2011-10-13 Brewers (Wolf) at Cardinals (Lohse) - 7:05 PM CDT [Brewers win, 4-2; NLCS Tied 2-2]

[Mr QL]

gotta get at least 1 run here

[B2k1121]

Don't let kottaras hit against the lefty, HAVE to get a run here.

[Schlitz001]

Is LaRussa bringing in a lefty, because there is no way RR pulls Kottaras?

[jwill535]

Ron Darling is dumb. He takes off there, Furcal was looking to gun him out and he would have gotten him by 10'.

[WinkelsasVsSoriano]

Need one here, for sure. Do you go with Lucroy here against a lefty, or leave Kottaras in with Wolf pitching so well. I honestly don't know the answer...

[endaround]

Come on lets see old busted down Rhodes tonight!

[HOF4canrake]

So when we need Yuni to hit one in the air, he can't...ugh!

[chadomac]

Hairston is the MVP of the playoffs thus far. I feel sick about a lefty pitcher and Kottares/Wolf up next. Ugh. Please surprise me, please!

[bucksman4]

Totally disagree with Ron Darling. If Weeks ran on that grounder, he would've been a dead duck at home plate. I'm not buying Furcal goes to 1B on that ground ball. It was hit pretty hard and he could've gotten off a nice throw to home.

[Glennron]

Any chance they PH Lucroy?

[fondybrewfan]

You gotta pinch hit here for George. I don't care who it is; Lucroy or McGehee but you gotta play match up here to get another run. I don't care if Wolf does have to go out there

[jjfanec]

Do they walk Kottaras to load them up and have the double play

[dlk9s]

Stick with Kottaras. With the lead and the way Wolf is pitching, I don't mess with what they've got going.

[B2k1121]

Yuni is the last guy I want up in this situation

why?

 

He's been hot but he's usually good for a quick out with guys on.

[sargennm]

Please go ahead and waste one I'd your lefties here TLR. Thanks.

[a3uge]

Nevermind, it's probably better that first is unoccupied.

[Trowekamp]

Why not pinch hit Hart or Lucroy here.. Lucroy can catch Wolfe for 1 inning without Wolf throwing a fit can't he?

 

 

[endaround]

If it was Cerblanskisksi you might pull Kottaras, but Rhodes? Ehh...

[sargennm]

Squeeze?

[Oldcity]

Pinch hit Lucroy here? I think I would. They need at least one here.

[dlk9s]

Do they walk Kottaras to load them up and have the double play

Another good question and I'll give my opinion again. I say no. There's no guarantee you can get the out at home (let alone a DP) and you're just risking a bigger inning for the Brewers.

[jjfanec]

Hairston is the MVP of the playoffs thus far. I feel sick about a lefty pitcher and Kottares/Wolf up next. Ugh. Please surprise me, please!

Braun's OPS of 1.445 in both rounds wants a little love!

[Ennder]

Not a fan of not PH here, I'd PH for Wolf too at this point.

[Oldcity]

Ron giving up the advantage because Wolf needs a personal catcher.

[Schlitz001]

Hard decision, mostly because the Brewers haven't had a good performance from a SP in this series.
