5/27/08 Braves (Hudson) at Brewers (Bush): 7:05 PM CDT

[trwi7]

EDIT: He's also .300 against Hudson.

This was Ned's excuse last year for sitting Weeks for Counsell even when Weeks was red hot.

[pebadger]

Rickie can't buy a hit on a liner and Prince gets a hit on that.

[dlk9s]

I hate two out rallies. They just get my hopes up.

[rluzinski]

Stop teasing me, Brewers.

[thablingster]

3TO percentage goes up. JJ, please?

[dlk9s]

JJ will hit it Hardy.

 

I'd love Hudson to bounce one, though.

[endaround]

There's the fear!

[bucks2281]

Time for Grand Slam #1

[pebadger]

The legend grows

[dlk9s]

WE GOT A LUCKY BOUNCE FOR ONCE!

[hurricanecrush]

JJ is the man!

[pebadger]

Just like coach used to tell you. Take it back through the box and good things will happen.

[trwi7]

Shut up Bill, I'm just glad they tied it!!

[dlk9s]

I'll tell you what: as ugly as this game started, and as weak as most of the contact from our hitters has been, this has been a fairly fun game to watch, regardless of the outcome.

 

Prediction: Kendall will hit a grounder.

 

EDIT: Meh.

[endaround]

Really don't understand it for the Braves though. Branyan is not a high average guy no matter who is pitching

[hurricanecrush]

WE GOT A LUCKY BOUNCE FOR ONCE!

After further review. it actually looks like we were unlucky.

 

[trwi7]

Kendall showing his silo power.

[endaround]

Hey he didn't GIDP! He's making Hardy feel better!

[dlk9s]

Hey he didn't GIDP! He's making Hardy feel better!

Kendall has not GIDP this year.

 

[trwi7]

I don't understand why Kendall was swinging at the first pitch. Hudson was at 120 pitches, just got hit in the foot and was probably tired with nowhere to put him. Take a pitch or two.

[thablingster]

Ned didn't run Tavarez out there for a second inning? Wow.

 

Please get out of this inning, Sal.

[endaround]

Double Switch? You're planning on Torres going 2? why?

[endaround]

Hey he didn't GIDP! He's making Hardy feel better!

Kendall has not GIDP this year.

 

Asterix on that-due to Pirate 2B not knowing the number of outs

Well played, endaround. Well played.

Here it is guys. In mid-September we'll be in the heat of a pennant race. Everyone will be ripping the cover off of the ball. We'll look back on May 27th and say, "THAT was the turning point. That's when the season really started." Let's go!
