In pretendastronaut's apparent absence, I'll at least start the thread.

 

Get back on the bike, Brewers, and try for 1-0 for tonight.

Kendall and Counsell hitting 1-2 is just unbelieveably bad.

 

Edit: It's dark and scary when you're in the chat alone *hint, hint* http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

[hawing]

Even more than two in the chat wouldn't be a crowd.

 

Nice first, Mike Burns.

[ClubLevel]

ugh the picture quality (and color) for these WMLW games is just awful

[owbc]

Good start tonight, looks like the bats have decided to be alive for a few days.

[sdcheezhd]

No RBI posted for Braun but since it's an earned run it's got to be right? I think you don't assume an out at the plate just like you don't assume a DP.

[sauveb]

Since Counsell stopped on his way to the plate, there can't be an RBI.

[sdcheezhd]

Thanks, wasn't clear from Ueck's call that he stopped. I guess you don't assume the out or the advance and the run would have scored on Fielder's hit making it earned.

[sauveb]

Exactly.

Kendall leading off again, really? http://www.runemasterstudios.com/graemlins/images/puke.gif

[owbc]

I like to think of Kendall as the #10 hitter.

[BrewCrewForever]

Well the one thing I like about Kendall leading off is less chances to hit into a double play. Counsell batting 2nd is fine by me. And I kind of like Hardy in the 8 hole, a little pop there.

[razzzorsharp]

It feels like the Brewers should have more than two runs tonight.

[owbc]

Now they do!

[Schlitz001]

Kemp gets a lot of praise for his defense, and he does make some nice plays, but I still think he's overrated.

[sdcheezhd]

Now both runs in the 1st are unearned so I guess they do assume the out, just when we had it all figured out.

If Burns is safe, they hit for the cycle in descending order in consecutive ABs.

[trwi7]

Now both runs in the 1st are unearned so I guess they do assume the out, just when we had it all figured out.

Not sure how both of them are. Even if you assume Braun's out, then Fielder comes up with a single as the next hitter and drives in Counsell and there would've been two outs. So there should be at least one earned run in that inning.

[crewcrazy]

This game's moving along at a snail's pace, but I do like the patience being shown so far. Burns has been pitching surprisingly well, too. I'm just sad to see Weaver make an early exit.

[sdcheezhd]

They must have assumed Counsell was out, so Fielder's hit just advances Braun and then both are stranded when Cameron goes out.

[Bruce Ciskie]

Watching the race and tracking the game on ESPN.com, and on the Burns hit, they had this up...

 

M Burns singled to left, J Hardy scored, M Burns out stretching at second.

Gave me the mental image of Burns standing off second base doing some stretching exercises, which made me chuckle.

[BrewCrewForever]

Alright Burns big inning here. Get through 5.

[uwmbrewers]

kendall should have been safe. ump called it out cause he thought it was a forced out.

[razzzorsharp]

Furcal with a HR after being K'd. Nice.

[BrewCrewForever]

Come on Burns.
