8/11/08 Nationals (Mock) at Brewers (Bush): 1:05 PM CDT

Anybody else notice that Gameday lists it as a soft fly ball?

 

Toby, that was $5 well spent.

[And That]

Toby, that was $5 well spent.

I'm suing for punitive damages.

 

[owbc]

I'm calling grand slam #1 here.

[jhart05]

Hey, let's get a little greedy right here...

 

How about a Grand Slam Billy?

 

What do ya' say??

[Darnell Junior]

"The Brewers are in Grand Slam Range!" - BA

[endaround]

Why Hall and not Durham when a pitching change is very likely?

[And That]

End, no one was up in the bullpen. The Nats are very low on arms.

[jhart05]

Well, still set up for the Grand Slam...

[davemakovec]

A pitching change isn't that likely. Their starter went less than five innings because they were so short that he pitched three days ago.

 

The Nats are really short on relievers right now after that double header and yesterday's thirteen innings.

[owbc]

Maybe Weeks can hit the grand slam...

[endaround]

Weeks batting to stay in the game....

[trwi7]

What is this? 20 walks in the last 16 innings? Me like.

[Bernman23]

In key situations Weeks acts like his bat is part of the petrified forest

[jhart05]

Oh well. Seemed like the ump just wanted to get that inning over with, and Rickie was unfortunately the one at the plate at the time.

 

Lock this one down bullpen. Complete the sweep!!

 

 

EDIT: Maybe not. Gameday shows that second pitch above the belt, but that is supposed to be called a strike anyway.

[razzzorsharp]

Let's go Riske. If you pitch well, Ned may use you again next week!

[jflick1215]

Two things from the game today. First, really enjoyed putting the "-" after Counsell's hit...sorry, Toby. Also, end, it was a grounder by Gabe, but Milledge loafed after it, and he was going for 2 all the way. Not even a throw on him...

[endaround]

Riske might not get the 9th now, he's at 22 pitches. McClung time?

[Oldcity]

Yeah, McClung would make sense.

[endaround]

Now using Mota might be good because that means he wouldn't go tomorrow....

[trwi7]

Brutal day for J.J., two balls that were nearly homers (according to gameday) then a ground, two strikeouts and an error.

[endaround]

Hardy well on his way to another hitless streak

[TauPentaRei]

announced attendance anyone able?

[sargennm]

Once again, if you read this IGT without knowing the score, you would have no idea the Brewers were well on their way to a four-game series sweep.

[trwi7]

announced attendance anyone able?

 

Don't recall the exact attendance but on the radio they said 40,000+ and another sellout.

[bigredrobbo]

Once again, if you read this IGT without knowing the score, you would have no idea the Brewers were well on their way to a four-game series sweep.

 

But you'd think Counsell went 0 for 20, made 7 errors and took a machete to the Polish Sausage!
