2010-05-16 Phillies (Hamels) at Brewers (Bush), 7:05 PM CDT [Brewers lose, 4-2]

[topper09er]

I'll kick off the Morgan bashing with his first point of the telecast, the Phillies are the best team in the NL not because of their pitching or league leading offense, it is because they compete for 9 innings.

[thablingster]

Macha received a fair smattering of boos during opening intros. Hopefully Bush can find the zone here early and give the crowd something to cheer.

[BrewCrewForever]

Not a good start, seems we have been saying that most of the year.

[BrewCrewForever]

I think I forgot what it feels like to score first in a game.

Beat goes on......2 hits and a brutal error by Weeks before Bush gets the first out.

 

I beleive we have only won 1 game this year when the other team scores first.

[bklynbrewcrew]

Bush cant throw any harder than 85 or so.

[cnycerveceros]

All things considered, not such a bad start. Maybe get a lead tonight? That would be fun.

[owbc]

28 pitches for Bush--he's either going to throw 130 or the bullpen is going to have to cover 4 more innings tonight.

[GormanHarvey]

Can we ever get through the 1st inning without at least 20 pitches

[markedman5]

How many righthanded pitchers can we name who top out at 85 and are good solid big league pitchers?

 

Maddox didn't throw hard but even he touched 89 or 90 I think.

 

Livan Hernandez comes to mind. I'm sure their are a few others but man.....85 is almost like throwing bp.

[BrewCrewForever]

Escobar with a walk! Nice.

[bklynbrewcrew]

Is there any chance that Macha doesnt accompany the team to Cincinnatti tomorrow?

[tdeggie]

Is there any chance that Macha doesnt accompany the team to Cincinnatti tomorrow?

I wish, but I don't think so. I think changes will come on Memorial Day weekend.

[BrewCrewForever]

Is there any chance that Macha doesnt accompany the team to Cincinnatti tomorrow?

I think there is a chance. Especially if they lose big tonight. But I think this team has till Memorial Day, if things are turning around by then there could be a nice shakeup. Including Macha and players.

[BrewCrewForever]

Loaded up for you Corey, do something. Please.

[BrewCrewForever]

Ooooooo, so close. Well, at least they made Hamels throw 26 pitches that inning.

[thablingster]

That sounded good off of Hart's bat, but the ball died in here with the roof closed. The scoreboard pictures are awesome today. All of the Brewers have photohopped afros with other additions (shades, chains, etc.).

[stalton]

Is it me or has Hoover killed us all series

[Schlitz001]

Hoover is a great name for a catcher, but if he starts to play bad the insults will be way to easy.

[BrewCrewForever]

Wow! Hart actually showed some really good hustle there to stop that ball from getting to the wall.

[thablingster]

Greg Zaun is already so 70's they didn't doctor his scoreboard photo!

[BrewCrewForever]

Whoa, ugly bunt there by Bush.

[BrewCrewForever]

Starting to think Rickie could use a day off. Give Counsell the start at 2B tomorrow night.

[AJAY]

Bush failed to execute the bunt. Weeks dropped a throw earlier.

 

I am not happy with the failure to do the little things.
