I think some (including myself) get a little too hung up on pitch counts but 120+ pitches every outing is just asking for trouble. 108 pitches is nothing to sneeze at.

That's the Kevin Mench I remember!

[MadisonBrewerBlue]

nice at bat from mench there

[rluzinski]

And KC just tied their game against Cardinals in the 8th, 2-2.

 

3 games back and in second place in the WC race after tonight?

[GoudaBrew]

Did Mench get a standing O?

[iluvlamp]

Rogers Counsell.

Yup and KC is now up 3-2 going into the bottom of the 8th. Go Royals!

[rluzinski]

Braun still struggling with that low-outside pitch way out of the strike zone.

[BrewCrewForever]

Rough night for Ryan. Shake it off.

 

Come on Prince!

[iluvlamp]

Come on Prince. COME ON!

[pebadger]

Braunie has, at least to my eyes, been struggling quite a bit recently. Something is definitely different in his approach since the run that got his BA up close to .300

[iluvlamp]

That certainly was 409k...

Yeah before the 3-4 last night I was thinking the same thing. Just an off night tonight, I aint worried. He has to learn to lay off that outside breaking ball. I assume he will, I just don't know when.

[iluvlamp]

Corey!

[BrewCrewForever]

Hart is just that darn good with RISP.

[rluzinski]

I can't describe how much better than insurance run makes me feel.

[JET15]

Hall still getting booed pretty soundly

[pebadger]

Yeah, I'm sure he'll be fine too. When I say struggling, I mean only by his own very high standards. Not to compare him to Tiger Woods, but a struggle for Braun at the plate seems to be better than most guys best.

[pebadger]

I don't know how much of that was Hall being booed for being Hall, and how much it was for him not being Branyan.

[owbc]

We need to get Sheets to 8-1 tonight. He deserves it.

[GB12]

Leave Branyan in darn it!

[rluzinski]

Our classy fans are booing the crap out of Hall. So proud to be a Brewer fan these days.

[pebadger]

That guy was pitching pretty tough. Don't konw that it made any difference which guy hit in that spot. Probably a good move by Ned, regardless of result.

[owbc]

Despite the initial displeasure, Hall has handled the situation great--being the first one to congratulate Branyan, says he's trying to have fun, etc...

The fans have let him know that they don't want him anymore. I applaud him for responding the way they have, I would openly demand a trade if I was him for all the sacrifices he has made.
