2011-08-30 Cardinals (Jackson) at Brewers (Marcum) - 7:10 PM CDT [Brewers lose, 2-1]

[mastershake76]

I want Green to bat for McGehee in the bottom of the 9th.

And I want my kids to quit grinding cracker crumbs into the carpet. I bet neither one of us gets what we want tonight.

[Mr QL]

Taylor Green better get an at bat for either Casey or Yuni in the 9th or I may begin to hemorrhage.

you know he wont

[PrinceFielderx1]

I want Green to bat for McGehee in the bottom of the 9th.

You mean for Yuni right?

He plays SS?

[ilovebeer]

Until they clinch i am going to be nervous.

[Mr QL]

betancourt is terrible

He plays SS?

Hairston does. Although you can always substitute in the event of a tie.

Who worries about defense when you have the opposing team trying to convert a save?

I guess that depends on how you define "plays". I mean, Yuni "plays" SS. Perhaps Taylor Green also "plays" SS.

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

Cmon RR...you gotta try out Narv vs. Lefties out of the pen at some point...we'll need him for the playoffs.

[dlk9s]

Maybe Estrada is in because a) he could use the work and b) if it goes extras, we don't have to burn another pitcher for a couple innings.

Hairston does. Counsell on bench. Options available.

Let's play for extras after we tie it up (knockonwood).

Right now, it's the 9th versus your biggest divisional rival. Play for right now.

 

[TuesdaysWithRillo]

When Saito and Hawkins were fresh, bringning in Estrada was very questionable. I can see trying to give KRod and Axford some rest but going to the worst pitcher in your bullpen in a one run game... simply inexplicable.

[razzzorsharp]

Give him one or two more batters I guess. He isn't getting hit hard and that first one to Molina could have been had by a good number of Shortstops.

 

As far as the bottom half, it would be nice if we saw Fielder, McGahee, and Green with CC taking over in short if it's tied.

[mastershake76]

good thing molina is about as fast as a parked car or I'd be nervous here

 

edit: oh crap. even a parked car could score on a single now.

[razzzorsharp]

I don't think Estrada is much worse than Hawkins and Saito but he needs to be more aggressive against the lesser batters here. Theriot should be his last batter no matter what.

[Bernman23]

Biggest culprits if we lose tonight, in order:

 

1. Luck

2. Prince Fielder

3. Ron Roenicke

4. Yuniesky Betancourt

5. Casey McGehee

[Raw Biz]

Well, that was nerve-racking.

[owbc]

Does anyone else fell like we are about to go on a long losing streak?

You win for most ridiculous comment of the season.

[Mr QL]

phew

 

tie this game up Prince

 

big boy time

[Schlitz001]

Phew!

 

Am I crazy or could this whole mess have been avoided if Yuni had just a little bit of range to get to the Molina hit?

[liveforoctober]

Wow. Are we sure he was out there? ... my stomach dropped.

[razzzorsharp]

Could Hairston not have gotten Theriot easily still at first there?

[a3uge]

Biggest culprits if we lose tonight, in order:

 

1. Luck

2. Prince Fielder

3. Ron Roenicke

4. Yuniesky Betancourt

5. Casey McGehee

I'm sorry, but how is RR a bigger culprit than guys like Lucroy, Braun, Betancourt, Casey that are hit-less tonight?

[Bernman23]

Whew, I thought he had a better chance at getting the out at 1st.

 

If it gets to Betancourt, Roenicke better have Green ready or it's another screw-up for him tonight.

[razzzorsharp]

What did RR do anyway? He gave Estrada some work and didn't PH Green? That's it?
