Luc blows this game wide open.

[Bernman23]

Yes! Now I guess we can preserve our top relievers for game 2. Use Tim Dillard or Frankie De La Cruz for the final 2 innings of this game.

[thablingster]

You can be more Beast Mode than that, Luc. He almost looked indifferent making that taunt.

[ilovebeer]

Thank you Brewers for granting my wish.

[ilovebeer]

ouch 0-5 to tony plush.

[ilovebeer]

All the runs have been scored after Pittsburgh intentionally walked 2 batters.

[pebadger]

Only 1 worse than Mr Braun, pending the 9th inning PA, so he has decent company.

 

And yet they are up 6.

[razzzorsharp]

Tim Dillard for two? That would be sweet.

[dlk9s]

Braun better wake up for game 2. and that goes for Prince to.

They can be excused for having bad games.

[ilovebeer]

oh oh there goes the shut out.

[razzzorsharp]

Pound that zone some more Dillard. Solo shots won't kill us.

[theavrock]

Glad we are up 6 runs but Tim Dillard is not good. Would be nice if he could get through the last two though.

[PrinceEatMeat]

Tim Dillard further proving why he doesn't need to be on the roster. But I guess if he gets through 2 without giving up more than 2 or 3 runs that would be nice.

[dlk9s]

Since going 0-45, Counsell's line is now .429/.600/.429/1.029.

[razzzorsharp]

Nice work Dillard, another inning would be awesome.

[thablingster]

That'll do, Tim, that'll do.

[ilovebeer]

ok not bad only 1 run scored.

[Bernman23]

Good enough result by Dillard w/ some aid from the umpire. Now Tim can come back out to finish the game tonight.

[theavrock]

Since going 0-45, Counsell's line is now .429/.600/.429/1.029.

CC entering beast mode

[endaround]

Since going 0-45, Counsell's line is now .429/.600/.429/1.029.

So he should be the starting SS right?

[razzzorsharp]

Send Dillard back out for sure.

[ReverendBrewmeister]

Looks like Braun is waking up.

[thablingster]

Well, may as well let Dillard finish it out now. Mmmm, toasty Pirates bullpen.

[ilovebeer]

Braun goes yard!

I sure do love the Pirates.
