2011-08-27 Cubs (Dempster) at Brewers (Gallardo) - [Brewers win, 6-4]

[Bernman23]

a3uge, that's what Betancore could have done. I'd like to see what Hairston at short and Greenie at 2nd looks like before Weeks returns.

wow great play, JHJ

I think Marlon Byrd ought to shade towards RF. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

The Brewers are just tattooing the ball tonight.

Guys the game is on WGN if you want to watch it in HD.

 

Where's WGN-HD on Time Warner cable?

[Schlitz001]

You never get a second chance to make a first impression. Mr. Jungmann, you sound like you don't have much more than a ribeye between your ears.

Or maybe he was a little nervous and answering the same generic questions over again is probably tiresome.

Remember that interview Sheets did after he first got drafted? He turned out to be an alright pitcher.

[stringcheese]

At this point, shouldn't Marlon Byrd just stand on the warning track?

What channel is WGN HD on TWC in Milwaukee. i can't find it. Thanks

[ilovebeer]

I rather watch it on our terrible channel wmlw than having to listen to the cubs broadcasters.

I know that I am getting ahead of myself here but I really like the fact that the Phillies are going to have to make up a ton of games the rest of the season (in comparison to the Brewers)... They do not have another off day the rest of the season and that includes 2 doubleheaders (the Brewers have 3 off days)... That has to be tough on a staff late in the year.

I agree, it is odd to see Byrd so shallow. The scouting report says to play the outfield deep against the Brewers. I am not sure why Quade isn't following it.

LD is 9, but it looks almost like HD after watching WMLW

Good point. They also have to be careful since the Braves are red hot and remain only 6 games back. No throwing in AAA players for spot starts without potential consequences.

 

Interestingly, if the Braves were to eclipse the Phillies, the Brewers/Phillies would play in the NLDS.

20 of the Phillies final 33 games are on the road also, including their last 6 (final 3 at the Braves)... The Brewers could possibly catch them as well http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

Sometimes I wonder if umpires realize Corey his 6 foot 6 and they need to adjust the strike zone appropriately. Looks like this ump did

[igor67]

Dempster is some pretty good OF D away from having given up about 3 more runs. If Morgan has a longish AB he could hit 90 pitches in the 4th inning, that's a pretty rough night

It's probably because he goes back on the baseball so well. Playing shallow only might have cost him once. He's making over the shoulder and fence catches. If not for Byrd's defense the Crew would have a couple more runs on the board. We'd kill for his level of defense in center from Hairston and Morgan.

According to cards talk, Tony Lasusaa will be back next season.

[markedman5]

Couldn't tell you....I have DirectV......

While it is great to be in 1st place, I have actually lost some interest in the Brewers lately. They have a 10 game lead and they are still about 3 weeks away from clinching. October seems way too far away. It will be nice to play the Cardinals and Phillies to make things interesting again. Beating up on bad teams is starting to get a little old :-)

[Tailgat0r76]

Brenly just spoke of Yuni, "great range and a cannon for an arm, Yuniesky...." ... ... ...

 

I'm glad we didn't hire him for the managerial role in '09.

[pebadger]

Brenly on WGN: "Betancourt has great range"

 

Can't make this stuff up.

[pretendastronaut]

Was anyone else surprised they put the guys with "Nyjer, please!" shirts on the screen? Eesh.

[stringcheese]

FYI, Bob Brenly just said Yuni has great range

[markedman5]

So when Weeks comes back who bats 2nd against lefties? I really like Hairston in that spot but I doubt he will get any starts when Rickie gets back.

 

I hope he doesn't stick Gomez in the 2 hole but I bet he does.
