Thank God the wind brought that Cameron ball back into play. I'd hate to see our offense have another chance to get a hit.

It's funny how the wind has hurt us (that AB, Braun's non-HR, Gallardo's possible HR) and helped Philly (Cameron's miscue yesterday).

One shot by Prince and it's a tie game.

[BrewBomber]

That'll work, gimme one from Prince instead.

[bbaehman]

So, you're telling me there's a chance........................

[diomedeh2]

I'd take a walk at this point.

[yount19.u]

How awesome would a Braun Bomb be here?

Or a Fielder Bomb to tie it up.

 

Edit: Darn it. I'm always late.

Memo to Prince Fielder:

 

Work the count. Watch the ball.

[ELCABALLO45]

Please Prince...

[cnycerveceros]

the playoffs are fun, aren't they.

[iluvlamp]

Hey Prince. I love you. How about a homer?

[brewerjamie15]

Yeah, the wind does seem rather anti-Brewers for some reason.

Odd how we realize things like that when a run here or there make a difference.

[rluzinski]

The idea that the offense simply isn't patient enough doesn't hold any water, IMO. They took more pitches in the regular season than the average NL team, so it's not like they are just hacking at everything. And just brining in a guy who puts more balls into play next year isn't going to help a lick if he's not actually better overall than his replacement.

 

The Brewers' offense projected to be the worst in the playoffs, so what are you going to do? They are what they are. If they want to get better next year, they will have to get some better hitters. 3B is screaming to be improved.

[BrewBomber]

All I ask for is a chance. When the tying run comes to the plate, you've had a chance. Let's go Crew!

[dlk9s]

It's been a disappointing couple games, but I do like that the Brewers keep fighting.

[jjfanec]

Braun, hardy and Durham seem to be the only guys seeing the ball well right now. Braun's hitting the ball well and Hardy and Durham are working the count. Lets go here Prince drive one.

[brewerjamie15]

dang

[bbaehman]

you have to take a pitch....ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

[davemakovec]

See the ball, hit the ball, Prince.

 

Not like that, though.

[nate82]

Stop swinging at the first pitch!

[iluvlamp]

allrighty then.

[dlk9s]

Well, it was a pretty good pitch at which to swing. Just didn't hit it well.

[cnycerveceros]

one pitch. I sense a pattern developing.

[ELCABALLO45]

Swinging at the 1st pitch is not always a bad thing.

 

He had a pitch to hit, he just didnt hit it well.

[jjfanec]

Prince has not had his "clutchness" lately. He could have either tied the game the last two days or at least got the Brewers closer but has had two rough at-bats.

[BrewBomber]

In all fairness, that pitch was grooved. Prince just didn't get his hands far enough in.
