not only does de la throw gas, his off speed stuff is wicked. He threw a slider earlier for a ball that appeared to break 2 feet. holy smokes. thank you arizona.

[DHonks]

important at bat here for Russell to stay .400 or above

[DHonks]

wow, Hall took a tough 3rd ball about an inch off the plate, then he came back and took ball 4 which appeared over the plate at the knees

[danzig6767]

2004 all over again this series

 

Just pathetic when we get runners on base

 

Those two at bats i had zero confidence Hall would cross the plate.Blow so many chances,eventually they will get burned.

[crichar3]

Hate to say it, but I agree -- they've looked a bit like last year this afternoon. Can't drive in guys in scoring position.

[scoop53714]

ugh....brady clark is developing a lovely uppercut. Thats just what you need with a runner on third and one out. Unreal. Not only did he pop out but his previous swings looked like he was trying to go onto the street.

[badgerfan.tgf]

Have you ever seen a WORSE clutch hitting team than the Brewers? Seriously, this is unreal. All we need is a freakin' fly ball to the outfield and we score a run. I'm not a big fan of suicide squeezes but why not?

[H0FFY]

To be honest, the anti-sabre-metric of ANTI CLUTCH does exist. Just because someone named Bill or Vroomos did not come up with it is ignored. But it does exist. And it appears to live best in a Brewer uniform.

 

I would actually think it would be a good idea to chart minor leaguers performances in 'clutch' situations. I know that CLUTCH does not exist (these MLB guys really perform in the standard situations - that is how they got to the majors). But I know that ANTI-CLUTCH exists.

[badgerfan.tgf]

Phew...if Turnbow boots/bobbles that ball no one was covering first.

 

Let's get some runs!

[Pack87Man]

Turnbow looked really goofy running over to first base.

[mikevan1818]

goofy or not, thank god

 

lets go overbay 2 bagger, lets go!!!

[bryan]

Overbay loves doubles.

[ja002h]

Please make Jenks bunt.

[batboy37]

Please, please score lyle.

[badgerfan.tgf]

Can Geoff lay down a bunt??? Gotta get Overbay to third with less than two outs.

[badgerfan.tgf]

Here comes the Jenkins patented K/double play/pop-up.

[danzig6767]

Should have bunted with Jenkins,he's sad vs lefties

 

Ugggggggg

[batboy37]

What a pathetic at-bat by Jenkins? Pathetic.

[DHonks]

he should have been bunting there. With Overbay on 2nd, not sure he can score on many singles. We needed him at 3rd and no chance of a GiDP.

[mikevan1818]

I'm gonna puke if we dont score here

[DHonks]

Here's hoping Jenkins and Branyan switch spots in the order tomorrow. Won't happen cause Jenks has a fragile ego, but I can hope

grab your barf bag

[mikevan1818]

*spewing*

[badgerfan.tgf]

Should we just forfeit and save the rest of our bullpen for another day? Because attempting to score is a lost cause.

[RyDogg66]

You guys, this is Glendon - Freakin' - Rusch.

 

Ugh. I can't even get into the chat room to complain because it says it is full.

 

Plus, the jerk off next to me is a Cubs fan and he cheers extra loud so I can here him...what a jerk.
