    In his blog, TH explains the non-bunt by Gerut in the 9th. From the way TH makes it sound, Macha would have preferred to bunt but didn't feel Gerut could do it. I'm not sure if this is the case as Macha didn't come out and verbally say so word for word, but if so my question is if you don't feel a guy can get down a bunt, why is he up there to begin with? I'd rather see Hart (who's a pretty good bunter even when he's not hitting anything) or even a pitcher (Suppan?) who can get the bunt down in that situation, especially with the slow-footed Rivera batting next. If Macha was simply saying he preferred to go against the book and play for the win instead of the tie at home, that's fine. If that's not the case, I find it a bit unsettling Macha would use a guy he didn't have faith in to do one of the little things to help a team win. That said, the sentiment Gerut wouldn't be able to get down a bunt is probably right as Gerut has a whopping 4 sacrifice hits in his 1749 major league plate apperances, but that again leads to the question of is he the guy to use there? I don't mean to be nitpicky or second guess, I just think the article got me riled up a bit. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

    If I were Macha I would have just written down the word "fail." That day off Thursday is looking better and better. Get the offense some rest and get our guys healthy.

    Braun is out for precautionary reasons with a wrist contusion, most likely from when he was hit earlier in the game.
  4. thablingster
    Braun out of the game now, awesome. As if our offense needed anymore adversity.

    I'm always happy to lead the Cubs, no matter the situation. Injuries happen. Matt Capps just took a liner right off the arm and was immediately removed from the game. Ouch! The Cubs have Kevin Gregg warming in case they tie the game, lol.
  7. thablingster
    Mr. T singing "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" was about as big of a disaster as the Cubs pitching in this game. Hopefully the Pirates can hold on for the last 3 outs.
  8. thablingster
    Alright, Billy. If you wanted another chance to prove you can hit a righty, here it is. Be patient and go to right field. I still believe in you.
  9. thablingster
    Where's the ump that called Tony Clark's ball fair? We could have used him there. lol
  10. thablingster
    Macha isn't playing around today, apparently. Lets see what Cat has got.
  11. thablingster
    Not a good decision. Yikes. Hate to cut down a guy on base infront of Braun and Fielder.
  12. thablingster
    At least the defense is showing up to back Yo today. Gotta knock on wood that continues, though. The offense is starting to worry me a bit since the loss of Weeks, but I looked up the stats for the past 7 and 14 days and the only real difference is a slight drop in both OBP and SLG. Hopefully we can get a run, it looks like a solo jack will be what wins this game.
  13. thablingster
    Hopefully we'll see Gamel at 3B today, otherwise we may want to hit Yo 7th. Lets hit the reset button and get back on the winning track. I wonder if we'll wear the red hat with the blue alternates and the white pants to somewhat distinguish ourselves from the Cardinals. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/laugh.gif

    I just read that article and had a good chuckle. I'm sure it is not just you, Milton. There are a ton of terrible strike zones in the National League.
  15. thablingster
    So this is what it feels like to come back to earth, huh. Blah. Lets get home, get JJ healthy and get back on the right track. That one stings, badly.
  16. thablingster
    How did Gardenhire not get thrown out there? This is ridiculousness. Macha needs to be more upset than that. If this were Nedly, it would be time for a 360 spin.
  17. thablingster
    Nice job with the Cambomb, Mike. Welcome to the 250/250 club.
  18. thablingster
    Okay, Bush has the old Bush first inning homer out of the way. Time to settle down for 7 innings. haha.
  19. thablingster
    Not a great start there. Hopefully Bush can keep the Twins red-hot bats quiet.
  20. thablingster
    Lineup courtesy of the JS Blog: SS Craig Counsell 2B Casey McGehee LF Ryan Braun 1B Prince Fielder CF Mike Cameron RF Corey Hart DH Mat Gamel C Mike Rivera 3B Bill Hall I guess Hall hitting 9th shows how little faith we have in him to hit RHP right now. Hopefully Bush can put together a strong outing and we can get some runs off of Baker. It would be nice to not be swept and embarrassed on national TV.

    That video was amusing if for no other reason the pop up video quality to it with all of the text bubbles. That actually isn't a terrible song, either. Thanks for posting the link. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

    Gotta love the "Let's go Brewers" chants. Lets have a good outing here, BLooper.
  23. thablingster
    If Gamel keeps hitting how he is, they can't deny him more starting opportunities, can they?
  24. thablingster
    Hardy out with a back strain. Awesome. Hopefully it is only a couple day thing instead of something that lingers.
  25. thablingster
    McGehee was also a guy who had a huge spring, FWIW. Duffy showed some nice defense and patience at the plate. If he is able to get some consistent at-bats in the minors he may not be a bad guy to have around just in case, provided he can't/doesn't elect for free agency.
