2014-08-05 Giants (Lincecum) at Brewers (Nelson), 7:10 PM CDT [Brewers win, 4-3; Parra's first Brewers hit is a HR]

[NievesNoNO]

Why has Jeffress become the go to late inning guy?

[TooLiveBrew]

Hopefully Jimmy learns to shed the Dave Bush Big Inning. Been really good until he hits the wall.

 

He needs a third pitch. He struggles the third time through the order.

 

I thought he had a change? He really needs something off-speed.

Nelson does have a change, but he doesn't throw it much (which means that he doesn't have much confidence in it)

[sdcheezhd]

Jeffress still throwing 1 pitch and can't get it over.

OMG... Parra!!!!!

[owbc]

Damn that Parra guy can play outfield!!!

[WinkelsasVsSoriano]

Parra O, Parra D. That last part is nice to have late in games. No way Khrush gets to that.

[TooLiveBrew]

PARRA AGAIN!!!!

 

What a catch! He just makes it look sooooo easy!

[wildcat83]

Where has that get me over curve been? Good time to bust it out.

[BraunyBoy08]

Regardless of how this finishes, Gerardo Parra WAR w/ Brewers = 1.0

[TURBO]

If Parra continues to do things like make diving catches and hit home runs, you just know our manager will be stressing to get him in the starting line-up more often.

[HiAndTight]

PARRA AGAIN!!!!

 

What a catch! He just makes it look sooooo easy!

 

 

I still do not like that trade much.....but I'm taking a break from my objections tonight!

 

Still have little to no confidence Jeffress is going to come through here vs Posey. His slider just isn't ready...

[TURBO]

Looked "ready" on that pitch!

[topper09er]

Posey looked like a pitcher on that last swing, seriously dank pitch there from JJ

[wildcat83]

PARRA AGAIN!!!!

 

What a catch! He just makes it look sooooo easy!

 

Smooth pop-up sliding catch at an awkward part of the wall too. Impressive in an outfield he's not familiar with.

[WinkelsasVsSoriano]

That wasn't the best curve, but when you throw a bunch of fastballs, that'll get the job done! Nice work. Have to admit, I thought he wouldn't make it out of the inning.

[TooLiveBrew]

I'LL TAKE THAT AWFUL K FROM POSEY!!!

[DuWayne Steurer]

Fooled ya Buster.

[The stache]

I just ordered a few Jeffress Chrome autos off of COMC.com. Nice to have him back again. I'm looking for good things from him. That K against Posey made me smile

[folly412]

Ballsy pitch

Great point.

 

What a nice addition, and frankly he could wind up being the club's CF once Gomez inevitably moves on either via FA or trade. I think Parra could be a guy the Crew could extend affordably.

God do I LOVE being proven blatantly wrong immediately after a pessimistic post!

 

Keep throwing that slider Jeremy!

Well, it certainly wasn't a good slider!

 

But we'll take it!

No, it was average at best(it was a slider I believe, but either way).

 

I can't imagine how tough it is to be looking for a 98 MPH fastball and try to adjust to a slider there when nobody saw that coming.

[TooLiveBrew]

LUUUUUUUUUUUC!

Luc having a nice night
