Haven't hit a home run yet this year? Feeling powerless against the long ball blues? Come on over to Miller Park in Milwaukee, WI. We can fix you up for little or no charge. Get homer happy in Milwaukee, WI. You'll be glad you did!

Macha finally decides to pull Parra. Great. So we go throw out DiFelice, who has struggled a bunch recently? Yeah...might as well expect a tie pretty soon.

Luxair Pick: Bill Hall...Can't they just swap those cards out? On a day like today, the person stands a really good chance.

Just realized Parra has the 14th highest BABIP of all time for pitchers with over 200 IP. He'll probably move into 12th or 13th after this game.

So I had to go look at this list, of the 13 pitchers that are worse than Parra in this regard, no less than 10 retired before the year 1900. The other three have played most of their career in this century, and one of them is former Brewer Dana Eveland

That goes for his last two homers actually. I'm pretty sure his only homer last year was thanks to the short porch in Houston as well.

Just to clear this up. Kendall hit 2 homers last year. The first of which went off the foul(fowl) pole on the short porch and the second was at home against the Reds. So, 2 of his last 3 homers were thanks to the short porch in Houston. I swear Kendall might get double digit homers if he played for Houston, and he played as much as he plays for us.

Gonzalez seems to have the old George Brett/Wade Boggs/Barry Bonds strike zone. If we doesn't swing at a 2-strike pitch, it will be called a ball.

 

I'm not watching the game, but gameday had the last pitch a few inches off the plate in that at bat

I guess you've got to give them for making this interesting...My pride was hoping that they could pick up a game on the Cubs...C'mon bullpen/defense.

Unbelievable!

what happened, for those of us following gameday and the IGT

 

Lopez goes back to catch a pop up to end the inning. Drops it, runner scores. Inning still going.
