Dang, stranding two in scoring position. Such is the story of the NL.....

[SeriesFinale]

Yeah, shame Hart is down in Nashville, Rillo would've been a great pinch running opportunity for him.

 

Great to see Damina come through though

 

Would've liked to have seen Prince here and Capellan in the bottom of the inning though

[steve267268]

now let's KEEP this lead

[Brewer Fever]

Here's a novel idea...we hold this lead for the duration of the game. Nice job getting the run in Damian, now let's get it done.

[Invader3K]

Ah...well, it sounded like Yost didn't have any good options, other than maybe having Moeller pinch hit (which would've been weird). At least Cappy tried to beat the throw to 1st on that dropped third strike.

[jloos19]

What do you mean leaving in Cappy too long? He's at something like 80 pitches, and they haven't really hit him hard at all tonight. He definitely deserved to stay in the game. Plus, the only righty we have on the bench is Moeller. Good decision by Ned. It may backfire, yes, but I think that it's the correct move.

[JET15]

Should have had Durrington pinch run for Cirillo http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif Where is that guy, anyway?

[steve267268]

One more inning from Cappy, get an insurance run or two, put in Wise, then the Bow

[steve267268]

this is usually where he loses control.. if he hits someone, we gotta take him out.

[COOOOP]

Goodness 2-1 ! Moeller is the only rh bat we have left on the bench, I doubt he will get ph'd unless this thing goes into mega extra innings, which I hope won't happen!

[strawbossisevil]

Why is Cappy afraid of Ausmus, I just don't understand. (shakes head)

[Invader3K]

Pettite's done, yay.

 

Is it just me, or has someone at FSN been very slow to update the base runner "map" and line score at the top of the screen so far this year? It's kind of irritating when you know there's no runner on third (for example), and it takes them like 30 seconds to change it. Just a pet peeve of mine.

[Brewer Fever]

Baby steps...we've held the lead for 1 inning!

[DuWayne Steurer]

Whew. Man, I get nervous every time ANYTHING is hit to Rickie right now. Nice performance by Cappy tonight. Good deal getting 7 out of him after the bullpen was abused yesterday.

[prince of roy]

Thank god I love being wrong and it turns out good for the brewers. That was too close.

[steve267268]

YEAAAHHHHHHHHHHH

 

Now let's get him some runs boys!!!

[milwaukeesportsfan]

Whew!!! OK, now let's get the bats going. Big inning off the Astros bullpen coming here, I think.

[jloos19]

Biggi-O! Biggio out.

[valpocrewsader]

Whew! Dodged a bullet! Before I could post, "Just plunk Biggio and pitch to Taveras", Cappy gets him out on a hot liner!

 

Let's get some insurance, boys...

[steve267268]

If this was Miller Park i'd let Cappy go 8, maybe 9...

 

but i just don't know.

 

I guess as long as Taveras doesn't get on, let him challenge Berkman and Ensberg. He owns Ensberg.

[thunderbat30]

talking about the NBA and the Bucks facing Detroit...

 

Bill: "How's Detroit?"

 

Daron: "They've struggled the past few years but are on the rise."

 

Seriously. Are you two idiots?

[mastershake76]

All right, Brady's been on base 3 times tonight. Maybe he's finally turning this around.

[jloos19]

Come on Ned, let JJ hit here, especially 2-0.

[jloos19]

Thunderbat, they were being 100% sarcastic.

[Vgmastr]

Stupid hit and run call. That would have been a 3-0 count if JJ wasn't forced to swing.
