2012-07-13 Pirates (McDonald) at Brewers (Greinke), 7:10 PM CDT [Brewers win, 10-7]

[Bigblast]

Dam!!!

[nate82]

Can Ransom deliver??

 

I guess he can!

[jjgott]

Rannsssoooomm! He is now tied with Maysonet.

[GormanHarvey]

Is 4 enough??

[milwaukeesportsfan]

See what happens when you swing the bat? Nice work Cody. That was big.

[bensheeps]

Tough when my 14-yr-old son asks before the at bat, "Do you think Ransom can come up with a big hit?" and I just shake my head.

 

Got to go re-read the optimism thread.

[FVBrewerFan]

0-4 and body language said "I have zero confidence" Most surprising HR I can remember in a while.

[adambr2]

Is it a little annoying to anyone else that the entire Brewers bullpen seemed completely indifferent to the fact that Ransom just hit a grand slam to give them a 4 run lead as his HR landed out there?

 

Geez guys, I don't expect champagne parties for it, but this is a pretty big game for you and that was a pretty big moment.

[pebadger]

Love the win, but not so sure about the AL-length games that they've been playing lately. But then, what else do I have to do?

[JohnBriggs12]

Who'd have thunk it. Biggest hit of the year so far belongs to Cody Ransom.

[jjgott]

Welp, can't get em all out. Amirite?

[JohnBriggs12]

Come on Ax, end this.

[pebadger]

I may have jinxed this. (Thinly veiled attempt to appease the jinx gods).

[adambr2]

That's one Aoki should lay out for, nothing to lose at all if he doesn't get it.

[jjfanec]

Love the win, but not so sure about the AL-length games that they've been playing lately. But then, what else do I have to do?

 

Did you speak too soon?

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

To be fair adam...most of the pen has been used so it's a little quiet out there.

[FVBrewerFan]

And the guys left know they'll still have to pitch tonight

[GormanHarvey]

Sombrero for McGehee!

[owbc]

Golden sombrero for McGehee...Brewers win!!!

[afeter]

in a game that veras pitched well

[nate82]

Wow that was a late strike call by the ump. BA called it before the ump even singled it.

[GormanHarvey]

Ranslam has some serious looking forearms

[SenatorShriv]

Not normally big on the "must win games" at this point in the season but I think some momentum coming out of the break is super important. I'm excited for the next 8 games...

[derflotr]

0-4 and body language said "I have zero confidence" Most surprising HR I can remember in a while.

Exactly what I was thinking. After he fouled off meaty 2-1 while barking at himself, I thought it was over. Really quite shocking.

[jjgott]

I liked the Grand Slam swing because it looked so easy. Didn't appear to be trying to overswing there at all. Just put the bat on the ball and see what happens.
