2011-07-08 Reds (Leake) at Brewers (Greinke) - [Brewers, Kotsay walkoff winners off F. Cordero, 8-7]

[TheCrew07]

Wow the fans are pretty quick to boo these days.

[jeffy]

I wish Braddock could get his FB back up into the mid 90s.

 

 

Who cares as long he is not 5 or 10 minutes late

[chickinbrickin]

Braddock getting some love tonight! Shut thrm down bud.

 

or not

[ELCABALLO45]

That ball was destroyed. Good thing we didn't walk Phillips to get to Bruce?

[jason21nl]

awesome come back only to give it right back up. I'm so pissed at RRR and Melvin. This isn't a frickin computer game where you can put guys at any position!

[markedman5]

The bullpen woes continue.

[crewcrazy]

Well that escalated quickly.

 

I hate playing the Reds.

[natronek8780]

What a nice comeback to waste. We still have 3 innings to bat but that HR by Bruce was big. For some reason, I still have faith!

[dlk9s]

I feel a Ryan Braun special coming tonight.

[owbc]

I like that RR doesn't intentionally walk guys.

 

The bad defense is really frustrating for the fans, and I'm sure the pitchers don't like it much either.

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

Man do we have some holes on this team...horrible defense, weak bench and the pen. We really need a lefty against the Reds & Cards.

[TheCrew07]

I wish Braddock could get his FB back up into the mid 90s.

 

 

Who cares as long he is not 5 or 10 minutes late

? Because it's much easier to sneak a mistake 95-96 MPH FB past a guy than a 90-91 MPH?

 

[mastershake76]

Hey at least kameron loe can't pick up another loss

[ilovebeer]

I may have missed it, can Braun pinch hit tonight?

[endaround]

I may have missed it, can Braun pinch hit tonight?

Supposedly no

[chuckcrim]

The Reds are about to show the Brewers what a real bullpen looks like.

[natronek8780]

Top of the order coming up in the bottom of 7, I think we are due to have another big inning... Masset can't be great every night, right?

[Oldcity]

What happened to Braddock's velocity? He's just a guy without it.

[TheCrew07]

If Manzanillo keeps throwing strikes he'll be an intriguing BP arm with that upper 90s gas, not this year, but next year. We have a bunch of relief pitchers on the verge of the bigs.

[ilovebeer]

don't the reds have a terrible bullpen to?

[natronek8780]

don't the reds have a terrible bullpen to?

No

[owbc]

Looks like the Red Sox got into a fight again...have to check the highlights on this one.

 

Edit: Ortiz picked a fight on a popup, instigated by the Orioles pitcher. Ortiz may be big but he doesn't know how to throw a punch. Red Sox were winning 10-3 at the time.

Plus, Braddock throws more over the top than from a more side arm angle that generally the LOOGY guys do, so when he's not throwing really hard, he's not going to be super tough vs lefties.

 

I know lefthanded batters were only hitting .160 off Braddock coming into the game, but if his velocity doesn't get back in that 94-95 range, i question if he can remain a matchup nightmare vs most lefthanded batters.

[Oldcity]

Can't wait for mediocre Cordero to cruise to another save against the Brewers. Not sure anything frustrates me more than watching him turn into Superman against the Crew.
