2011-06-20 Rays (Niemann) at Brewers (Narveson) - [Brewers lose, 8-4]

Hmm...just tuned in to the free game of the day on MLB.tv. Never fun seeing 2 men on and no out the first time I lay my eyes on the game.

I allowed myself a brief moment of joy when I heard that Albert Pujols will miss 4-6 weeks. In retribution for my clearly classless act, the baseball gods have struck Ryan Braun with this sudden ailment. I apologize. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/frown.gif

just setting up the double play!

[dlk9s]

He'll probably be available as a pinch hitter today if necessary

We all know that's his best position.

I've tried that silver lining trick before, but it never works.

[thablingster]

I find it slightly odd the roof is open. There have been much nicer nights where the roof has been closed. Eh. We'll take it, I guess.

That's because it wasn't sponsored by West Bend.

Bad hop Bill? What? He threw the ball so poorly to Weeks that it nearly pulled him off the bag... Bad hop? Garbage.

[ilovebeer]

Only 1 run scored it could have been worse.

[Invader3K]

Yeah, looked like that should have been a routine double play. Weeks made a rushed bad throw as well.

I laughed at that too. If that's a bad hop, every grounder is a bad hop.

[pebadger]

He didn't say bad hop. He said tricky hop. And it was a tight second hop. Betancourt's throw was no worse than Ricky's. Lots to complain about Yuni but that play was nothing.

He had to make a rushed throw. Upton is fast and Betancourt's throw was bad which pulled him towards CF.

[ninja33]

anybody else's heart skip a beat thinking rickie might try to stretch that into two?

[dlk9s]

Rickie should've gone for second because the third time is always the charm.

[jjgott]

and only the second series overall between the two teams.

Oh god, I remember when we were in TB and that guy behind the plate kept yelling "RickieRickieRickieRickieRickie"

[Invader3K]

Why does Morgan try to bunt so much? Better hitter than that.

[trwi7]

Oh god, I remember when we were in TB and that guy behind the plate kept yelling "RickieRickieRickieRickieRickie"

Better than yelling Richie.

[owbc]

In that series @TB there were about 10 Brewers fans doing the "OOOOO" when Lyle Overbay was batting. They drowned out the rest of the "crowd".

[TheCrew07]

Geez Niemann's velocity is really down since his college days, he used to be a mid 90s guy.

[dlk9s]

Ball one to Hart would've been a strike yesterday.

[chickinbrickin]

Hopefully Prince goes yard hear because with this lineup we might not have many scoring ops.

[stoutdude04]

Do the Rays take less pitches than the Brewers? After the first inning Narv had 12 pitches to 5 batters and one was a 4 pitch walk.

[Invader3K]

Come join tomwopat and myself in the chat! Narveson looking good!

[chickinbrickin]

Nice inning for Narv Dog. We need one of his 8 IP games tonight to give the pen a break
