Link Report for Games of Monday, May 3rd

[MassBrew]

While the Brewers lick their wounds with another Monday off, there's opportunity throughout the day to take part in the audio feast that is Monday's Daily Menu:

 

All times Central; pitchers subject to change; pre-game audio begins approx. 15 minutes prior to game time listed...

 

This is a good place to remind you as well, that all three affiliates provide pre-game shows that nearly always include a daily interview, plus it's a fine place to pick up injury and transaction news and injury analysis that is often not quite yet online.

 

INDIANAPOLIS: TBD at home vs. Toledo (Tigers), 11:00 AM -- morning baseball for you...

HUNTSVILLE: LHP Jeff Housman at home vs. West Tenn (Cubs), 12:05 PM -- dueling matinees between the AAA and AA levels today...

HIGH DESERT: LHP Eric Henderson at home vs. Lake Elsinore (Padres), 9:05 PM; the over-under on successful pick-off attempts is two...

Link Report for Games of Tuesday, May 3rd

 

You mean Monday. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

[MassBrew]

With Beloit in Apple-ton for 6:35 starts on four consecutive nights beginning on Monday, wondering if Al the Thinking Man or others from that part of the state will be providing any first hand accounts.

 

Checking out LHP Greg Kloosterman Monday night is a fine choice. Of course, there's always Sweet Lou Palmisano (man, I hate giving up "Cap'n"), who's likely to DH on any night he's not catching.

Sweet Lou Palmisano (man, I hate giving up "Cap'n&quothttp://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

 

Not everyone has given up on the Cap'n. Sweet Lou my butt.

 

Go Cap'n Lou!

[igor67]

The Keg and Cap'n Lou still ive on in this Brewer fan!

Anybody able to provide some game updates today as the Indy and Huntsville games are going on for us die hards at work that aren't able to tune the games in? If so, thanks in advance!

[MassBrew]

In progress: Toledo (Tigers) 3, Indianapolis 2, after three innings

RHP Pedro Liriano is on the mound for Indy...

 

As has been the case so often this season, I'm unable to pull up proper audio from the 1430 WXNT web site for the Indy audio. As an alternative, you can listen to the Toledo broadcast here:

 

www.mudhens.com/info/list...asp?view=5

 

The page makes you think there's a video link as well, but there is not.

[MassBrew]

As of noon Central, the Huntsville pre-game show on the reliable Huntsville audio is underway. LHP Ryan Costello is the pre-game guest.

 

So yes fans, while we won't need overly detailed play-by-play blows, feel free to interject within the Link Report an occasional update for either game.

 

Thanks!

[MassBrew]

LHP Jeff Housman struck out the first three West Tenn batters in the top of the first.

 

Just a thought, perhaps it's not a totally fair statement, because the Brewers couldn't have quite foreseen the injuries to Chris Capuano, Mike Jones and Ryan Miller.

 

But releasing Matt Parker from Indy so that Travis Phelps could be activated from the DL just prior to the injury run sure sent the organization into "scramble mode", along with the weather-induced run of double-headers as of late for the Stars.

[MassBrew]

Updates:

 

In progress: Indianapolis 6, Toledo (Tigers) 3, after six innings

Seems like both sources of audio are failing now...

 

In progress: Huntsville 1, West Tenn (Cubs) 0, bottom of the fourth at "the Joe"

LHP Jeff Housman cruising, a booming Prince Fielder double scores the game's lone run thus far -- the inning could have been bigger but for a Tony Gwynn, Jr. baserunning gaffe getting tossed out at third on a grounder to SS; ho-hum, Rickie Weeks plunked again (in the shoulder, he's OK). Housman got retribution by hitting the leadoff man in the following inning (Jeff, wait until two are out next time -- but then immediately induced a double-play grounder).

 

That's it from me until this evening -- go Tribe - Stars - Mavs - Snappers! Who needs Mondays off, huh, Brewers?

[deeswan]

Through the top of the 5th. Housman gave up back-to-back doubles to allow a run, then buckled down and got out of it. 1-1 right now, Housman 7 Ks in 5 innings.

[igor67]

Someone want to explain to me when Housman decided getting punch outs was important? The guy goes from smoke and mirrors to dealing with an ERA seemingly out of whack? I wonder if some odd upward mobility on the old power 50 will be waranted by this unexpected show of stuff.

[950opsLHcatcher]

Housman would have to pay me off to get a big move up the Power 50. I'm still not buying what he's selling. Has anyone ever started a chant of "Moyer, Moyer, Moyer" at a game of his?

[mls4]

Indy wins 6-4. Liriano with the win, Jason Childers with the save, Sheldon with a HR, and Hart with 2 hits and 3 RBI.

 

Indy box score

 

Huntsville and West Tenn 2-2 through 7 innings.

[950opsLHcatcher]

J.J., you're killing me.

[MikeRizzo]

Sorry guys like what you wish but its Sweet Lou even his own yahoo name is Sweetlou***********@ *******

 

It fits him well with his sweet swing and a heck of a nice guy.

 

Mike

[950opsLHcatcher]

By that you mean...

 

sweetlouyetcapnlou@yahoo.com?

[kanyeJ]

well, it is sweet lou, but you brewerfan.net faithful call him whatever you want, cause trying to tell some of you something you arent used to is like talking to a brick wall.

[Katuluu]

Perhaps if he chose a nickname that wasn't dumb we might be a bit less resistent to change?

[igor67]

It's not that it's dumb Kat it's that every other Lou in the world that plays a sport is called sweet. As I recall Jim was really on the ball with this one last year. And I agree we're all for anything but sweet.

[kanyeJ]

kat, his teammates where he went to college called him that, and then last year they started to call him that at Helena,so he didnt choose the name, he was given the name because of his stroke.
