2010-04-07 Rockies (Cook) at Brewers (Davis), 12:10 PM CDT [Brewers win, 5-4]

[rluzinski]

Is Macha basically being forced to be an NL manager Lemming this year? Give away a third or your outs for an inning because, darn it, the book tells you to! The only real positive I saw of Macha was that he would bring more of an AL style offense. Guess he has gotten it beaten out of him.

[local hero]

I think he's going to try to give this team every opportunity to manu runs until they prove (which I unfortunately believe they will) it's simply not going to happen

[local hero]

doing them favors at the bottom of the l-up

[BrewerAddiction]

how did ian stewart reach base? gamecast told me he grounded out to second. then later he moved to second on a wild pitch?????

[endaround]

You know how you manufacture runs? By not makng outs. Bunting when up 2-0 with a man on second is losing play.

[sheethead]

Kottaras has to do a better job of blocking these pitches, or he will not last up here.

[local hero]

prolly though he'd take a chance at a 2for1 with gomez' speed.

 

stewart walked on 5 pitches.

[ELCABALLO45]

I did not mind Gomez bunting. He is so fast that everytime he gets it down it could be a base hit. If it was someone else it would bug me more.

[local hero]

^ tis y I'm giving macha the bene of the doubt...only reason

Yep, that's still bugging me half an inning later. Once Rickie got to second, let Gomez swing away. Especially up 2-0.

[ELCABALLO45]

Nice work Cook!

 

This would be a nice time for Jimmy to hit his first homer as a brewer.

[topper09er]

down by 1 run why not have R3 1 out with Braun/Fielder due up.

[cnycerveceros]

It feels like this game should be a lot worse than it actually is. It would be nice to see the Brewers win one they 'should have lost.' Rockies are what, 1 for 10 w/RISP?

[topper09er]

They must be used to Decaf coffey not the real deal

[ELCABALLO45]

Another hit for Jimmy!

It looked like he may have done that on his own. I really don't have much problem with him trying to bunt for a hit although I would have preferred him actually swinging.

[local hero]

a 2-1 hit and run with old-man-edmonds, lol?

[ELCABALLO45]

Wow that worked out really well.

 

Look at Jimmy fly around those bases!

[topper09er]

No K/pop-up here, tie it up George

[CheezWizHed]

Where is he missing them? In the dirt? High? Left? Right? It doesn't help the pitcher if they are scared to trust their catcher to block low pitches or ...

[And That]

Diego es en fuego.

 

I heart MeceGeehee.

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

Diego mas fina

[ELCABALLO45]

Tie Game!

 

Give us the lead Escobar

[topper09er]

[local hero]
