I don't care what anyone says - Hall has been magnificent at 3rd so far this year. You can definitely tell the dropped weight is helping him in the field. Sweet turn by Counsell too

 

I'm flipping channels between the Crew and Deadliest Catch. My comment is: Let's give Billy some soak time and we'll see what we have in June.

[polwonks]

probably best that Brad stays silent based on that scintillating exchange

[yount19.u]

Now would be an excellent time for Nelson's first hit of the year.

[rluzinski]

How about Macha calls on Weeks here? There is NO reason to have Nelson face a lefty with the game on the line.

 

EDIT: Thank you.

Nice! I got the Season 5 premier rollin on the DVR while I watch the game

Wish granted Russ...

[Ennder]

I like that he countered with Weeks here. Yost never seemed willing to waste a hitter like that but to me leaving in a bad matchup is wasting an opportunity.

[yount19.u]

Never mind. Let's save that hit for another time. Go Rickie!

[TooLiveBrew]

Macha showing Nelson as the batter... wait... Dusty! Noooo!

EDIT: Of course. Double play.

[GormanHarvey]

This team is cursed!!!

[B2k1121]

Would it be possible for one thing to go right this season? That was ball 4 and was probably a base hit if they weren't positioned perfectly.

[Ennder]

Yeah it really does feel like they are cursed. Every night they do just enough to lose but are in every game the entire night and just can't catch a break.

 

That last Cubs game says it all, their starting RF gets hurt and the backup pulls back a grand slam that the other guy would have never caught and we lose. Even something that should be positive costs us in the long run.

[rluzinski]

It's amazing how deflating this season has already been and we aren't even 5% in.

[polwonks]

is it still possible to e-mail the booth? like to see if they'd comment on Braun's health Edited April 14, 2009 by polwonks

[Ennder]

Kendall better find his mechanics again becuase without the good CS he just isn't that useful of a player. He is throwing hard enough still but everything is sailing high on him.

[SeriesFinale]

Here we go again!

 

HBP-R or BB-R? You know it's gonna be one (at least!) of them!

[yount19.u]

I would like to know if there is a strong correlation between walk rates and IQ. These pitchers know what happens when you walk guys and some continue to do it.

[owbc]

I can't believe that we are this much worse than last season. There is no way this continues.

 

I feel bad if the bad pitching continues, since Bill Castro is likely to take the blame.

[thablingster]

I am slightly frustrated, yet I'm not angry, or upset, or even panicking. I am not sure what is wrong with me http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/laugh.gif.

 

It is looking like a BB-RBI, Series.

[SeriesFinale]

When I heard that crack, I thought yesterday was repeating itself.

 

I'll take it, Big Red

 

Now let's get something across here

[GormanHarvey]

Is it bad that I hope we have already tied that game by the time Braun gets up because I know he won't do anything?

[TooLiveBrew]

Only need a couple

[Ennder]

The sad thing is when we miss the playoffs by 2-4 games this year we can point to this rotten first 8 games as a huge reason why it happened.

[polwonks]

low and away puts Corey away

[GormanHarvey]

Am i the only one that cannot understand a word Corey Hart says? He sounds like Brad Pitt in Snatch.
