[Ennder]

Was that bad baserunning or just bad luck on a hit and run, only watching the game through gameday.

[Brian the Automator]

I'm going to change some settings in the chat room to hopefully force a reboot. Wish me luck.

[ttsather]

I can't blame Rickie there. I don't see him getting back to first if he saw it the whole way. His job was to run as fast as possible. Unlucky.

[Brian the Automator]

Come back in, I think I might have it working.

[craigharmann]

So it seems like the best thing to do tonight is to hope the Cards come back to beat the Cubs, so that if the Brewers do win, they're back in 1st place.

[craigharmann]

A 6 pitch inning. Insane. Patience, maybe you guys should try it!

[Ennder]

I'd say a lot of the offensive problems with this team lately can be directly traced to the 19 pitches thrown in 2 innings. We are swinging at way too many 1st and 2nd pitches.

[dpapo]

To add to Brewers lack of patience on offensive,

 

"One of those days where you get lucky," Arroyo said. "A lot of swings, a lot of pop ups, a lot of ground balls. It was probably the easiest start I had all year.

[BrewCityUnit]

Does anyone know if the Cubs game got suspended or are they still waiting out the delay? I just flipped to Fox and they were showing the credits acting like the game was suspended.

7:15 PM restart. Fox had to go to preseason football in some areas and COPS in others.

 

[Ennder]

Cubs game is supposed to resume tonight.

[JET15]

That was sooooo close. YES, Gabe

[brewcrewnation]

Gabe goes yard, what the brewers have a lead

[Nearsighted Views]

I'm sorry but that looked like a bounce that went our way. Could it be....

[dlk9s]

Gabe goes yard, what the brewers have a lead

Liar.

[Ennder]

I've seen this game before, Vargas gives up 3 in the 6th, the bullpen gives up 2 sometime between the 7th and 9th and we score 1 more run on a solo shot to lose 5-4.

[JET15]

What the...? FSN just switched to the Twins game!

[monkeyman343434]

that was fun ... i've always wanted to see the pitcher warm up in between innings at the metrodome

[dlk9s]

I would love it to be that close.

 

[Ennder]

Regardless of what happens with this batter I hope its the last for Vargas. 107 pitches already and having problems throwing strikes. Yep and there is the single. Hey Yost, this is where you use Linebrink btw, this is the key point in the game.

[JET15]

Do I hear boos on Valentin's hit?

[brewers19]

End this inning please.

[dlk9s]

Regardless of what happens with this batter I hope its the last for Vargas. 107 pitches already and having problems throwing strikes.

Through Encarnacion, 59 strikes, 50 balls.

Thats not a great rate, but I was more talking about this inning he was struggling to throw strikes. Please oh please have it be Linebrink he brings in... or Shouse, I guess that works too.

 

Nice job Shouse!
