Maybe that's a good sign for Milwaukee

I'm following on Gameday, what happened?

[trwi7]

Ohh Nix will be coming up vs a lefty. How fun.

[Legacy25GT]

I really really really hope they keep Villy in to bat and stay in for the 8th inning.

[Oldcity]

What happened on the play?

[yount19.u]

Easy pop up to Rivera and the ball dropped as he tried to take it out of his glove. Rivera had time to argue this to the ump and throw out Loretta at first when he realized he would not get the call. Pretty funny play.

It was a popup. Rivera caught it and it looked like he was taking it out of his glove but the umpire said he just dropped it. Loretta wasn't running hard so Rivera just picked it up and threw to Weeks covering 1st for the out.

Nix pinch hitting against a lefty? Ouch.

[bbaehman]

Nix lowers his .143 average

It's a strange game.

According to Gamecast, that called strike-three pitch to Nix looked well off the plate.

[Oldcity]

Rickie will always have a place in my heart.

[Gobias Industries]

Nix has that dangerous combo of having no plate dicipline with a low contact rate. But hey, at least he's ripped.

[sheethead]

Any pitcher who throws 4 straight fastballs to Rickie Weeks should be DFA'd immediately.

 

Edit: Hope you liked the Bigs Wright. Way to keep the HR derby going JJ!

[wibadgers23]

Would it have killed Melvin to bring up a guy like Brantley or Gillespie instead of Nix and his career .237 average?

Couldn't you say that about most Brewers?

That is funny...he's a .330 hitter in the weightroom

[yount19.u]

Awesome.

[Legacy25GT]

whew.... been 1 hour since I've exhaled!

[Crew2323]

Gamecast is making this strike zone look whack. How does it look on TV?

It did, but it would have only been a matter of time before he did strike out.

 

Edit: Karstens on Saturday!? Ugh

 

Edit 2: JJ!!

[bbaehman]

HARDY comes through big!!!!!!!!!!

[wibadgers23]

Hardy!

[Oldcity]

In play, run(s)!

[trwi7]

THANK YOU J.J.!!!!!!!!!!!!!
