8/5/07 Phillies (Eaton) @ Brewers (Suppan) - 1:05pm CT

[TheCrew07]

I don't think many 3B make that play, this inning is all about 2 walks and a HBP

[PeaveyFury]

Braun sure picks terrible times to have his defense go to crap.

[endaround]

Another 3 run spot for Cordero

[phatmatt1215]

Well, it's time to win again in VERY DRAMATIC FASHION!!!!!!!

[Trowekamp]

Thank goodness for Wes Helms...

 

As uplifting and season transforming as yesterday's win could be, a loss today would totally negate that..

[Oldcity]

Yeah but Cordero didn't get hit hard once. Two walks, an infield hit and an error. Brutal.

[Ennder]

Think they'll IBB Fielder to lead off the 9th?

[LUKE232323]

5 run lead in one inning given up. That is inexcusable.

 

Are we going to follow our best win of the season with arguably our worst? Lets hope not.

[WV Brew]

Enough with the closer nonsense. If a guy doesn't have it, get him out of there. Cordero threw 40 pitches that inning. Ridiculous. Get someone in who can throw strikes.

[PeaveyFury]

That strikezone sure did change between the 7th and 9th inning.....

[polwonks]

Time to make Linebrink a closer?

[Bernman23]

How many times have the Brewers been come back on this season in the 9th? How many comebacks do we have?

Braun chokes again. Some players like Prince are clutch. Others like Braun aren't. I hope it's only a matter of youth and inexperience.

[Trowekamp]

Yeah but Cordero didn't get hit hard once. Two walks, an infield hit and an error. Brutal.

This is almost worse.. basically three walks in the inning is unacceptable.. I will say this.. the SD trade looks better and better.. I originally thought we were getting a 7th inning reliever.. I didn't realize we were trading for a closer... 3 prospects look cheap now.

[AJAY]

Walking guys with a five-run lead is completely inexcusable.

[BadgerFan]

Matt Wise should not pitch in any game we plan on winning until he gets things back on track. That's what started things off on the downward spiral.

[Ennder]

Wake up Ned, why are you letting Jenkins face a lefty in the 9th.

[Brewcrewin07]

Matt Wise should not pitch in any game we plan on winning until he gets things back on track. That's what started things off on the downward spiral.

I agree, that inning was all on Wise.

 

[rluzinski]

Might as well just say that Villy, Wise and Coco shouldn't be allowed to pitch in any games we plan to win, until they get their act together. Someone has to pitch.

 

And I know it's easier to just blame one person but come on. It's just silly not to give Coco or Braun any credit for the 9th inning meltdown.

[Blazer25]

That strikezone sure did change between the 7th and 9th inning.....

No doubt...They had Rowand K'ed.

 

Matt Wise might be done for the year mentally.

 

 

Hope Geoff bails us out right here....not really sure why he's hitting against a LHP here but whatever

[endaround]

Because he has 13 pitchers and is afraid to do anything to cost a player.

[SlideBernieSlide]

Can Manny pitch in extras? He threw 6 and 1/3 on Weds?

[phatmatt1215]

Why in the world did they let Jenkins bat there. I think they should have put in Hall.

[Brewcrewin07]

What stinks, is this game may come down to Spurling having to get thru some innings. I'd go with Parra myself. You almost have to don't you??

[TheCrew07]

Actually there were 4 runners on base without a hit if you include Wise's error.

[Jim Goulart]

Five without a hit - Howard was HBP...
