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

[jjfanec]

Absolutely no reason to stick with a starter this far into a playoff game. It worked out but Kottaras and Wolf should both be pinch hit for.

What? Wolf has been great. They have threatened once.

[bucksman4]

How sweet would it be for T Plush to nail these two runs in and rub it in these fans' faces? He'd really have a cocky reaction if he were to get on base...

[WinkelsasVsSoriano]

Should have hit for Wolf there..

I think that only would have made sense if they hit for Kottaras.

[Oldcity]

Roenicke needs to manage for more runs.

[B2k1121]

Nyjer can really make them boo here, just slap it to left

[Mr QL]

come on Plush

 

tickle one up the middle

[dlk9s]

No problem with Wolf bunting there. The odds of him doing anything against Rhodes were extremely low. Might as well see if he can get one down that can score Hairston.

[ELCABALLO45]

Do it Plush. Come on.

[theavrock]

Yea bunt so Morgan can face a lefty. Awesome idea Ron.

[Oldcity]

He can't hit lefties

[jason21nl]

Gomez should b e in

[rluzinski]

Brewers have one of the best bullpens in the league but we leave our 4th best starting pitcher in there so that he can maybe pitch one more inning? And of course, our backup left handed catcher has to bat against a lefty so that he can catch for him?

 

Not happy.

[WinkelsasVsSoriano]

Yikes, now here I definitely would have gone with Gomez... oh well. Come on, Nyjer!

[jjfanec]

I guess I am the only one who wanted Wolf to stay in...I am probably wrong

[endaround]

Do love how Roenicke was still able to 3 lefties in a row to make TLR have an easy job

[jjkoestler]

I just had a Fudgsicle for the first time in years. This just in: they are really good.

One of the greatest days of my life was in 2001 when Pudding Pops returned to my grocer's freezer.

I still look for those, even though I haven't seen one in probably 20 years. I miss them so much.

They are still available at some grocery stores, and the Choc/Van swirl is still amazing.

Who was "Morganna"? That name just popped into my head. Was she that 80's large breasted lady who'd kiss ball players?

[Trowekamp]

Absolutely no reason to stick with a starter this far into a playoff game. It worked out but Kottaras and Wolf should both be pinch hit for.

Plus if they bring in Lucroy and Hart then Rhodes is out and Morgan gets a righty.. for some reason this inning we wanted to keep in 3 straight lefties against a LH and one was the pitcher with an insurance run.. I am in disbelief..

 

 

[pebadger]

Thanks for laying off at least one ball there, Nyger.

[bucksman4]

Now we see why Nyj is a platoon player. Awful vs. LHP.

[Ennder]

This inning is a disaster from a managing standpoint imo, PH for the C, PH for the pitcher, PH for the CF who can't hit lefties. Play to win the game.

[Mr QL]

right down the middle

[brewerjamie15]

That looked really low to me.

[a3uge]

Wolf's been great. I'll take the bunt there for a starter that's been good facing the bottom of the order.

[ELCABALLO45]

No idea what RR is doing that inning.
