ugh, Ryan

[HurricaneBraun]

CRAP

[pitchleague]

Kapler should have let that ball hit him. Dead ball and only one out recorded. Darn it.

[rluzinski]

The Brewers never did hit the ball out of the infield, so we should be happy to have gotten two gift runs.

[danzig6767]

Man, i know it happens to other teams, but i sure wasn't confident we'd get the guy in from third even though there were no outs.

[pitchleague]

you're exactly right, Russ

[MillerParkSouth]

2nd and 3rd, nobody out, zero runs and somehow i'm not surprised. simple, fundamental baseball there, just put the ball into the outfield and we're winning. this is the kind of stuff that drives me nuts about this team. it seems like they sometimes fail to realize that they don't need to swing for the fences every time they're at the plate!

[pitchleague]

at least Branyan is still available in the 8th/9th/extra innings

[danzig6767]

Are we supposed to say mean things about Braun now?

Yea Braun hit into the DP, but be honest. With a runner on third with less than two outs, are you really saying that Weeks and Cameron aren't low on the totem pole for guys you would want up in that situation?

[pitchleague]

it seems like they sometimes fail to realize that they don't need to swing for the fences every time they're at the plate!

But, they HAVE to! They set a franchise record for HR's last year. It's what they do!

Seriously, I agree with you. Cameron tried to poke a few to right, but Weeks AB was very weak (and too quick) and Braun got over anxious on a guy you know throws low sliders.

 

[jjfanec]

I smile when I think we got Mota for Estrada.

[trwi7]

PRINCE BOMB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Gobias Industries]

Weeks, with that AB, and basically just the last 8 games in general, has put together some of the worst at-bats I've seen in ages.

 

He's become one of the worst fastball hitters on the team as well.

 

Fielder!!!

[HurricaneBraun]

PRINCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

[AJAY]

Has that ball landed yet?

[rluzinski]

Yea Braun hit into the DP, but be honest. With a runner on third with less than two outs, are you really saying that Weeks and Cameron aren't low on the totem pole for guys you would want up in that situation?

 

If I'm just looking for a sac fly? Agreed. I didn't mean to suggest otherwise.

 

Prince's HR must have really upset Bill. That's not how you go ahead in the 8th!

[TeeJayh1980]

BOMBS AWAY!

[TheCrew07]

He sure does like pitches up the zone... that was a bomb.

 

edit. Whenever he swings and misses at one of those I always think of that exchange from "A League of Their Own"... "Lay off the high ones... I like the high ones!" or something to that effect.

[Gobias Industries]

Man, if he was a man and ate meat, Prince could actually have more than warning track power.

[trwi7]

Eep. Come on Torres, get out of the error filled jam.

[rluzinski]

Why heck is Shouse warming up? There isn't a LH batter in sight. Why is Kendall throwing balls into the stands?

 

This sucks.

[JET15]

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr, Billllly, what the

[trwi7]

Ugh, our defense felt bad for the D'Backs defense so we want to give it back to them.

[DougJones43]

As Bill Schoeder was saying, Billy Hall is a MUCH better fielder than Russell... http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/eyes.gif

 

 

[EinhornIsFinkle]

I'm glad we upgraded our defense.
