A 4 pitch walk to Cody Ransom? Seriously?

[Menotti80]

and the brewer killer scott comes up

 

i hope my boy shouse can get an out...

[brewcrewkid14]

Yeah, tonight definitely wasn't Linebrink's best outing as a Brewer. Let's hope it doesn't come back to haunt them.

[rluzinski]

Shouse against a RH batter is not how I would have wanted this to be set up.

[giffted1]

Come on Loretta. Strike out on three pitches. Add to the conspiracy.

[apereira2222]

especially a good contact hitter like loretta, he's the last guy off the Astros bench I want to to face in this situation.

[trwi7]

UGH

[rluzinski]

Yost got the match up he wanted, I guess. Someone NEEDS to tell Yost that Shouse has not been good against righties his whole career. With his side arm delivery, he's a perfect LOOGY and should be used as one.

[JoeH33]

Awesome. It looks like its over in Chicago and we're in the process of blowing this.

[MoneyballMan]

Unbelievable.

[MoneyballMan]

Why the hell was Shouse in facing a RH hitter? Don't we have about 42 RP out there in the bullpen right now? What happened to his role as a "situational lefty"? Geez

[bucks2281]

Hart Attack baby.

[The Ignitor]

We're at a very bad spot in both games right now. Both us and Cincy have had opportunity blown after opportunity. Just can't afford this garbage tonight.

[trwi7]

Now we get to hear the guys on ESPN gush about how the Astros tied the game.

 

HART!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jason21nl]

Yost got the match up he wanted, I guess.

that is being out managed...shouse came in to face Scott. Scott then was PH for with Lo. You would think that a MLB manager would know that the opposition is going to counter.

[Menotti80]

texas roadhouse MVB baby!

[trwi7]

Well it looks like we're getting Yosted by Mackanin too since he did the exact same thing as Yost.

[trwi7]

Wow Dunn caught that.

[endaround]

Linebrink was pulled for Shouse. Cooper lifted Scott for Loretta. Shouse has to face Loretta. Cooper understands the rule, Yost never seems to grasp it.

Yost figured it would be too much of a pain in the butt to walk back out to the mound again.

 

[rluzinski]

Awesome. It looks like its over in Chicago and we're in the process of blowing this.

 

Well, Dunn just caught a call that was ruled a trap and a runner scores. Ouch.

[bucks2281]

Wow, the Brewers reeeally need to win this game. However, a road sweep may be physically impossible.

[biedergb]

"Yost figured it would be too much of a pain in the butt to walk back out to the mound again. "

 

I don't think you can remove a pitcher without him throwing a pitch except if there's an injury

[trwi7]

Waaaah but the Brewers get all the breaks waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[The Ignitor]

This game is an absolute must win. I don't care about the percentages, the odd, the fact that sweeps are hard. We need this game, period.
