Grayson talks out of the side of his mouth like Cheney, but he beats Anne C...

Two things concerning the 8th inning

 

1. Great job by Yost to finally pull a pitcher belows he totally implodes.

 

2. Turnbow is our setup guy and a good one at that. Every time he pitches everyone is nervous. When he gets the guys 1..2...3 like last night, nobody says anything but when he gives up some runs people want to shred him (thinking back to last year's 2nd half performance) Sometimes you have to tip the cap to the other team, as it is pretty obvious T-Bow isn't the only guy to give up a HR to Dunn. Atleast T-Bow wasn't walking guys.

[jlau20]

Speaking of the new guy, am I hearing things or does he call Craig Coshun...

 

"Coshauny?"

[rluzinski]

Weeks still has shown almost no power but he's hardly been striking out at all lately and has been getting a decent share of walks. I'll take that over the Weeks of 2 weeks ago.

 

Sometimes CV is just nasty. Sometimes Turnbow isn't. Kudos to Yost for recognizing that Turnbow didn't have it tonight.

 

I wish I could tell the difference, beyond the results. Turnbow looked like he had the good stuff and then got blasted. Can't it just sometimes be that the batters did well and or just found some holes?

[MoneyballMan]

BrewCrewCity, that's a very fair assessment. There are many other teams that would LOVE to have the T-bow/CoCo combination to close out games.

He was leaving them right over the plate. No hat tipping tonight. That was poor location.

[Bernman23]

ERA's be darned, when you factor in inheriter runners scored, and the gravity of situations; Villanueva has been much more pivotal to the Brewer's success than Turnbow.

[packfan79]

Ok so Rickie is hitting the ball better but with a runner on first and no outs up only a run why not bunt him? I don't understand why Yost refuses to have anyone on this team bunt but except the pitchers.

[MoneyballMan]

Wow, I wonder if Jim Skaalen is tucking Rickie in at night, too?! Give him credit as the hitting coach, but don't make him sound like his mother, pastor, therapist and hitting coach!

[bbaehman]

Cedeno RBI single 2-2 Cubs still batting in 6th

[jhart05]

Damn, Cubs tied it up.

 

Runners at the corners, but with two out.

Wow, Stanton looks as fat as Coffey. What are they eating down in their bullpen?

Coffee cake and toblerones.

[jhart05]

Ha'bout a Braun 2-run shot right here?

[SoCalBrewfan]

No way I'd let Braun face a lefty with a runner on in a tight game as an opposing manager right now.

[bbaehman]

Gotta be better than that, Craig

[bbaehman]

STEAL! Ned, send Rickie, please

[moofnelson]

Any reason why JJ wouldn't hit for Counsell?

No kidding. He's racked up 509 vs Lefties

[bbaehman]

End of 5.5...2-2 in St. Loo

[moofnelson]

Kendall grounds out with the bases loaded. 3 outs, tie game.

[SoCalBrewfan]

With an OPS north of 1700...(?!)

At least Turnbow did attack the strike zone and sometimes the hitter wins this duel. I prefer to see Turnbow attacking hitters than walking them.

 

I agree, nice job by Yost to make a quick switch to CV, before it's too late.

[MoneyballMan]

I feel a launcher here for Braun.

[JET15]

Man, I could have made a sandwich during this Stanton-Braun AB

[giffted1]

Great at-bat by Braun here. Hopefully it ends well.

 

Edit - Excellent
