Holy crap, he just swung at a pitchout.

 

That's not that uncommon when a hit & run is on. Gotta try and protect the runner.

[jhart05]

Well take your pick...

 

Pinch hit for Mench or Hall at this point?

 

Then he saved Jenks for the pitchers spot, hoping someone would get on base.

 

I see nothing wrong with that.

[Nearsighted Views]

They boo him in the 4th and now they're chanting SO-RI-ANO. Classic.

[JET15]

At least Theriot has been our friend tonight

[brewcrewnation]

Ok brewers have a rally, every one put you hat on inside out.

[crewcrazy]

Alright, pinch hitter and then the top of the order against Dumpster. Hopefully Counsell's not the one pinch hitting to lead off.

[adambr2]

Did we keep our receipt when we traded Inman, Thatcher, and Garrison for Linebrink? The Padres must have a 90 day return policy, every good business does. Think they'll still honor it even though he's been used?

[jhart05]

Well here you go.

 

You've got your hottest hitters coming up in the 9th.

 

Can't ask for much more than that.

 

Do this!!!

[bbaehman]

The Brewers are playing WAAAAAAY better in this series...but there can't be more than 10 losses left this season.

[Brewtacular]

Time for a last stand!!!

Lets Go

[crewcrazy]

I hear a Let's Go Brewers chant. Nice. Get a knock here, Dillon.

[Samurai Bucky]

Let's go, boys! Time for one of your rare late-inning heroics!

[brewcrewnation]

here we go BREWERS he we go

[chowyo123]

atta boy Dillon. Keep it going.

[Brewtacular]

a start...

[jhart05]

There you go Dillon.

 

Now WEEKS!!!

[thablingster]

Alright Dillon!

 

Come on Rickie, JJ, Braun, Prince--get it done!

[Hammer]

Ok Rickie, pull a Dorn here. Get in there and lean in to one...

[brewcrewnation]

allright good start

[jhgill]

Could the exit of Yost be any more obvious/necessary?

 

1. not sticking up for Corey Hart on the absolute BS call. He needs to fire this team up; they're obviously looking so deflated tonight. If he gets run out of the game....good. He needs it; the team needs it.

 

2. Capuano. If you're gonna take him out of the lineup, TAKE HIM OUT OF THE LINEUP. I like Cappy as a person as much as anyone else, but don't look for opportunities to get him back in. For Chrissake, you thought enough of his ineptitude to pull him from a starter's role, but now it seems he's getting just as many shots out of the pen.

 

3. Lineup choice. JJ has been hitting so much better in the eight spot. JJ says he prefers hitting in the eight spot. Where's he hitting in this important game? 2. 2? Are you kidding me? Are we trying to "shake" things up a bit after a big win? ***!!!!

 

4. Linebrink. Enough already. The trade was a bad idea. How many more games does he need to lose? Just because he's in the pen, you don't have to trot him out there.

 

5. He's lost the team. I've never seen more players leaning back running to first base. Slowing down before the plate? Hustle damn it!! He looks totally lost whenever we see him. He's completely lost me. He needs to go now!!

[Mike Felder]

Ok Rickie, pull a Dorn here. Get in there and lean in to one...

Wow. Quick, tell JJ to hit a home run!

 

[chowyo123]

Weeks finds ways to get on. Awesome.

[Brewtacular]

a better start...

[crewcrazy]

RICKIE GETS PLUNKED! Come on JJ, avoid the double play. Base hits, guys, base hits...no need for a 3-run HR.

[DougJones43]

No BUNT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
