2014-07-06 Brewers (Gallardo) at Reds (Latos), 12:10 PM CDT [Brewers lose, 4-2]

[TooLiveBrew]

Logan! Nice to see he found his stroke for at least today. That ball was scalded.

[adambr2]

Awesome job to pop up Ball 4 and the potential tying run, Lyle.

[pacopete4]

Come on Rickie!

[TooLiveBrew]

C'mon Rickie...

[TooLiveBrew]

RICKIE!!!!!!!!!

[DuWayne Steurer]

Awesome job to pop up Ball 4 and the potential tying run, Lyle.

 

Followed up by Schafer banging one off the wall in center......

[AZBrewCrew]

Rickie is fitting this bench role pretty well I think

[adambr2]

I have to admit I had zero expectations of Rickie coming through there.

[TooLiveBrew]

Nice & easy swing, not trying to swing through that ball like Hulk. Nice to see that from Rickie, & not the step-in-the-bucket-&-swing-into-a-corkscrew swing he slips into too often.

[pacopete4]

Come on Rickie!

 

Thank you!

[DuWayne Steurer]

Can't stress how big it is to get that run here in the 8th. Gotta hold them now.

[TooLiveBrew]

He has sure handled it well & done exactly what he said he would, which was that he'd shut up & play.

 

I still love the guy.

[adambr2]

Just Brewers Bullpen vs. Reds Bullpen for the series now.

[adambr2]

Ranking potential bullpen options the rest of the way:

 

1) Smith

2) Duke

3) K-Rod

4) Gorzellany

5) Wooten

6) Maldonado

7) Overbay

8) Kintzler

9) Bianchi

10) Roenicke

11) Wang

huge couple of innings here. We could charge into this homestand and get some nice padding or we can keep giving the three other teams some hope. Let's get a run and get out of here!

[adambr2]

Phillips is being really pesky.

[TooLiveBrew]

Hang in it here, Will. Phillips is a tough matchup as a LHP.

 

EDIT: Crap.

The first time I read that, I thought you said 'pudding', and to be honest, it still actually made sense that way.

[adambr2]

That hurts. Good matchup for Smith on this AB though.

Oh... oh.

 

Oh.

[DuWayne Steurer]

well that's pretty much ballgame.

[adambr2]

Ballgame.

[jason21nl]

What a stupid pitch selection

[phnxcrew]

well it's time for some fireball. I hope smith isn't losing it...
