Yeah, yea-ah!

 

[trwi7]

Sweet. If Counsell makes an out in his next at bat his SLG% will dip below .300.

[glassjawed]

I'm not saying anything about quality, just work the pitch count and get this guy out of the game!

[olliegjw]

If every Brewer hitter struck out on 10 pitches, their starter would not get out of the 4th inning!!!

[yfinn6]

Please, no one tell me that Counsell just had a quality AB, because it took him 10 pitches to K. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/frown.gif

Unfortunately, that seems to be the case.

[glassjawed]

My point exactly, ollie

[bigredrobbo]

Okay we get it, Counsell sucks! Jeez, some here are like a dog with a freakin' bone...

[sheetswannabe]

hm 8 k's in 4 innings. Thank god for the 2 homers otherwise this guy would be looking like CC

[glassjawed]

Yeah... this certainly seems to be a thread with a glass half empty feeling. We're up 3-1 !

[sheethead]

Yet they would not have any runs to show for it.

[Fear The Chorizo]

I can just visualize an opposing manager walk to the plate with a batting tee, and Counsell would still find a way to battle and grit his way into a tough 9-pitch AB that resulted in a foulout to the first baseman.

Yeah, but against the Nats that's the equivalent of being DOWN 3-1

Until the 5th http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

 

I kid, I kid.

I was just waiting for the next Counsell comment, and this was funny as can be. Solid usage of battle and grit, sir.

 

Now seriously, c'mon Bush, battle out there and get out of this jam!

[Fear The Chorizo]

Dave Bush doing his best to allow the Nationals right back in the game

[glassjawed]

I'm shutting up now.

[sheethead]

Someone tell me why Bush fears Casto so much.

[trwi7]

Not good Bush.

[sargennm]

Uh, oh. Here comes the patented Bush melt down.

[jakesdaddio]

I am suddenly reminded of Soup vs. Houston just before Cubs series. C'mon Bush. Don't be an idiot!!

[datrain711]

we need to get lucky here

[trwi7]

Someone tell me why Bush fears Casto so much.

 

His first name is Kory. You telling me you wouldn't be afraid of that if you were on the mound? That K is ferocious.

[Fear The Chorizo]

If the nationals don't score here, they should just contract themselves right now

[davemakovec]

Come on Dave, get a ground ball or a K here. Pretend it's not the Nats and that you need to go max-effort to record outs.

[eanelson4]

one....more....out...
