2010-07-22 Brewers (Gallardo) at Pirates (Ohlendorf), 6:05 PM CDT [Brewers win, 3-2]

Scouts in the stands to watch Counsell ,i hope. Ive never cared for him.

[yfinn6]

Cedeno made that a close play by sliding. Absolutely no reason to slide there, but whatever works for him, I guess.

[Beast Light]

Way to spread those fingers, Craig!

[BrewCrewForever]

Pretty sure that ball should be caught.

[trwi7]

24 HR and 46 RBI seems almost impossible.

[PrinceEatMeat]

24 HR and 46 RBI seems almost impossible.

I think it has a lot to do with the run production of Weeks, Hart, and Braun in front of him in the lineup.

That's part of it, but he's also been awful with runners on base this year.

 

Sub .700 OPS with runners on.

Sub .700 OPS with RISP

Sub .700 OPS with the bases loaded.

Sub .600 OPS with RISP and 2 outs.

 

 

[jjkoestler]

Rickie gets hit again. Amazing.

 

Fun fact: Hughie Jennings holds the single season record with 51 HBP

[BrewCrewForever]

Ryan Braun, where have you gone?

[BrewCrewForever]

6 strong inning from Yo fresh off the DL. Very nice.

[BrewCrewForever]

Weeks is the man. Wow. Can't teach that bat speed.

[yfinn6]

Good grief that was destroyed by Weeks.

[PrinceEatMeat]

WEEKS!

[BrewCrewForever]

Rickie's OPS now .860.

[BrewCrewForever]

Why can't out pitches even bean a guy correctly?

 

And why does Macha sit in the bench like a chump?

[yfinn6]

Hah, of course the Brewers get the warning in this situation.

 

*edit - I didn't know that YO hit someone for the Pirates. I don't know how I missed that.

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

Wonder if Rickie will be in the 3 hole next year after Prince gets traded.

edit: Just a matter of time before the Brewers plunked somebody.

[crewcrazy]

And this inning would be why it's such a stupid idea to start throwing at batters in retaliation. That HBP kept this inning going, and now they're in serious jeopardy of losing the lead. Hope it was worth it to them.

I know a few years back a lot of people projected Weeks as a #3 hitter and he seems like he could do it. They can have Cain bat leadoff next season.

It was 3-0 when he was hit. Chances are Coffey would have walked him anyway.

[BrewCrewForever]

Nice job Capuano!

[yfinn6]

This "text to vote" for the most surprising team in baseball has run its course. That's the type of question you ask during one broadcast, not during the course of 3-4 or more.

I kind of asked that in the lineup thread, but the more I think about it I don't like it.

Cain

Escobar

Weeks

Braun

Gamel

McGehee

Lucroy

Gomez

Pitcher

Weeks

Cain

Braun

Gamel

McGehee

Lucroy

Escobar

Gomez

Pitcher

I think the second one looks better to me. Of course it kind of depends on if Gamel will hit.

[PrinceEatMeat]

No point in sending Fielder there.

[GB12]

Trying to release some of the anger with a collision? I can't think of any other reason to try and score on that.
