2010-04-15 Brewers (Suppan) at Cubs (Zambrano), 1:20 PM CDT [Brewers win, 8-6]

Soup's bringing gas, baby!

[The Truth]

Im a little late, but did anyone say why Gomez is not in center today and Gerut is starting?

Essentially Gerut needs a start. Macha would rather go with Edmonds over Gomez vs a "tough right hander". So far thats working out pretty well

 

 

[jjkoestler]

Marlon Byrd crushes one towards South America

According to JSOnline Macha was getting left handers in the lineup to face Zambrano.

[trwi7]

Wow. I could have hit that one out.

[The Truth]

And we are now back to the 1.00 ERA per inning

[Schlitz001]

Darn, it really to look like Suppan was settling in.

[bucksman4]

Yup "settling in" to his normal self.

[pretendastronaut]

You know, if you're a fan of the opposing team, watching your team play the Brewers is probably a pretty entertaining game.

[sheethead]

Guess I was a few minutes off on that prediction. I didn't see the HR, was it legit?

[bucksman4]

A part of me wanted to see Suppan get absolutely shelled today to make a point of how foolish Melvin and Co. are putting him in the rotation because of $$ but the fan in me NEVER wants to lose to the Cubs.

[endaround]

Suppan's cooked

[davemakovec]

Soup did get squeezed on a couple of pitches there, but it seems like he's falling apart/being Jeff Suppan otherwise.

 

Also something for my fellow bf.netters to consider: Marlon Byrd: Brewer Killer?

[GoudaBrew]

The wheels have fallen off the Soup train.

[jjkoestler]

Guess I was a few minutes off on that prediction. I didn't see the HR, was it legit?

Um yeah, he hit it about 450 feet.

It was a Sosa + roids HR. He crushed it.

[PrinceEatMeat]

Guess I was a few minutes off on that prediction. I didn't see the HR, was it legit?

Um yeah, he hit it about 450 feet.

[cnycerveceros]

Please don't let this jerk get an RBI.

[sheethead]

Um yeah, he hit it about 450 feet.

 

Aw that's not legit, the wind helped it that last 70 feet.

[jjkoestler]

1 more inning of Soup?

[trwi7]

Ha. When they showed the replay of Byrd's HR I saw Suppan turn around and immediately thought "neck strain." http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

[WisconsinSportsRule]

Huge inning here for Suppan.

 

1 down

Suppan = FAIL

[sheethead]

9.00 ERA. That sounds about right for Suppan this year. I hope Macha has enough sense to get him out of the game now.

[Invader3K]

I figured we'd be down by four or five by now, so a tie going into the fifth isn't that bad.

[endaround]

No way would Macha let Suppan hit would he?

[endaround]

FUKUDOME!!!
