What can Braun do for you?

[Giraldo8]

Woohoo way to go Braunie!

[trwi7]

Rock was talking about how well the Brewers were manufacturing runs today (!?!)and Skaalen comes back with "Yeah, Weeks did a good job of manufacturing with that first pitch there"

LOL.

 

BRAUN!!!!!!

[derflotr]

Braun just swings at EVERYTHING. But he hits all of it!

 

Who are we to want him to be more selective?

[ELCABALLO45]

BRAUNIE

[DrWood]

I think that braun fellow might be a keeper.

[hawing]

C'mon, Bill. Two out magic.

[sheetswannabe]

If its 4-1 in the 9th, will you be scared if Gagne come in?

[Team Canada]

Braun's hitting about .400 lifetime vs the Cubs..

[ELCABALLO45]

If its 4-1 in the 9th, will you be scared if Gagne come in?

YES

[tigerbrew]

Should've had Hart at 5th instead of Hall.

[RightFieldCoder]

I think teams are going to have to start feeding more strikes to The Prince to stay away from Bruantasaurus.

[sheetswannabe]

Did you just see the boxscore at the bottom of the screen? We have a no-hitter on them! haha

[ELCABALLO45]

I hate to say it but.. Kendall batting 9th worked

[Fear The Chorizo]

so how many more Brewers have to get hit by Cubs' pitching before Yost summons McClung to throw at Ramirez's ribs?

[drezdn]

It won't be Aram... I predict that Fukudome will be plunked.

[SoCalBrewfan]

They would of pitched around Kendall and faced Suppan.

 

True, but then you wouldn't have the pitcher leading off the inning in any event. Still, I'm more than willing to chalk one up for the Kendall 9th thing. Tho it will look a lot prettier with Cameron hitting second instead of (ugh) Kapler...thank you Braun for picking this one up and making Yost look all smart and all.

[sheetswannabe]

Pretty much McClung seems like hes just a weapon. Bring him in to face a guy and nail him... Seemed to work last year, who cares if he gets suspended?

[DrWood]

Weeks and Fielder are always going to get hit a lot. It's not intentional, at least not on the part of the pitcher.

 

[Schlitz001]

Props to Suppan for a good outing so far today. Let's hope he has an April like he did last year.

[sheetswannabe]

Weeks almost made a great play! Too bad almost only counts in horseshoes, and hand grenades...

[ELCABALLO45]

Theroit showing his grit

[Fear The Chorizo]

I'm not saying they're intentionally throwing at Prince and Weeks, but the Brewers have the right to consistently work more than inside against opponents' best hitters too...especially if a warning hasn't been issued.

[ELCABALLO45]

Sooooooup!

[Schlitz001]

Is Soriano wearing eye white under this eyes?
