Game Thread #110: Brewers at Astros (54-55 each)
So, the winner of this matchup gets up to .500. Someone pitches against someone else and some of our relievers were used last night. Further, we're sending 8 guys plus a pitcher to bat against Coop's squad.
Hey, at least I created a post:P
Random filler to get the word count up, as I'm too lazy to copy-paste lineups or any other such filth.
Go Brewers Go dammit. Sock some homers. Win one for the gipper.

It’s a rough spot for the team, with Lopez, Hardy, Counsell, and McGehee, 4 players for 3 spots, with each making their case for more play time (though Hardy has certainly been streaky… as he’s proving right now)

Ok, you be Ken Macha:
How long do you let Vargas go? This could be an opportunity to stretch him out a bit.

I thought they didn't really want him to start
Either way, just let him go until his spot in the order comes up again.

He's thrown 23 pitches
If he gets thru the 8th in less than 15 pitches, he goes back out for the save.

I thought baseball was the sport that couldn't play in rain

I bet the Brewers were disappointed the power outage in that one game at Miller Park came in the 8th
For just that reason.

I wonder if he'll get to bat

And if so
Why not just double-switch Hall out for defense?

Especially if you're going to pinch-hit with Gerut
Now they have to use another pitcher. I wonder if Burns will get an inning just to get game action.

Amazing that Erstad is so bad at baseball
He was a punter at Nebraska!

To be fair
He mostly played baseball at Nebraska…

A three run triple would also give him the RBI lead.

Or, for expediency's sake
He could just ground into a DP and start looking ahead to tomorrow.

Wow...
The Astros radio guys loathe Prince. Spent a half-inning bashing him yesterday, and making more sarcastic comments tonight.

As opposed to playing where, exactly?

I don't know.
It was a joke. :-)

Sorry...got pulled away
On that at-bat, where Prince was apparently arguing the strike call, they said something to the effect of, “Well, gee, Prince, that’s because he got you with a swinging strike.”
Last night was a half-inning of them inaccurately rehashing the Dodgers incident and calling him an immature hothead.
