GREAT JOB BURNS!!!! You have definately earned another start!

[jjfanec]

Lets hope he can pitch like that against the Cubs. He will be going up against Lilly in the that if I am not mistaken

Tack on a few more, close this one out, and send Yo out there tomorrow.

Prince Fielder = All Star!

[PrinceEatMeat]

Prince hammered the crap outta that ball! I wanna know how far that went.

 

EDIT: 452 Feet

452 feet.

Hmm...I wonder why DiFelice gets taken out when a righty is coming to bat.

 

EDIT: Schroeder explained it. Basically, DiFelice's pitches are more prone to being jacked out of the park than Coffey's.

[BrewCrewRising]

Why not leave in DiFelice against the righty and then just have the pinch hitter in the pitcher's spot?

[razzzorsharp]

David Wright is a very good hitter, just another three hit night.

[razzzorsharp]

Well, I hope Coffery can finish this game.

[dlk9s]

David Wright is a very good hitter, just another three hit night.

It's still inexcusable for Burns to have let him hit a homer.

The problem wasn't the Home Run, it was walking the lead off hitter and falling behind 2-0 on Wright and throwing him a batting practice fastball the next pitch... Burns fell behind in the count alot against Minnesota which also got him in trouble! I am very happy he was able to turn it around tonight but I will reserve my judgement on him until he has a few more outings like this... Let's keep this in prospective as the Mets lineup is ravaged by injuries at this time... Great job by the offense tonight!!!

[trwi7]

You guys think Happy Youngster caught that?

[dlk9s]

DiFelice's pitches are more prone to being jacked out of the park than Coffey's.

Schroeder said it, not me.

BREWERS WIN!

 

Congrats on Career Win #1, Mr. Burns...I'm sure it was well worth the wait.

[trwi7]

Congrats to Burns!

 

Nice dig by Prince to end it.

Well lets keep in perspective we are in a division with a lot of offenses that are not very good right. Of the 16 NL teams Houston is 7, St. Louis is 8, Pitt is 9, Cubs are 12 and Cincy is 13 so a majority of the time he would not be facing great lineups. Now obviously the Cubs could get better.

 

It was a great job by the offense and by Burns. He allowed just 6 base runners in over 6 innings.

Brian Wilson completes a 4 out save to beat the Cards...hello, two game division lead. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

Is the magic number 83 now?

The Cubs and Cincy both lose tonight as well. Houston actually will jump ahead of the Cubs with a win tonight. The Cubs are now 4.5 games out. Cincy is 4 games out.

[owbc]

I would just like to thank McGehee and now Burns for stepping up this year when we really needed it.

Not official until there's a picture for it. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

Don't want to jinx anything But the Crew starting to look like Buyers come the deadline.

Yeah, don't want to jinx it with 3 very tough series ahead. And there isn't too much out there to "buy" anyway this year. Unless there is a deal they can't refuse, I'm fine keeping things as they are this year rather than making a bad trade just for the sake of trading.

[razzzorsharp]

Some Mets fans thought it was bush-league of Braun to take off the helmet prior to getting home on his "HR" and I kind of agree. He is really a cocky guy and a guy I would really hate if he weren't on the Brewers.
