2010-04-06 Rockies (Smith) at Brewers (Wolf), 7:10 PM CDT [Brewers win, 7-5]

[zzzmanwitz]

Oh Rickie... how we missed you last year!

[crewcrazy]

Hey Hart hit it hard, that's good to see.

 

I missed his first at bat, how was it?

Tapped out to third, but got a reasonable cheer from the home crowd when he was introduced. I'm not convinced he would've gotten that cheer if he started yesterday, but it's a much smaller (and kinder) crowd tonight.

ie less intoxicated

Exactly what I was thinking, but I was trying to think of a nicer way to say it. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

Really, really glad Weeks is back in the lineup.

[MilBrewCrew28]

Rickie!!!! Hell of a HR right there!

[RobDeer 45]

Wow the Rockies announcers were really laying in to Gomez. I know he flipped the bat but it was almost like they were lipping off to him. When he struck out "let's see you hop around now...sorry buddy."

 

I think that is a little uncalled for and pretty unprofessional.

I think that is a little uncalled for and pretty unprofessional.

Watching the feeds from other teams really gives you an appreciation for our guys, to say the least. I think I remember there being complaints about the Colorado announcers from those of us who have been watching on MLB.TV the past couple years.

I haven't seen Wolf pitch much. Has he always gotten a lot of ground balls, or is it just a special treat tonight?

[dlk9s]

Is it me or does Helton just seem to get a hit every AB vs the Brewers.

Don't you know it.

[SeriesFinale]

Yeah, mind you, I didn't see the actual flip yesterday (not hardcore enough to watch a DVR'd loss, even on Opening Day), but that seemed a little surprising and a bit much from the Rockies' guys.

[RobDeer 45]

They seemed like they were pretty good and then that came out. I know it was a little aggressive but the kid is on a new team on opening day. Give him a break. I'd be pretty excited too.

[endaround]

Escobar never seems to get to the far side of 2B when he gets the ball. He seems to want to go straight to 1B over the bag

[YoungGeezy]

When Hart got introduced before the game I was surprised with the good reception. I personally would not boo him or any player for having health issues and a .260 and .330 OBP season. Not to mention that showed the ability to walk more. A little down season and bad spring is not worthy of booing or not to cheer for him.

SeriesFinale - Great picture of the wolf shirt at the begening by the way! Loved it.

Don't you know it.

Career .313/.395/.576 line in 352 plate appearances, so BCI2004 isn't far off. Yeesh.

[SeriesFinale]

I gotta say, I'm not a huge fan of theirs, but I've had Metallica's "Of Wolf and Man" in my head all evening.

 

He's looked pretty good tonight so far.

Special treat.

Man, he does kind of own us. I didn't know the numbers but it just seems he is always on base vs us.

 

Gotta love Wolf, 7 K's and 0 BB.

[YoungGeezy]

Another GIDP for Zaun ya think?

[zzzmanwitz]

I thought we didn't resign Kendall... ugh

[trwi7]

Gregg would've beaten that throw if the extra g wasn't slowing him down.

[SeriesFinale]

Brutal couple days for Zaun.

 

Really hope that missed opportunity doesn't come back to bite us.

[YoungGeezy]

Gal dangit Zaun!!!!!! At least he is consistant

[carniesandrubes]

Is it too late to bring Mikey Rivera back?

Those numbers are actually worse than his career line of .328/.427/.567.

And even worse than his Miller Park numbers of .298/.402/.606 in 112 PA

 

 

[SeriesFinale]

As little as I like seeing Brewers' meetings at the pitcher's mound, the site of Peterson's and Zaun's mullets coming together will keep me amused this season
