4/13/08 Brewers (Suppan) at Mets (Perez): 12:10 PM CDT

[And That]

Kapler is getting jobbed with the strike zone.

[trwi7]

See ya later, Jeff. He was TERRIBLE and yet he still won't get the loss!

 

That's because he's a winner.

[crossface21]

A bomb by Braun right now would be perfect!

[whynotthebrewers]

Other teams have problems with their pitching as well?

[crossface21]

Holy crap. Sosa sucks. The Mets version of Turnbow.

[And That]

Ryan Braun... will not be walked!

[Trowekamp]

Ryan Braun... will not be walked!

Now that he is an OF he is the Midwest Jeff Franceour

[Trowekamp]

I am going back to my preseason argument that Hart should bat 5th.. Hall doesn't make enough contact for all the times they are going to walk Fielder.

[MarquetteBrewFan]

Hart!

[crossface21]

YES!

[mls4]

FYI- With the HBP in the 1st inning, Weeks has as many career HBP as Robin Yount finished with. They are tied for 5th in Brewer career HBP.

[SeriesFinale]

Great day for Corey; good to see

[Trowekamp]

Do Gabe and Hart (pre-shave) have the worst facial hair in the majors?

[TooLiveBrew]

I'm sure there will be counter-examples, but one reason to keep [[Prince ahead of Braun]] is to reduce the IBBs to Prince. Braun getting IBB'd -- imo -- has less of a negative impact than a free pass to Fielder. Prince has no trouble taking/working BBs, while that's one area in which Braun has a long way to go, and will likely not ever be better than Prince.

 

 

EDIT: [[Fixed order of Braun/Fielder]]

[Ennder]

Games like this emphasize how important our improved bullpen depth is. Last year we'd have Spurling and Aquino out for these innings and nobody that could go more than 1 IP so the entire bullpen would be shot(if we didn't have an off day the next day that is).

 

Pirates have scored 5 runs on Cueto in 6 IP, he is human!

Prince is more likely to be IBB with Braun ahead of him than behind him.

[MarquetteBrewFan]

I cant even tell whats going on with this fsn production. Am I even watching a baseball game, I dont know?

[nohopspanther]

I like how we got to see that ball get by weeks, not.

[endaround]

FSN Wisconsin-We guarantee we'll have a camera shot somewhere near where the play is happening

[nohopspanther]

Torres for 2nd base on defense anyone?

[MarquetteBrewFan]

Phil getting something going against the cubs.

[dlk9s]

By the way, Geoff Jenkins is hitting leadoff today. He's 1-4, but I did see him absolutely crush a line drive that got robbed by the 2B.

He flailed away at a bad pitch for a K in the 1st and popped out with runners on 2nd and 3rd with 1 out, so you saw the better part of his game.

[MarquetteBrewFan]

Whats the deal with all the walks he is giving up this season?

 

Nice pitch there to end the inning but his control has been not very good so far this season. Seems to get out of jams so far though.

[SeriesFinale]

Who's coming up here, Counsell?

[igor67]

I've realized how truly bad Braun was at third last year, I still cringe and then get excited everytime the announcer says a ball is hit to third. I'd been totally conditioned that a hit towards third = hit. Yeah Hall!
