2011-07-10 Reds (Willis) at Brewers (Wolf) - [Brewers win 4-3, Counsell walkoff SF]

[razzzorsharp]

That's cool Yuni, no need for solid contact. Cmon Wilson, be our Braun today.

[Big Ern2440]

Watching Betancourt makes my eyes hurt.

[pebadger]

Wolf not terrible, gets stuck with one run in 1st. Willis terrible, Brewers hve no ability to punish him. Ladies and Gents, you NL Central contenders.

[DocLuna7]

It would have been really nice to add on a few more there. Wishing that Braun was healthy.

[ilovebeer]

dm does us a favor aand get rid of Yuni during the break.

[DuWayne Steurer]

Why?

 

Seriously, why is that guy still on the team?

 

This lineup is awful. After Fielder, there's nothing, until you get to Lucroy. At least if they hit Lucroy 5th, you have a chance for a bigger rally.

[ilovebeer]

well that inning ended badly.

[BrewCrewForever]

Betancourt has the ugliest swing I have ever seen. He just looks so off balance every time.

 

It's a shame we let Willis off the hook there and only scored 1.

[BrewCrewForever]

Ramon Hernandez flat out wears out Brewers pitching. Wish he would go back to the AL.

[ELCABALLO45]

They should just walk Babe Hernandez. Can't get him out.

[ELCABALLO45]

JJ Hardy is leading off for the Orioles today. Ha.

[trwi7]

JJ Hardy is leading off for the Orioles today. Ha.

He's been leading off for a while and doing a damn good job.

I did not even know he was leading off. Oops. Nothing to see here.

[markedman5]

Can't even keep that in front of you Rickie? wow

[owbc]

I haven't seen Hardy play this year, but it seems like a .341 OBP with 0 stolen bases is ok but not great for a leadoff hitter. He should be at #2 or #3 with that career-high .500+ slugging percentage.

[ilovebeer]

we actually got phiilips out

[theavrock]

Can't even keep that in front of you Rickie? wow

He had the business end of a bat head coming out at him. Still should make the play, but that's probably what caused it.

It's a shame we let Willis off the hook there and only scored 1.

He has this weird, long, loopy swing, plus he never, ever, ever, tries to go the opposite way. Watching him try to pull a ball that's off the outside corner with that swing is just painful.

[Bombers]

Did it hit the pole?

[theavrock]

And Kottaras watches strike 3 down the middle of the plate.

 

So glad the Diva needs to have his own personal catcher. I get that Ron needs give Lucroy a day off but against a lefty is probably not the best time and being handcuffed by Wolf is just silly.

[owbc]

It was reported earlier this year that Sveum was trying to teach Betancourt to hit up the middle and to the opposite field. Hopeless cause.

[natronek8780]

No, it was clearly foul unfortunately.

[BrewCrewForever]

Heck of a swing by Wolf, just couldn't keep it fair. At least the umps are looking at it. Figured they would just shake it off.

[theavrock]

Clearly foul. Not sure why we needed replay for that.

[pebadger]

If the Brewers could get JJ but only on the condition that he had to lead off every game the rest of the year, Rickie Weeks would have a new spot in the order.
