07/23/07 Brewers (Capuano) @ Reds (Harang) 6:05pm CT

Brewers 11th: Three free passes to 1st (one on deliberate attempt to get hit by pitch), including an error and walk that could have been a strikeout. Then Estrada completely blows up the rally by lackadaisically running to 1st like both of his knees don't work. Damian Miller would have run that out, and I am not even a fan of Miller.

[Mike Felder]

Did that seriously just happen? I hate this team sometimes.

[bobskube]

How many, many, many, many, many, many, many times has it been mentioned not to bat Estrada 5th?

 

When he got dropped in the order it really helped him and the team. Then Yost rewards him in a place he already failed miserably at.

 

If we lose this game...I don't even want to think of it.

[mikevan1818]

I don't even have to watch - they are for sure scoring a run right here.

[dlk9s]

What just happened can't be a good omen.

[Bruce Ciskie]

Estrada = Garbage

 

Ridiculous. Pathetic. Inexcusable. Maddening.

 

Did I mention that Estrada is garbage?

[badgerfan.tgf]

Jeez....anyone else smell a walk off?

[PeaveyFury]

I wonder if Johnny had his head down and thought that Conine tagged first before going home.

 

He wouldn't have continued to "run" to first.

[jloos19]

I bet Brett is just sitting there laughing while watching everyone say horrible things about Estrada. I give it to him because he's been saying this from the beginning, even when he was hitting .330.

 

EDIT: Wow Brett, that was eerie...

[brettac1]

I despise Johnny Estrada with every fiber of my being. Always have, always will.

[MoneyballMan]

The thing is, we've had to watch games like this for 25 years. Even with the success thus far this season, you'd really hope we could avoid crap like this at least for one season!! Please?

[JB]

The Reds are fricking handing this game to us!

 

Add Estrada to the list of players I can not stand on this team!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[danzig6767]

Tell me again why he's batting fifth?

 

I've been trying to figure this out everytime Yost does it.My dislike for Estrada grows by the day.

[jaybird2001wi]

This has got to be the most bizarre extra inning contest I have ever seen.

[DougJones43]

If you are a potential playoff team who let's Johnny Estrada bat 5th, you're getting exactly what you deserve when something like that happens.

 

Seriously, I can't believe Hardy is still batting 2nd and Estrada 5th.

[Mike Felder]

As a wise man six posts above me once said, "Estrada = Nada!"

[TauPentaRei]

Paul Bako, Chad Moeller, Henry Blanco, Dave Nillson...

 

ANYONE! please!

 

at least all those guys "played the right way"

[bucks2281]

That 11th inning chokejob is something we'd be laughing at the Cubs for doing. I can't believe they screwed that up.

[pretendastronaut]

Not that everyone hasn't chimed in on Estrada's display, but seriously, he's on a tear right now. He could have saved an out in the SF series too if he would have even tried to get down to first base. And that horrible strike out to end Saturday's game where swung at a pitch that hit him. What the heck is going on with Estrada?

 

If we're that livid with him, imagine how the team feels about him right now.

[Mike Felder]

Where was Hart playing, the warning track?

[dpapo]

Don't know if this was mentioned as I haven't gone through the whole thread, but the Reds telecast of the game showed that the Brewers are the second worst team in the N.L. at hitting with runners in scoring position and two outs, hitting only .213. Only the Nats are worse at .211.

[rluzinski]

Isn't Wise as good or better against lefties? Why Shouse?

 

And Why was Hart playing on the warning track?

[Fear The Chorizo]

would have been an easy catch if Hart wasn't playing on the concourse out there

 

------------------

[adambr2]

Hart, with nobody on and 2 outs, is there any reason you were playing on the freaking warning track? I don't think you're allowed to jump over the fence to field a ball.

[MoneyballMan]

Geez, was Hart playing with his back against the wall there? I know we're playing deep to avoid the extra base hit, but come on!! Take at least a small chance on giving up the extra base hit in order to have a chance to catch that. Routine fly ball to center and we don't get out of the inning!
