get Kintzler some work in to fix him (if possible)
