2009-04-14 Reds (Arroyo) at Brewers (Parra) 7:05 PM CDT [Brewers lose 6-1]

[Ennder]

Sadly I think that is the hardest hit ball I've seen from Braun this season.

[cheesecup22]

That last pitch to Braun looked like something he would have just crushed last year...

 

starting to get pretty concerned about him as I think health must be an issue

[dlk9s]

Sadly I think that is the hardest hit ball I've seen from Braun this season.

It's seems like eons ago that he had a couple hits in the first game and a couple doubles in the second game. Since then, 2-for-22.

[Ennder]

I think Hall is a good 3B but that is an error not a hit.

[pitchleague]

kind of sad to see some fans booing Laynce Nix. Yeah, he's a former Brewer. But just barely. Kind of classless if you ask me.

 

Still only down two, but Cordero likely in will make it tough.

[cnycerveceros]

I guess we aren't supposed to comment just comment, but I've found very little worthy of comment in this game, so I guess that's my comment. Make the 9th comment-worthy Crew!

[Ennder]

Well I'm out, just too frustrating watching the same combination of walks and bad timing every night this week. I'm going to the game tomorrow, hopefully that gives the team their mojo back.

[pebadger]

This virtually guarantees that the Brewers will score twice in the bottom of the inning.

[yount19.u]

Lance Nix, hurting the Brewers on and off the team.

[GormanHarvey]

I rest my case

[rluzinski]

Wow. Hall fully extends on a dive and gets off of a rocket of a throw a split second later. Something to cheer for!

[GormanHarvey]

I think Hall is a good 3B but that is an error not a hit.

That took a horrible hop on a ball he was already diving for. Not much you can do with that - luckily Tim O'Driscoll realized that

[GormanHarvey]

This season so far has been one big bad hop!!

[pebadger]

Jeebus. I was going to say that at least the first bad hop didn't nail him in the head.

 

It's official. The only explanation for the past 6 months in Wisconsin sports is that the Brewers made a deal with the devil at about the smae time they fired Ned Yost.

[moofnelson]

At least we won't have to watch Cordero get another save.

[yount19.u]

Can we abort the pitching staff and the start of this season? We should get one mulligan per year -- right?

[rluzinski]

Well, at least we don't have to say, "The pitching staff finally has a good game and the offense goes cold". Just a bad game, all around.

[cnycerveceros]

When I asked for a comment-worthy 9th, this isn't what I meant.

[markedman5]

This team is not much fun to watch right now.

 

Brew could really get buried here in the first month of the season with this schedule and our pitching staff.

 

I hate making a guy like Arroyo look like Cy Young out there.

[senorjerm]

Hello 1992 - 2007 Brewers, great to see you again! Can't remember the last game where you knew they were done so early. This is getting frustrating quick.

[pitchleague]

somebody predicted that Prince would get to hit a meaningless homer in the ninth of a 7-1 game. This is his chance, although it's only 6-1.

 

Go Brewers!

[HOF4canrake]

I'm not overly concerned about Braun yet. He looks like a hitter who's timing is a bit off...like he didn't have enough ABs in spring training. He had hits on off-speed stuff away in San Fran, when you don't need the bat speed. Since then, teams are coming in and he can't get the head out.

 

Villanueva is tough to figure out. Looked stellar in his 1st two outings, not so much in the last two. I'm trying to remind myself, if this bad stretch was in July, it wouldn't seem so dire.

[yount19.u]

Oh well. At least the women and children are safe.

[GormanHarvey]

Good lord - I don't know what else to say.

[nate82]

Good lord - I don't know what else to say.

When it rains it pours.
