It likely would've been more than 1 run scored too.

The best part is that Astros even pitched out on the 0-1 pitch expecting the squeeze. RR probably saw that and decided to 'outsmart' the opposing manager and squeeze 2 pitchers later. I wish I could put that in blue.

When the next closest model of car on the market doesn't even touch 6 digits in value, a person with near unlimited funds will still probably consider purchasing the luxurious item. Especially if it's replacing the persons 5th car in his collection that's a project car or has glaring signs of rust creeping in.

I think he siad Upton but not sure. He's good for 2-3 screwups like that a game.

The sad thing about the situation is that Greinke is swinging one of the hottest bats on the team. /notinblue

Maybe about that time for someone on our team to actually swing at a 1st pitch right down the middle.

Fiers is pitching a gem..need some run support.

Two outs, you drag the throw away from home to score the run. You watch to make sure Braun scores and if he doesn't you stop to get him home before the out. It was a full count with 2 outs, they weren't going to come close to getting Braun out at home.

I like your attitude..raise the morale around here a lil bit!

My jaw dropped when I heard him say that... had to logon and make sure I heard right on here.

Any of them just as much as Estrada, but that's not the point. Getting runs right there has much more value than stretching out 1 more inning out of your 6th starter who probably just started taking actual BP a week or so ago on his first start. If you have arms in the pen you need to use them, the 'who do you have confidence in?' line isn't even applicable, they are in our pen for a reason - do you have confidence in Estrada? B/c I have just as much confidence in them as I do in him going into the 6th inning.

This isn't one of our studs Yo/Greinke/Marcum on the mound that you can push some innings out of with confidence. Estrada is an average pitcher at best and to let him hit in one of the few scoring chances of the game is crazy, especially when you are looking at 1 more inning out of him, 2 MAX.

How do you not pinch hit right there? Unfathomable...

Nice K Axeman

Let's go brewers. Weeks with a homerun in his opening at bat, most likely on the third pitch.
