a walk will do jenks.

[Klements Bratwurst]

put the bat on the shoulder, close eyes

[craigharmann]

A walk is as good as a hit!

[billyhallfan]

Oh deal with it, it's frustration. I'm sick of you coming on here and whining about every post that you don't like.

 

Ditto!!!

[fondybrewfan]

Dont swing Jenks dont swing

[trwi7]

I would hit Dillon for Jenkins here.. you still have 4 OF on the bench if needed.

 

Dillon already hit.

[pitchleague]

I'm constantly refreshing the IGT and the ESPN scoreboard (the autorefresh isn't working). Gripping stuff at work today, folks!

 

Sucks that I have to leave to go do lunch duty in five minutes or so.

 

GO BREWERS!

[Jimbo]

Jimbo, you need to pick another color instead of yellow. That's impossible to read. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

Not if you highlight it.http://static.yuku.com//domainskins/bypass/img/smileys/wink.gif

Geez, talk about being picky. Some of the original text was in white. Good thing I caught it and switched it to black. http://static.yuku.com//domainskins/bypass/img/smileys/smile.gif

Yes, highlighting would do the trick, but I wanted it to be user friendly. http://static.yuku.com//domainskins/bypass/img/smileys/smile.gif

[fondybrewfan]

Take another one!!!

[pretendastronaut]

Ugh. Big opportunity Yosted, but at least its tied.

[jason21nl]

Ned played this inning about as poor as a manager can

[billyhallfan]

that's terrible management, I hope it doesn't cost Milwaukee the game.

[ELCABALLO45]

Estrada would of swung at the first pitch and grounded out.

[trwi7]

Does anybody know if the pitches Jenkins swung at after 3-0 would've been called strikes?

[crewcrazy]

Oh well...get them in the 9th. Just put up a 0 here.

[afeter]

so frustrated. I guess ned didn't want the lead.

[GormanHarvey]

Ditto!!!

 

DOUBLE DITTO

[Trowekamp]

Ugh. Big opportunity Yosted, but at least its tied.

 

I don't know about that.. Billy was our best RH option.. since you have to assume that if Gross would have come in they would have brought in the LHP. The issue is Hall needs to perform there.

 

Now if Ned doesn't throw T-Bow or Cordero in the bottom and they lose I might agree with you.

[rluzinski]

You mean, every post from you and phatmatt, right?

[crewcrazy]

The first strike was called, wasn't it? I'm watching on MLB.TV and yes, the pitches he fouled off were strikes.

 

[Menotti80]

Now I hope the classic "team battles back to tie or take the lead only to lose it in the end" situation doesn't apply here...

 

And since this is the Yost-coached Brewers on the road at PNC, I am absolutely terrified of the next 1.5 innings...

[Samurai Bucky]

that's terrible management, I hope it doesn't cost Milwaukee the game.

Ned was playing for the tie anyway, so it fits into his plan.

 

[patrickgpe]

i have a stupid customer coming to meet with me in 15 minutes, i am going to be thinking about this game and wondering the outcome if we can't finish by then. booo

[ELCABALLO45]

Yes, they were strikes.

How much does Hall have to suck in one afternoon to say that he was the best option? I would take a hot Gross, with a great batting eye, versus a lefty then Hall versus anyone higher than a AA pitcher.
