To steal a line from MLB 09 The Show, right now I think the Marlins can't tell the difference between now and 5:30, as Looper is really throwing some BP out there. lol

[Hate those Rodents]

Thoughts on Gamel coming up?

[Vgmastr]

Good thing the Lost season finale is on tonight so I'll have something to watch.

[yount19.u]

Looper is looking like Suppan so far. This game is not fun so far.

[rluzinski]

Maybe Looper should try his luck as a reliever? http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

Thoughts on Gamel coming up?

 

How will that help Looper pitch better?

[dlk9s]

Comeback victories are more exciting, anyway.

[SeriesFinale]

It's like that crushed Upton homer marked the point where Looper reverted to what we kinda expected of him.

 

Well, hopefully he can stay settled down.

[thablingster]

Rickie Weeks is crushing baseballs. That extra muscle he put on combined with his continued growth and the slight changes to his batting stance are really paying off.

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

Looks like it's softball night in Milwaukee!!! Let's 10 run rule these guys before they do it to us.

[rluzinski]

What are the most consecutive HRs have a team has had without scoring a run any other way? I know the Brewers have done 5 at least twice but I'm guessing the record is something crazy, like 10+

[rluzinski]

An infield groundout by Kendall. Man, it's getting old.

[MillerParkSouth]

I really hope we don't get into the habit of stranding runners at 3rd base after they get there with nobody out. That already bit us hard on Sunday, hopefully it doesn't bite us tonight.

[jeffy]

Why can't FSW figure out how to keep their broadcast on when it rains?

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

An infield groundout by Kendall. Man, it's getting old.

 

No doubt...we have to send that guy to Rickie Weeks' trainer. The outfielders probably move back a few steps when the pitcher comes up after him.

[MadisonBrewerBlue]

fisher should have sent hardy on the fly to left by hart with kendall and looper coming up. rookie in left short hopped the cut off throw home

[Bernman23]

An infield groundout by Kendall. Man, it's getting old.

As is Corey not making solid contact with a runner on 3rd and less than 2 outs. Shades of the Chicago game on Sunday. Macha has to start thinking of the occasional safety squeeze (a guy like Hart could reach base off it) in these games to ensure the run, even this early in the game. Because we've seen how it can come back to bite you if you don't.

[dlk9s]

Ok, let's try this runner on 3rd with 0 outs thing again.

[MadisonBrewerBlue]

if weeks gets stranded here...........

[MillerParkSouth]

haha, well here we go Rickie! let's see if they can't cash in this time.

[EdgarDiazRocks]

who's calling the cycle?

[MadisonBrewerBlue]

wow we scored a runner from third....amazing...way to go craig

[LaprilOne]

Why can't FSW figure out how to keep their broadcast on when it rains?

 

The laws of physics. Nigh energy electrical energy (lighting) always trumps microwave relay, There is no cure.

[dlk9s]

An infield groundout by Kendall. Man, it's getting old.

And a chopper to third, no less. If you guess chopper to third or pop to shallow right with Kendall, you will be right about 70% of the time.
