[logan82]

I haven't been watching very closley, but with Randy Marsh behind the plate, we should have a small strikezone.

Just want to share that the FSN-Florida crew is making it a priority to broadcast the sausage race in its entirety.

What's even better is that they are talking about airing it this early in the game as well.

[TeeJayh1980]

why is Coach McCarthy breaking into my Brewers game and talking about tractors? I HATE YOU FSN

[crewcrazy]

Here's something that I didn't know -- Mark Hendrickson actually played in the CBA for the La Crosse Bobcats in 1998 in between NBA stints. Wikipedia is a wonderful thing.

[TooLiveBrew]

You know, these Marlins announcers are actually quite good. They discussed the 'Kendall batting 9th' thing, and the color guy had actually read up on it -- he at least knew enough to say that he felt the effectivenes of batting the P 8th depends upon who you have to bat 9th, and that Kendall is a better fit than most teams have, including St. Louis.

 

So far, I'm impressed.

 

 

EDIT: FSN-FLA just showed a clip from New Jersey Net Mark Hendrickson's NBA career-high 19-point performance at home vs. ... the Bucks

 

He played for Philly, Sacramento, & New Jersey

TLB--do you know who the Marlins announcers are? just curious if they are the standard media guy and ex player combo

[crewcrazy]

There's a thread over at Lambeau Leap about the Draft if you guys want to talk about it there: http://lambeauleap.yuku.com?topic=616

 

Let's try to keep the Packers talk out of a Brewers game thread, even though the Brohm pick is pretty exciting. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

No, not sure, but I'll go check.

 

 

EDIT:

 

P-b-p: Rich Waltz (played college baseball at UC-Davis)

 

Color: Tommy Hutton (former MLB guy)

Nice throw by Braunie, and nice deke by Kendall! Dang, almost got 'im

 

 

Villy's really looked good so far, though I admit the Fish have been helping him out.

[Blancofan1]

Another solid outing for Villy tonight. Are we going to have to see him get another at bat here even though he is over 100 pitches?

[TooLiveBrew]

Yea, probably, blancofan -- good call. Shucks.

 

EDIT: Goin' with Counsell... not the best matchup, but it's gotta be better than Villy. Nice to see Yost trying something else

[Blancofan1]

It would be so nice to have a right handed option on the bench right now when all you need is a fly ball.

[logan82]

Crazy Joe comes to mind.

[TooLiveBrew]

Yea, Crazy Joe would've been a great option there. Why are we going with 13 pitchers not named Sheets again?

[Ennder]

Yeah this 14 pitchers thing has to come to an end. I was ok with it for a day or two because the bullpen was so gassed but it is just killing us now.

[endaround]

Of course we could take that huge risk that Kendall might not get injured....

[HurricaneBraun]

Damn, man on third with one out and we cant get him in. typical

[GormanHarvey]

I have been kind of in and out during the game - any word on how sheet's bullpen session went today?

[crewcrazy]

Leadoff doubles should never be stranded. Ugh.

[MillerParkSouth]

are we trying to set a record for most lead off doubles not scored in a season!?

[endaround]

Leadoff doubles should never be stranded. Ugh.

They get stranded about 1/2 the time

They mentioned it a little bit earlier but didn't really say much. I would guess that there was no major setbacks, and they will be able to gauge his availability for Tuesday by how sore he is tomorrow.

[TSack27]

Of course we could take that huge risk that Kendall might not get injured....

Something about Kendall's play this year makes me believe we would keep playing with a broken leg... and still run the bases as well as Estrada.

Sheets hopes to pitch.

[Blancofan1]

Torres looked really good that inning. It's so nice to see a reliever come in and get the side out 1-2-3
