2009-04-25 Brewers (Suppan) at Astros (Hampton): 6:05 PM CDT [Brewers win, 9-8]

[GormanHarvey]

Soon as Soup lost that battle and walked Berkman I had a feeling that Carlos would make it hurt. Wow, Prince crushed that HR and that was a boneheaded play by Rick

[Ennder]

I don't think either of these pitchers are going to make it through the lineup a 3rd time at this rate.

[cantball]

That's our defense that I know and love...

[razzzorsharp]

Weeks with an error, Soup walks Pudge after having him 0-2 and then Hampton gets a hit.

 

Thats a lot of things that had to go wrong for the Brewers right there.

[LaprilOne]

We can knock Ricky, and we should. Yet Soup walks a guy and then gives the pitcher a BP pitch. Ouch!

[cantball]

Thank GOD for Cam there...they score there,we probably end that inning down 8-1.Cause I have NO faith in Suppan stopping a big inning. And he probably wouldn't have much either.

Mike DiMuro is a bad, bad umpire. Pitch two, which was called a ball was closer to the plate than "strike three."

[GormanHarvey]

What a horsepoop call! I am quickly remembering why I couldn't stand Mike Dimuro last year

[wOOgiE22]

Wow that was a bad strike 3 call on Corey. Gameday showed that was way inside!

[bucks2281]

Ugh. Jeff Suppan. You're just a bad pitcher.

[wOOgiE22]

There is the Soup we all know and love! Gets ahead in the count and gives up a HR. Can we move DiFeliece to the starting rotation yet?

[cantball]

That was an incredibly terrible pitch to a guy without much power.

 

WOW did he kill that ball

[Ennder]

I'd love to see DiFelice in the rotation but I just don't see it happening anytime soon unless Parra continues to have control problems (which I don't think he will personally).

[wOOgiE22]

Wow Bruan smoked that ball, but like the rest of this game was an unlucky bounce off the wall.

[razzzorsharp]

I am not sure this one is in the cards tonight as everything seems to be going the Astros way.

[wOOgiE22]

The Astros are sure flashing the leather tonight. Hopefully we can find a hole and put in some runs!

[trwi7]

BILL HALL TIES IT!

[wOOgiE22]

Hey its sure nice to see Bill Hall of old! Way to tie the game Billay!

[ELCABALLO45]

Wow!! Billy Bomb!!

[SeriesFinale]

Man, the Astros' announcers didn't seem too pleased neither with the way Cam broke up that DP nor the way Billy eyeballed that one going out

 

Me, I'm OK, with it.

[Ennder]

I can live with Suppan staying in here but I think if I were manager I'd have gone to the bullpen since Suppan didn't look good the last 2 innings. One of those choices that can go either way so if it turns out poorly I won't complain. I just hope they don't let him face more than Bourn if he hits the lineup for the 4th time.

Meh, sour grapes. Too much whining nowadays.

[cantball]

The really sad thing about Soup's performance is that his ERA has dropped almost a run and a half this game.

 

 

How does that happen?

6 IP, 3 ER is a quality start too for what it is worth, our 8th in the last 9 games if I'm not mistaken.

[cantball]

That just leaves Manny to do anything to keep Coffey's arm from falling off by June. Against this Houston offense,I really am expecting him to go no less than 6
