2014-09-04 Cardinals (Wacha) at Brewers (Peralta), 7:05 PM CDT [Brewers lose, 3-2]

[jerichoholicninja]

Those last two outs pretty much epitomize the high points of this current streak.

 

The last 3 outs were pretty much Ron in a nutshell.

 

1. Stupid pinch hit decision combined with stupid bunt call.

2. Crappy hitter at the plate with better options on the bench.

3. Segura taking his same horrible approach at the plate (as he has for the last year and a half) that should have been addressed months ago.

no panic from Ron he expect players to excute

[nate82]

How was that a horrible approach? It was a pitch he should be swinging at. This notion of taking the first pitch just to take it is dumb. If you get a good pitch to swing at you swing at it no matter what the count is and no matter what the situation is.

[Bombers]

Well it's been fun - we were close but I feel a holiday dinger here

[brewmann04]

close is not good this time of the year just can't get that clutch hit

[endaround]

Hey if we keep running out a spent Will Smith he'll regain his form at some point!

[Bombers]

Lol . Good night folks

[Bombers]

Molina is up. RRR says let's keep with this kintzler thing

[AdvantageSchneider]

Out by a mile and Jay isn't slow.

[pebadger]

Can we pretend that that Brewers took the lead and won on that play?

[AdvantageSchneider]

We can get to Rosenthal.

[bani1717]

Just the spark we need. This is our time! Unless they overturn it on replay...

[Bombers]

Nice!!! Let's get some runs fellas

[jerichoholicninja]

We can get to Rosenthal.

 

That means bases loaded with no outs followed by a 3 pitch K (on 3 balls) and a 6-4-3 double play.

[dlk9s]

Matheny is such a frat bro turd.

[pebadger]

The fact that that was even reviewed makes me angry.

[brewmann04]

Just hate this whole cards team.

[brewmann04]

if Parra wins this it be unreal here

[Bombers]

Let's bunt him over RRR so they can intentionally walk Luc

[jerichoholicninja]

Just saw the clip of the replay. How stupid that that was revealed. I don't know what's worse the fact the Matheny made an issue of it, the rule itself, or that Matheny talked with the umps after the review and wasn't tossed like he should have been.

 

Just for morbid curiosity I would have like to seen them overturn the call just to see if Ron would actually do anything about it.

[brewmann04]

what a deflating game now almost have to win the next three games.

[pebadger]

SO happy they pulled the best player on the season for a meaningless pinch runner who would have at best tied the game.

[pebadger]

It's easy to bag on umps, but those were two great ball/strike calls in a huge situation.

[Bombers]

Once again. Really glad Ramirez was pinch run for

 

Oh well. Let's go Rogers!!

[jerichoholicninja]

Totally shocked Rogers is actually pinch hitting here.
