Dear Brewers, please remind us how good winning feels. Thanks! http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

[pitchleague]

I won't get to see a portion of this game, so I'm hoping the Brewers can hang some runs up on Cueto before I get home.

 

Of course, with Gallardo going, it'll be a 1-0 final in favor of one team or the other.

[sheethead]

I'm sure this won't be received well, but I wouldn't be opposed to taking a page out of nsbb's book and go with something like Sewers @ Reds for the thread title.

[Marc Newfield of Dreams]

Safe?

[wibadgers23]

Looked like a good call to me. He looked out.

[trwi7]

I said out loud "runner on 3rd, 1 out. I wonder how they won't be able to score the run this time." That was definitely a new one.

[Marc Newfield of Dreams]

Unless he slid over the plate (very possible as I didn't see it well) it's hard to believe a guy sliding feet first is out when tagged that high.

[trwi7]

Got to love Dusty using Phillips to sacrifice bunt a runner over to 3rd in the 1st inning.

[jjkoestler]

Macha brings the infield in?

[sauveb]

A 20 pitch first inning again for Yo. There will be no complete game tonight.

[TheCrew07]

This Rolen AB is Yo in a nutshell, up in the count 0-2, misses badly twice, close once.. full count... foul off a couple of pitchers and all of a sudden the pitch count for the inning is blown.

[pebadger]

That liner probably saved at least 10 pitches.

[TheCrew07]

that DP was a nice break.

[sauveb]

Runner on 3rd, one out for the second inning in a row, and Gerut takes a pitch right down the middle for strike 3. Ugh.

[GormanHarvey]

Wow gerut. I can't wait for gomez to return

[trwi7]

Runner on 3rd with one out in the 1st inning. No runs.

 

Runners on 2nd and 3rd with one out in the 2nd inning. No runs.

[theavrock]

Um where did ball 3 miss?

[sauveb]

At some point Zaun needs to start setting up in the strike zone on 0-2 and 1-2 counts. He makes our pitchers nibble way too much.

[jjkoestler]

Nice play by Rickie.

[jjkoestler]

Cueto has nasty stuff. Hits all of his locations. Think the Reds would take Suppan for him and Chapman?

[hurricanecrush]

A nice 8 pitch inning would be nice for Gallardo.

[TheCrew07]

A note on Chapman he's either been really good or really bad so far in AAA. In his 2 bad starts he's given up 14 ER, in the other 5 starts, 4 ER. He's been easy to follow because every time he starts he's a headline on MiLB.com, just like Strasburg.

[hawing]

The Brewers have a lead. My goodness. If I were at GABP I'd take a photo of the scoreboard just to remind myself what a lead looks like.

[pitchleague]

why send Zaun on that? Weeks has been struggling, for sure, but still. I wouldn't take the chance of sending a slow runner against a good arm, even if "a perfect throw was the only thing that would get him." (yes, nobody said that, but I hear about it all the time.) Well, guys with a good arm make a perfect throw fairly often and Fischer should know this before sending a slow runner.
