Someone want to explain to Bill that if Shouse came in to pitch to Helton he didn't then have to face Atkins?

Bill just said that righties were hitting about .200 off of Villy.....I'm guessing Bill was screwed up?

 

[MadisonBrewerBlue]

look at cv's splits against lefties

[rluzinski]

Please put Counsell in at 2B next inning.

Time for Mota in the 8th???

You do remember what happened Friday night, right?

 

 

Yeah, that's what I was referring to. I think Ned will do it, because he's stubborn and wants to prove it was the right thing then, and still is now. It will probably end in disaster.

Hardy giving up an at bat by trying to bunt for a hit..pretty funy

[thablingster]

Yesterday it was king George, now Viz? This is like a walk down memory lane seeing all the old Brewers, lol.

 

Great job by CV to get out of that inning. Now lets hope Mota doesn't give it up like he did Friday.

[jason21nl]

Branyan just looks cool

[craigharmann]

Hardy is slow, why would you ever try that?

Because his running like a girl might be distracting to the fielders and he might actually get on?

But that's only for this season. In his career they're much more normal. I hate when Mota comes in to pitch, I absolutely don't trust him with a 1 run lead. Make it a 2 run lead 3TO!

[Brawndo the Thirst Mutilat]

They found the only guy in the house with worse looking sunglasses than Russell Branyan's.

Nice managing by Yost. It was a lose-lose situation for him--if Villanueva gives up the big hit, people would be asking why Shouse didn't get put in. If Shouse came in and gave up a big hit, people would be blaming him for not sticking with Villy like they did on Friday.

 

Let's hang on to this, we need it.

[BrewCrewForever]

And Vizcaino wants no piece of Branyan.

[jason21nl]

it would have been nice to PH hall for branyan last time

Perfect, the better hitter gets an AB here and the better defender can them come in? Will it happen though? I say no. Will Cameron come in, I mean Kapler "is a fine defender" or whatever it was.

You're right, no one in this thread was calling for Shouse before Helton came up.

I just came up with this (to the tune of the Subway $5 footlong commercial)

He's get, get, getting on (or out)

You, sir, are a poet.

[rluzinski]

So both of Yost's batters got to bat. No excuses now. Bring in Cameron and Counsell for the defensive upgrade. NO BRAINER!

Thank you. I do like to fancy myself as a songwriter, although music is more my strong point than lyrics. Sometimes, inspiration strikes!

 

[BrewCrewForever]

Lots of men left on base. Nothing new there. I guess the Brewers are consistent at something.

Getting on base?

 

[jason21nl]

but he didn't put cam in!!!!!

[craigharmann]

Please put Counsell in at 2B next inning.

So do I have to take Ned a cookie for you, too?
