Nothing you can do there.

[dlk9s]

Talk about bad luck.

[mtsportsfan]

That was a bummer . Be nice if Elvis wouldn't have gave up on the play ! 

[Brewcrew82]

Yeah. Wiemer CANNOT hit here, CC.

If he hadn't given up, more harm than good was more likely to happen. You can't assume the runner is going to fall down.

Does anyone listen to KISS anymore?

I don't blame him at all. No reason for him to think he had any chance to get the runner and that was a prime situation to throw the ball into foul territory.

Why wouldn't they?

Well, he bobbled it.

[mtsportsfan]

HR would be nice ! But don't need it , although a base hit won't score Santana .

So is the whole "don't use your closer on the road in a tied game" dead?

And why can theirs go out for two but not ours?

[RobertCrawley]

Yes!!!

[BruisedCrew]

Way to go with the pitch Willy. 

[Brewcrew82]

Nice piece of hitting.

I do, but not that tribute band they've been trotting out there the past 20 years.

[mtsportsfan]

Say hey Willy ! Way to go , nice seeing that type of AB from him !

[RobertCrawley]

Wiemer.

[Brewcrew82]

I don't like this at all. Go for the win. With Wiemer, you're effectively sacrificing an out and a chance to move the baserunner.

[HarryDoyle]

I'd be happy if Weimer just put the ball in play.

[Brewcrew82]

Wiemer can go to AAA when Frelick is healthy.

[RobertCrawley]

Wiemer makes an out. Shocking.

But not over there.

[mtsportsfan]

On the flip side , what a crappy AB by Weimer !

[Bulldogboy]

What is Counsell doing? That is ridiculous. Why are you playing for a tie?

[jjfanec]

I rarely think a bunt is the best move but that is the one spot it makes so much sense
