2010-06-06 Brewers (Parra) at Cardinals (Garcia), 7:05 PM CDT [Brewers win, 4-3, 10 innings]

[jjkoestler]

Tough break for Manny. The pitch Rasmus hit out was a good pitch.

[GB12]

It would have been a really difficult/amazing catch, but I too thought he was going to get it.

[BrewCrewForever]

Parra pretty impressive thus far.

[Funketown]

Have the announcers even mentioned the team the Cardinals are playing against?

Yeah, they just mentioned that the Brewers trail it 3-1.

[BrewCrewForever]

The Brewers just allow way to many steals. They can't control the running game whatsoever.

[jjkoestler]

Manny is dealing. 7ks already.

[BrewCrewForever]

Jeez, a strikeout and they can convert the out. This could come back to bite us in the behind. Kottaras has to block that pitch.

[TheCrew07]

Kottaras seems to let quite a few balls get through his legs... man that stinks.

[BrewCrewForever]

Holy cow, Parra 9 K's. Straight dealing.

[Hofbraunhaus]

Kottaras was just trying to help Parra's strikeout numbers

[GB12]

Jeez, a strikeout and they can convert the out. This could come back to bite us in the behind. Kottaras has to block that pitch.

He just wanted to help Manny pad his stats.

[TheCrew07]

If Parra started every game against STL he'd win the CY.

[uwisfan]

4 Ks in one inning.. nice

[Funketown]

That reminds me of the time Sheets struck out three straight on 9 pitches and then the (Astros?) pitcher (Oswalt?) struck out four in an inning later in the game.

 

Nice work by Manny.

[bucksman4]

I like how Manny is going right after hitters here tonight. Seems very, very confident throwing all of his pitches. He teases us with games like this -- if only he did this consistently.

"BP" Bushy may have already given up 7 runs by now if he was pitching...

[uwisfan]

was gomez a bit gimpy on that?

[packfan79]

It seems like Gomez hits a ton of balls off his foot, is it the way he swings or just being unlucky?

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

Have the announcers even mentioned the team the Cardinals are playing against?

Yes, the Washington Generals

[BrewCrewForever]

I to am impressed by Parra with how he is attacking hitters and not nibbling to death. I hope this isn't a tease and is more of a coming of age game for Parra.

[crewcrazy]

First time Manny's had 9 K's in a game since 2008, when he did it twice in the span of a couple weeks. His highest K totals:

 

9 - 7/20/08 @ SF

9 - 8/10/08 vs WAS

8 - 8/1/07 vs NYM

8 - 6/4/08 vs ARI

8 - 5/1/09 vs ARI

8 - 5/12/09 vs FLA

8 - 9/25/09 vs PHI

[Rhett16]

Wow, the good Brewers actually showed up tonight. This is a rare treat, I'd like to see more of this, please.

[sfl2hnq17]

i hate it when hitters watch strike three with two outs and the bases loaded. swing the bat if its close, who knows what can happen.

[packfan79]

Manny has been impressive so far throwing lots of strikes tonight and working quick. I'd like to see this Manny the rest of the year.

[TheCrew07]

Run Parra as long as you can then go to Braddock to finish whatever is left?

[sfl2hnq17]

if parra gets through this inning that would be awesome.
