2011-08-09 Brewers (Marcum) at Cardinals (Jackson) - [Brewers win, 5-3, 10 innings]

[Oldcity]

Use Kottaras. He can hit a homer.

Edit: He actually did! Nice RR

[brettac1]

This is why you need more guys with pop on the bench than your backup catcher.

[bucksman4]

Pretty crappy when you have to rely on George Kottaras for a "home run swing"

[SoCalBrewfan]

Hairston and Dillard are apparently lost in the same Vortex. They won't get into a game again until they trick Roenicke into saying his name backwards.

[a3uge]

Why isn't Craig up here? He's due, isn't he?

[topper09er]

Surprised Kot didnt swing at that based on the previous 2 ABs

[FVBrewerFan]

Mix in a few jumping jacks and you wouldn't have that problem Lynn

[LaprilOne]

Never miss a chance to trash Counsell.

[brettac1]

Lynn looked really impressive.

[bucksman4]

May have been a "grawn" strain, didnt hear you throw out that possibility BA.

[topper09er]

Too bad we cant have a pinch runner on the bench instead of Tim Dillard, or if 1 of our 3 middle infielders on the bench could steal a base.

[FVBrewerFan]

Yea, it's still hard to believe they have so many IFs that all bring almost exactly the same thing to the table.

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

That is a great sign & costume...well done!

[theavrock]

ballsy sign to have in the opposing teams ballpark there with the "Here to check the lighting"

[topper09er]

We failed to run against Laird last Tuesday, please dont do it again. Just go, early in the count

[Mr QL]

poop

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

If Hawk can get through these guys, I think they go Ax against the meat of the order.

[owbc]

I really hate tie games on the road in the 9th inning and later. It is just too nerve wracking when one pitch can lose it.

[topper09er]

Why are you using Wilson if you arent going to run, only so he can score on a double? Guess what RRR, the outfield is playing no doubles depth. So dumb, we are heading to extras and just completely wasted a bench player

[topper09er]

I agree with the Cards and TLR, Hawkins should not be allowed to do that

[natronek8780]

Haha. I'm so glad that Hawkins is still going with his "Quick Pitch." TLR is just trying to find a way to make it illegal. It must fall under the "it's not classy rule."

[topper09er]

It is illegal

[natronek8780]

It is illegal

I don't think it is when there are no runners on base and you can call it your wind-up. Maybe I'm wrong though.

[Mr QL]

just missed it. Get this Delcaso guy out and lets win this thing

[topper09er]

Notice how a smart manager will run here, just he did with Holliday in the 11th a week ago
