2010-05-22 Brewers (Gallardo) at Twins (Slowey), 3:10 PM CDT [Brewers lose, 8-7, 12 innings]

[trwi7]

Braun has been an epic fail at the plate today. Two strikeouts and two double plays.

[jason21nl]

2 straight rockets by Braun for double plays..yuck

[PrinceEatMeat]

Braun 0 for 6 today. Only Brewer not to reach base. Not very good.

[WisconsinSportsRule]

Another really hard hit ball for a double play. Ugh.

[stalton]

Braun has been an epic fail at the plate today. Two strikeouts and two double plays.

although his 2 DP's were pretty hard hit "at 'em" balls

[pebadger]

Not to get back on teh luck meme, but when you look at Braun's results you can see the luck factor. Other times luck is brouht up and you just can't buy it.

 

And, on an unrelated note, cite all the stats you want, I'll still take Morneau over Prince.

[DHonks]

nice out Manny. Glad he didn't lob it again

[benji]

Good call on the Parra/Cappy guys. Bonus round if Cappy up another 40 man roster move needs to be made.

[DHonks]

they could DFA Stern (since Cain is back) or they could 60-day DL Gamel

[PeaveyFury]

Gamel could retroactively go on the 60-day DL to clear a spot for a week or two...

[Eddiehitsthefoulpole]

I would hope that it is Capuano tomorrow, but I think it might be Dave Bush.

Aww, but that'll keep Zach in AAA even longer.

[PrinceEatMeat]

I bet Wolf goes on 3 days rest tomorrow, because everyone else can go on regular rest next week cuz of the off day Monday.

[PeaveyFury]

Great inning for Parra!

 

I suppose Bush is also a possibility tomorrow... good call AKA augie.

[thablingster]

Good job Manny. With Manny not pitching tomorrow, they could send Estrada down (if he has any options left?) for Capuano, or they could send Estrada and Stetter out for Capuano and Braddock. lol

[hawing]

I bet Wolf goes on 3 days rest tomorrow, because everyone else can go on regular rest next week cuz of the off day Monday.

I wouldn't totally object to that, if only because we are attending Tuesday's game and I'd like to see someone other than Wolf or Bush start.

[thablingster]

Depending on how long they're going to hold Hoffman out for, they could find some tiny reason to DL him if they really need to clear a spot.

[GormanHarvey]

Halions strike zone is brutal

[TheCrew07]

Why would they put Gamel on the 60 DL? He's been playing since Wednesday.

I guess it's beyond time for this, but better late than never?

Just realized that this is the first time I ever remember Macha trying to win the game rather than just assuming things even out over 162 games. Yost tended to worry about each battle (game), whereas Macha normally doesn't care about the battles, only the war (season)

[thablingster]

Why would they put Gamel on the 60 DL? He's been playing since Wednesday.

They can make it retroactive so he'd still be able to come off within a couple weeks.

[PeaveyFury]

Why would they put Gamel on the 60 DL? He's been playing since Wednesday.

 

He's currently on rehab assignment and could stay as such for another week pretty easily.

[TheCrew07]

Ya I get that, but what exactly is the point of that when they can DFA anyone they want in AAA?

[Schlitz001]

Mmmmm, grilled cheese.
