at least we're not crumpling out of the race with the Cubs winning against inferior competition.

 

along the same the same line, I wonder if the schedule makers will be putting a few more Cubs-Brewers matchups in September next year. Preferably near the end of the season?

[adambr2]

Ned, are you freaking kidding me with bunting Counsell with 2 strikes with 1st and 3rd and 1 out?

[Oldcity]

Two times Yost. Two times with 2 strikes...

[dlk9s]

I wonder what the record is for most foul bunt outs in a game.

 

And that 2nd strike was stupidly inside.

[brettac1]

This bunting garbage is ridiculous.

[Ennder]

Everything about that at bat was just dumb.

[owbc]

I really hope the bunt call wasn't on with 2 strikes. Better than a DP though.

[SeriesFinale]

I really hope that ends up being ultimately meaningless

[Rob]

Why was Counsell bunting? isn't this the guy who was able to get a sacrafice fly for the Marlins in game 7 of the World Series?

[endaround]

Can anyone explain why Counsell was batting there? With Mench and Dillon on the bench?

[TerraceReserved]

geez Counsell way to execute. That run is huge.

[Vgmastr]

Yost finally made some bullpen moves that actually worked, so he's got to make up for that by making bad calls with the offense.

[Bernman23]

Did Yost really call for a position player to bunt with 2 strikes?

 

He never ceases to amaze me.

[sweepscc]

Very smart call by Yost. Execution was terrible.

[rluzinski]

Well, Rick Braun says he understands all of Yost's moves, so we'll have to ask him.

[endaround]

Very smart call by Yost. Execution was terrible.

How is taking Counsell over Mench vs LHP a smart call?

 

[Ennder]

Yes he did, twice in the same game no less.

 

 

[dlk9s]

Very smart call by Yost. Execution was terrible.

I agree (except for bunting with 2 strikes). If he gets any sort of decent bunt down, Stocker most likely scores, and fairly easily.

For the second time today.

[MadisonBrewerBlue]

[pitchleague]

[SeriesFinale]

Man oh man I wanted to see Stocker score there

[Jim Goulart]

Beware of Coco!

[Ennder]

Yeah a two run lead sure would feel better right now. Hopefully Coco goes out and gets it done and it's no big deal.
