8/2/08 Brewers (Sabathia) at Braves (Morton): 2:55 PM CDT

The Brewers are so impatient they didn't even let Eric Karros finish talking about how impatient they are. Kinda funny, really.

haha, I was thinking the same thing.

 

 

 

Time to wake up boys!

[yount19.u]

This is not a sarcastic post. I bet if Weeks tried to bunt for a base hit, like Blanco just did with no runners on and the defense back, his average would get no worse, and likely improve if he did it all the time.

[pebadger]

C'mon guys. Look at the less-than-stellar lineup of pitchers that have shut down the Brewers this year and tell me you couldn't see this coming.

[zelouswheeler4prez]

hopefully we can get this guy rattleed and he'll hang a curve or something, otherwise i think its going to be a loss hung on the giant 290 pound shoulders of cc sabathia

[giffted1]

CC's pitching is worth watching itself. The bats will come.

[crewcrazy]

At least Weeks made him work a bit in that AB.

 

Any guesses how this inning ends? Hardy popout to short and Braun K?

[yount19.u]

He just hung a curve to Weeks and he popped it up foul. Sheesh!

[ELCABALLO45]

Well, consider that we have...

 

Rickie Weeks

Craig Counsell

Jason Kendall

 

A struggling Corey Hart

 

Hardy starting to cool down.

 

Im really not THAT suprised at what we are seeing.

[Bruce Ciskie]

He just hung a curve to Weeks and he popped it up foul. Sheesh!

 

Are you surprised?

[TabbertBB]

Braun will size him up for a hit---all the way to second base.

[zelouswheeler4prez]

why do they keep crediting charlie morton with this brutality. its obviously the brewer offense that is handing this on a silver platter to charlie.

[BrewCityUnit]

If we lose...this will definately be the worst loss of the year. This game has only been on for 1 hour and 20 minutes and it is the bottom of the 6th.

[Bruce Ciskie]

Well, consider that we have...

 

Rickie Weeks

Craig Counsell

Jason Kendall

 

A struggling Corey Hart

 

Hardy starting to cool down.

 

Im really not THAT suprised at what we are seeing.

 

Yeah, it's too bad we only have one left-handed hitter on the team.

[pebadger]

Absolutely pathetic. Atlanta could have suited up the 80-year-old guy who pitched to Hamilton in the HR Derby and still be ahead in this one.

[ccbrew]

In play, out(s)

 

 

..has never been more painful to see than today.

[Bruce Ciskie]

In play, out(s)

 

At least you know it's only one out at a time.

[yount19.u]

Braun showed no hustle at all running to first on that last out. Granted it would have been an out 99% of the time if he ran hard to make it close, but why not? I can't remember seeing Braun so lackadaisical in his running.

[zelouswheeler4prez]

its a shame that we cc can dominate and we still can't give him one run of support. shows how much that trade pumped the players up.

[pebadger]

When is the last time the Brewers looked good on a national/semi-national TV game? The Saturday win in NY last season when they equaled their high point for last season?

[Jim Goulart]

Look, the Arizona bullpen meltdown was hideous, but it all happened without a single out being recorded and it relegated us to about 10 minutes of extreme pain.

 

This, meanwhile, is an extended period of massive discomfort in that we are all envisioning it ending as it is currently paced.

 

I feel like I'm sitting in a chair in that dungeon in "Hostel" systematically losing digits and limbs.

[crewcrazy]

why do they keep crediting charlie morton with this brutality. its obviously the brewer offense that is handing this on a silver platter to charlie.

Generally, when you don't have a rooting interest in the game, you tend to give credit to the players playing well instead of blasting the team that isn't. It's not like they haven't been talking about the Brewers' lack of patience, though...they've made a bigger deal about it than Brian and Bill ever have.

 

I'm trying not to get too worried about this game, though, as long as they're only down by 1. If Sabathia gives up a couple more sometime soon, I'll start to get a bit more nervous.

[T B0NE 10]

This should be a 0-0 game, we could be wasting a gem from Sabathia here.

 

Rickie gave them a run in the first by giving them that extra out. Its time for Durham to play over him now.

[pebadger]

The only thing that might be more painful than this would be watching both teams attempt to manufacture a run without assistance from teh other team.

[sheethead]

Karros nailed it re: Weeks just now. The time to develop players is over, its time to win ballgames.

[ELCABALLO45]

Yeah but, You almost have to accept that with this offense days like these are going to happen...

 

Again, look who is in our starting line up...

 

Weeks,Kendall,Cameron and Counsell. 4 auto outs.

 

Hart is ice cold.

 

Hardy is cooling down.

 

That leaves us the pitchers spot, Braun and Fielder.

 

The only reason we scored basically on Wed and Thur was off of solo home runs, now we are not even getting that.
