2011-09-24 Marlins (Sanabia) at Brewers (Greinke) - [Brewers win, 6-4]

[ninja33]

I'm kind of surprised the Giants mailed it in when technically they are still in it.

how have they mailed it in? just because they're losing to a better team?

They could have started Tim Lincecum on 3 days rest but instead they started Eric Surkamp

The guy who was 2-0 with an ERA under 3 since he got called up from a successful minor league season that had 165 Ks and 44 walks? Surkamp is a good prospect and part of the Giants future. He's pitched well for them in the past few weeks, which is when the Giants have played some of their best baseball to get back into the race

Yes, that guy. Who has pitched against the Astros, Padres twice, and Rockies in his career.

 

They could have gone

Lincecum Sat (3 days rest)

Vogelsong Sun (3)

Bumgarner Mon (3)

Cain Tues (3)

Lincecum Wed (3)

 

And gotten 2 more Lincecum starts instead of 1

[topper09er]

I think its tougher to manage when your players suck

[Schlitz001]

I don't think Lincecum has ever pitched on less than full rest, even during the playoff run last year. Maybe he won't or can't pitch on short rest.

[pebadger]

Heck of a play by Stanton. Double written all overit.

[bensheeps]

Anybody else shocked that RR didn't have Hairston bunt?

[trwi7]

1. Tim Timmons should be slapped for making that call. He didn't swing.

 

2. Tim Timmons' parents should be slapped for naming him Tim Timmons.

[topper09er]

Nice AB

2. Tim Timmons' parents should be slapped for naming him Tim Timmons.

Duany Duany's parents would disagree

Maybe we should let it slide just this one time.

[topper09er]

Hmm I would have McGehee bunt here if I thought he could bunt

[trwi7]

McGehee clobbered that one.

[topper09er]

Braun with his 3rd out on the bases tonight!

[NYChez]

Can McGehee now legally change his name to Rally Killer.

[packfan79]

Can Mcghee take, whoops nevermind...

[Baldkin]

This team sure is something else. I did not think they'd come to play today after clinching last night.

[topper09er]

Brewers bullpen studs (Ax, KRod, Saito, Hawkins, Loe) since acquiring K-Rod:

 

121.1 IP, 9-1, 21 SV, 104 K, 33 BB, 1.09 WHIP, 2.00 ERA

[pebadger]

Home Field Magic Number: 4

[Baldkin]

Ax with save #42 consecutive. Halfway to Gange's record.

[NYChez]

Really nice win - bouncing back after last night's celebration.

[brewmann04]

let keep it up and sweep the fish tomorrow.

[AZBrewCrew]

Just got back from the Dbacks/Giants game (you may see me on the highlights tonight, was in the suite right behind HP wearing the blue Brewers cap). The Giants look like they have already mailed it in for the season. AZ makes me nervous, they def have good momentum right now and are hitting pretty well.

[owbc]

A good scenario would be for both the Brewers and D'backs to win out, with the Diamondbacks mowing down the Phillies in the NLDS.
