2009-07-08 Cardinals (Wellemeyer) at Milwaukee (Suppan) : 7:05 PM CT [Brewers win, 5-4]

Jason Motte throws some serious gas, but it's straight as a whistle. Hopefully Braun doesn't get homer happy and just tries to find a gap or something here. Very good at-bat by Hardy to get Braun up to the plate, though.

[DocLuna7]

Is Motte asking himself how classy he and his team are?

[jjfanec]

Another chance with the bases loaded. Lets hope Fielder gets it done here. Prince has had some huge hits this year so lets hope he continues

[dlk9s]

I know this is completely lame to notice, but for some reason I like how Counsell was getting a nice secondary lead when Braun was up to give himself a better chance to score and then getting back to second quickly when the ball wasn't put in play.

Prince vs. lefties: .323/.406/.677

Prince w/ bases loaded: .545/.467/1.000

 

That's 6-11 with 20 RBI http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

Lets go, Dennys. Serve up a Grand Slam breakfast!

[brewdude15]

YESSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[GB12]

YES! haha infield hit for Prince to take the lead.

[crewcrazy]

NOT IN TIME! Look at the wheels on Prince! http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/laugh.gif

[dlk9s]

Eat that shift.

[brewdude15]

Lets go, Dennys. Serve up a Grand Slam breakfast!

Ha! That is beautiful, my friend!

[GB12]

Lets go, Dennys. Serve up a Grand Slam breakfast!

 

I see I wasn't the only one thinking about that. That would be so awesome. Even if it's not against the Brewers I hope he gives up a grand slam just so I can say that.

Trevor Time. Let's just hope that nobody is on base for Pujols. It's been awhile since Trevor's pitched, so here's to hoping he's not rusty out there.

[Mr QL]

Seems like it's been forever since last time we seen Trevor come in for the save.

[dlk9s]

Let's give some major credit to JJ for that walk. He took some very close pitches with two strikes, plus he laid off that low-outside slider after he swung and missed it earlier in the AB.

[dlk9s]

I'm hungry and nervous for this 9th inning.

 

EDIT: Hungry and nervous are two separate things here. I am not hungry for the inning.

[Mr QL]

Crap.

[bucks2281]

Grr. Woulda been nice to have a lefty for the first two hitters.

[Mr QL]

No funny stuff with Pujols now. Just give him his walk.

[hurricanecrush]

At least Trevor has his good stuff tonight... if we lose, they will have to earn it.

[GB12]

That's why Kendall starts everyday

[bucks2281]

Woo. That catch negates 2 weak infield popups.

[Mr QL]

hahaha nice play Kendall

[sargennm]

I would bring in DeFelice here, Hoffman doesn't have it.

 

EDIT: Never been happier to be wrong!

[crewcrazy]

This is way too nerve-wracking for my likes. Molina's been red hot all game long and now a hit puts the Cards ahead. Good to see Hoff get ahead early.
