2014-09-16 Brewers (Peralta) at Cardinals (Lynn), 7:15 PM CDT [Brewers win, 3-2 (12 innings)]

[pebadger]

Parra quickly becoming a real favorite of mine.

[Bombers]

And as we all know, Parra should be starting every game. Nice stroke

[TooLiveBrew]

C'mon, Clark

[TURBO]

blech!

[superfly]

Was hoping Clark would get a shot there...that sucks.

[jerichoholicninja]

[sarcasm]You've got to respect Clark.[/sarcam]

[pacopete4]

Segura sucks. Might as well have pinch hit Gallardo

[Bombers]

And segura with a weak ground out. Very surprised - BLUE

[trwi7]

Well that was completely expected. Nice job Segura.

[coolcool]

That ended quickly

Here comes a single from Braun - the anti clutch

I know it's popular to bag on Braun and his thumb injury as certainly caused him to be less-than-Braun-like this year, but really? If he were to have gotten a base hit in extra innings, you'd mock him for being "anti-clutch?" Like a guy sucks if he can't dial up a homer on demand?

[TGOTJ]

Jean needed to be given the take sign until the pitcher threw a strike. But, hey, WE'RE AGGRESSIVE.

[endaround]

And with a second chance to hit for Segura Roenicke sits on his hands

[Bombers]

That ended quickly

And they have the top of their order so umm ya. Probably going to end quickly

Yes, that is literally how many posters seem to think. Hence, the word clutch being used way too often around here recently.

[pacopete4]

Why not just keep Jeffress in? Duke sucks too.

[superfly]

Here comes Duke...it's all over boys.

[bucks2281]

Gorzelanny, anybody??

[TGOTJ]

I can't wait until Rob Wooten or Wang Chung loses this game because RRR won't let his relievers pitch more than one inning.

Jeffress was at 18 pitches so likely couldn't make it through the inning

Fair point - poorly worded on my end. Just saying his single would be an inning too late. I don't expect anyone to hit HRs on demand. But a base hit from one of your best players in the most critical spot of the season would have been nice. But as you said a single an extras isn't being "anti clutch" - just poorly worded

And 3 lefties up in a row. Ron would be stupid to let Jeffress pitch, but then again this is Ron we're talking about.

+1000. League average the last I checked is a .700 OPS. Braun, in a down year, is around .800. What a bum. Some would probably say he's been struggling for a month or better. Just an awful hitter.

Ok - thanks for that. I still think a guy throwing 95+ negates a lot of the L/R match-up advantages. And 18 pitches is not a lot. Your mileage may vary.
