"my gosh how many hrs has piazza hit against the brewers in his career"

 

Coming in to the game, Piazza has 16 HRs in 158 AB in his career against the Brewers, with an OPS of 1.160.

[Oldcity]

I guess they're going to wait as long as possible. The pen has been worked a lot lately.

[H0FFY]

ummmmm, why cant a major league pitcher throw a strike

 

and why does a mlb manager leave said pitcher in

[no19no1]

Is anyone actually watching the game? Watching the mlb gameday it shows a lot of Doug's pitches in the zone and called balls. Not sure how that works.

 

He's really not close from what I see.

[DuluthBrew]

7-3 after this inning. Put 9 & 1 on base with nobody out, spells trouble.

[bucksman4]

When Davis is off, HE's OFF. I'm sure it looks like he's allergic to throwing a strike. Get someone in there who will throw strikes. We haven't seen Wise in awhile....let him suck up 3-4 innings.

[H0FFY]

ned please give us a chance, please, bring in a reliever now

[Weirdos19]

Remember guys, the Crew is going to the Lauching Pad next. They need to try to save their bullpen.

 

Let Eveland try to work 3 innings or so.

 

 

Not Helling.

[Oldcity]

Any way he gets out of this?

[Kraft4a3]

JDLR time?

 

Hmmm...take out a lefty who has trouble with walks to put in, what's that, another lefty who has trouble with walks.

[stkmtimo]

Let Doug work through it. A major league pitcher is paid to do so, and Doug will. We need him to eat the innings.

[H0FFY]

if we get out of this inning it is a miracle

[And That]

Davis is not even close. Ucky.

[bucksman4]

I called the Piazza HR....my instincts are telling me Doug finally throws a strike......however it will be right up the middle and Wright will get right and hit a salami. Hope I'm wrong this time.

[AJAY]

Is Ned even watching this game?

 

CHANGE THE PITCHER.

[cassells uglies]

davis should of been gone long ago. his is already at 89 pitches and cant smell the strike zone. ridiculous.

 

this is why neddys contract should not of been extended.

[Oldcity]

It's not that easy as just "Change the pitcher." They have to think about the next games. The bullpen is already overworked. He hasn't allowed any runs yet this inning somehow, so let him try to work out.

You can't be serious? Wise worked an inning TWO DAYS AGO! Plus, he's our set-up man, not our long-reliever.

[Weirdos19]

Evidently he has to walk the run in to get taken out. Ned is always a pitch to late.

[Oldcity]

NOW you can get him out. Ugh.

[DuluthBrew]

Hit the showers DD

[stkmtimo]

Oh boy. 7 walks, Jason Jennings style. Take him out now. Sorry guys, I was wrong.

 

Doug needs to put this one behind him and work on throwing strikes his next start.

of all the ignorant...........nevermind. Why do I even try anymore?

[Kraft4a3]

Glad you are not making the decision.

[DuluthBrew]

Thanks for gutting it out to the tune of 3 2/3 when the bullpen is taxed
