Yeah I wrote that Giraldo...Wasnt a typo..

Yeah I saw it as well. Was it a typo by FSN though?

 

 

Great hustle Kendall! I'm really liking him.

 

 

 

 

pitching in the bullpen doesn't always mean "warming up". Starters throw on some of their off days.

[Giraldo8]

Nice job Gabe! quality AB there

[tristarscoop]

at least it scored a run???

[Fear The Chorizo]

alright, let's tack on one more now

[Bernman23]

Good at bat Kapler!

[RobDeer 45]

I really like all the hustle we are seeing! That's great to see.

[sheetswannabe]

Good job Kapie...

 

I think Kapler looks like a mix of Brady Clark and A-Rod...just me though

[sheetswannabe]

Fielder hit again......

[giffted1]

Fielder hit again...get McClung up in the pen.

[SeriesFinale]

Is the mound being charged as we speak?

 

Somone needs to get plunked tomorrow

[BrewCrewForever]

I can't believe how much Prince and Rickie get hit. Crazy.

[Bernman23]

Fielder hit again...get Mota up in the pen.

fixed

If you can't beat em, you might as well bean em.

[azcheesehead]

When a guy gets hit on an 0-2 curve, I highly doubt it was on purpose. Prince is probably glad he got hit. It isn't like he has the best young hitter in the game behind him....oh wait....

[SeriesFinale]

Alright, let's get some big noise here Brauny---shove it right down their stinkin' craws

[Fear The Chorizo]

That's 4 HBP in 2 games, intentional or not

[wisconsinfan47]

I can't believe how much Prince and Rickie get hit. Crazy.

I can see Prince and his big frame, but why Rickie continually leads the league in HBP is also beyond me. He doesn't really crowd, and he is a threat on the basepaths...makes no sense.

 

[olliegjw]

Cubs would be wise to walk Braun here. Hall shouldn't scare them at all.

[DrWood]

I'd do it if batters crowd the plate as they do these days. Pitchers have to take back the inside.

 

[azcheesehead]

Howry better nibble since he isn't intentionally walking him.

[Bruce Ciskie]

Imagine if we were better than 5-for-20 with RISP today. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/ohwell.gif

Rickie's elbow hangs way out over the bases. If you have Monday's game taped, go back and look at when he gets hit. Bill/Brian go over it and show some close-ups and slo-mo's. His elbow is pretty much his strike zone. That's what consistently gets plunked.

 

[SeriesFinale]

Bah. Oh well, at least one got tacked on there.

[drezdn]

Fun Stat of the Day: Apparently the number seven player for HBP is the Brewers own Jason Kendall.

[azcheesehead]

Who are the Brewers bringing out?
