2013-05-14 Brewers (Lohse) at Pirates (Locke), 6:05 PM CDT [Brewers lose, 4-3, 12 innings]

Step one: check.

 

I am going to predict that every batter for the rest of the season makes an out and I will be right about 68% of the time!

 

Predicting Rickie being out is a higher percentage. I've been a huge fan of his, but this is getting ridiculous

[rluzinski]

You know in this day and age knowing how putrid Weeks does in High Leverage situations, wouldn't a sane decision be to pinch hit for him there? Bianchi then Maldanaldo, then if a scoring opportunity is there Lucroy?....I mean having under a .100 Avg in those moments seems very simple choice to make.

 

I know it was a rhetorical question but the answer is no, that would not be the sane decision. If you think we should expect Weeks to bat .100 in any situation, you are off by a very large amount.

You guys are just spewing the typical "analysis" I can hear from any casual fan at a corner bar. Enjoy agreeing with each other.

I really don't understand using Axford in high leverage situations when he is still so erratic. This stinks.

 

Getting a top 10 pick in next years draft!!!!

Especially given the PH possibilities. It's not like we have Matt Stairs ridin' the pine for just such an occasion. Jeff Bianchi and Alex Gonzalez vs. Rickie? That's like comparing a turd, to a turd on fire.

[SterlingArcher]

come on segura and/or braun, bail us out with a bomb here

[TURBO]

Well, the good news is that Axford has been used, he can't give up the tying or winning run agian tonight.

 

It is truly time to try and address the black hole we have at 2B.

[nate82]

ummmm what? Is my gameday broken or did this just happen?

This is the Pirates. The Brewers will win. That is all.

[AZBrewCrew]

Is it me or has the strike zone gotten really low?

[SterlingArcher]

wha? why the pinch runner for ramirez here with 2 outs? I think I'd rather have ramirez in the game if it goes another inning or two here. Did he hurt himself?

Hey Bianchi got a hit the other day, and rather than reward him with some added ABs he rides the pine thus far.

I don't know but I doubt he hurt himself. Seems like RR has subbed out for him late in games a lot this last week and a half since he's come back from his injury.

[brewcrewdue80]

There we go....makes perfect sense. Pinch runner not for the lead runner but the 2nd on base. Yeah and now we sit with one less Pinch hitter should this game proceed past this inning. What is going on?

[topper09er]

Nice effort Yuni you turd, I guess the throw would have been pretty tough from there

[BuckyBrewer61]

Did Yuni move on that ground ball? I don't care how nice of a 2-week stretch he had...he sucks.

[DocLuna7]

Can someone who's watching on tv relay what happened with Segura on that last force out at second? Why wasn't he able to get the throw off to first?

[AZBrewCrew]

Ball popped out of his glove on the relay to first

[SterlingArcher]

Nice job Figaro. Again. If only you had an ERA over 9, perhaps you could get some more high profile pitching opportunities in the future.

[The stache]

Betancourt, Weeks and Maldanado coming up. Yay!

[vegasbrewcrew1993]

The ball popped out of segura's glove. He was in a hurry to get the ball to 1st because weeks took his sweet @ss getting the ball to 2nd

[SterlingArcher]

Maybe Yuni can have one of those crazy, twirling, one-hand follow through home run swings here

[topper09er]

Can Culbreth serve his suspension on the DL?

[RightFieldCoder]

I had the same thing happen when I was umping little league. It hurt like the dickens and I couldn't talk for the rest of the game. I can't imagine what that is like at 90 mph.
