2011-05-08 Brewers (Narveson) at Cardinals (McClellan) - [Brewers lose, 3-1]

[burnzy24]

Watching the Cardinal's feed on MLB tv. The one announcer is gushing about how great the Cardinal fans are because they respect the opposing players. Might be hitting the mute button soon.

[brains and braun]

Not a classy move, Burnzy...

[chickinbrickin]

Narvy looking good so far. Come on bats lets get some damn runs.

[stoutdude04]

This game is flying along

[Schlitz001]

Can we PLEASE score some runs soon?

[theavrock]

Kotsay has to have naked pictures of RRR. seriously how this guy has gotten as many starts as he has. He is going to play CF and he starts two days in a row over Hart. I don't get it.

[derflotr]

I can't believe how collectively apathetic they are with the bats right now. SO many great pitches to hit today.

Can we PLEASE score some runs soon?

SERIOUSLY. McClellan is not impressive so far but the hard hit balls are coming less and less. McC does NOT look dominating but we look pathetic. SO annoying.

Not that I'm worried about him, but Brauny is 2-25 in May with 1 walk and no extra base hits. He'll be fine, but we could really use his bat right about now.

[crewcrazy]

It's been nice seeing the team take more pitches and work better ABs over the past couple days, so at least there's progress there when it comes to working out of the offensive slump. Next step is recognizing the mistake pitches and punishing them. Braun got a hanging breaking ball on that last groundout of his and just missed it.

[stoutdude04]

Single followed by a weak infield single...bummer.

[chickinbrickin]

Not that I'm worried about him, but Brauny is 2-25 in May with 1 walk and no extra base hits. He'll be fine, but we could really use his bat right about now.

 

He seems to be pressing. Him and Prince seem to have lost their approach at the plate during the recent skid. I think they are trying to do too much right now.

[stoutdude04]

Im pretty sure they can call an infield fly after the fact, if he lets that drop.

[davego]

The Cards rally here is something you would find in girls softball.

[chickinbrickin]

What was Casey doing on that play. If your not going to go for the ball, at least get to third so they could get the lead runner.

[chickinbrickin]

The walk of Albert to get to Holliday is making me nervous. I'm smelling a 3 run shot here.

 

EDIT: Love when I'm wrong.

[TerraceReserved]

Some rough luck this inning. Only 1 hard hit ball and 2 runs are in. And now we're facing the middle of their lineup. Wahoo.

[chickinbrickin]

How were those last two pitches not stikes. Both clearly caught the inside corner.

[theavrock]

Some interesting calls by the ump there. Not sure where some of these are missing to Holliday.

EDIT: Well I guess all's well that ends well

[stoutdude04]

He had to throw 4 strikes so far. 5 strikes that at bat.

[davego]

Nice pitch!

[Oxy]

Narveson with the 4 strike K on Holliday, very nearly 5.

[Funketown]

Dreckman's corners are horrible today. Hopefully he misses a few in the Brewers' favor.

[letsgored2003]

And after getting 2 absolute gifts from the home plate umpire, Holliday has the nerve to complain after finally being called out on a ball right down the middle.

[lbb020]

Do the 2011 Brewers have the worst defensive left side of the infield ever? At least the worst range ever? Mcgehee: first can't cut off the infield single that Betancourt kept in the infield (but Betancourt's terrible range didn't allow him to actually make a play....Theriot made the exact same play in the top half to throw out Braun), then Mcgehee makes a terrible play not covering 3rd for the potential force. It sure must suck to be a Brewers pitcher...
