Nice look Prince! Haha.

[bucksman4]

brewers19, thanks for the updates on OBP. Maybe it just seems Weeks isn't getting on lately because of the bad swings he's taking at pitches out of the zone.

[jlau20]

This Braun kid is ok.

[brettac1]

There is nothing better than Braun cocking off an opponent.

[Ennder]

Well that makes Weeks getting nailed at 3rd a lot less painful.

 

I love Braun.

[wisconsinfan47]

Barry Zito, meet Ryan Braun.

[Team Canada]

Good grief, Braun vs. a lefty is like an automatic extrabase hit.

[Menotti80]

he'll get beamed next AB

Seeing Mench with high socks gives me flashbacks to Chris Magruder. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/ohwell.gif lol

[thablingster]

I like Corey Hart in an RBI spot, http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/laugh.gif .

[jlau20]

It's the socks.

[wisconsinfan47]

I like the new pants.

 

Barry Zito doesn't like the 1st inning Brewers. I bet he vowed he wouldn't give up a salami in the first inning this time around...

[brewers19]

It's still only the first inning and we've already seen as much offense as the previous two games combined.

[Team Canada]

Seems like this might be a good day

[jlau20]

And the other good news is, the Cubs aren't winning...yet, considering it's the top of the first.

 

But a Crew win and a Cubs loss today would be an excellent cap to an otherwise not so great weekend.

Yeah umm if this offense keeps up they better wear the high socks everyday.

[Vgmastr]

Anyone else notice Prince went without batting gloves for his at bat? I don't ever remember him doing that before.

Scotty's going to send him back to the ship?

[B2k1121]

My prediction is looking good so far (except the baserunning mistake of course)

unfortunately that was good baserunning. Just happens to have been one of the best shortstops of the last decade or so.

 

What's going on here...Vargas getting hitters out rather quickly?

[adambr2]

The FSN gun said 97 for Vargas' last strikeout pitch. Pretty sure that can't be right.

When we acquired him, I remembered seeing him throwing 95 last year, so it wouldn't surprise me.

 

man, Fielder drops a ball, now Hart freezes because of the soft fly

[adambr2]

That's some poor defense that costed us a run there. They may call the Roberts bunt a hit, but Prince should have made the play, Rickie made a heckuva play to get there and made a good throw.

 

Hart completely misjudged that last ball. Not looking very good defensively this inning.

[DHonks]

I think Al must be the official scorer at today's game, since his philosophy is "when in doubt, give the hit." Unfortunately his philosophy overlooks that each hit potentially leads to earned runs, and each hit also affects a pitcher's whip. I hate punishing pitchers for fielder's mistakes.

[1992casey]

On the other hand, there are unearned runs that are absolutely the pitcher's responsibility. We hope it evens out over time, but it often takes a pretty large sample for that to happen.
