6/4/08 Diamondbacks (Owings) at Brewers (Parra): 1:05 PM CDT

[Glennron]

This team has no killer instinct. They've only scored 21 runs combined in the final game of each series this homestand!

[Gobias Industries]

Branyan wanted the strikeout there. Gotta improve the stats.

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

With tomorrow's day off and Benny going Friday, we might not need more than a couple relievers before Saturday.

 

Our starters have been so good lately, it caught me off guard that Ben's start has come up again so quick. Just a few weeks ago it would have been...thank god Ben's out there to give the pen a rest...and we need a win bad.

[Oldcity]

Branyan only needs a walk for another 3T0 game!

[TheCrew07]

Brewers finally have a positive run differential! Stat nerds rejoice!

I'm not sure what's going on around here, but rluz and I were thinking the same thing at the same time, weirdness ensues..

[Patrick425]

Just listening to the game at work...listening to Uecker talk about Jim Backus and I had to chime in. He didn't do any of the voices Ueck mentioned. He was the voice of Mr. Magoo. He was also great in "A Christmas Story"

[crewcrazy]

I smell a Julian Tavarez appearance this afternoon.

[Brewer Killa]

holy cow i just read through the IGT of the diamondbacks forum...

 

my 3 observations:

 

1. they turn on their team way worse than some people here do

2. they are going on and on about how awful brian and bill are. pretty much they think we have the worst announcers ever...

3. they like trenni http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

What site are you on? I like going to fan sites sometimes.

 

[jjgott]

Nice job by Manny getting through the 7th

[jhart05]

Ya' had to know it was only a matter of time before the offense picked it up.

 

I always thought once the hitting came around, that gives your pitchers some breathing room, and they would be able to relax and pitch well. Didn't think they'd pitch this well thou.

 

 

 

I was calling for his head. And I'm still not sure if he is the man for this team. But if they keep winning Ned can stay. Hard to complain when the team goes on a roll like this.

 

Yost may still not be the one to get this team to the Championship, who knows. All I know is the players like him, probably because they know he's got their back (99% of the time at least) almost to a fault sometimes, which frustrates the media and fans. But that's a manager I'd play hard for and I believe so are these guys. If you know your manager is going to fight for you, you'll fight for him.

[rluzinski]

TSack27, great post. Good analogy.

 

If one year of coaching turns a career .750 OPS hitter into a .900+ one, the entire team should take a year off. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

Tell me this game is getting replayed later???

7 tonight on FSN.

 

Except if you have DirecTV.

[JohnBriggs12]

Not to nitpick, but why is Kendall still in this game?

[patrickgpe]

best part of the day is (hopefully) the defelice and taverez can mop up and the pen will be very well rested for the rockies on Friday.

[fondybrewfan]

What is our Team ERA on this homestand? It has to be crazy low.

OK, I know what I'm doing this evening, then. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

They showed the graphic earlier, I want to say it was something like 2.12 but I might be wrong.

 

This is off topic, but does anyone here have/know where to find a Parra jersey T-shirt? I've seen a couple people at games with them, but can't seem to find one at Miller Park, Kohl's, or FanFair in Southridge Mall. I guess I should've just asked the people who had them.

[patrickgpe]

i bought mine at the fanzone in miller park. I saw them there yesterday too.

[hawing]

I am 90 percent certain I saw Parra jersey tees at the field level Fan Zone (the original store) Monday night.

(I was checking in faint hope for a Branyan tee, which I would have snapped up in seconds flat, had one been there.)

[MillerParkSouth]

well it'd be nice if Tavarez could settle down here so we can just have him go 2. he's got a nice big cushion, just get some outs!

I'm guessing it's this one.

I like how they bad mouth our announcers for spinning things in favor of the Brewers. What do they expect the hometeam announcers to do, bow down to the mighty D-backs?

[jhart05]

3 K's to end the inning.

 

How's that for "settling down". http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

[MillerParkSouth]

haha, that is exactly what i was talking about.
