7-28-07: Brewers (Parra) @ Cardinals (Thompson), 12:00 PM CT

[Ennder]

Counsell is way up on Eckstein on the grit-o-meter for this game.

[hurricanecrush]

That could have been a lot worse. Let's get some more runs here, this game isn't over yet.

[splitterpfj]

Manny is impressing me today. For one thing, I didn't know he could hit.

[moofnelson]

the old "brush-forward" pitch

[olliegjw]

Are they trying to hit Braun? Gameday shows a pitch behind him, and one right at him.

[LUKE232323]

Man, Cards pen is going to be destroyed. Love it.

[Ennder]

Yeah the gameday rocks for Braun. One behind him, one way outside and in the dirt, two inside his body

[crossface21]

Stall, stall, stall.

[uwisfan]

it almost looked like the one pitch hit him. Then his next several pitches were also way inside.

[hurricanecrush]

It's been a while since Prince has gone yard (at least it feels that way). How about it Prince?

[DirtyFranksBrewCrew]

Yeah, sure he's injured......LaRussa is such a tool

[Ennder]

Its been 53 AB's since his last HR so yeah he is due.

[olliegjw]

Who's the injury delay for? I would assume Thompson, by the looks of those last few pitches.

[Trowekamp]

Apparently Falkenberg will be today's sacrificial lamb..

[moofnelson]

The second pitch to Braun was behind his back. Pitches 3 and 4 caused Braun to jump out of the way. Davey Nelson thought the pitch behind Braun's back was meant to be a brush back pitch.

[brettac1]

Watching Thompson try to hit Braun four times and failing was one of the funniest things I've ever seen.

 

Oh, Tony, you're so old school.

Brush forward?

 

Fielder is struggling.

[Ennder]

Luckily struggling for Fielder is still an .876 OPS for the month. He's not hitting HR's but he's still hitting singles and taking his walks.

[crossface21]

This would be a great time for Jenks to finally hit another HR

[LUKE232323]

Lets go Jenkins!!

[Trowekamp]

Is it possible for two separate cards pitchers to throw 100 pitches in one game..

[uwisfan]

cmon jenks those 2 werent even close

[BucketheadBrigader]

That's how spoiled we become, when that is struggling.

 

 

Come on, Jenks. Stop hacking at everything.

[BucketheadBrigader]

Can Jenkins take his "2 strike" approach all the time? His 0 and 1 strike approach blow.

[Ennder]

Sounds like it was a good hit just at someone, I'll take that over a swinging 3rd strike in the dirt though its the same end result.
