Who do we have that has success in the 7th inning? I am fearing that we just postponed our traditional Sunday collapse until today.

[trwi7]

Way to hustle Lee. LOL

[Vgmastr]

There's that Carlos Lee hustle.

[thablingster]

Wow Carlos way to not hustle that one out.

[brewers19]

Really need some insurance runs after this. Can't trust the bullpen.

[bacon06]

If at first you don't succeed, try try again. Thanks for the DP Carlos!

[jjfanec]

Nice work Linebrink! Thats what why we traded for him. With his recent struggles and justified criticism, today he deserves some real props. He came in with two on and no one out and should have gotten out of it with no runs

[brewers19]

Wow, this game has slowed to a crawl.

[bacon06]

I'd rather have JJ bunt with two strikes than hit into another double play.

[Ennder]

The bunt in the first place is questionable but having him bunt with 2 strikes is pretty inexcusable even though he got it down ok. You can't fear the 15-20% chance or so that your player hits into a double play, he's more likely to stroke a single than hit into a double play.

[tyguy20204]

So, Gross takes a 4 pitch walk, Hardy is up 1-0, and Yost instructs him to bunt? Assuming Yost gave the directive.

 

This, coupled with the Mclung usage?

 

What's up with that.

I disagree.. I don't mind giving Braun and Hart (assuming they IW Prince) a shot to get an extra run. As for the 2 strikes. if you can't do you job three straight times you deserver to strikeout.. I am guessing % of strikeouts when swinging is higher than bunting.

[crewcrazy]

Braun coming up big again!

[brewcrewnation]

braun does it again big rbi double.

Yes.. yes.. yes.. Yost has never made a good decision... thanks for the breaking news..

[brewcrewnation]

cory, base hit bases are loaded.

[Jim Goulart]

It's amazing the way the first couple of innings went in just a few minutes that this Oswalt - Sheets game is tying up three hours plus of my Labor Day (in a good way so far, at least).

[Trowekamp]

Hart is really settling into the 5th spot.

[brewcrewnation]

scrubs are winning 2-1http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/mad.gif

You'll hardly find me saying that Yost has never made a good decision. I don't understand why you're so defensive.

So what's up with your avatars? Are you giving all Brewers affiliates like 2 weeks of avatar time?http://static.yuku.com//domainskins/bypass/img/smileys/smile.gif

Bust this game wide open, Billy.

 

Lets make this Aquino time http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif.

[crewcrazy]

Billy with the sac fly...very nice.

[brewcrewnation]

just missed a grand slam for billy. but got a badger insurance run, 7-4

[dlk9s]

Wow. Dodgers just blew a nice opportunity. Kent walks on 4 pitches to lead off 4th, then Gonzo goes to 3-0. End result: Gonzo strikes out looking while Kent gets thrown out stealing.
