2012-06-24 Brewers (Fiers) at White Sox (Quintana), 1:10 PM CDT [Brewers lose, 1-0, 10 innings]

[dlk9s]

Phew. Ok, one out to go (and then hopefully just four more).

 

with Kottaras/Ransom/Izturis coming up?

 

not very likely.

 

I'm hoping for a Kottaras walk, a Ransom K on a wild pitch, an Izturis sac bunt, an Aoki HBP, a Gomez sac fly, and a Braun salami (GRAND salami, you sickos).

Hmm. Kottaras is on first on the strikeout to Ransom, so Ransom is out on that strikeout even with the wild pitch. You'll need 2 wild pitches, one for George to advance first.

Drat!

Well, you got your walk. Even though that was a bit of a gift. And technically, Braun's HR is only a garden variety 3 run sausage in the scenario you describe.

[dlk9s]

Cody Ransom...I have no words.

[dlk9s]

At least I'm accurate so far, aside for the forgetting of baseball rules.

[sauveb]

Is it possible for anyone to be worse offensive player than Cody Ransom?

[FullMetalCardigan]

Yes Cody, it's all a conspiracy by the MLB home plate umpires to make you look like a terrible hitter.

[AZBrewCrew]

Congrats to Cody Ransom! Today's Golden Sombrero winner!

[adambr2]

Every called strike on us is infuriating to me because they are all much worse pitches than the 0-2 pitch to Dunn in the 8th. That pitch made me think that the umpire needed to prevent the 3rd out to protect the Queen.

 

(Somebody please get the reference)!

[adambr2]

Taylor Green has had a golden opportunity this year to make a case for more playing time and he just really isn't.

That was Taylor Green with a dead on impersonation of Cody Ransom.

[dlk9s]

I predict Gomez will swing as hard as he possibly can.

Frank Drebin was a better ump than some of what I've seen this year.

Nicely done, and very fast response time!

And props to Taylor Green for his impression of a blind man attempting to hit a baseball.

[sauveb]

Can't the Brewers management find someone who can teach Carlos Gomez how to swing without an uppercut?

[dlk9s]

I guarantee I would not have done worse than Ransom at the plate today.

[adambr2]

We can "count on it" that the game will end at some point? Talk about going out on a limb, Craig.

[nate82]

Gomez just had a better ab than Green. Not sure if I should be laughing or calling for Green to be DFA'D.

God couldn't teach Gomez how to properly swing a bat.

[AZBrewCrew]

Parra is due to blow a game I think

[adambr2]

I think we have all probably tended to have high hopes for Green over the last year that probably aren't ever going to come to fruition. I think he's probably a AAAA/24th/25th man guy.

[chickinbrickin]

Both the Brewers and the Sox have been horrible with the bats today. Both teams continue to fail in key spots. Thanks Beckham.
