Brewers @ Pirates Thread

[Darkstone42]

Hopefully, my bad luck ends with this thread, but I'm kind of setting myself up for failure here.

In any case, I just wanted to comment that I don't think any of those three runs score in the 5th with Marte in left instead of Tabata.

 

[Darkstone42]

Looks like Aoki lost it in the lights or something. Pie with an RBI double. I'll take it. Let's chip away.

 

[Darkstone42]

Now Tabata needs to make up for not being Marte earlier.

 

[Darkstone42]

Not quite enough on it to bring home the run, but we're still in business.

 

[Darkstone42]

That was much better than chipping.

 

[Darkstone42]

Second and third after that Toro double. Come on, Martin...

 

[Darkstone42]

Darn.

Solid inning, anyway. We actually got to Lohse.

 

[thehobocop]

Very unlucky to not have this game tied. Either way, nice response there by the Bucs. Now getting to a pretty weak Brewers pen.

 

[thehobocop]

Well Lohse is batting so I guess he's still on the mound.

Locke just sucks now, we cant even count on him for 5 innings

Honestly, I put at least two of the last three runs on Tabata more than on Locke. And the pitch he made to Ramirez was a good one, way in off the plate.

 

[Darkstone42]

Tie ball game! And Lohse is gone and we're into the bullpen. Lohse's body language was pretty bad the last two innings.

 

[Darkstone42]

We would have been better off letting Gomez hit there...

 

[Darkstone42]

Pedro!

 

[thehobocop]

Pedro looks like he's heating up. This could be a VERY good thing.

 

[Darkstone42]

Pitching: Optional.

I amend:

Pitching: Unadvised.

 

[Darkstone42]

Nice defensive play. Silly offensive decision by the Brewers, though.

so..............

why would Hurdle leave the righty in to face 2 LH's in the eight were the eventual winning run was scored, then bring in a lefty to face 2 RH's in the ninth??

He's not big on the left/right thing. It's bitten the Pirates multiple times.
