2011-07-08 Reds (Leake) at Brewers (Greinke) - [Brewers, Kotsay walkoff winners off F. Cordero, 8-7]

[Oldcity]

This is exactly the part of the order I want up. We've got 'em right where we want 'em.

Uh... ?

[endaround]

Hit well BA?

[Oldcity]

BA got excited for a pop up to center.

[chuckcrim]

Really BA? Get some perspective, that wasn't even close.

[endaround]

Why is Yuni hitting?

[pebadger]

its tough enough to come off the bench and pinch hit let alone come off the bench when you're struggling, not to mention that was a pretty good strike 3 pitch

 

I don't disagree. But Casey looks as lost as he has for most of the season and extemely unsure in his approach. Either you're taking the 2-0 all the way or you're looking to drive something. If he can't decide to drive a fastball right down the middle on 2-0, instead checking his swing on a pretty grooved fastball, that's pretty good evidence you are unsure in your approach.

This team is in desperate need to remove some players

Oh I totally agree, with you. That's why I'm so upset with the way this team is constructed and how players are used.

[Oldcity]

Of course I agree Kottaras should have hit for Yuni, but has Roenicke ever pinch hit for him? I don't remember it happening.

Uh... ?

I was going for reverse psychology. Didn't work, huh?

Hell I'd take Gomez over Yuni

[mastershake76]

dang... would have at least been nice to get this lineup turned over for the 9th

[Oldcity]

Figured it was something like that.

 

Couldn't even move it up one spot to get the top of the order up next inning.

[owbc]

I still like their chances to put a rally together in the 9th. Let Kottaras lead off.

[ramssuperbowl99]

I would say if you lined up each team's 20th best player to 25th best player, we would have the worst bottom 5 in baseball.

These are the guys who are easy to replace, too.

[ramssuperbowl99]

Kottaras is out now, meaning RRR prefers hitting Yuni to Kottaras.

[pebadger]

I think we're on the same page, jason. You have to remember that Casey was in there mostly for his glove. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

We have to get to Coco at least once before his contract is up.

[ilovebeer]

its been a while since Marco has pitched

[pebadger]

I dislike Cordero with the Reds about as much as I've disliked any closer for any team. I think he may even have surpassed John Franco, which is setting the bar pretty high.

[Oldcity]

We have to get to Coco at least once before his contract is up.

Please. I can't stand watching him over-celebrate as though the Brewers somehow wronged him.

[natronek8780]

Only one guy struggled from the pen tonight. Unfortunately that's all it takes most of the time.

 

Come on bats! Beat CoCo. Everyone has done it at least once...

[ilovebeer]

nice job marco, i have turned my shirt and hat inside out. hope it works.

[hawing]

There aren't many ex-Brewers who inspire rage in me, but Franci$co is one of them.

[pebadger]

If Milwaukee and St Louis both fail to make 9th inning comebacks, the Pittsburgh Pirates will lead the NL Central in the loss column at the end of play tonight.
