5/13/08 Dodgers (Penny) at Brewers (Villanueva): 7:05 PM CDT

I love Ryan Braun. Now if Prince can start hitting this team could be scary like it should be

[adambr2]

I love Pierre's noodle-arm.

[tdeggie]

why didn't Cameron slide? That play is too close not to be sliding, IMO

[rluzinski]

Brewer the game:

 

Penny: 4.69 ERA

Villy: 6.46 ERA

 

Through 5 innings:

 

Penny: 5.19 ERA

Villy: 6.14 ERA

 

Still time to catch him, Villy! Only 64 pitches through 5 innings, so he could go for 2-3 more innings, easy.

[TauPentaRei]

looks like Sveum is going to need rotator cuff surgery the way he windmills em in...

 

Pierre could goalie punt the ball in speedier than his tosses.

[iluvlamp]

Darnit? Villy! This inning is too important. Come on!

[davemakovec]

Villy just got through six, and he's only thrown 82 pitches. He might go seven!

[adambr2]

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?

 

Did they really? Wow, I'm glad that didn't pan out.

 

He's pretty much Tony Gwynn Jr, only TGJ can actually play defense and actually has a great arm.

 

Not a knock on TGJ, he's not garbage, but the idea of giving him a huge multi-million dollar deal is laughable.

[HurricaneBraun]

BRAUN IS FIRE

[PeaveyFury]

Braun is insanely hot right now.

[dlk9s]

Braun is so money and he doesn't even know it.

[pitchleague]

gotta say, except for a few semi-shaky points on the mound, this has been another very well played game (okay, maybe the CS right before the HR). Very enjoyable.

[TauPentaRei]

Braun is insanely hot right now.

 

what, 11/20 with 7 runs & 6 RBI in 5 games is good?

 

to think, the Pacific Northwesterners in my league scoffed when I dealt J Ro for Braunie straight up.

[RickieDROPSbombs]

Boy i love seeing Ryan trying to drive the ball to center or right with 2 strikes. Who closes tongiht? Mota? Gange?

[Vgmastr]

Gagne warming up? Really Ned?

[GormanHarvey]

I know this is late, but thanks for the Dish info ELCABALLO45 and yoshii8

[rluzinski]

Gagne gets demoted, pitches 2 mediocre innings yesterday.... time to get back on the horse!

 

Man, sometimes I think there are no real plans around these parts.

[bucks2281]

Gagne? Uggh...I'm feeling a bad vibe.

[mikerollins]

Good to see Gagne up. Time to get him on track as the team is starting to heat up.

Once he gets in a groove...it's all pistols firing for this team.

[dlk9s]

Gagne warming up? Really Ned?

I don't like it. And it's not because he stinks. Something just doesn't sit right with me about Gagne begging out of the closer role one day then saying he's ready the next, then Yost says "ok," and puts him back in after having a less-than-stellar outing last night.

[iluvlamp]

I am sick to my stomach now. Let's score 4 so Gagne may not puke it up. I mean COME ON!

[TauPentaRei]

gotta think if Gagne loses Martin that Shouse comes in for the lefty Dewitt.

 

preemptive OMG.

[Sheets4theHOF]

what is ned yost thinking? i really can't even believe it. even if it works bringing in gagne after pitching two innings yesterday is so monumentally stupid.

 

why do the brewers have to have a manager they have to consistently overcome rather then a manager who puts their players in a position to win?

 

why wasn't this guy fired after last year's collapse ?

 

edit: mistakes from typing angry.

[TauPentaRei]

I'm ready for Dillon to be the #1 option of the bench.

 

This TGJ experiment has run its course.

[rluzinski]

I don't like it only because he pitched 2 innings for like the first time in his career (yes, I'm exaggerating) yesterday. It just seems odd. That said, at least it's a 2 run lead, so he doesn't have to be perfect.
