2011-05-05 Brewers (Marcum) at Braves (Beachy) - [Brewers lose, 2-1]

[pingman]

how does a pitcher like Beachy not even get drafted? ....he was signed by ATL as a non-drafted free agent in 2008

 

....and for that matter, Tommy Hanson was a 22nd round draft choice.....

Poor scouting from everyone but the Braves. Either that or they just got lucky with two late bloomers.

[PrinceEatMeat]

Of course they get a bloop hit right there. This series has been unbelievable.

[pebadger]

Ridiculous. Just ridiculous. I know the Crew has been bad, but bad and unlucky is just deadly.

[Oxy]

Ugly start so far

I may end up at the bar

CATCH THE BALL RICKIE

[SenatorShriv]

wow. Beachy looked really good in that first inning striking out the side. good movement on his pitches and plenty of speed. Could be a long night...

 

Braun 0 for 10 over his last 10 at bats. Maybe we should put him on the DL with some mysterious injury.

[pebadger]

Well, I know Martin Prado has not watched video of Prince throwin the ball this season.

[prophet]

It's hard to remain a fan. But, part of being a Brewer fan, is hoping for the best every year, but then admitting to yourself that they are just a bad team again. I guess I just get depressed easily. Come on Brewers!!!!

[thablingster]

Fifteen pitch inning

Better than against Hudson?

Get a hit now, please.

[Oxy]

Nice hit for Casey

Swinging bunt for Betancourt

Bring him in Corey!

[davemakovec]

Cue the complaining

About Corey Hart swinging

At low breaking stuff

[davemakovec]

Five thrown in the zone

All called balls unless Dan swung

What a homer ump

[Oxy]

BA: "despite the

5 game losing streak there is

optimism" - CRACK

[ELCABALLO45]

This is depressing

[JET15]

J. Lucroy struck out

Marcum grounded out to third

Rickie caught looking

[JET15]

We wait for a break

My patience is thin today

Even beer tastes flat

[chadomac]

At least once or twice a year I have to "take a break" from the Brewers. I fear I may have to take it earlier than usual this year.

 

Also, is anyone listening to this broadcast on WTMJ? If so, what is that startling noise that keeps occurring during the broadcast?

[Oxy]

Morgan Braun Fielder

This has to turn around soon

Let's score lots of runs

[RightFieldCoder]

Shaun Marcum looks good

can't do everything himself

lets get him some runs

[davemakovec]

I think the noise on WTMJ is somebody shrieking.

 

As for Beachy, I think the Braves got lucky on him. They might have the best pitching scouts in the game, though, so it could be a brilliant pickup.

[Oxy]

If Fielder could bunt

He'd have an easy single

Instead he strikes out

[umphrey]

Career high is 9 strike outs for Beachy...for now

[ELCABALLO45]

If that was Gomez this thread would of exploded

[pebadger]

Gomez is contagious.

[RobDeer 45]

If that was Gomez this thread would of exploded

Exactly what I was thinking! Haha.

Come on, we really could use a win here. We just aren't right!
