7/16/07 D'Backs (Owings) @ Brewers (Bush): 7:05 PM CDT

[Dmiles23]

My Micah Owings story:

 

When we were down in Arizona for spring training we ventured down to Tucson to catch a Brewers/D-Backs game. We got there early and were walking around the stadium and came upon a field where the D-Backs were taking batting practice. The group was a bunch of younger players, most of which my dad or I had never heard of. But one guy stood out, #44 Owings. He was absolutely killing the ball. He was hitting ball after ball out of the practice field.

 

We then make our way into the stadium and look at the program and both of our jaws dropped when we saw he was a pitcher. We figured it had to be a mis-print, and asked a D-Back fan, and he assured us he was a pitcher.

Lineup prediction:

Hart RF

Hardy SS

Braun 3rd

Fielder 1st

Estrada C

Jenkins LF

Gywnn CF

Graffy 2nd

Bush P

[MadisonBrewerBlue]

we could see Parra as early as tonight . This is his regular scheduled Milb start tonight for Nashville. If Bush gets in trouble early I would not be shocked to see him. Vargas is pitching tomorrow...we will see Manny within the next two days.

That's a lot of good young talent on both sides, but I like the matchup for the Brewers.

Very nice. Hopefully he'll just be at bat with the bases empty. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

Bad Bush

[giffted1]

Good Start.

[brewcrew00]

Well, that's not the start you're looking for. Shake it off and don't allow anything else.

[DHonks]

nice to have Darron and Gracie as the announcers tonight. They're probably one of my favorite broadcast teams not working for the brewers.

[Ennder]

Bush has historically had problems with the 1st inning so I'm always holding my breath for it.

[PeaveyFury]

Someone hit the reset button on the evening, please.

[DHonks]

interesting to see Jackson in LF. This should also allow Chris Carter to come to the big leagues later this year.

 

Also, is there a 3b with more range than Braun?

[brewcrew00]

Bush has got to get that ball down in the zone. Everything is up tonight, and it's going to come back to bite him in the butt if he doesn't change it.

[LUKE232323]

Feliz homers to tie it at 1-1 in the Cubs/Giants.

[PeaveyFury]

Someone hit the reset button on the evening, please.

 

Thanks Corey, that'll do.

[giffted1]

Listening to the game they just came off a commercial break and Uecker said it was gone for Corey Hart. I thought it was just one of their intros with Uecker calling a home run but then realized it was live. Excellent.

[LUKE232323]

Braun is pretty good.

[thablingster]

I love Ryan Braun, lol.

 

E = HR.

[Ennder]

I love Braun, he is my mancrush.

[brewcrew00]

Braun knew he got that one. Nothin wrong with the kid taking a little peek at it!

[mikevan1818]

I know it's been said, many times...many ways, but Ryan Braun is damn good!

[Mike Felder]

Wow!

 

Seriously, when the time comes, pay this guy whatever he wants. He's a stud.

[lukevan]

I already have a father, but Ryan Braun is my daddy. What a freakin' hitter.
