[GB12]

No Brewer pitcher has ever had 5 RBI in a game.

Looks like Marcum is included in that group after all. For now at least.

[jason21nl]

There have been some loooong home runs today

[markedman5]

man do we give up alot of homers and the D-backs can hit em...bad combo...at least they were both solo shots

[chickinbrickin]

What's with this team and giving up two out runs like crazy lately.

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

Wily Mo either auditioning for Prince in the derby or the Milwaukee Schlitz.

[pebadger]

Nice play by Prince to get out of that. (Big believer in positive reinforcement).

[jason21nl]

the strike call on Prince was at least 6 inches inside

[topper09er]

Well...since no RBI on McGehee's illadvised late break to the plate, Brewers pitchers with 4 RBI in a game:

 

8/25/2006 Tomo Ohka, 2-2 with an RBI catchers interference

5/2/1998 Jeff Judan, 1-2, 3-R double, RBI groundout

4/12/1970 Game 2, George Lauzerique, 2-4, 3-R HR

7/9/1969 Game 1, Fred Talbot, 2-4, ONLY other Grand Slam in Brewers' pitcher-hitting history (although coming as a Seattle Pilot)

I remember that Okha game, now that you mention it. Always liked that guy. Remember when he ran the Sausage Race.

Has Kotsay always had that walk up music? Is he channeling his inner Frank Catalanotto?

No, and maybe. But if Mark thinks he'll win me over with that 80s anthem, he should think again. You can't copy magical moments.

 

We were at that Ohka game in 2006. It was fun.

I remember Hideo Nomo did too. I wonder if Takashi Saito worked extra hard to get off the DL so he would get his shot in the Sausage Race?

[pebadger]

Because the Brewers are at home and I'm feeling kind of chesty:

 

Washington - Bottom of 10th

Marcos Mateo pitching for Chicago

M Mateo relieved J Russell.

J Werth walked.

L Hernandez hit for H Rodriguez.

L Hernandez sacrificed to first, J Werth to second.

C Marmol relieved M Mateo.

J Werth stole third.

J Werth scored on C Marmol's wild pitch.

1 Runs, 0 Hits, 0 Errors

Just went back and re-watched Marcum's homer during the commercial break...anyone notice Bernie was so excited he needed some Cameron Maybin style arm movement just to stay on the slide? Need the "tater-trot tracker" to time Bernie...that one looked like a record.

[jason21nl]

big DP!

[pebadger]

Rickie, you're at home.

[jason21nl]

more amazing defense from the Brewers...its sick how bad at defense we are.

 

We better not piss this game away

[markedman5]

come on Rickie...............what a silly throw

[topper09er]

Lets hope Rickie doesnt do something like that and embarrass himself and us in the all-star game

[Mr QL]

time to get Marcum out

 

we cant blow another lead

[markedman5]

what happened to the dominant starting staff we were supposed to have this year?

 

Nothing like letting them right back into it.

[dlk9s]

what happened to the dominant starting staff we were supposed to have this year?

It's been dominant most of the season.

[jason21nl]

any way on Counsell!

[theavrock]

And why is Marcum out of the game? 85 pitches and we want to hand it over to our dominant bullpen?

[Tailgat0r76]

And why is Marcum out of the game? 85 pitches and we want to hand it over to our dominant bullpen?

He was pretty terrible last inning... Without that DP ball, that inning could have been much worse.

 

We've got LaTroy, Saito, and Axford tonight. I'm real confident in all three of those right now.
