7/2/07 Brewers (Suppan) @ Pirates (Van Benschoten): 6:05 CDT

[TheCrew07]

Walking the pitcher doesn't seem to ever end well for the Crew.

[MadisonBrewerBlue]

the walked pitcher scored a run...i hate that

[SlideBernieSlide]

Man Soup is aggrevating to watch pitch. How can you lose the pitcher from 0-2?

[lumberrule]

No you cant walk the pitcher, but your centerfielder needs to catch that ball, no excuses.

 

The defense has cost Suppan both runs so far.

[craigharmann]

Is Villy ready yet?

[SeriesFinale]

Brutal at bat by Bautista, hopefully we can get a DP here

[lumberrule]

It should be reminded to Jeff Suppan that he's getting paid $10 million a year...his stuff better be good enough that he shouldnt have to nibble as much as he does.

[bthurley19]

Any chance Soup can stop walking guys after getting ahead 0-2?

[TheCrew07]

We had interesting discussion at a party last week about what to do with Suppan if he becomes the worst pitcher on the staff. I could definately see that happening in the next 2 years with the kids having success AA and above, and Villy already in the pen.

[craigharmann]

One change I would love to have made in pro sports is if you don't do well for periods of time, you have to give a portion of your money back. Earn it by doing well, not by just showing up.

[MadisonBrewerBlue]

how lucky was suppan in that inning ?...he sucked and still got though it

Trade bait. As long as he remains at least on the positive side of average, stays healthy, and teams like the Yankees are willing to buy any kind of arms, someone will be desperate enough to trade for him.

The outfielder has cost him both of those runs even though the at bat to the pitcher sucked.

Walking the pitcher cost him the run, Hall is Hall. We argued the whole way from the game on the 24th about if Hall throws the ball to 2nd to hold the lead run if the Brewers win that game.

 

 

Haha Damien!

[1992casey]

Jeff has no-trade protection:

 

? full no-trade clause, 2007-08

? limited no-trade clause, 2009-10 (may block deals to 8 clubs each year)

 

Pretty cool, Damian!

Damian needs to get more playing time. He just seems to always come up with a big hit when he plays.

[LUKE232323]

Watching Suppan pitch is like pulling teeth. High pitch counts every batter and he can't put guys away.

[PeaveyFury]

I love getting beat by slap hitting CF's that were hitting .230 coming into the game.

 

Of course the Pirates are saying the same thing about our backup catcher, I'd imagine.

[TerraceReserved]

Sheesh, Suppan is not sharp at all tonight. His pitch count is way up there. At least he's kept us in the game so far. (Had we not scored 3 runs, he wouldn't have kept us in it; hence Rluz's fan perception of pitchers http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

Alright Corey!

[Schlitz001]

The IGTs have been slower than the pace of the games lately. Where is everyone?

 

Edit: Nice double Corey!

 

Edit: JJ!

[EdgarDiazRocks]

Boy I hate those who harp on the "I told you so" posts . . .

 

That said, all y'all who wanted to play TGJ over Corey in April and May . . .

 

Wink, wink . ..nudge . . .nudge

Vacation I suppose. Monday, etc

 

Despite the Suppan dogpile tonight, I think it's been a pretty entartaining game

[SeriesFinale]

Online that looks like a pretty weird play
