2015-04-22 Reds (Cueto) at Brewers (Nelson), 7:10 PM CDT [Brewers lose, 2-1; Another strong outing from Nelson -- 8 IP, 3 H, 1 ER]

[topper09er]

Mark A is talking to Uek about how this team just needs to play .500 the rest of the season and then play well in September and make the playoffs.

[pacopete4]

Love Nelson's fire. Let's get a friggin W boys! Come on!

[brewcrewdue80]

But I'm sure now comes the PH and we'll follow that up in the 9th with KRod's 20min of terror to blow the game. We don't have a game changing PH so let Nelson continue.

They would need to go 88-60 to hit 90 wins..

Realistically, that's the recipe for any MLB team. 81 wins is .500 ball and if you manage to figure out to win 5-6 more games than that, you're in the playoffs. Starting off 2-12 doesn't help this though.

[brewcrewdue80]

OMGosh. Schafer as a pinch hitter...exactly my point. This is why Matt Clark needs to be on the team.

[superfly]

Nelson is just dominating...please rub off on the rest of the staff ASAP.

[pacopete4]

SCHAFFER!!!!!

[superfly]

SCHAFER !!

[topper09er]

If we cannot get him over and get him in here RRR should be fired before the 9th inning starts

You realize that statement is .500 ball til Sept or still 9,10,11 games under .500 only to get hot in Sept. Not get to .500 by Sept. He's fooling himself.

Um yes, I think if you are 10 games under .500 on September 1 your playoff chances would be considered low

[pacopete4]

Not a strike.

[RockCoCougars]

Why do I have the feeling that the bullpen is going to take their turn tonight to contribute to this dumpster fire of a season.... they haven't had a legit chance to blow a game in over a week.

[topper09er]

Strikeout looking there should get you sent to minors directly. RRR should be fired simply for not specifically telling Herrera before the AB that under no circumstance should he strikeout looking

[Bombers]

Old school Braun would deposit this into the LF bleachers. New school Braun might barely get a hit to right but that would get the job done

Except the pitch not being a strike.

[stoutdude04]

Bad call on Elian, but I have no confidence in Braun...sadly.

As Rock says, too close to take. Choke up and put the frickin ball in play

[brewcrewdue80]

my fantasy gamecast is funny. Must be run by a guy who doesn't like braun. They show every strike hitting him in the knee cap. the balls all the way across to the other side.

[AZBrewCrew]

Im shocked Cueto is going this deep in April. 120 pitches so far

[stoutdude04]

So...we are pinch hitting for Lind right?

 

Nevermind...thought for sure we would see a lefty.

[Bombers]

I will say this, Braun still remains a tough out. Seems to always work a decent count. If he could just get his power back

[topper09er]

We should probably try some kind of little league style double steal considering our offense thus far this season

[TooLiveBrew]

Really nice PA from Braun there. Probably had one to drive that he fouled off, but quality AB.

 

C'mon Lind!
