a full half-inning later... Sportsline still does not know how to sum up that "play"

 

and frankly, I think I am just as confused as the half drunk monkeys they have over there mashing the keyboard

[sundevil1]

For all the knocks that Bill Schroeder takes on BF.net, I think he just raised a very good point about Hall in the outfield, trying to make the big play and create outs, rather than just get the ball to the infielders to allow the team to make plays

 

Great point. Billy really needs to slow down and work on the fundamentals. It seems that he is trying to make things happen in super speed mode. SLOW DOWN BILLY

[billyhallfan]

the wierd thing is is the fact that Hall makes and has made some high-light reel plays, but then you take a trip to go to the bathroom and get a brat, and then he bobbles something and allows runners to move. I also agree with Bill on this...

[bacon06]

Isn't that what Billy used to always do at third base until he slowed himself down?

[BrewCrewForever]

Schoreder is right, hes just got to slow it down in the OF.

[billyhallfan]

I know Weeks did the same thing at second for a period of time...

[BrewCrewForever]

Man Vargas 10 K's!

[sheethead]

10 Ks for Vargas, very nice. Still, I have a feeling we need a couple more runs.

[JET15]

JET15 what are you going to do with Hall when Braun comes up?

 

You mean if I was Ned Yost? I'd make him learn how to catch. That seems to be the all position plan for Hall http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

[billyhallfan]

Claudio is on fire.

[sundevil1]

Whatever you do, do not pinch hit for Vargas!!!

[BrewCrewForever]

11 K's for Vargas. Very nice. He got us through 6 maybe 7 then its Turnbow/Cordero time?

[MadisonBrewerBlue]

vargas = god

[Team Canada]

Apparently Sheets is loaning all his K's to Vargas for the year.

[crewcrazy]

I love how Estrada starting walking off the field before the ump even called the third strike. Not sure if the ump appreciated it, though. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/laugh.gif

[And That]

Unless his spot in the order comes up, have to think Vargas comes back in at least for the #8 guy.

[thablingster]

After seeing Greg Aquino's mental breakdown yesterday, seeing Vargas bear down during this game is that much more impressive.

[Schlitz001]

I just started watching this game and I gotta say that Vargas' 11 Strikeouts is great, but then I see we have 3 errors and I don't even want to know.

[madjeff66]

11 K's for Claudio, nice...

 

Remember his stats are a little out of whack from mop-up against the Cubs a couple of weeks back.

 

As maddening as the 5th inning sequence was, if you have to make 3 errors in a game, that is almost exactly how you want to make them. Vargas didn't have to throw any extra pitches because of them and it only led to one run.

[BrewCrewForever]

You mean if I was Ned Yost? I'd make him learn how to catch. That seems to be the all position plan for Hall

 

Haha. That is funny, but seriously?

[TauPentaRei]

Tip of the cap to Dr. Vargas...

 

nice shot of Wise warming up,

 

you think Turnbow is rested enough to go after last night?

[brewmann04]

wow mench is on a tear tonight

[Team Canada]

The Menchkins monster keeps on truckin.

[thablingster]

I like this Kevin Mench much more than 2006 Kevin Mench. lol

[brettac1]

As long as it doesn't make Yost think he can suddenly hit RHP's, Mench is awesome.
