2012-06-19 Blue Jays (Chavez) at Brewers (Thornburg), 7:10 PM CDT [Brewers lose, 10-9]]

[Funketown]

He looked pretty comfortable up there!

 

Thornburg's career OPS at Charleston Southern was .841, so he should swing a good bat for a pitcher. Then again, Marcum put up similar numbers in college.

What is a so called 8 game losing streak? When you only lose 6 in a row but they were all 9th inning comebacks?

Marcum is actually a good hitting pitcher.

[TURBO]

Gomez is a game changer on the bases all right... Too bad he usually change the game for the worse because of his stupidity.

 

UGGHHHH!

[topper09er]

Corey is only 2 Ks behind Weeks for the NL lead counting tonight.

[TURBO]

Weeks with the Grand Salami???????

 

Wouldn't it be sweet? That ought to get him going!

[topper09er]

I wonder how close Gomez is getting to the plate

 

Nevermind he already scored

[jjgott]

Wow, unbelievable take by Weeks there. Nice to see everyone shuffling around the bases.

[ninja33]

who is this team and what have they done with the real brewers?

[jjgott]

And the carousel continues...

[TURBO]

wow!

 

It is hard to believe that ANY major league pitcher would ever walk in 3 straight.

[topper09er]

Melvin is leaving in the middle of this? Maysonet will end the inning within 2 pitches now and that

[jjgott]

Thornburg Slam coming up???

[TURBO]

Sure do love getting "Thorny" some runs here. A win in his first start would surely be a great thing for him psychologically.

 

I'd say we need at lest a 5 run cushion though, because once we get to our bullpen, all bets are off.

[olliegjw]

What is with pitchers with CV as initials that take forever, and can't throw strikes?

[jjgott]

DFA Maysonet. Villa didn't even through him a strike.

[RockCoCougars]

Well, that was the worst at-bat that I've seen a Brewer have all season.

Did Doug Davis change his name?

[Yeti73]

Well, that was the worst at-bat that I've seen a Brewer have all season.

Pretty sure Rick has had a few uglier ABs. Corey's classic 3 strike, 1 swing, Ks have also been pretty bad. But, yes, that was bad.

[pacopete4]

They're not all going to be winners. If no one ever got out, the game would never end. Keep it up Crew!

[adambr2]

I've seen worse at-bats this year, but considering the situation, the fact that they had pretty much yet to throw a strike all inning, for him to go up there hacking away was pretty dumbfounding. Even with a different pitcher.

[valpocrewsader]

So, we're going with "Thorny" as the nickname, eh?

The kid has been very impressive. I love that he doesn't pitch scared, trying to nibble to much, and as a result get in lots of 2-0 or 3-1 type of counts. His command looks great, especially for a guy making his first start.

[topper09er]

His curveball has the making to become as legendary as the hammer of Thor so thats not a bad nickname
