6/27/07 Astros (Williams) @ Brewers (Suppan): 1:05 PM CDT

[SeriesFinale]

On Gameday it looks like Braun should have been swinging at a 3-0 pitch rather than striking out

 

UFF DA

[olliegjw]

Probably Scott, Biggio and Bruntlett this inning. Lets see another scoreless inning here Bush.

[PrinceFielder28]

please no walks...i saw to many of those on Sunday late in the game

[Kpanz20]

Lets go Bush!

[Kpanz20]

since bill isn't calling the game today... i'll fill in.

 

"Dave Bush needs to keep the ball down and get ahead in the count."

[PrinceFielder28]

man i jinxed it

[olliegjw]

I just love leadoff walks, especially in extra innings.

[Nearsighted Views]

Since Bill isn't here today as well, I was wondering what would happen if they took Miller out of the lineup and put Estrada in--do we have another backup?

[Nearsighted Views]

Ground ball, ground ball, ground ball

[Kpanz20]

Graffy is the emergency catcher i believe. But theres no way they take out Miller.

[rluzinski]

Powell: "The majority of time that there's a leadoff walk, the team scores."

 

Sorry Jim, close but only 44% of the time (at least from 99-02):

It doesn't matter how the runner got there either (walk vs. single).

[rluzinski]

Miller can throw guys out!

[PrinceFielder28]

nice throw damian

[TwinsBrewersWorldSeries]

Hmmmmm

 

Era = 7.00+ OBA = 3.12

 

We should tag this guy....

[Kpanz20]

rluzinski...

you amaze me with your stats at the drop of a hat basically.

[Nearsighted Views]

How many people do you think bought Fielder jerseys today?

[jhart05]

Sweet, they threw somebody out stealing!!

 

Now com'on boys, finish this now!!!

[brewers255]

I smell a Prince walk off.

[brettac1]

Hey, I think Dave Bush has just become a proven reliever. At least he's back to neutral now, since he offset his two bad innings last season.

[mikevan1818]

I'm feeling "Jenkins to right and deep . . . "

So, he may still be right. A guy getting on via a walk may score may often than a single. This could be due to pitchers wildness including additional walks, WP's, etc.

Every time the Brewers play a weekday day game my secretary hears these random whoops from my office. That was one of them.

[RightFieldCoder]

Walk Off time.

[jakesdaddio]

Awful bullpen...Brewers need to win here.

Dear Astros,

 

Please put in Randolph at some point.
