I think Garner is still wondering how far up that Fielder HR went and doesn't want to see another one, huh?

[The Ignitor]

Another awful at bat with a runner in scoring position.

I love Brauny, but I find it hard to believe he is actually hitting .343 w/ RISP this year. He sure has struggled mightily in clutch situations recently. It's obvious he is trying to do to much by the horrible pitches he's swinging at in those situations.

Another awful at bat with a runner in scoring position.

I love Ryan Braun and all (he is, after all, the Second Coming), but man, has he been bad in clutch situations.

I thought for sure Ryan was going to hit at least a double. It happens.

[Oldcity]

This could be the game that determines their fate for the rest of the season.

Man, if I had a dollar for every time I've heard that this year...

[Mass Haas]

It's amazing that a player as hot and effective as Ryan Braun can look so bad at the plate on any one plate appearance.

 

Like, they say, even the best fail 70 percent of the time (or 66% in Ryan's case).

[Brewcrewin07]

Oh good, bases loaded, how will they manage to strand them all this time??

[MoneyballMan]

That was a great outing by Miller, huh?

[MoneyballMan]

Come on - positive thoughts. Rally caps. Rally rabbit! We haven't had a discussion about the Rally Rabbit in a couple of weeks! I can just picture that goofy thing on the scoreboard right now.....

[Oldcity]

I think we could use a Rick White appearance.

[Oldcity]

Thataway Billy.

[The Ignitor]

For the record, my "another awful at bat with runners in scoring position comment" was not directed at Braun in particular, but the entire team, which seems to have the strike out curse in a situations where putting the ball in play in any way will likely safely advance the runners.

[Brewcrewin07]

Atta boy Billy!!!

[Nearsighted Views]

Billy with a ball to right...beautiful.

[igor67]

We have Bill Hall to be clutch when needed it's all about the second half push for the MVP.

[MoneyballMan]

The rabbit does his job! Someone plop a picture in here (I don't know how or I'd do it!)

[Mass Haas]

Please don't walk Jenkins so that Estrada can GIDP.

[Brewcrewin07]

And as that happens Jason Kendall, yes I said Jason Kendall singles home 2 to put the Cubs up 3-0. I said it before, but the Rockies bats will be silent this series. http://static.yuku.com/v2//domainskins/bypass/img/smileys/mad.gif

Nice AB there Jenks

[adambr2]

Sweet AB Jenks. Nice patience. Good thing Billy came through.

[Mass Haas]

What the crap was that, Geoff?

[Fear The Chorizo]

Mr. Jenkins, you suck!

[TauPentaRei]

I've seen my fair share of heinous Jenkins at-bats... but that one joins the top ten.

 

Congrats Geoff.

[The Ignitor]

Thank you Billy for showing how it is done. Thank you Jenkins for reminding me what not to do with a runner on third with one out.
