Anyone remember that play last year.. Barry Bonds poped up to Hardy, then Hardy let it fall because Bonds didnt run, and he got the DP... That was awesome

[Ennder]

Gwynn could be a decent player if he at least had doubles power and if he walked more. It is more than just the fact he doesn't hit HRs.

[Glennron]

Suppan on pace for another nice line of : 5 IP 5 H 6 BB 3 Ks 3 ER 112 pitches.

 

"It's been a tight strike zone" A) That was a ball B) Freakin' adjust then Suppan, why are you nibbling against the pitcher?

[MoneyballMan]

Great, three walks, including the pitcher. Hope it doesn't come back to haunt........

[yfinn6]

Wow, those ball 4 pitches to the last three hitters really have been close. It looks like there are going to be a lot of walks issued in this game since both of these pitchers pitch to contact....

[eanelson4]

walking the pitcher? are you kidding me...

Yeah, not a great strategy, but at least they got away with it.

[Glennron]

That was a prime example of why I have a problem when people say "Brian Anderson is better than most other MLB announcers." I haven't heard that many other teams announcers, but BA just said "Izturis is a prototypical lead-off hitter." 2,844 career AB's, .297 career OBP. Nice research.

[Ennder]

Brian Anderson is ok but nothing special. Most of them stink so I guess the competition isn't that fierce.

[sheetswannabe]

Anyone know attendence for the year?

[Oldcity]

And a great approach by that prototypical leadoff hitter. The guy walked the bases loaded, and you ground out to the pitcher on the first pitch.

[Glennron]

That strike to Kendall was a ball to Glaus.

 

Heh, guess it doesn't matter.

[adambr2]

Same with strike 1 to Rickie.

[adambr2]

That last AB was the perfect example of why I hate Gwynn batting 2nd with the pitcher batting 8th. Not necessarily the result itself, but the situation. You have your high OBP guys at #9 and #1. You set the stage for RBI's at #2, and Slappy's infield singles aren't going to do that.

[Glennron]

Why do I smell another 30 pitch inning?

[MoneyballMan]

Ok, already - enough complaining about the schedule! We're 8-7 at home. So, if we had more games at home, we'd be 12-11. It just sounds like whining. So someone shut these guys up!

[bucks2281]

Wow, Albert Pujols is having trouble on the bases today

[eanelson4]

smart play by Prince there

[WV Brew]

65 pitches in 3 innings. Vintage Brewers. Can we for once get a guy who throws an occasional strike?

[kiwi brewer]

that kind of stuff will get larussa fired up and probably get in Albert's face. (ned, watch and learn.)

[Oldcity]

Anyone else think they might have had Kennedy? Can't complain with the results.

 

Apparently Bill disagrees with me.

[sheetswannabe]

Braun!!!

[eanelson4]

BTW Schroeder and Schneider are a coupe of Gumba's. If only Uecker did T.V. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/frown.gif

[Glennron]

Yay Braun!
