Cameron doubles Prince home. Fielder was running like it was last call at Golden Corral.

Like this lineup today. pick-off moves not so much

GreatBagwellsBeard · « **Reply #3 on:** April 26, 2009, 01:39:29 pm »

Ortiz has the splitter working well today.

Got out of a runners-on-the-corners jam by striking out Kendall

Brewers 1, Astros 0

Noe, why doesn't Pence slide head-first?

Ron Brand · « **Reply #5 on:** April 26, 2009, 01:45:25 pm »

Parra. Guido or Guero?

Ron Brand · « **Reply #6 on:** April 26, 2009, 02:00:26 pm »

Puma with the timely "hit" to tie it, 1-1.

Matt · « **Reply #7 on:** April 26, 2009, 02:00:27 pm »

That was a nice AB by Pence!!! earlier. Too bad he doesn't do that every AB.

Ron Brand · « **Reply #8 on:** April 26, 2009, 02:02:07 pm »

World's longest single just under the yellow line makes it 2-1 Good Guys.

Matt · « **Reply #9 on:** April 26, 2009, 02:02:23 pm »

Carlos was watching that one too much.

Actually, he wasn't watching that bad. He just forgot to unchock the wheels of that bass boat he's draggin' around.

Ortiz is really laboring here. Can't tell if he's trying to be too fine with his pitches but he's all around the plate.

MRaup · « **Reply #14 on:** April 26, 2009, 02:17:56 pm »

Lee wouldve been out by 20 feet if he'dve tried for 2nd. Even if he was doing the Carlos version of hustling.

Ron Brand · « **Reply #15 on:** April 26, 2009, 02:18:32 pm »

Shit. Ortiz shakes off Pudge and can't locate a fastball that gets slapped into left for an RBI single. 2-2 now, runners on the corners, 2 out.

Yes. It was a rocket that bounced perfectly into The Peen's hand in left-center.

Ron Brand · « **Reply #17 on:** April 26, 2009, 02:28:55 pm »

Pudge with a nice shot above the line in LF and the Astros are up 3-2 in the bottom of the 4th.

Ron Brand · « **Reply #18 on:** April 26, 2009, 03:10:56 pm »

Sampson in to relive WW with a runner on 2B, 2 out in the top of the 6th, 3-2 Astros.

Ron Brand · « **Reply #19 on:** April 26, 2009, 03:12:30 pm »

Groundout 6-3. Bottom of the 6th, still 3-2 Good Guys.

OregonStrosFan · « **Reply #20 on:** April 26, 2009, 03:20:08 pm »

Smith put some good wood on that one (again), but can't seem to get one to fall...

End of 6, still 3-2 Astros. Red Ass coming in for the 7th.

Ron Brand · « **Reply #25 on:** April 26, 2009, 03:28:11 pm »

Brocail high with two FB, then wide, then low and away and Weeks is on to lead off.

Ron Brand · « **Reply #26 on:** April 26, 2009, 03:29:20 pm »

Pudge goes to the mound but so does Robinson; maybe they both saw something?

Ron Brand · « **Reply #27 on:** April 26, 2009, 03:30:32 pm »

And Counsell cracks one past Puma for a single. 1st and 2b, none out, The Peen up.

Brocail battles back from 2-0 and gets The Peen to foul out to Berkman. 1 out, Fielder up with two on.

MRaup · « **Reply #33 on:** April 26, 2009, 03:35:28 pm »

Buckle up, kids.

Ron Brand · « **Reply #34 on:** April 26, 2009, 03:35:45 pm »

Yeek. High and not so cheesy and Fielder misses. Don't do that again.

Ron Brand · « **Reply #35 on:** April 26, 2009, 03:37:10 pm »

Beautiful curve ball, first one from Brocail and he blows Fielder away. Fantastic!

Cameron walks and the bases are full with two outs and Nelson is up.

Surprising that Hart is so far behind two 88 mph fastballs. And the slider away gets the K.
