2011-7-31 Astros (Myers) at Brewers (Narveson) - [Brewers win, 5-4]

[topper09er]

That swing looked like a Betancourt mirror image, flailing on an outside pitch and finishing with one hand on the bat

The record for a position player is 0-46 by Bill Bergen in 1906. The all-time record is 0-88 by pitcher Bob Buhl. Counsell already holds Brewers record (Davis was 0-42).

No he doesn't actually. They found out that Davis was hitless in his last 7 ab's of '03. So it was actually 0 for 49 and not 42.

1906!!!! Not too many records in baseball that are 105 years old. At this point he may as well try to try it.

[YoGasKpose]

Well, Hart's single at least made it possible for Plush to come in and hit ninth.

Well the article I was reading mentioned 0-42 and Haudricourt tweeted it earlier also. Haven't checked since then.

Philly has come back to tie Pittsburgh at 5 going to the 9th.

McCalvy tweeted the correction earlier.

How is Bougaweiurelaueial not running? Best runner + only MLB hitter up?

[pebadger]

Shouldn't Counsell's streak be getting the same sort of coverage that a guy going after DiMaggio's streak would garner? I smell East Coast bias.

For the Packers fans here who have had Brewers tunnel vision this afternoon, the Packers re-signed James Jones to a 3-year deal.

[YoGasKpose]

Wow. It looked like Lee just missed that one. I thought he hit it much better at first.

[topper09er]

Ill pretend that throw didnt happen

According to baseballreference, Davis also had an 0-46 streak from 06 until 10. I wouldn't count that though since he played for the DBacks in between stints.

[razzzorsharp]

K-Rod is a little off it seems.

[topper09er]

Should bring in Ax to face the rookie

[dlk9s]

I think it was just a case of trying to make something out of nothing. It was a low outside pitch that made it hard for Lucroy to catch and throw cleanly. I think the runner would have beaten it, anyway. Lucroy was just rushing it on off chance that somehow he'd have a chance to throw him out.

[topper09er]

Now some texas leaguer takes the lead, you need to attempt a throw there

[razzzorsharp]

Gah, that really sucks. What a poor throw there.

[markedman5]

brutal

[Raw Biz]

I could tell on the previous fastball that he was overthrowing.

[PrinceEatMeat]

Crap, this is why K-Rod needs to learn to hold runners.

[pebadger]

K-Rod wants the win.

[umphrey]

KRod I thought you would be money there since it really felt like a bottom of the 9th save

[endaround]

2nd blown save for KRod as a Brewer.

[YoGasKpose]

Crap, this is why K-Rod needs to learn to hold runners.

For sure. Really high leg kicks on both attempts. Lucroy never had a chance.
