Gah...dang Nook Logan and his track speed.

[bucksman4]

Man oh man....Rickie sure is struggling right now. It's like we all expect a pop out. In all fairness, he got decent wood on that last one but still he needs to produce more hits.

[pitchleague]

Turnbow is in? Nice. Hope he does the job.

[TeeJayh1980]

shouse can't pitch more than 1 inning?

[PrinceFielder28]

right in the buttock

[PrinceFielder28]

that's gonna leave a mark

what happened?

[fondybrewfan]

I am smelling a walk off here today

[afeter]

come on now. lets not let this slip, every game.

 

lets go baby. J J get it going

[crewcrazy]

Turnbow got hit in the butt with a line drive. Didn't seem to faze him.

 

Looks like this'll be JJ's last at-bat of the game, barring extra innings.

 

Edit: RIP hitting streak.

[PrinceFielder28]

turnbow got hit right in the buttock with a line drive, shook it off and finished the inning

[pitchleague]

nice inning from Derrick, I'm guessing as the Scorboard page at least is updating espn.com. Looked like a Zimmerman K.

 

LET'S GET SOME RUNS!

[bucksman4]

It seems like lately all of Ned's moves have been working out in our favor. I get the sense that bringing in T-Bow here was a move that foreshadows a run or two this inning.

[bjkrautk]

A bit surprised Ned went with Turnbow this inning (8th)...if they don't get the lead in the bottom half, will Derrick pitch a second inning, or will Cordero come in for his 5th consecutive appearance (in what would be a non-save opportunity)?

[PrinceFielder28]

here we go brew crew...all it takes is one run...lets win it right here

[brettac1]

There goes the hitting streak, provided there's not extras.

[PrinceFielder28]

JJ's streak may be over

[afeter]

no co-co that is for sure. I bet he goes with a long man

[fondybrewfan]

JJ's hit streak might be over

[Ennder]

When are teams going to learn that bringing in a lefty to face Prince is just a waste of resources.

I think Villanueva is the logical choice. Just have him go the rest of the way.

[SeriesFinale]

All it takes here is one

[bucksman4]

Coco and Villanueva are in the 'pen warming up as we speak.

[jloos19]

Villanueva and Coco are warming up right now. If we don't score here, we'll likely see Villy. If we do score here, looks like we may see Coco again.

[crewcrazy]

CoCo and Villanueva warming up in the pen. Assuming CoCo comes in with a lead; CV the Younger if it's still tied.
