7/11/08 Reds (Fogg) at Brewers (Parra): 7:05 CDT

Manny is really coming into his own. He looks like he has dominant stuff tonight.

 

Lets get him a few more runs!

[ELCABALLO45]

Weeks swung and missed at 3 straight fastballs..

[eanelson4]

I wish we could just take Fogg to town. He left Rickie 3 fastballs at 88MPH right down the chute there and Rickie didn't hit any of them. Fogg's ERA is over 9. We should be pounding the ball...

[Ranier]

I know he's only started 5 games this year, but Fogg has bested his strikeout high by 2 and it's only through three innings.

[sargennm]

All right Corey. make 'em pay for the error.

[moofnelson]

Another frustrating night for the offense. One hit through five innings against Josh Freaking Fogg. Bleccchhh.

[Ranier]

I think Corey is a little too anxious with this whole All-star thing...his zone has really expanded recently

[derflotr]

Anyone else see Greg Stiemsma sitting behind the Reds' ball boy in the front row?

[moofnelson]

Man, Rickie Weeks is bad.

It's four innings, but yeah. Hopefully 3TO will do the trick next inning.

So I decided to take advantage of this no-strings-attached MLB.TV preview they gave out for those who voted for the All-Star final vote thingie.

 

And I can't say enough how much I hate baseball's blackout restrictions. We are getting a terrible storm right now, and my satellite just faded out (first time that's happened this spring/summer, which is amazing to me). It's about the only time I'd ever use MLB.TV to watch a Brewer game, and it's blacked out for me.

 

I just don't understand this rule. It's beyond dumb. I was hopeful baseball would take some time to address it, but they've been too busy doing whatever it is they do. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

 

Needless to say, I won't be buying the half-season deal, though this is admittedly pretty cool. I got Harry Kalas calling the DBacks-Phillies game while I wait the return of the Brewers on TV.

[Bruce Ciskie]

Pretty impressive lightning show going on here. I'm kind of surprised my power hasn't gone out.

 

I'm thrilled to see Parra continue to pitch well. Can't say enough how impressed I am by him.

[Brewcrewin07]

Once again, this team is ridiculous against terrible pitchers. Seriously, they have to be the worst team in baseball against terrible Pitchers. The question is, why??

[BrewCrewForever]

Why is a guy like Josh Fogg making us look bad?

[moofnelson]

I'm with you, Bruce. I'm outside Superior and I just lost the game, too, because of the storm. Oh, Oh, lights are starting to blink...help, help my internet is fadinngggg awwwaaayyy......

[Ranier]

This replay is so frustrating...it's definitely not going to be our pitching holding us back.

I couldn't even get mine to work - it said I'd already used the promo code and I couldn't get past that and saw no promo code on the email I received. I probably wouldn't have bought it with all the blackout restrictions but I wouldn't have minded trying it out for a week but I just can't get it to work.

[razzzorsharp]

Yeah Weeks HBP, the three sweetest letters in the English language!

[bucks2281]

Ugh, I have a feeling Weeks will get picked off.

Had the same problem. If you haven't already, just try going into the TV broadcast. It's working for me.

 

[sargennm]

Was that Vanilla Ice in a Reds hat?

[sargennm]

Patience young Braun, patience.

Thanks - I hadn't tried that previously. It did work for me.

[Samurai Bucky]

I just saw Steemer in the front row, too. I think that was Gullickson on his right.

 

I'm such a geek, I booted up the laptop to post this. Wow...

[Brewcrewin07]

Braun, for as good as he is, is the most unclutch player on this team. It's sad, but it's true. How the heck do you not hit an 85 MPH fastball right down mainstreet??
