Nice inning for Carlos.

[razzzorsharp]

BA, "Great Beard."

 

That is the kind of observation that gets him the TBS job.

[ilovebeer]

I wasn't all that listing to ba, who did he say has a great beard?

[razzzorsharp]

A random Brewer fan.

[ilovebeer]

ok thanks

[GormanHarvey]

Nice pitch to hester

[Schlitz001]

BA, "Great Beard."

 

That is the kind of observation that gets him the TBS job.

I wonder if that was the same guy that Mark Grace was calling a wooly booger on the Arizona feed. Mark Grace is such a good partner for Daron Sutton.

[endaround]

Brian Anderson obviously got the TBS job by thinking every single fly ball is a home run

[GormanHarvey]

Was just going to say the same thing endaround

[ilovebeer]

nice inning, Todd

[ilovebeer]

are old friend Bob Howery is in to pitch.

[jjkoestler]

Nice catch Cole

[ilovebeer]

Ok ladies and gentlemen, its time to put your seat belt on, its Trevor time.

[stalton]

Is it me, or was that the 3rd diving catch to rob us of a hit

Heckuva grab by McGehee!!!! Nice save for Hoffman, he obvisouly needed some good tidings and a great opening win to the series. GO CREW!!!! Time to get hot!

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

So funny blingster...I do the same thing!

 

Nice job by the bullpen tonight. Had to happen after starting a what's up with our bullpen thread.

 

Back to even on the road trip...not bad considering how it started.

[cnycerveceros]

Win one more to split the road trip. I'd feel pretty good about that.

[hawing]

I sort of called the DP in the chat room, with several witnesses. I'm happier to have the win than to have guessed correctly.

[pitchleague]

I don't think they've come out with a measurement yet, jj. I'm sure it will be artificially low, since we're not at home.

Maybe not, we could see exactly where it landed. It should be relatively easy to measure.

In my 10 plus years of going to games at Bank One/Chase, I have NEVER seen a ball hit onto the concourse/walkway above the left field bleachers like that. They have little "distance markers" on the walkway and in that area of Weeks' HR the distance marker says 470' or something like that. I know this for fact as I've marveled at it many times when walking the concourse, saying, "Nobody's gonna hit one up here during a game . . . "

 

I've seen them hit to the walkway in centerfield but not over the LF bleachers. Amazing.

 

 

edit: and to answer somebody else's question: Yes, all 3 D-Backs outfielders made a nice diving catch to rob Brewers of hits. Gallardo, Villanueva, and the one in the 9th inning.

[owbc]

Hit tracker has Rickie Weeks' HR at 459 feet (via ESPN box scores). That makes it the 5th longest home run of the 2010 season.

 

Edit: Here is the hit tracker map
