6/27/08 Brewers (McClung) at Twins (Blackburn): 7:10 PM CDT

Turning point batter.

[pebadger]

Gotta get 1 more out. Twins pen has ben very tough lately.

[Bruce Ciskie]

Before someone says it, no, Braun would never have thrown Mauer out at the plate had he caught that ball. No way. Not sliding like he did. And he had to play deep to cut off the alleys.

[Bruce Ciskie]

Are we going to let McClung completely blow this lead, or bring someone else in to do it?

[crewcrazy]

I hate fake turf. No way that sneaks into centerfield if it bounces on real grass.

Imagine how quickly it would have gone on the old Dome turf. That stuff was like painted asphalt.

In my opinion McClung was left in at least one batter too long there. If the Brewers wanted Carlos in for Kubel (but the HBP didnt give him enough time), why not bring him in against the next batter then. oh well at least they still have the lead.

I don't think McClung pitched all that bad tonight. For sure not one of his better outings, but not awful. A few of those hits were kind of cheap.

 

Man Rickie 3 K's tonight, looks lost up there.

He was pretty terrible. Two homeruns given up, a hard hit double to Mauer, falling behind batters constantly. Just an awful game for McClung.

i agree. he had a few bad breaks but definitely pitched poorly.

[razzzorsharp]

Tough game for McClung but as a small excuse for him, the zone was pretty tight. Hopefully he bounces back next start.

[BrewCrewForever]

Seems so long ago since Ryan's last HR.

[pebadger]

Crew needs more runs, or this will proabably end badly.

[datrain711]

i have a very uneasy feeling about this game

[BrewCrewForever]

Man Fielder got hot before the Atlanta series and now can't buy a hit. Hopefully he can shake it off.

[pebadger]

If Weeks is lost, what is Prince? Sure he got robbed last time up, but it's not like that was a rope that he hit, either.

[LaprilOne]

Seems so long ago since Ryan's last HR.

...and Prince's last hit

Me to, I doubt 6-5 will be the final score of this game.

Anyone have the MLB.com TV pkg? How come when the Brewers are on the road I have to listen to the away announcers. Is there any way to get the local guys? thanks

How many times have we said that about Rickie? "...looks lost up there." I can't wait until Weeks is wearing the uniform of another team. I've been pulling for him to become a consistently good hitter but it looks like it won't ever happen. I think it's time for Milwaukee to go in a different direction at second base. It probably won't happen until the off-season, though.

[sheethead]

That kind of lame baseball has won the Twins multiple Worlds Series and even more division titles in the time it has taken the Brewers to put up 2 winning seasons.

Are you referring to the Homer Hankie years? Or was it the homerdome? I missed it when they called them the buntmeisters.

 

[bbaehman]

Trouble

[pebadger]

A better slide and he's safe.

[datrain711]

what a throw.

 

come on shouse get us out of here

[markedman5]

Fantastic throw by Braun.
