2009-05-19 Brewers (Bush) at Astros (Hampton): 7:05 PM CDT [Brewers win, 4-2]

I highly doubt that Prince would've been able to make a good throw home across his body. Only chance would've been Hardy.

[stoutdude04]

I could go without that awful view from behind home plate.

[PrinceEatMeat]

What the heck was that?

[dlk9s]

what the heck are these guys looking at?

 

hampton is serving up junk right down the middle and they are just staring at it...

I've said it before, but Cameron looks at more third strikes than anyone I've ever seen. Hey, I still love him, though.

[PrinceEatMeat]

I don't know what Braun was doing there but I'll still take it, and I'm sure Prince will too.

[stoutdude04]

No reason Fielder should have gotten an rbi there. It should have been an error, just like I dont think Matsui should get credit for a steal home.

[ELCABALLO45]

There ya go JJ!!

[Schlitz001]

BA mentions that the Brewers and Dodgers have the best team ERA in the NL, but they also lead the league in HBP. I wonder if that's more a case of them pitching inside, or the teams they're facing more willing to get a runner on base. Maybe no correlation at all.

[PrinceEatMeat]

I would go more with pitching outside. Although on that last one by Bush, a curveball just got away from him.

[ELCABALLO45]

I laughed at Telly right there. That was funny

[ELCABALLO45]

Oh come on Dave

[crewcrazy]

Well, even pitchers can hit it out in Houston if you leave that pitch there.

 

I've had a bad feeling about this game from the start, but hopefully they can pull it out. Seven in a row just seems so unlikely, I guess.

[ELCABALLO45]

Pinch hit Gamel!!! (I know it won't happen)

[brewcitynick]

ahhh this is getting scary!

[Hate those Rodents]

Not to pick on Macha, who has been great, but this is the second game in a row I felt we could have pinch hit for the pitcher in I believe the sixth because we had a chance to get possible necessary runs. Both games, the pitcher hit and got out and then allowed the first two runners on base. Looks like we might get out of the inning unscathed in consecutive games.

[ELCABALLO45]

Nice job Dave!!!

 

Nice catch Corey!!

 

Wow that was close. Lets get some more runs.

[brewcitynick]

much better.

[thablingster]

Bush really hung some pitches in that inning and got lucky. Hopefully we can tack more runs on as this game is far from over.

[brewcitynick]

man it seems like braun could have killed that pitch right down the middle and he stepped out of the box b4 it even got to the plate??

[Ennder]

I'm not digging McGehee getting the call. I feel of all the options we had, that is the worst one.

I'm gonna disagree and I hope he plays almost every game vs lefties at 2B. Good defense, adequate hitting is better than any other option we have vs LH.

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

I love that Macha made the move to CV. Bush left that last pitch up to Erstad and got away with it. He had a Claudio Vargas-esque night getting out of some jams. The matchups favored CV too. That's one instance where Yost would have left him out there to blow up in the 7th. Hats off to Macha IMO.

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

Mike Cameron in Center is a thing of beauty.

[ELCABALLO45]

Untuck EM!!

 

Hoffman is amazing.

[brewdude15]

untuck those jerseys, boys.

[MillerParkSouth]

another efficient inning for The Hoff! fantastic.
