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

[pebadger]

The greatest ovation in MP history would have occurred had RR run Braun out there to pitch after pulling Loe.

[markedman5]

lol...just a little inside

[pebadger]

It's good that hit him, or this game would be tied.

[markedman5]

wild pitch to tie it up 2 days in a row?

"You have a one run lead in the ninth with a man at third, and your closing pitcher just hit a batter. What do you do, Ron Roenicke. What do you do???"

[GormanHarvey]

Izzy just saved like 3 people from being dfa'd

[markedman5]

I think the ump just wanted the game over....lol

 

 

Good call...great pick by Hart

[sauveb]

Ho hum, just another routine Brewers win.

[adambr2]

Not sure when Hart actually gained control of that ball.

 

The fact that they won this game doesn't dismiss the completely disgraceful performance once again by this bullpen.

[gypcasino]

Shut up Bill. He was out.

[brewmann04]

Bill admitted he was out but no excuse that it came down to a great play by izturus and hart. Well at least now they can"t blame Kyle .

[thablingster]

Did Izturis raise his trade value enough to be traded before the deadline?

 

Quite the play on both ends. Hart has been absolutely fantastic at first base. I thought Izturis had no shot when he had to dive, but he got it there.

[owbc]

At least the entertainment value of this team remains very high.

[hawing]

Bill admitted he was out but no excuse that it came down to a great play by izturus and hart. Well at least now they can"t blame Kyle .

So you continued to watch the "embarrassment"?

 

We know there should never have been drama in a ninth inning with a four-run lead over the visiting Astros, but at least this one turned out better.

[GormanHarvey]

Hart has been nothing short of spectacular defensively at 1st base. I really hope he stays there for good.

[GormanHarvey]

Fwiw, 1 run Ron said after the game that Henderson was unavailable tonight.

[AZBrewCrew]

Living out of state I rarely get to see RRR's postgame pressers, but caught tonight's since im in state. Looking at his body language I get the feeling he really is getting close to pulling a Denny Green (or Ozzie Guillen if you prefer a baseball reference) during the presser. Am I alone in thinking this?

[brewmann04]

I agree moving Hart to first base has been the brewers best move and looks like Gamel will have to learn another postion for 2013.

[brewmann04]

Yes it was nice to see the pen get the final 3 outs but it took a beautiful play by Cesar and Cory.
