2011-09-07 Brewers (Greinke) at Cardinals (Carpenter) - [Brewers lose, 2-0]

[TheBwaz]

St. Green popped up on the first pitch. Probably shouldn't bat him next to Yuni. he seems to be wearing off.

 

That and the strikezone is a little bigger for us all of a sudden...

[Oldcity]

Carpenter on pace to throw 11 innings today.

[Baldkin]

Oh my God the bar is BarNone and Bill pronounced it "Bar-known"

that's funny because I said the exact same thing to my GF.

C'mon, IGT posters don't have GF's.

She's from Canada, right?

 

Greinke with a solid outing thus far.

 

Edit: I had to open my stupid mouth.

[Raw Biz]

And the Furcal domination continues. I don't get it.

[markedman5]

that might just do it.....Furcal just owns us.

[bucksman4]

This has the makings of a shutout.

[jason21nl]

I'm so happy that we are done playing STL. I can't stand watching them

[TheBwaz]

Disregards comments and relishes double play.

You say that as though we wouldn't be better off with Furcal than our current SS. Care to expound? Because you can put me in the category of thinking we needed to get him.

Wow...Didn't Corey use to have a good arm?

I thought so. Then again, he used to be fast too.

 

 

He never charges fly balls to make throws home. Been the same story his whole career. Remember the all star game when the AL scored the winning run on a sac fly that Hart spiked into the ground with his typically lame, flat-footed attempt to throw home? Embarrassingly bad. I'm sure coaches have tried to correct him over the years. Either he is lazy or incapable of learning.

Sad part is, Braun is the same way. Both of them are just not good on anything they are camping under.

This is just getting annoying. The Cards absolutely aren't going to win the division, but continuing to lose to them isn't fun. As long as the Dbacks lose tonight too, we'll be alright.

I think braun is noticeably better at setting up behind it and using his momentum a little.

[thablingster]

I wouldn't be surprised to see the Cardinals disrespect Craig by walking the bases loaded to face him instead of Fielder.

Not only does Hart get nothing on his throws, he's always really inaccurate. I'd like to see him playing first next year.

14 of Furcals 30 hits as a Cardinal have come against the Brewers. We should have gotten him just for when he is playing us because outside of that he has been pretty bad. His OBP is under .300 as a Cardinal. Yuni's numbers have been fairly similar over the same time, but Furcal has to be better on defense.

[jason21nl]

so sick of the freaking Cardinals

[jjfanec]

Surprised they pitched to Prince there. Needed a big hit from Prince there. Not sure how many chances we are going to get

So....who would YOU rather have playing SS for the Milwaukee Brewers between the two? Your answer was cloudy.

I would have rather had Furcal but he really hasnt been good since the Cardinals got him. Actually outside of playing the Brewers he has been awful at the plate, but he has to be a better fielder so I would rather have him

[markedman5]

The offense has sure been absent in this series.

Guys, that ship has sailed. Is it really the best use of our time to rehash the Furcal issue?

Yeah I think the reason everyone wanted Furcal (or anyone but Yuni) was because even if they were the same offensively, just about any replacement would've been better defensively.
