2009-05-16 Brewers (Suppan) at Cardinals (Wainwright): 12:10 PM CDT [Brewers win, 1-0]

[dlk9s]

I don't know if anyone's following on ESPN GameCast, but they have a cool new feature that shows you the percentage of each team winning. Right now the Brewers have a 78% chance of winning if anyone's curious.

Yeah, it's fun. If you go to fangraphs.com, you can see a line graph of the percentage throughout the game.

[JoeH33]

I would think you'd have to bunt the runners over with Kendall here.

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

Get it down Jason

[jeffy]

Let's hope Wainwright batting turns into a nice mistake...

 

Edit: Dag Nabbit

Maybe it'll be a mistake in that it'll lead to going too long with him instead.

[Gobias Industries]

Ugh, isn't Kendall suppose to do all the little things?

[GormanHarvey]

Sure would have been nice if JK coulda slapped one through that hole there...and now he K's on a pitch in the dirt. Awesome. C'mon Craiger!

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

C'mon Kendall...if you can barely get over the Mendoza line at least be able to drop a bunt. Cost us a run.

[GormanHarvey]

Sorry BA, but Craig did not "hammer that ball to center"

[dlk9s]

Epic Kendall fail.

[Ranier]

I can't see the game, but did Kendall try to bunt with one strike and miss or did he swing away?

[GormanHarvey]

That was easily one of Rickie's worst AB's of the season. Ouch

[hurricanecrush]

Well that was disappointing. Nice AB Kendall.

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

I'm ready to start PH'ing a pitcher for Kendall if he can't even drop a bunt.

[MillerParkSouth]

talk about a gigantic momentum swing the other way. hopefully we can hold on here.

[JoeH33]

I'd rather Hoffman came in for the 8th and DiFelice in the 9th just based on where in the batting order we are.

[Gobias Industries]

Rickie, start going to RF again please.

 

That inning really sucked.

[topper09er]

If we cant score runs in games like this in an inning like that we are not going to win the World Series. They better learn from this and not fail to score these FREE runs late in close games very often.

[Mr QL]

Ugh Kendall

 

Honestly, Rivera might be the better player at this point

[topper09er]

WALK PUJOLS

[JCREW]

I don't see any great reason to give Albert anything near the zone.

[JoeH33]

Phew...its nerve racking staring at my computer just praying "in play (runs)" doesn't pop up with Pujols at the plate. Huge out there!

[joepepsi]

Rivera is clearly better than Kendall

[Gobias Industries]

I might be considered a Yost apologist, but this pitching change is the difference between him and Macha. Yost would go off of the last two at-bats, where Macha goes on splits.

[derflotr]

DiFelice just got the biggest out left to get. Huge.

[Mr QL]

tack on some runs please
