07/18/06 Brewers (Ohka) @ Giants (Wright) 9:15pm CST

I really like what Ned's doing with Billy, putting him down in the 7 hole. That way we always have a guy who can drive in runs at the bottom of the order, and his low OBP doesn't hurt quite as much.

[fondybrewfan]

Prince now has 3 consecutive multiple hit games, I think he is outta that funk

[steve267268]

Why... WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY is Billy trying to take 3rd? A base hit definitely scores him.. Maybe they wanted him to steal 3rd and then were going to pull off a squeeze.. who knows.. but taht was stupid.. now we have Ohka leading off the next inning as well.

[fondybrewfan]

I dont necessarily blame Hall there, the #8 was up and they would likely pitch carefully to him anyways, why not take the chance andd get to third in hopes of a flyball somewhere, even if they then walk Miller, at a minimum we clear the pitcher, the donwside of course is getting thrown out, dont like the play but dont hate it either

[jloos19]

All errors are bad, but that error gets Wright out of the way for the 5th inning.

 

EDIT: Now Wright gets a hit, this could be trouble.

They were just talking about Robin Yount as part of the AFLAC trivia question. As soon as they showed him on camera, this happened:

 

Play By Play Guy: "There's Robin."

Color Commentator: (in a very low and focused voice) "Awesome."

[jloos19]

Color Commentator: (in a very low and focused voice) "Awesome."

 

I love San Francisco's announcers. They always seem to know what they're talking about, and they're good for a chuckle once in awhile. I make sure to watch a few of their games on MLB.TV every year.

[steve267268]

I don't know how to explain these guys.. They have that loveable idiot tone, but then they are knowledgeable too.

 

Then there is the fact that i'm very used to hearing them on MVP baseball.

 

I'm still waiting to hear, "He's so strong, he don't even know his own strength."

[MillerBombers]

These baserunning decisions are killing us.

[jloos19]

That's two outs on the basepaths now, I am getting a bit perturbed.

[steve267268]

Winn got very very lucky there.

[steve267268]

Dangit Carlos.

[fondybrewfan]

Ohka has been pretty darn good considering the circumstances. Wouldnt suprise me if that was his last inning though, pitch count gettin up there

[steve267268]

Anyone else think that Turnbow could blow Bonds away on fastballs alone?

 

Me either, let's score some runs.

[fondybrewfan]

Prince is just in a ridiculous zone right now, he aint ready to give up ROY just yet.

[fondybrewfan]

We need to break it open right here, need to get these guys in

[And That]

Is Wright finally about to blow up? If you don't walk three or four times in 5-6 innings against Jaime, you just aren't trying.

[steve267268]

freaking MLB.TV always cuts out at crucial times..

[Weirdos19]

Shouse better be designated to face Bonds tonight. Don't wanna see Turnbow at all.

 

By the way, did anywone think that Turnbow should've gotten some work in the last two nights? He needs to iron a few things out.

[jloos19]

He came in the ninth on Sunday against the DBacks.

[jloos19]

Great first start for Mr. Tomokazu.

[steve267268]

If Gross is out there that's an out at the plate.

[PeaveyFury]

That was a pretty horrible pitch call by Miller, as Alou was clearly sitting fastball, and that was a meatball of a pitch.

 

I thought Miller tagged the runner going by at the plate, FWIW.

[Riebes24]

Is there any other team in the league that would be forced to bring in a Geremi Gonzalez-type in that situation? I don't care how well he's pitched recently.

[jloos19]

Is Shouse really the right guy to bring in for this situation?
