2011-06-15 Brewers (Narveson) at Cubs (Zambrano) - [Brewers win, 9-5]

[pretendastronaut]

Nice rebound anyway. And we still have the lead at least.

 

It's the little things.

[razzzorsharp]

That was really odd. I think the initial walk plus getting squeezed got to him a little bit. He can go out for the 6th still.

[fondybrewfan]

So what creative way are we going lose this game in the 8th? Please get a couple of these runs back and PH for Narvy

[ilovebeer]

OK every exhale, he got out of it with no more damage.

[bucks2281]

Not to mention robbing Prince of a grand slam on Sunday Night Baseball in 2009. And sliding into first base in 2008, causing Yo to tear his ACL.

[Bombers]

Why isn't Mitre, one of 2 of our long relievers, getting ready? Instead Dillard, one of our 2 ROOGYs is going to come in and pitch multiple innings?

 

Pitcher's spot is due up 2nd. So if someone comes in, it will only be for the 5th inning.

Thanks, I guess I couldn't think straight with all this anger.

HA! Me neither, I had to pull up the game cast to remeber who exactly ended the inning. (Should have known it was yuni)

I can go to Menards and get toilet paper for just 14 bucks. Nice.

[sargennm]

No. 5 starter guys. And he worked his way out of it. Come off the ledge.

No kidding...its almost like there is no way we win this game. It almost has to start to creep into their heads too

[mastershake76]

There is always the very real possibility of a corresponding Zambrano implosion... fingers crossed.

 

edit: oh man, I didn't notice that he's up over 100 pitches already. Not enough time for an implosion. Consarnit.

I don't care if you are a #5 starter, middle reliever or the last guy on the bench. 3 walks in 1 inning is inexcusable IMO.

Dillard would have likely just pitched the 5th and been PH for in the 6th.

 

EDIT: I'm a slow pony.

But everything is more exciting on the ledge.

[brewerjamie15]

I am really, really, really liking all the Brewers gear in the stands a Wrigley. I hate that place.

Is anyone else's (time warner cable) picture exceptionally dark? Seems like only this channel, just for the last couple games....

Small price to pay for not having to use leaves that could be poison ivy.

[Fear The Chorizo]

bottom of the Cub order coming up - if Narveson gets into any trouble in the 6th RR's gotta pull him

[brewerjamie15]

Narvey in there for his bat.

[mastershake76]

Feels like the sword of Damacles is hanging over this game. Just waiting for The Horrible Thing to happen. The only surprise will be what form it chooses tonight.

[ilovebeer]

Is it cubs toilet paper?

[brewerjamie15]

Aren't the sCrubs only allowed X amount of night games per season? When is the last time thay played 3 night games in a row?

[Marc Newfield of Dreams]

I'm doing my best to get to an IPA-induced state of numbness, so I'm adequately prepared if/when they blow it.

[PrinceEatMeat]

Thank you Roenicke for being smart for once and having a short lease on Narveson.

[Raw Biz]

I just looked and Narveson has given up 4 3-run HRs and 2 grand slams this year (all in separate starts). He also gave up a 2-run HR in the 7 run inning against the Reds. With the exception of about 2 games, Narveson has given up all his runs in one innings, mostly from the big HR. So yeah, he actually does deal for 4 innings and then gets lit up.

[Fear The Chorizo]

RR having to start playing matchups with his bullpen with 1 out in the 6th...going to be a long rest of the game for this thread! I'm going to get started writing my post wondering why Mitre faces Pena in the 8th when Braddock's chewing seeds in the pen.

[ilovebeer]

Chris wasn't that bad tonight.
