6.1.06 Brewers (Bush) @ Pirates (Maholm) 11:35 AM CST

[Team Canada]

These pirates are suspicious.

 

Apparently they were just causing a distraction while the sign-stealer rushed into position. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

[happydays1950]

play under protest.

[Ralph Wiggum]

Sure, they got so frustrated that they couldn't steal signs that they started breaking stuff. That's like the Twins manager in Major League III planning an "electrical malfunction" right when the opposition was making a comeback.

[badgerfan.tgf]

Should've throw to second.

[jloos19]

Hart has a cannon, I'm surprised he threw that to the plate.

[craigharmann]

I think Corey was trying to show what kind of a cannon he has.

 

You want tickets to the gun show?

[Rob]

Throw the ball to 2nd!

[davemakovec]

Time to see if that sign-stealer will help the pitcher get a hit...

[jloos19]

1st and 3rd, no outs, giving up only one run there is acceptable.

[davemakovec]

A question to those who have Gameday up: how did Rickie Weeks steal a base without getting on base?

 

Also, why do the Brewers batters keep swinging immediately? I'm seeing a lot of one-pitch and two-pitch outs.

[jloos19]

Hmmm... maybe Corey Hart should play a little more?

[Ralph Wiggum]

Hey, the Brewers are beating a young, soft-tossing lefty on a crappy team!

 

Has someone checked Hell for icicles yet?

[Rob]

Corey is going to be a good one.

[TauPentaRei]

(chant with me)

 

Gehrig, Gehrig, Gehrig...

 

See ya Jenks.

[brewers19]

Brady was on first and Rickie grounded into a force out at second; then stole.

I'm guessing he hit into a fielder's choice.

[jloos19]

Well, I guess he's not perfect...

Weeks hit into a fielder's choice in the 3rd. He then stole 2nd during Cirillo's AB that inning.

[Rob]

never mind about corey...

Just a TAD ungrateful to the longest tenured Brewer, don't you think?

[TauPentaRei]

DFA

[davemakovec]

Curses. This is why the Brewers have had trouble getting into the Pittsburgh bullpen: Paul Maholm just got through that inning on five pitches.

 

Edit: Rickie had that fielder's choice, I forget.

[TauPentaRei]

That's funny, the tenured professors are usually the ones that get away with doing the minimum because their job isn't in jeopardy.

[jloos19]

That was a great play by Rickie! And of course, the Pirate announcers make that play seem like a routine play, as opposed to that Sanchez play last night, which every 3rd baseman in the minors would have made.

[PeaveyFury]

So how do you explain Carlos' major slump as well?

 

Seriously, if Hart can show the brain trust that he's good to go, then Carlos is as good as gone.
