2011-07-27 Cubs (Zambrano) at Brewers (Greinke) - [Brewers win 2-0]

i will do a cartwheel (or at least attempt one) if i find out that weeks is only out 6 weeks.

[jason21nl]

seriously, how many outs are we going to make this year on plays just like that?

[PrinceEatMeat]

More crap baserunning decisions by the Brewers. I guess I can understand the contact play with Greinke on deck, but with McGehee running?

With the infield in why go on contact?

[PrinceEatMeat]

Melvin better get Barmes AND Carroll now.

[thablingster]

There any other middle IF's out there that are around 35 that Roenicke has a passing acquaintance with? There's your 2B.

I hear David Eckstein isn't officially retired...

[GoudaBrew]

The first replay I saw I yelled in pain. Thought it was broken, but it's hard to break an ankle. Probably a really bad sprain. Ugh

[MoreTrife]

i'm already mad at melvin and nothing has happened yet. if green doesn't come up, you'd think he's on the list, which is absolutely terrible.

 

if someone has brewers feed please update us.

[ramssuperbowl99]

Nice pickit by Casey.

I'm not religious, but I really want to start praying for Weeks right now. If that X-Ray comes back alright, I might do a backflip.

[theavrock]

Exactly. If Green isn't called up he has to be on that list.

 

The guy has a +.900 OPS and can play 2nd and 3rd.

Unless of course Weeks isn't seriously hurt.

[fondybrewfan]

No kidding. If Weeks does go on the DL and they still don't bring up Green he has to be on PTBNL list. He is the most logical guy to come up. Farris does nothing for me; you can't bring up a no hit 2nd basemen when you already have too many holes in the lineup.

 

I am assuming Green plays a passable 2nd?

Exactly. It makes zero sense. Just like how many times they have bunted in the 1st inning.

[endaround]

I just shivered when I thought of Gamel at 3B and McGehee at 2B....

[pitchleague]

any possibility that Rickie's injury could be Achilles-related? That would be terrible if so. (not that an ankle injury of any kind is all nice and fine.)

He's played more 3rd than 2nd, but he has played enough in the minors.

[jason21nl]

hey! the big man gets dirty

[owbc]

The look on Mark A's face says it all.

[brettac1]

"A lot of ground" for Prince: a step and a half, followed by a belly flop.

[BrewerTerp]

interesting. that was my first reaction to the injury. we would be hoping for a 2012 return if that was the case.

[jason21nl]

Plush down the line..tack on some more boys

[ilovebeer]

nice double Morgan.

[jason21nl]

Counsell busting out right here...book it

[PrinceEatMeat]

The Weeks injury is already killing us.

[owbc]

Good time for Counsell to come through.

[Yeti73]

Counsell is perfect for the Brewers 2011 Five Hole.
