If Julian Tavarez is truly our best option in this situation, then it's official: Melvin needs to go with Yost.

[Mr QL]

We can't lose this game.

[Bruce Ciskie]

We can't lose this game.

 

Prepare for the inevitable, sir.

[PeaveyFury]

Tavarez huh? Interesting decision to use him in a tie game like this...

 

Yeah, not thrilling. But I suppose there's really no one left with Dillard and DiFelice going last night, as they're probably the last out of the pen tonight.

[Brewcrewin07]

I wonder if they absolutely had to, if JJ could PH?? Not that it would be any great shakes, but isn't he now the last bench player available??

[pebadger]

Mota is not available until the 16th inning.

[Bruce Ciskie]

I think it's time to try someone else. None of those four pitches were close, and we shouldn't be pitching Matt Macri like he's Barry Bonds.

I think you can say that about all the remaining options.

[pebadger]

Imperfections and all, this has been about as much as you can ask for in a mid-June ballgame.

These two teams always seem to have a couple doozies out of the six every year.

[PeaveyFury]

Well, that got the desired result, but was extra stressful.

[Bruce Ciskie]

Tavarez really did a man-up job there.

 

I tip my cap that I'm not wearing.

[Brewcrewin07]

Maybe Bennie can throw in inning if this thing goes about 18 innings?? http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

[dlk9s]

Let's finish this in the bottom half, please. I want to get some sleep tonight (east coast).

[UndraftedFA]

Very exciting game! Hopefully, a good ending for the Brewers.

[pebadger]

Between this and seeing Woods make two huge eagle putts to take the lead going into tomorrow, it's been one heck of a night of TV so far.

[uwisfan]

I would really like them to use Parra as a PH if the situation called for it..

[FidoMcCokefiend]

Let's get out of this now. I'm not sure I like the thought of Mauer and Morneau facing whatever Ned's crazy head decides to throw out there in the 12th.

[Brewcrewin07]

My god, why the constant swings at the first pitch in extra innings?? Seriously, have they never heard of working the count a little bit??

[thablingster]

Get on base for The Muscle, Craig.

[cruiserx43]

That was a less than inspiring inning

[thablingster]

I would really like them to use Parra as a PH if the situation called for it..

You could see Parra lurking in the dugout with his batting gloves on, so I'd imagine he bats in the 12th in the pitchers spot.

 

[olsonnet]

another leadoff hit. bad feeling about this inning with morneau, etc... coming up

[Mr QL]

Ugh, Tavarez better not come back in.

[FidoMcCokefiend]

I'm thrilled to see Tavarez out again for the 12th.
