2011-08-02 Cardinals (Garcia) at Brewers (Marcum) [Brewers lose, 8-7, 11 innings]

[Rhett16]

I am starting to like Yuni, not just because he is hitting well, but because I look at Counsell and realize how much worse it could be.

[MadisonBrewerBlue]

my 80 yr old dad just called yuni a rock star.

[igor67]

Yuni still has a long way to go, up until that bomb his Hot month still didn't involve him hitting even .300 and he had only hit 2 HRs. Don't let not completely sucking for a month, fool you just because it comes of the heels of completely terrible.

 

Still enjoy the moment!

[DuWayne Steurer]

Then there's Wilson with a professional at bat...

I'm not one to care much about strikeouts and such, but Wilson sure whiffs a lot for a guy who carries a lot average, and a low SLG%.

[owbc]

That was a very classy hissy fit by Garcia.

[endaround]

Really hope they realize the heat is killing the pitchers and that Marcum might not be good for 100 pitches

He looked amazingly overmatched.By Jaime Garcia.

...Jaime Garcia.

Should've kept Carroll. I think many of us were saying that all along, but Wilson must be a bit grittier.

 

Then we could've had Hairston and Carroll in the lineup against tough lefties.

[Mr QL]

I can see La Russa crying about opening and closing the roof right now

So one of the best pitchers in league?

+1, is this the Brewers Stadium Operations FU to the Cards?

[natronek8780]

Feels like the last inning for Shaun. Pinch hit for him to start the bottom of 6th, and then Saito, K-Rod, Axford to the finish.

If only grit were a measurable statistic that Ron could point to during his post game press conference.

[ilovebeer]

Yuni's fist pump on his homerun was not very classy.

[Glennron]

I really hope Marcum's leash is shorter than it is longer.

Not a pitcher who should make anyone look overmatched like that

Yea, with Hairston and Lopez on the team, we now have 4 guys who can play 2nd/SS/3rd, plenty redundant.

[natronek8780]

Double switch here with Lopez would be smart.... but not sure there's even anyone up in the pen!

[Mr QL]

Come on now, keep this lead Shaun.

[endaround]

Not a pitcher who should make anyone look overmatched like that

Based on what? His K/9 of 7.45?

Or the fact he's pitched like crap tonight

[endaround]

How many bright red signs do you need to make a pitching change?

[cantball]

Apparently Marcum's just not gassed enough

[Glennron]

Is there anyway to look up how often different teams making pitching changes in the middle of an inning? It seems like RRR never does, but I don't know if it's one of those things that's skewed cause you watch the same team ~150 times a year.

[natronek8780]

How many bright red signs do you need to make a pitching change?

And an easy call double switch. Put Lopez in at 2B in the 9 hole and Saito to 8th. Saito finishes 6th and gets the 7th.
