Alright lets go here Estrada.

please johnny please

[Mass Haas]

FSN Ohio notes the Brewers are # 1 with 89 "holds", Reds are last with 48.

 

Wow.

[And That]

I'm surprised they pitched to Estrada, given how they just as easily could have put him on without fear of him scoring on anything less than a triple, and then had a lefty face Counsell. But all is well that ends well for Burton and the Reds.

[And That]

Ah, the sweet memories of Mike Rivera playing catcher return.

 

On a related note, I just threw up.

I believe a triple is not possible for a hitter batting behind Estrada, unless they hit one over the fence and elect to stop at 3rd base.

Actually, I thought Rivera did a pretty solid job for us last year in a few months work. Certainly didn't make me miss Chad Moeller. Not bad defensively, either.

[Mass Haas]

Don't even come near the plate to Junior, Derrick.

[jlau20]

So...biggest win in terms of keeping pace with the Cubs, or most disappointing loss in terms of keeping pace with the Cubs?

 

I'm just praying that Valentin won't be up with the game on the line. If we don't take the lead next inning, should be interesting to see who Ned uses for the bottom.

[adambr2]

We need to take the lead now. Extra innings at GABP just doesn't work out well for us.

[Marc Newfield of Dreams]

Someone break Valentin's legs now.

Rivera isn't a terrible receiver, but his arm isn't any better than Estrada's.

Nice hit, Craig

[brewcrewnation]

good start to the inning leadoff single of cousell

[Marc Newfield of Dreams]

Well done Michael. C'mon Rickie!!

[phatmatt1215]

Nice sacrifice, Mike.

[adambr2]

C'mon Rickie. If you want to be BACK, come through here. This would be huge.

[BowMeHunter]

DARN YOU CHAT

 

LETS GO RICKIE

[brewcrewnation]

[kgbaseball]

Strike zone has been all over the place the last couple innings.

[marquettefan13]

Like hearing the Let's Go Brewers chant - come on Rickie!

[tomwopat]

It's like the chat knows the LI

[BowMeHunter]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS RICKIE

[adambr2]

Why do Red fans groan pathetically for a pitch 6 inches off the plate?

[kgbaseball]

YES!!
