2011-04-04 Braves (Beachy) at Brewers (Narveson) - [Brewers lose, 2-1, remain winless]

[owbc]

They said the scoreboard was broken for 1/2 inning so maybe the discussions were related to that?

[trwi7]

Rickie is a stud.

[Dragonbait]

OMG!!!!!!

 

Weeks for MVP!!!!!

[dlk9s]

Rickie Weeks is a terrible, terrible player. I can't believe Melvin signed him to a long-term deal.

[jjkoestler]

Wow Rickie. Just wow.

[COOOOP]

It was simply the best plan RR could come up with to get to Rickie faster!

[ELCABALLO45]

Rickie! Stay hot!

[Dragonbait]

Quick... math guys.... what's he on pace for?

[logan82]

We should sign that Weeks guy to a long term contract.

Rickie Weeks: "If Carlos is just going to strike out on two pitches at his eyes, I'm just going to go yard. Forget this singles nonsense. I'll do it all myself."

 

Stud.

[dlk9s]

Ok, even though he grounded out, that's more the type of hitting the team needs from Gomez. Just go with a pitch instead of trying to swing for the fences every time.

[Hammer]

How is Braun going to get any RBI with Weeks and Gomez in front of him?

[dlk9s]

How is Braun going to get any RBI with Weeks and Gomez in front of him?

Homers, obviously.

[logan82]

Yeah I know. That Weeks dude just keeps running around all the bases. He should stop so Braun can get some RBI's.

[trwi7]

Betancourt is going to bat 1.000 at home this year and .000 on the road.

[owbc]

I would still not bunt here, but there is an argument both ways.

[Glennron]

Swear to God if he bunts...

[dlk9s]

I would still not bunt here, but there is an argument both ways.

I'm trying to figure out if Morgan is bunting on his own or not. I thought so on the first time he squared around this AB, but the second one looked more like a sac bunt (which makes me think that one, at least, was the manager's call).

[owbc]

Nyjer's speed really helped there, Freeman was trying to rush to turn the DP.

[Mudville9]

How many times is Wil going to swing at that outside pitch today?

[dlk9s]

Nieves should keep reaching at pitches off the plate.

[trwi7]

Could be a 3-1 count on Nieves right now. Instead it's 1-2.

[Mudville9]

Kottaras might start tomorrow.

[Glennron]

Hurry back, Jonathan.

[dlk9s]

It's ok - Narveson is up now.
