2009-08-13 Padres (Carrillo) at Milwaukee (Parra) : 1:05 PM CT [Brewers win, 12-9]

[Funketown]

Wow, can't wait for MLB to put up that highlight. That sounded Branyanesque.

[dlk9s]

Seriously, Braun has not walked since July 29

I wonder if he's even had a three ball count since then.

His last AB?

[saget]

Fielder has power.

[trwi7]

Off the scoreboard right where they show the pitch speed.

[bklynbrewcrew]

That was one of the longest HRs I have ever seen. Wow was that a blast.

[trwi7]

His last AB?

I probably should've paid attention to his last AB. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

 

465 feet? What a gyp, that was at least 500. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

Rivera wants more playing time!!!!!

[bklynbrewcrew]

Good for Rivera. Of course he wont play again till Parra's next start but the guy is a decent hitter.

[WisconsinSportsRule]

Yeah, no way that baby only went 465.

[pretendastronaut]

Ueck just did his pre-game interview with him, and his quote on Escobar went something like this: "He's got good range, but he's probably gonna make some mistakes on balls hit right to him." What's the point in saying this? Guy is a really weird dude.

 

I don't normally listen to Macha's pressers, but I caught bits of his pre-game presser today on 1250. Someone asked him where RBIs were going to come from besides Prince and Braun, and he actually said, McGehee and maybe Cameron sometimes. I thought it was a really bad answer. Who says that?

I caught another bit later where he was a bit snippy with the media saying something to the effect of, "I can tell by your questions that you're questioning me and my lineups," which led to a testy exchange.

I'm not sure he's feeling to comfortable about being brought back next year. It appears to me a lot of ill-will was created yesterday.

Rivera wants more playing time!!!!!

Then he should get his hands on the same pictures Kendall has, because producing more offense doesn't seem to cut it.

[badgerfletch]

3 hits 3 HR

[afeter]

well its a six run lead v the padres. the last time the brewers had a 6-run lead v the padres, i ordered some glass nickel, cracked a heine and said to my friend, boy its going to be nice to finally just enjoy a game.

we'll see how this plays out.

[stalton]

I havnt been listening to the game, just following it online. I'm not superstitious but maybe the brewers don't want me listening to Ueck

[pretendastronaut]

I think this is the third day game in a row that we've actually scored runs. And against someone making their first start?

Slump ... BUSTED!

[trwi7]

Six runs on three hits. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

[logan82]

Kind of funny to hear Rock and BA so on board with the pitcher batting 8th.

[trademark04]

Rock and BA are basically on board for everything

[trwi7]

Rivera really wants more playing time!!!!!

[stalton]

Way to Go Gerut and ruin the only hits were homeruns streak

 

You know things are rolling when Gerut hits opposite field. We could have used a couple of these runs yesterday.

[TSack27]

3 hits 3 HR

Six runs on three hits. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

And Gerut has to ruin the pattern with a wimpy little run-scoring double.

[Funketown]

Sad day for Jason Kendall. He now has a pitcher, Craig Counsell, and a backup catcher who gets less than 100 PA's a year ahead of him in HR's.

[badgerfletch]

Wow, wish I was watching this! Congrats Mike Rivera

[crewcrazy]

Wow, Rivera's just killing the ball today. Good to see after his struggles with limited PT so far this year.

[pretendastronaut]

Rivera is enraged that he didn't replace Kendall during yesterday's blood-letting.
