4/30/07 Cardinals (Wells) @ Brewers (Suppan): 6:05 PM CDT

Let's here the votes for who pitches 8 and 9 for the crew....

 

I say let Suppan start the 8th and if he can't go 9 we bring in one of the non-turnbow/cordero options.

 

Not sure what Suppan's pitch count is at

[brettac1]

He's at 88 pitches. I'd guess one more inning, and then let Dessens or Spurling finish it.

No lead is too big for these two

[rluzinski]

Wow...when's the last time Jenkins was intentionally walked??

 

8 times last year, twice now this year and 63 times in his career.

[Ennder]

Cubs lose again. I know the Pirates are higher in the standings now but I just don't see them in it at end of the season so the more divisional wins they get the better.

[brettac1]

Yeah, the Cubs are 0-6 in 1 run games. That's going to even out. Even though they were overrated coming into the season, there's still quite a bit of talent on that team.

[JET15]

Cubs lose again.

 

Yeah, and I just can't get enough of them losing. Go whoever is playing the Cubs

[bucksman4]

Hats off to Suppan tonight. Even though he doesn't have a 96 mph heater or an unhittable breaking ball, the man simply knows how to pitch. I hope the 'ace' of this staff is watching this guy out there. He could learn a thing or two from the way Soup mixes up his pitches and never gives in with a straight fastball right up the plate like some guys.

[moofnelson]

Nice game Suppan. Sure is nice to see him on our side. How many games did he pitch against the Brewers just like tonight? Seems like 100.

I told my dad the same thing about an hour ago. I hope Suppan rubs off on Sheets a little.

stealing 3rd in the same game...

 

Ender, contrary to what many might think, lots in baseball feel stealing 3rd is easier. Catchers and pitchers are often not holding people well at 2nd. And a bad throw can often result in the player walking home. So if the time is right, many baseball folks emrace the steal of third more than the steal of second

[Pittsville Panther Alum]

i don't wanna burn out soup either though. these are the innigns for dessens ...spurling...of the pro baseball world.

[DHonks]

I'd keep Suppan in there. He's handled Pujols, so I'd stick with him for that reason alone. At worst, he'll still be below the 115 pitch threshold

[TheCrew07]

I have no issue with saving the bullpen here, as long as things work out...

[DHonks]

I find it funny that most here are bashing the announcers, like they bash nearly all announcers. Yet this is the biggest Brewers' lovefest I've heard on a national broadcast, ever.

[JoeH33]

Why can't Rolen and the Cards just go down easy in the ninth. We don't need Suppan throwing 7 pitch ab's when he's already at 100 pitches going into the inning.

[JET15]

I guess Suppan is showing STL what they're missing tonight

[soup can for prez]

JEFF SUPPAN = JEFF SOUP-CAN

[valpocrewsader]

Wise up in the bullpen? What makes Yost think Wise is a guy to possibly burn up on a night like tonight?

[DHonks]

I saw Shouse up

[TheEndless7]

Awesome outing Suppan!

[Oldcity]

Awesome job Suppan. Sweet deal!

[TheCrew07]

Question...

 

They mentioned many times that Brewers would go get a bat if they needed one. I couldn't help but think the Crew has all the upgrades they need at Triple A if it comes down to it. Am I alone in this regard? Do I have my Brewer goggles on?

 

I'm not ripping them (the announcers), I don't expect national people to have the same knowledge of the club as I do, when they cover the entire league. I just can't see signing someone at the trade deadline when we have Braun and Yo sitting at AAA, and we're already paying Koskie (I know Toronto is) to site at home.

[JoeH33]

Ballgame Over!

 

The Brewers win! Thaaaaaa Brewwwwwers Win!

Good game all around on a national stage.
