2012-09-20 Brewers (Fiers) at Pirates (Rodriguez), 3:05 PM CDT [Hart returns to lineup; Brewers win, 9-7]

[RightFieldCoder]

Stupid 'Stros. You better suck against us.

[topper09er]

Ramirez creates a run with hustle on the bases, never would have predicted that.

[dlk9s]

I see between June 28 and Aug 9 the Astros went 4-35

In a related statistic, from April 6 through Sept 20, the Astros have gone 48-102.

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

At least from here on out, the Brewers and the Cards have the same number of games against the Astros.

[Spidey]

I just saw that the Nationals will start Chien-Ming Wang against the Brewers on Sunday. Hopefully that'll help.

[topper09er]

I dont think Marte had any idea where that ball was, it just barely missed hitting him

[jason21nl]

ugh!

[SenatorShriv]

That homer really felt like it was only a matter of time with the way Fiers has been pitching. 75 pitches in the third inning.

[B2k1121]

Isn't it obvious Fiers should come out?

[jason21nl]

It's time to get him out.

[topper09er]

The crippling 100 pitch limit. No matter how you are doing you stay in until you reach it and come out once you pass it. RRR and everyone else weighs that much more than anything else

[fondybrewfan]

Fiers seems to have run out of gas the last 3-4 starts

[AZBrewCrew]

RRR with a quick hook today. Good to see.

[SenatorShriv]

Glad to see him pulled now. Hopefully the pen can hold out.

 

I kind of forgot about the conversations regarding shutting him down until they just mentioned it on air. Will be interesting to see what they do with him.

[wisniewski]

Fiers seems to have run out of gas the last 3-4 starts

 

Completely agree. I am a pretty big Fiers fan and I've tried to temper my opinion of him based on reality. I'm not quite sure if it's a confidence issue with him or he's simply wearing down.

So TEHFIERS isn't hurt? Just making sure between peeks at Gameday and much to do at the library.

[GamelToe]

Time to shut Fiers down.

[fondybrewfan]

Come on Kintzler get it together

[GamelToe]

This is going to end poorly. Yikes.

[AZBrewCrew]

Its sad that a day game appears to have the highest attendance in this series.

[hawing]

Its sad that a day game appears to have the highest attendance in this series.

So like 15,500? because I think, sadly, that such a number would be the biggest of the series.

[SenatorShriv]

Was certainly expecting that to be worse. Kintzler did a nice job of not totally falling apart with the pressure on.

[fondybrewfan]

Well that could have been worse

[AZBrewCrew]

Those extra 200 people really help fill out the stadium,relatively speaking.
