[endaround]

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

MOTHER OF GOD

 

 

Let's all agree to pronounce it T'horny

[topper09er]

When Rock retired he had the record, since broken, for most career HRs with HR > BB, 61 dingers but 58 walks

Well when any pitch that is within a foot of the plate is "too close to take"....

[topper09er]

Gameday and FSN are now showing Thor's fastball only hitting 88-89? It was 93-94 earlier in the game. Only 75 pitches, not a good sign

[adambr2]

If Villy would like to kick his leg out in the middle of the strike zone one more time, 95 MPH right down main street should do nicely.

[jjgott]

Ah Chris Saenz "and like that...poof, he's gone"

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

I always liked Chuckie Newhouse. Not sure why we gave up on him so cheaply.

I went with Charles Newtown

Until the 3rd inning. Now I'm thinking The Ignitor.

[TURBO]

RICKIE!

 

I think he is on the road to back on track!

Those were pitches to Villanueva after falling behind 2-0. So i think he was simply just making sure to throw a strike down the middle and force Carlos to swing the bat.

[TURBO]

What is "Thorny's" pitch count?

[topper09er]

Third time through the order coming up. In Thornburg's career hitters are / / / against him the 3rd time they see him in a game

75

[jjgott]

Welp, bout time to get that bullpen warmed up, eh?

[chadomac]

Yikes

[danzig6767]

Man, the ball rockets off Lawrie's bat kinda kinda like a young Braun. That's one trade which down the road very likely will make Brewers fan cringe big time.

Same thing this inning too, FBs to Rasmus were 91, 90, 88, 89

[The stache]

Now Roenicke will dick around and keep Thornburg in too long.

Down the road? Makes me cringe right now...

 

[TURBO]

Seriously?

I don't feel like filling in those blanks.

[The stache]

Roenicke, you ***** idiot. Good job leaving him in. Back to back to back home runs.

[jjgott]

I hope we drill Encarnacion he comes up. Watches it like Pujols.

[TURBO]

Does he need to stand and watch that long off a rookie pitcher?

 

Jerkface.
