2009-04-21 Brewers (Parra) at Phillies (Moyer): 6:05 PM CDT [Brewers lose, 11-4]

[eanelson4]

Why pull Parra now? He was actually coming around and pitching pretty well...

[tristarscoop]

Weeks is out? Anybody hear anything about that yet?

On that infield hit between him & JJ, JJ's shoulder clipped Rickie in the jaw... the same jaw hit while batting last week.

Ahh, didn't see that play. Thanks for the update. Did it look serious or just in need of a rest today?

BA just said Weeks left with dizziness.

[trwi7]

I think it's weird the Rock has claimed more than once this season that we have a young infield. I mean, yeah, we have no 10 year veterans, but each of those infielders has multiple full seasons under their belt. It's not like they're rookies any more. It just sounds odd to my ears.

Yeah, and it's not like they're 23 years old and have three years of experience either. One is going to be 30 in late December, two others are going to be 27 in August and September respectively and Fielder's going to be 25 in a few weeks.

[tristarscoop]

Ha! Just as Rock talks about Casey McGehee's hit and patience at the plate he has to interrupt himself to say Corey Hart popped it up on and got a first pitch out.

[bucks2281]

RYAN!!

[crewcrazy]

RIGHT BACK IN IT!

 

Braun's seemingly the only one that's locked in on Moyer. Maybe he can give Hart & Co. some lessons.

[eanelson4]

Holy crap. Braun killed that ball. I'll be the pessimist and say 10 bucks that is all the offense we get this game. Any takers? http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

[razzzorsharp]

Hooray, Ryan Braun. King of Jamie Moyer!

All the Brewers really need are a few more home runs by Braun and they'll be in the lead. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

[Marc Newfield of Dreams]

Wow, what a shot that was.

 

And Prince almost pulls a Bugs Bunny and swings himself into the ground. Nice.

[tristarscoop]

So Braun showed up for the game. Anyone else going to join him?

 

Also, Prince pulled a Corey and chased an awful first pitch.

 

I'd would be great if everyone could be on the same page, just once.

[rluzinski]

Well, at least it's a game again.

Is he trying to make excuses for them? Because it's not like they really need it. Bill's made some really great stops, Rickie's been less Weeks-like and I think Craig Counsell is leading the infielders in errors, so it's a weird need to justify there.

[eanelson4]

I'd would be great if everyone could be on the same page, just once.

Come on, that would make things WAY too easy http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

[eanelson4]

So we took Parra out (who was cruising after that terrible first inning) for this? 2 walks and a wild pitch?

[Team Canada]

Good grief, you're a professional pitcher, you should be able to throw strikes. Cmon guys.

[razzzorsharp]

Howard and Rollins, no hits. The rest of the team besides Moyer has one.

 

Also, please continue to walk Moyer Julio, that always seems to work out.

[eanelson4]

Good God. I want to throw the remote at my TV right now. What a moron. Walk Moyer who batter .078 last year to pitch against Jimmy Rollins. Jorge Julie is a microcosm of everything wrong with this ballclub right now. I'm so thrilled that Macha put him in...

[tristarscoop]

Howard and Rollins, no hits.

You knew that was just asking for trouble, right?

[crewcrazy]

The Jorge Julio era has to be over once Hoffman's ready, right?

 

Please?

[Marc Newfield of Dreams]

Jorge doing his best to earn a free bus trip this weekend.

[bigredrobbo]

Can the great Jorge Julio experiment of 2009 be over now?

[trwi7]

After Braun hit that homer, Julio should've been sat and been replaced by a better reliever. We're back in the game at that point. Instead, Julio gives it right back and possibly more.

 

If there's any silver lining in this, it should be a fairly easy decision on who to get rid of when Hoffman returns.

[pebadger]

This is just brutal, but I can't say it's undeserved. This is a club that will flash good things, but will get beat on dribblers and weak grounders because they also do (or don't do) enough to put themselves in position to get beat that way.

[tristarscoop]

Also, how could Bill and Brian be SHOCKED that Julio hadn't pitched in 9 days?
