KOTTARAS GO BOOM!!!

[trwi7]

Wow. Kottaras crushed that one.

[sargennm]

Good for George, but before anyone says it: No Kottaras should not start more.

[Marc Newfield of Dreams]

The Anti-Zaun.

[pitchleague]

Kottaras with a bomb? When it rains it pours! Who was that prognosticating genius before the series in PITT started? And That? Casey?

[And That]

I will take full credit for anything good that George Kottaras does.

[Schlitz001]

So were on pace for a 16-0 4 hour long game? Count me in.

[milwaukeesportsfan]

Uecker - "We see some movement in the Pirates bullpen. Pitchers are jumping over the fence heading home." Awesome.

[trwi7]

Gomez looked terrible in that at bat.

[Buckylovesbeer]

Braun has got to be on pace to drive in 200 runs..........

[And That]

The Brewers' pythagorean record is going to be 15-0 before the end of this series.

[logan82]

I am loving that play the outfielders in the gap defense.

[RayKingsForemanGrill]

Yeah, but it also doesn't feel like a guaranteed out when he's at the plate. So...

I am in the middle of class and that almost made me laugh out loud. Gotta love Uecker.

 

[sargennm]

Yeah, but it also doesn't feel like a guaranteed out when he's at the plate. So...

Zaun has been a .700+ OPS guy that last five years. He's going through a slump right now. He will be better. I don't understand the hyperventilating about his performance thus far.

He's 38 years old. He is ready to fall off the proverbial cliff in terms of MLB production.

[sargennm]

11 games and 45 at bats isn't enough to prove he has.

[And That]

Wolf is out of the game, and I think Inglett will stay in for Weeks.

[monkeyman343434]

why wear out Wolf here? can't vargas, parra, or narveson get some innings here? and throw Geret out in RF so he sees the field? or even put Inglett in at 2B for Weeks?

[pitchleague]

augh, Ueck was in the middle of his story about Dick Groat's wig and the audio cut out again!

 

 

and now it's back 1/2 an inning later. Jeez.

[Ennder]

His stats don't really look like age related decline as much as someone just not showing his normal plate discipline. His K% and BB% are way down, I think he just needs to relax and pick better pitches to swing at more than anything. Those are pretty typical looking stats for an early season slump. I wouldn't call him done just yet.

[monkeyman343434]

nevermind, yahoo was telling me Wolf was hitting for himself

[sheethead]

11 games and 45 at bats isn't enough to prove he has.

 

I never said it has been proven, but it certainly can be anticipated.

[And That]

Gomez just walked for the second game in a row... APOCALYPSE!

[sargennm]

Gomez ... Walks ... (calling Hell to see if it has frozen over/calling Green Bay to see if Ted Thompson is trading up tonight).
