I can't believe[/i] how much better he is than Estrada... and that's saying something!

 

Well, I don't know how much that is saying considering Estrada was one of the worst defensive catchers in the league...but alas, Kendall HAS been great

[sheetswannabe]

Haha that Manny play is great, hes so dimwitted sometimes

[TooLiveBrew]

No, I mean, I can't believe how much better he is... bc I agree with your assessment! http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif As in, I expected him to be light-years better, and I still can't believe he's better than I expected

Indeed

[endaround]

Ypou know why people focus on the managers to a great degree? Because the stupid broadcasts spend 2/3rds of every inning talking about how great and important managers are.

[sheetswannabe]

Sorry, but thats a ball

[TooLiveBrew]

MYGAWD was that a horrible call. Had to have been half a foot off the plate!

Um, HELLO. Someone has to call for the intentional walks and sacrifice squeezes.

[TheCrew07]

It's unfortunate that Yost gets so much of the blame, when it's true that coaches matter less in baseball than any other sport.

[TooLiveBrew]

Juan Pierre is... how you say?... suck

[And That]

Outside of the second inning, the offense has done squat. Icky.

[iluvlamp]

Um..do my eyes deceive me? Did Parra get out of the sixth? I feel faint.

[Tailgat0r76]

Man what a game so far. Clutch hitting and a great outing from Parra so far and still only at 77 pitches.

 

So how will we make it interesting tonight?

[TooLiveBrew]

Well at least the strike zone is consistently crappy. Hall must be real happy.

[MillerParkSouth]

i'm just watching gamecast, is Hall getting screwed or does he just look awful?

[TeeJayh1980]

the strike zone tonight is weird city

[phxMILWfan]

Typical Yost... bases loaded 2 outs lets the PITCHER hit... I'd be willing to bet my paycheck that he takes Parra out in the next half inning anyway. What a moron.

[And That]

I'd be willing to bet my paycheck that he takes Parra out in the next half inning anyway. What a moron.

How much do you make?

 

[TooLiveBrew]

MPS, the strike zone has been strange, but consistent as far as I can tell. Lowe has been getting the strike call on the low-outside corner (v. RHP) with his sinker... happened to screw over Hall for two bad calls.

[phxMILWfan]

Not that much... hense why I'd be willing to bet it.

[jhart05]

This is the Parra we've been waiting for.

[eanelson4]

Does Parra usually get up to 94MPH with his fastball? I guess I don't remember him throwing so hard. If so, he's got some pretty good stuff, especially when he throws in that big ol' curve

[TooLiveBrew]

Yes -- that's near or at the top end of his 'normal' FB velocity. He does indeed have filthy stuff.

[TooLiveBrew]

GREAT effort on the dive there by Prince. Man -- almost got 'im

[jhart05]

That's OK.

 

From now on I'd rather the pitcher just stay out of Prince's way on a play like that.
