2011-08-05 Brewers (Gallardo) at Astros (Happ) - [Brewers win, 8-1; Counsell gets a hit]

[Funketown]

I could stomach another pounding of Bret Myers.

I'm guessing his wife enjoys it when he gets knocked around a bit.

[Oldcity]

8 strikes 14 balls heh...

[Oldcity]

Crap.

[owbc]

Well, that sucks. I apologize on behalf of South Florida for the pathetic state of the Marlins.

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

Ugh. Stanton Ks with bases loaded...Cards hang on.

[hawing]

I dozed during the first hour and a half of this game with the radio on. It was so nice because I was still awake enough to hear the scoring.

Cory Provus said the Astros' 25-man roster currently includes 11 rookies.

[razzzorsharp]

It would be nice to finally see Dillard in there tonight. Maybe even for two.

[razzzorsharp]

No need to push Yo here. Sometimes it's nice for pitchers to not go over 100 pitches if you got a well rested arm like they do in Dillard.

[hawing]

At least Houston fans can follow J.B. Shuck in his MLB debut tonight.

[stalton]

great outing by Yo

 

WAY TO GO CRAIGGERS!!!

[jason21nl]

and here we go!

[PrinceEatMeat]

Here we go. Counsell AB.

[owbc]

You can do it Craig!!!

[ReverendBrewmeister]

That's outstanding hitting against a AAA staff for Counsell.

[PrinceEatMeat]

There we go Craig! He did it!

[dlk9s]

Oh, how I wish I could have seen it.

[PrinceEatMeat]

Love the whole team cheering for him in the dugout. Good stuff. Would've hated to see him get the record.

[Mr QL]

Counsell crush! He avoided that record right?

[jason21nl]

that was an awesome reaction by the bench

[FoxyFoxes]

That just felt good I don't care who he was facing.

[hawing]

Make a note of Enerio Del Rosario. Besides being just a cool name to say, he's also now the answer to a Craig Counsell trivia question.

[Hofbraunhaus]

I'm happy for Counsell. While I am probably on the "it's time to get rid of him side" he has always been a favorite of mine. The reaction from the bench was great.

[pebadger]

OK, somebody needds to get plunked in the bottom of the 9th. That's a dangerous pitch.

[owbc]

Congrats Craig. We all know you deserve to be immortalized for your 2 championships and your NLCS MVP, not some stupid hitless record.

[razzzorsharp]

Patient approach by the Brewers here. Save some of these runs.
