2012-07-30 Astros (Norris) at Brewers (Estrada), 7:10 PM CDT [Brewers win, 8-7; bullpen bent but didn't break]

[adambr2]

It's great that we're playing for one run, when I think we all damn well know that's not going to be enough.

[adambr2]

I fully expect Lucroy to be retired momentarily on a botched squeeze, missed sign, etc.

[markedman5]

You guys ready for a squeeze?

[markedman5]

I'm hoping Henderson gets the chance to blow it tonight.....at least it would be something new.

[adambr2]

Guess Livian for one more.

 

Funny how we went into this season excited about having two closers. Now at the end of July, with the same two guys still on the team, we have zero closers.

[markedman5]

lol....nice bunt Izzie

[adambr2]

They call that a CC Sabathia non-error.

[theavrock]

I'd like to say I'm comfortable, but...

[markedman5]

then again...they are the Astros.......

[GormanHarvey]

I much prefer 3 run bombs to sac/squeeze bunts

[The stache]

Another bunt incoming. Really?

[jjgott]

Sooo...can this lead be safe please?

[adambr2]

They blow this one in the 9th, and Roenicke is going to start experimenting with some pretty heavy drugs.

[The stache]

Ok, Brauny can sit down.

 

Wait, this is our bullpen. We need more runs.

[Eye Black]

Come on A-Ram, insurance run here would be HUGE.

[igor67]

If the bullpen took a lead to France, who would surrender first?

[The stache]

If the bullpen took a lead to France, who would surrender first?

 

Haha! I just spit up a little coke when I read this. Thanks, that made my evening.

[bork]

Hernandez is out there again to give Henderson a save opportunity.

[markedman5]

Pretty good job by the pen so far......1 1/3 only 2 runs.......

[sdcheezhd]

That's 1 scoreless inning in the last 8 for the bullpen.

[markedman5]

Is that bad?

That's 1 scoreless inning in the last 8 for the bullpen.

Why bring in Loe? We bring up Henderson, so use him!! Ya know, they figured it out with Thornburg after a week: he's not a reliever, so why are we using him as one? Why can't they figure it out with Henderson? He's a closer and there is a save situation right now, why not use him????

[markedman5]

You know Ron...the season is over....Henderson was closing games in Triple A......just because he's a rookie doesn't mean you can't throw him out there....I mean take a chance.....he just might be ok....

[sauveb]

This is getting scary again.

[crossface21]

Nice job Kam.
