6/15/07 Brewers (Vargas) @ Twins (Baker): 7:10 PM CDT

[Hate those Rodents]

I hope that Vargas can give us a solid six innings with only one run given up.

Jim Powell just said that the Twins are nearly unbeatable at home during the playoffs. The Twins have lost 7 consecutive home playoff games.

That's almost worthy of an e-mail. Holy crap...talk about giving in to some media-generated hype.

 

C'mon, Jim. You're better than that. "Giving in to media-generated hype" is Schroeder's job. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/happy.gif

Bad at-bat from Braun. He'll learn from it.

[DougJones43]

Bill was just talking about that Bonds has been really struggling this year.

 

.281 BA

13 HR

.489 OBP

.569 SLG

 

If that is stuggling, what do you call what Mench is doing this year?

[craigharmann]

Come on Billy! Drive in a run! Badger Mutual Insurance run, that is.

 

Edit: And there it is! Prince scores from first!

[JET15]

Billy! Mauer must be happy that throw was off target or he would ahve gotten bulldozed

[tigerbrew]

Yes! Hall makes them pay for the intentional walk.

[DougJones43]

Good to see Billy Hall hitting the ball hard once again.

[whizkid]

Man, I hate when the Brewers can only hit 6.45 ERA pitchers for an 11.5 ERA.

[igor67]

Billy was just saving himself for the stretch run this year http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

[Bruce Ciskie]

Good start, but same old Scott Baker in the end.

 

I'm sure Gardy is thrilled. Baker continues to show some Radke-like ability to control his pitches, followed by a long stretch of pitching like Sidney Ponson.

[BrewCrewForever]

And Billy spits in the Twins face. How dare you pitch around Prince to get to me!

[Hate those Rodents]

Vargas looking pretty good today. And you know other teams are taking notice of the Gallardo call-up...

[craigharmann]

The way he's going, I think Vargas is going to get through 6. Bring in Capellan for the 7th?

[PeaveyFury]

Behind Sheets, Vargas has been our most consistent starter this season.

[ChgoBrewFan]

Vargas might go 7 and that would be nice.

[Bruce Ciskie]

Let's just get him through six and see what it looks like.

 

I'm not opposed to letting try to get through seven if he can avoid serious damage in the sixth.

 

I'm assuming we'd like to avoid using Cordero tonight after he threw a few pitches yesterday, so that would leave Wise and Turnbow, along with Capellan. Right?

[craigharmann]

Do you really want Cordero in a non-save situation? I don't. So it's a combination of Capellan, Wise, Shouse, Spurling and Turnbow, I guess.

[JET15]

OK, a bit off topic, but I just have to say that the Miller break dancer commercial is THE worst. That music is terrible, the graphics are cheap. It's awful. It's a I-can't-hit-the-mute-fast-enough every time.

[PeaveyFury]

We'll probably see Cappy 2 in the 7th or 8th depending on how long Vargas goes.

[Bruce Ciskie]

Craig--

 

I was offering it up with the possibility that the Twins will close this thing to a save situation before the ninth.

[craigharmann]

Bruce, right on! Now it's 3 runs.

[Bruce Ciskie]

6-3 now. Good piece of hitting by Morneau.

 

And now it's a save situation. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

[JoeH33]

I don't like all this "chipping away at the lead" thats going on here. Looks like we may see Cordero after all.

[TeeJayh1980]

Why is the bullpen quiet?
