2010-05-18 Brewers (Parra) at Reds (Bailey), 11:35 AM CDT [Brewers, Hoffman lose 5-4]

[trwi7]

"Home on the range in La Grange."

 

I wonder how long Brian stayed up last night thinking of that one.

[tigerbrew]

Come on offense, let's get Parra more runs.

[Gobias Industries]

He was safe.

[trwi7]

Was that seriously a hit and run on an 0-2 count?

[GormanHarvey]

I'm sure Uecker likes Davey as a person, but I can't imagine how hard it must be for him to listen to him on a daily basis. I know its awfully painful for me

[Gobias Industries]

Was that seriously a hit and run on an 0-2 count?

It was a straight steal on an 0-1 count. Looked like he just beat it.

[GormanHarvey]

For those watching on tv, how close were they to getting Gomes off 1st there?

[wibadgers23]

Just terrible baserunning by the Reds all series. Yikes.

[bklynbrewcrew]

So far so good for Manny.

[Dragonbait]

It's not Davey's analysis that's.... bad. He just can't put his thoughts into words.

[Dragonbait]

Seems like Cory really has picked up A LOT of Uek's Uekerisms.

[YoGasKpose]

It's not Davey's analysis that's.... bad. He just can't put his thoughts into words.

I agree that Davey is tough to listen to. I wonder how much of it is the format too. It's weird listening to a radio broadcast as if it were a TV broadcast. I've always liked the one guy is primarily responsible for x innings, and when both commentators are present there's no obligation to have a back and forth. I'm not saying I want Davey doing innings solo. Just that the form of the broadcast itself is awkward.

Gorman: If Prince had gone for Gomes right away he would have been easily out. Prince turned to see if he needed to throw home and Gomes just barely snuck back in.

[bklynbrewcrew]

Fielder is an absolutely pitiful first baseman.

[bklynbrewcrew]

I guess this is the inning that things fall apart.

[bklynbrewcrew]

Macha got lucky because leaving Parra in to face Phillips when he is clearly tiring was stupid.

[Dragonbait]

WHOOOOOT. Whew. As good as Cory is making it sound?

[YoGasKpose]

Woohooo! Nice Defense, corner infielders!

 

I'm feeling good about that. More runs, fellas!

[jjkoestler]

Nice play by Casey and pick by Prince.

[tigerbrew]

Yes! great D by McGehee. Parra gets out of it barely.

[benji]

Casey's defense much better lately. When Carlos is back def should improve a lot

[Funketown]

Not a great outing by Manny but he got the job done. If Estrada can come in for a solid 3 innings this should be a decent day off for the pen.

[Gobias Industries]

Parra didn't pitch too bad considering he isn't stretched out at all. Of course, great play by McG and Fielder.

[logan82]

Nice defense by McGehee to help out the other corner who missed one earlier in the inning.

[tdeggie]

Does anyone know if there is a pitch count on Estrada today?
