2011-04-07 Braves at Brewers - [Brewers win, 4-2; WSSP Post-Game Audio now available at tail end of thread]

First time seeing MLB.com's new gameday. Looking pretty fancy...

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

I'm with you Gorman...Cuzzi is the worst. I give the Brewers a better chance of having someone tossed than winning...and Marcum thought he got pinched in Cincy?

[owbc]

Lets just say Kotsay wouldn't have even come close to catching that ball.

[Schlitz001]

Nice running catch by Morgan. With Kotsay that might have been an RBI double.

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

Tony Plush showing the range...no way Kotsay gets that without diving.

[jjkoestler]

Uecker made Tony's catch seem impressive. Can MLB TVers verify?

[rluzinski]

I'd be fine with Gomez batting second over Morgan against a lefty but a righty? That is just a brutal decision.

 

Major League managers: managing with their gut since 1876!

[owbc]

He was playing deep and had a long way to go. Didn't dive but made a good leaning, running catch.

[thablingster]

Gomez bunting for a hit is encouraging to see. Use those wheels, Carlos.

[Schlitz001]

Tommy Hanson gave up the 5th highest percentage of steals last year for a pitcher (89% successful). You think the Brewers will be running?

[owbc]

The Braves sure think they are.

 

Edit: That is EXACTLY why you run and try and steal bases. Hanson was completely focuses on Gomez and left a pitch right down the middle for Braun.

GoGo was really close to getting caught there a couple times. Good to see Braun back to crushing those fat ones.

[PrinceEatMeat]

Love seeing Gomez bunt for a hit. Anything that he doesn't hit in the air is a plus. And yes Braun!

[thablingster]

Hopefully Hanson doesn't drill Braun in the elbow again like he did last year. McCalvy tweeted Braun did a small fist pump as the ball went out.

[PrinceEatMeat]

McGehee is really struggling at the plate. Could probably use a day off.

[owbc]

The camera got lucky and caught the fist pump at the right time. Braun was already around 1st base. I doubt Hanson saw it.

[GoudaBrew]

McGehee is really struggling at the plate. Could probably use a day off.

He looks very uncertain at the plate. Even in his walk yesterday you could tell he wasn't seeing the ball well. I agree - he could use a day off.

 

Braun definitely looked happy with that one. He probably feels he should have a couple more long balls already.

[bjkrautk]

Braun has 4 HRs in 13 AB against Hanson.

 

I'm also guessing that, if Hanson had seen the fist pump, he'd have dotted Prince with the next pitch (like he did the last time Ryan took him deep).

[WisconsinSportsRule]

Ugh, 0-2 count and Prado hits a two run single.

 

Damn walks.

[owbc]

Nice job by Prado, just reached out and poked it through for a single. Marcum left it a bit up but it was well off the outside corner.

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

Two seeing eye singles this inning...two runs. Uggh

[topper09er]

Marcum does not have a good enough fastball to blow it by anyone up with 2 strikes. Same thing he tried to do against Rolen when he gave up the HR. Keep the ball down with 2 strikes Marcum.

[PrinceEatMeat]

Morgan continues to hit. I love it! And then he steals third to add onto it. Edited April 7, 2011 by PrinceEatMeat

Tony Plush knows doubles. Gotta love the plushdamentals being shown so far by the gentleman.

[sargennm]

It's nice to see one of these "other people's trash" transactions work out so well. *knocks on wood*

 

Can Tony Plush play SS? (/blue)
