Im not sure about all you others, but after seeing turnbow's first few pitches that inning i wasnt scared. This year atleast..it seems as if he totally has it and good command or he has nothing, but no inbetween. Maybe Yost should start using an even shorter leash on him on nights it seems he doesnt have it....but i suppose that could destroy his confidence.

 

haha, no wonder why garner kept jennings in so long..

Prince, you are truly the king.

 

And Turnbow, I'll still take you as our set-up man any day.

 

And now Billy stays hot! This is a fun team to watch right now.

 

EDIT: WTG Estrada!

[igor67]

Closers tend to be very polarizing figures which I think goes a long way to explaining the widespread Turnbow anxiety.

If Weeks was healthy and slotted in second behind Hart this line-up would remind me a lot of the mid 90's Indians when they had the good Omar Vizquel in between Alomar and Lofton and had 3 guys pushing .400 OBPs with speed setting the table for Thome and Rameriez.

Ladies and gentlemen, your starting first baseman for the National League...

 

Prince Fielder!

 

Is that a Badger Mutual Insurance Run?

It's the Webb's Burger Run. Stop by your neighborhood George Webb's and pick up 6 burgers for $5.

Johnny Estrada just failed to score from 2nd on a double. That's um, unusual.

[BrewCrewForever]

Estrada needs to score from 2nd on a ball hit like that. Hes lucky he can hit cause his D and base running is just horriable.

[PeaveyFury]

And people think Ned leaves his pitchers in too long? Is Garner asleep?

 

My sincerest apologies to Phil. With this bullpen, I'm surprised he didn't let Jennings throw 140.

Off Topic: Here comes Parra for Inning number 9.

[brettac1]

Well, I'm all for some Spurling or Capellan action in the 9th.

[jjfanec]

i am watching the gameday. could someone tell me how did estrada not score from second on a double by jenkins?

[PeaveyFury]

Estrada couldn't/didn't see the ball, and didn't head for third until it landed.

He thought it hopped the fence so he was just trotting around.

Jenkins hit a screamer that Berkman looked like he'd catch but it went over his head. Ueck actually sounded like he was going to call it a catch and then changed his tone in a hurry. Estrada had to hold - probably thought the same thing as Ueck.

[jjfanec]

thanks for the recap. i knew estrada was slow but i thought there had to be a better reason.

[brettac1]

Ahem...

[berniebrewer4life]

Holy COW, just tuned in, and heard the call. Congrats to Manny! I <3 Parra!

[crewcrazy]

Right after Brian finishes saying that the Cardinals lost, Bill says that the Cards are tied and headed into extra innings. Thanks for your up-to-the-second analysis, Bill.

[BrewCrewForever]

Wow! Congrats to Manny Parra.

[lukevan]

Wow, perfect-o! Congrats Manny!

 

Things could look very,very awesome in the rotation very soon.
