With as softly as that ball was hit by Kent, i wish Braun made a more aggressive attempt to catch it

[pebadger]

The guy who broke his leg on a foul ball like that was Jermaine Dye, when he was with the A's, right?

[TauPentaRei]

newsflash 1: won't be hitting 3 million turnstiltudes this year.

need 37,625 per game before tonight's (~23,000) count is factored in

 

 

newsflash 2: Yo (post-surgery) "I'll be back in September"

including playoffs, 3 mil will be a cinch!

[adambr2]

I am glad that Bill and Brian acknowledged that Martin is generally a good defensive catcher.

 

It seems many journalists have this false belief that good hitting catchers are always poor at fielding.

[Tisko]

Is anyone else listening on the radio (specifically 620)? I don't know if its my radio, but it sounds like someone is slowly turning the volume down and then slowly turning it back up. Anyone else having that problem?

[TauPentaRei]

Can Billy have his LASIK surgery now (and go on the 15 day DL), rather than wait until the end of the season?

[pebadger]

That's the kind of boringly efficient offensive output I'd like to see more of from Milwaukee. I don't need crooked numbers all the time to keep me happy.

I agree, it seems that the other team so often knocks in that gift run (error to second) and the Brewers so rarely get a guy in from second (Hart the previous inning)

Well there you go. Two out single, SB, then a single

 

[Lake Geneva Brewer Fan]

Damage control. This could have been a nightmare inning.

[bbaehman]

Villa rhymes with see ya

[rluzinski]

Fielder has had about 1,000 groundouts to the 1B or 2B (playing in the hole) the last couple of weeks. Come on, big guy!

[Raw Biz]

Anyone else miss Vasgersian?

[rluzinski]

Hey look, the Brewers are trying to make things happen! Yes!

 

EDIT: That Hall HR should would have looked nice with Hart still at 2B.

[pebadger]

What is CV's WHIP on the season? Not doing himself any favors so far tonight.

 

Penny is good enough anyway, but seems to be a particularly tough nut for the Brewers.

 

Especially when guys do stupid stuff like trying to steal third on Martin.

[blatzlight]

Anyone else miss Vasgersian?

That brought back fun memories that make me wish once again he was here and not with the Fathers.

 

[TauPentaRei]

Billy has absurd opposite field power.

[iluvlamp]

So I hear Billy is putting off LASIK. Why? Just have it now and he'll be good to go in a couple days. I have an uncle who is a surgeon, had LASIK, and was performing surgery 3 days later. No reason to wait.

 

BYE Cappy.

[Lake Geneva Brewer Fan]

[sigh] Poor Cappy.

[rluzinski]

Villy's walk rate is actually down so far this year. He's just given up a milliion bombs and hasn't had an above average LOB% like last year. His core numbers last year really weren't anything to get excited about to begin with.

[adambr2]

Haha Villy walked on 4 pitches. Sweet!

[rluzinski]

Schroeder just said that was a tough pitch for Weeks to take with 2 strikes.

 

Everyone, drink 5.

[jjfanec]

Come on now Braun. Just pretend there is no one on base

[rluzinski]

Braun!!!!

 

Man, that guy is hitting balls hard right now.

 

EDIT: So, Pierre can't hit and has a laughable arm. Sign that guy to a multi-year deal and put him in Left Field! How the hell did the brewers show any interest in that guy?
