2011-06-13 Brewers (Wolf) at Cubs (Dempster) - [Brewers lose, 1-0]

[young guns]

Post game explanation by Ron "The squeeze play was hot, 3 for its last 3, so I had to play it."

[ilovebeer]

The good news is we all ready got Dempters pitch count to 86 after 5 innings.

Congrat Chicken, how big is little Noah James.

I'm taking the over vs. Yuni's .OPS.

Good thing we got Kotsay in there. His numbers are looking great against Dempster tonight.

[brwrsfan]

I'm so glad Kotsay is playing. 2 K's. That last pitch was over his head. Dempster is having a hard time throwing strikes, yet we just keep chasing balls for strike 3.

 

And then Braun with a first pitch out. So much for working the pitch count.

 

Is it just me or does this feel like a game we're going to find a way to lose 2-1 or 1-0?

How about weight in ounces vs. Nieves' batting average? I'll take the over against Nieves' batting average.

The part of that play that stood out to Bill: The Cubs taking a while in the run-down.

Eucker actually did the same thing. He went on a huge tangent about the rundown and barely talked about the safety squeeze. Apparently the cubs rundown execution was really poor and it shocked Eucker apparently Bill too

Count me in on the over as well. That baby would only have to be about 8.5-9 pounds. Thats certainly possible. Nieves can easily drop another few points this game too.

I have gone on record with my love for RR but that squeeze was just dumb. 3-1 count with the infield in; there were a ton of outcomes that could have happened with far less risk than the squeeze

[thablingster]

Nieves dropping a few points would assume Wolf is still pitching well, so at least there would be that. I'm taking the over as well. Win one for Noah!

[trwi7]

What? LOL at not calling that a strike.

Uecker

And here it comes.

 

Guy takes an 0-2 pitch right down the middle. Not called. And then he singles because our RF is playing super deep against a right handed hitter with the wind blowing in. And now Ramirez is up. With a 2-0 count.

 

Que up the sinking feeling.....

[Oldcity]

If that somehow leads to a run it would be fitting for the way this game has gone.

[stalton]

If ball 1 was outside then how was ball 2 inside?

8 lbs 7 oz. or 3 oz larger than the Cubs CF tonight.

[brwrsfan]

Well at least we got out of it. Doesn't change the fact that he missed a pitch right down the middle for strike three. Glad I was wrong.

 

I think thats about the 3-4th ball the Cubs have hit that are likely gone if the wind isn't blowing straight in.

[Fear The Chorizo]

I got a good feeling about the top of the 7th

[ilovebeer]

So far Randy has pitched well.

[brwrsfan]

I hope you're right.

 

Anyone know what the at bat total is now since Casey's last extra base hit? It's gotta be approaching 100.

[ilovebeer]

Noah's a big baby.

[bucksman4]

Dempster just flat out owns us.

[brwrsfan]

We've been in hitters counts all night long. Lots of guys at 3-1 and 2-0 and we've hit very, very few balls hard. Very frustrating. We've also struck out numerous times on pitches way out of the strike zone.

 

This is the part of this team that scares me. When we can't hit HR's, we just really struggle to score any runs. Or even mount anything of an offensive threat for that matter.

[endaround]

Hey Betancourt swung at the first pitch!

[ilovebeer]

He has 108 pitches i would guess he is done, at least I hope he is done.
