2009-04-22 Brewers (Looper) at Phillies (Blanton): 6:05 PM CDT [Brewers win, 3-1]

[GormanHarvey]

Gameday says Blanton loves to face a Four Seam Fastball and he hates to face a Four Seam Fastball. Joe Blanton is a complex man.

that always cracks me up when it says stuff like that. says the same thing about soriano last i checked. he definitely loves it when it comes via suppan

[hawing]

J.J., I apologize for not getting out your player jersey tee sooner this season.

[PeaveyFury]

Is Braden Looper our 'stopper' this year?

 

Great acquisition so far.....

[Marc Newfield of Dreams]

WHEW!

 

That was an adventure.

[razzzorsharp]

6 IP, 0 ER, and 2 walks (both to Howard). Nice day so far.

[sheetswannabe]

I like Looper. Thats a fact, used to dislike him quite a bit last year but he wasnt in Brewer blue.

[GormanHarvey]

Nice outting Braden! Now do your job bullpen and throw strikes, especially strike one!

[WisconsinSportsRule]

Atta boy Mark, got out of that inning 3 up 3 down.

[pretendastronaut]

So who comes on to close? Coffey I assume?

So who comes on to close? Coffey I assume?

With Howard due to lead off the Philly 9th, I suspect Stetter may start the last inning and see how things go from there (but have the Coffey warm)

 

Edit: Nevermind, it's Coffey to start with

I hope I'm wrong but I have this bad feeling that Todd Coffey will have his 1st poor performance in a Brewer uniform in what will be his debut in a traditional save situation.

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

Coffey Time!!! C'mon Todd...don't let the bright lights fool you. Let's untuck this thing.

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

Bill Hall a defensive sub? My how things change.

[Marc Newfield of Dreams]

Wow that ball carried. Come on Todd!

[Mr QL]

nooooooooooooooooooo todd coffey's first run

[razzzorsharp]

Werth with a solo shot after Howard swung at ball 4. For some reason, I almost like that is was a HR instead of a 2B, no need to worry about baserunners.

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

Somewhere out there Earl Stephenson breathes a sigh of relief...now let's get the W.

[Brewer Fever]

I think Feliz was out.

[Marc Newfield of Dreams]

Billy throws that normally its ballgame. Just hope it doesn't haunt them.

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

He was out, but what was the softball toss from Billy?

[Tailgat0r76]

I too think Feliz was out.

 

Anyone else think Billy thought there was 2-outs at first? He was casually flipping it to second, and then made a quick jerk to toss it harder it seemed. Could be the difference of an out or not at first...

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

Agree with Schroeder...bad call by Kendall.

[Brewer Fever]

Just win the dang game guys. Us fans have been through too much to lose one after a mispalyed DP ball to end it and a missed call at 1st by the ump to top it off.

[hurricanecrush]

Nice game boys.

[Brewer Fever]

Woohoo! ESPN MLB Gamecast has the Brewers chances of winning this game at 100%.
