2011-08-24 Brewers (Marcum) at Pirates (Thompson) - [Brewers lose, 2-0]

[topper09er]

bunt backers, why not here?

I would obviously bunt if I had to have McGehee hitting.

[ninja33]

4 strikes looking. solid at bat casey.

[topper09er]

Not using Morgan for McGehee/Yuni proves that RRR has no understanding of what our players do well/poorly.

Do you really need to ask?

 

Big difference between your #5 hitter bunting with Yuni on deck than your #9 hitter bunting with Hart on deck.

this is a situation where i may even consider bunting. of course RR does not

God the MLB Network sucks. They just had live bonus coverage of a 9-2 game between crap Cleveland and crappier Seattle instead of the Brewers. Thankfully the game ended so now I get to see Yuni hit.

or it proves that morgan has already been used this game.

Hard to PH Morgan twice in the same game

Too bad that is against the rules.

yeah my fault, still Kotsay and Kottaras should be in there over either of our minor league left siders

[markedman5]

the only thing we haven't had lately is a 3 run 9th inning homer to overcome a 2-0 deficit........

[FidoMcCokefiend]

Good thing that Braun stole second and lured the Pirates into walking Fielder so that it would bring up McGehee and Yuni!

Not going to happen since RR somehow has used up his entire infield bench.

[markedman5]

good road trip......enjoy the day off fellas

Epic Fail with RISP Today

[dlk9s]

Uh oh, Pittsburgh is within umpteen games now.

[topper09er]

Its just so depressing to see we will let McGehee and Yuni hit in this situation in the playoffs.

[Tailgat0r76]

BA just put it into perspective. We entered this roadtrip up 6.5 and we're likely heading home 10.0 up. I'll take it

[Mr QL]

Yuni and Casey are still fail

 

ugh

 

RAGE

Whats with the snarky condescension?

Picking up games on any road trip would have been nearly unthinkable a few months ago. So...go Dodgers.

Epic Fail with RISP Today

0-for-10 according to Gameday. A number of them with 0 or 1 out, including some ABs from the better hitters in the lineup. There's the source of the loss.

Can't wait to have Weeks back in the #5 spot and see McGehee and Betancourt bumped down in the order where they belong.

 

[pebadger]

Good new: up by 9.5 games.

 

Bad news: you won't see a schedule like this in the playoffs

 

Cubs

Astros

Cards

Astros

Cards

Pirates

Dodgers

Mets

Pirates

 

It's nice to have a comfortable lead, but it's not like they're 10 up on the Braves or a team that would have a realistic shot at winning a playoff series. The Crew really is in a position right now of just not screwing it up down the stretch and then taking their chance in the postseason. If they're hot in October, they have a good chance. If not, they'll just be the lastest NL Central team to make a quick exit in the NLDS.

[Mike2k33]

Casey and Yuni with the worst back-to-back ABs of the season. Seriously, it will be humiliating if a similar late/close situation arises in the playoffs with those two hitting one after the other.
