Rockies 7, Brewers 5 (11 innings)

by Kyle Lobner on Sep 29, 2009 11:19 PM CDT in WPA Game Recaps

W: Matt Belisle (3-1)
L: David Weathers (4-6)

HR:Jason Kendall (2) Chris Iannetta (16)

MVP: Jason Kendall (+.310)
LVP: David Weathers (-.357)

The Brewers managed some late inning heroics to extend tonight's game, but couldn't quite finish the job.

A 5-2 game suddenly got interesting with one out in the ninth, when Mike Cameron drew a walk, J.J. Hardy singled and Jason Kendall (of all people) tied the game with a three run shot. Claudio Vargas was able to shut the Rockies down in the ninth and send the game to extra innings. He also pitched a scoreless tenth.

In the eleventh, though, David Weathers retired one batter before allowing Chris Iannetta to hit a walk-off two run shot.

I honestly didn't pay a whole lot of attention to tonight's game before the eighth inning or so, but here are the things that jumped out at me:

Chris Narveson looked pretty good until crashing in the sixth. He finished the night with three earned runs allowed on five hits in five innings, and was in line for the loss until Kendall's home run took him off the hook. He also picked up his first major league hit
Ryan Braun had two hits in the game to reach 194 on the season. He now needs six more in the Brewers' five remaining games to reach 200.

Anything relevant I missed? Let me know in the comments.

I say give Narveson a shot at the rotation next year.

How many games have our other starters done worse than 5 IP / 3 ER?

How...

did Narveson pick up the loss if he was gone in the sixth inning of an extra inning game?

He finished the night with three earned runs allowed on five hits in five innings, picking up the loss.

I just said something snarky about Mike Riveria’s playing time, but deleted it. Why bother preaching to the choir

Fixed.

An unintentional carryover from the first game recap, which got flushed after Kendall’s home run.

That's all I've got for you today, unless you're interested in some Chris Capuano/Tom Haudricourt Fan Fiction.

You forgot to mention They had a chance to blow the game open early

Bases loaded one out and Cammy up to bat you know what happen.

Everything is just swell :)

McGehee, too

First pitch even. Shades of Corey Hart.

You know me Al.

by TheJay on Sep 30, 2009 7:29 AM CDT up reply actions

But I do not hate McGehee

And didn’t Cammy hit in to not one but two DP’s last night and save me his great ab in the 9th he could have easily been called out on strikes Ump gave him a gift

Everything is just swell :)

Define irony

Didn’t your wish come true both times for Cameron. I thought you hate when he stikes out? A strike out each time would have been a better option :)

by Junked on Sep 30, 2009 12:53 PM CDT up reply actions

I hate it when he fails

Amazing how many of you mopes are willing to carry that humps water. 5 more games and I will never have to suffer watching Cammy play for the Crew again. Life is swell

Everything is just swell :)

At this point you are really just trolling.

You can choose to ignore that he is a good player, but bitching every. single. time. is just so you can piss us all off.

But I have not bitched every single time

Go back over the last two weeks I have not made one Cammy comment. See you guys just see and read what you want to believe. But why would we want to let reality ruin what you think is happening right? I choose to think Cammy sucks a— that is my opinion it is a opinion that goes against most of you sheep but that does not make it wrong. You guys would not know a real troll if he bit you in the a—.(see following the bad language rule)

Not that I do not enjoy pissing all of you off since you are all so damn serious and close minded god forbid anyone have thoughts different from the rest of the BCB herd.

I actually feel bad for all of you Cammyphiles in a couple of days I will be happy and you will all be suffering Cammy Love Withdrawal lol

Everything is just swell :)

WOW

That went off on a strange tangent. WSB has made it clear of his dislike for Cameron. I was just giving some good natured ribbing to him.

WSB don’t be so sure that you are done having to watch him in a Brewer uniform.

by Junked on Sep 30, 2009 6:07 PM CDT up reply actions

I wasn't going to bother responding

But referring to me as a sheep (not physically but metaphorically) is a personal insult. I have worked pretty damn hard to attain a level of baseball knowledge that makes me capable of being a good judge of a player’s value.

This is what got Chris banned? C'mon now.

Having troubles with wrapping my mind around Kirbir listening to T.I.

Managing

In the ninth inning, Tracy had Eric Young Jr pinch run and after a bunch of stops and starts, he finally was picked off. Why even try and have him steal in that situation? I get that you want speed on base to score on a hit into the gap, but even if Young manages to steal second, the Brewers will walk Helton. Seems like a Pyrrhic victory to me.

You know me Al.

by TheJay on Sep 30, 2009 7:28 AM CDT reply actions

You think?

They would have walked Helton? perhaps, but then you still have to deal with Tulowitzki, not a very good alternative.

Total bone head play by EYJ though. Wonder if he gets into another game before the season ends.

by backtocali on Sep 30, 2009 8:15 AM CDT up reply actions

Sure they would have walked Helton

If nothing else, it sets up (again) the double play to get out of the inning and brings up a RHP vs RHB matchup.

You know me Al.

One ticket to Cincinnati please...

Weathers, David.

on the bright side Vargas looked good again

Another option for the pen next year?

Everything is just swell :)

by WSB Chris on Sep 30, 2009 7:47 AM CDT reply actions

At least I fell asleep

Once WEathers was taking his warmup pitches. Figured it was alright, since he seems to always give upa run and we lost. Turns out I was right.

excellent time management on your part

Everything is just swell :)
