8/4/08 Brewers (Parra) at Reds (Arroyo): 6:10 PM CDT

[trwi7]

Seriously Ned, I don't care if Kendall wants to play everyday. Sit his unproductive ass on the bench you buffoon.

[Bruce Ciskie]

Well, Cameron and Kendall both ripped the cover off the ball. As usual.

[owbc]

RISP tracker: 0-2

[wibadgers23]

Kendall followed by the pitcher = two automatic outs at this point.

[Bruce Ciskie]

Don't beschmirch the hitting prowess of Manny Parra!

[markedman5]

So if Arroyo is tough on righties but gets killed by lefties (as Rock and Anderson have stated) then why are Branyon and Durham on the bench tonight ?

 

I mean its not like Weeks/Hardy are tearing the cover off the ball or anything...........

You should ask the manager. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

"Flow of the game."

 

Congrats to Manny on recording his 100th strikeout of the season last inning.

Don't forget about Cameron and Hardy! That's 5 automatic outs in a row!

[markedman5]

I don't have the ops figures but lefties are hitting .317 against him and righties still a respectable 280.

 

The big thing with Arroyo are his home road splits. He is decent at home and horrible on the road.

 

As usual we don't get the whole scoop from our announcing team.

[trwi7]

Can we PLEASE bench Weeks?

[yount19.u]

Can we PLEASE bench Weeks?

 

But he's doing so well since the break. By doing well I mean he's good at making outs.

Any chance we get Braun in here?

[Bruce Ciskie]

Any chance we get Braun in here?

 

Virtually 0.

[trwi7]

Any chance we get Braun in here?

The chances were about 1% before Hart made that out. Now there's no chance.

[yount19.u]

Start having your team bunt, Ned!

[owbc]

That makes 0-5 with RISP

[endaround]

Yeah, Fielder should have bunted! Or Hart with the infield in! Or how about Counsell!

[yount19.u]

That was not close to being a strike. I guess the ump figured we wouldn't get a hit anyway so just cut the inning short.

[Glennron]

That might actually be the worst called strike 3 I've seen all year, wow.

[razzzorsharp]

Parra looking really "good".

[owbc]

Did Counsell argue? I don't think I've ever seen him protest anything.

 

Ump: Strike 3, you're out!

Counsell: Excuse me sir, could you please reconsider that call? I know you have a tough job and it was probably a strike, but I really would like another chance to hit the ball

Ump: No

Counsell: Oh gosh...have a nice day Mr. Umpire.
