I think Ryan Braun might be the second coming of Christ.

dlk9s may I use this as my sig?

 

Of course. I may have to use one of your videos from last night as my avatar.

I can't wait until Soup's next outing to see if we are FINALLY starting to see the Soup that is a dominant second half pitcher.

[Ennder]

The 6th inning has been painful for us all year, lets hope he can get through this.

[splitterpfj]

MLB record for RBI by a rookie is 145, Ted Williams, 1939.

[Ennder]

There goes the shutout, lets end it here Suppan. Don't want to see that bullpen just yet.

 

Or maybe we do want to see it, heh. 83 pitches.

[MadisonBrewerBlue]

shouse coming in with 2 inherited runners

[AJAY]

I was hoping for another inning out of Suppan. But he looked very good today. It's encouraging to see that.

[Team Canada]

I like the quick hook here. Let's not mess around.

[apereira2222]

unless Suppan is hurting, thats a little bit of a quick hook for my taste.

[uwbufu24]

Here comes Shouse, can't blame Ned for getting Soup here given what's happened this year.

[Ennder]

We do have two of the next eight days off and are carrying an extra pitcher still so I guess it makes some sense to have the quick hook.

[phatmatt1215]

Was the crowd booing Soup, or Ned; or were they saying "Soup"?

[apereira2222]

Here comes Shouse, can't blame Ned for getting Soup here given what's happened this year.

 

We have a 5 run lead with our 45 million dollar pitcher on the mound who has only thrown 83 pitches. No matter what has happened in the past, I would think you would have to have more confidence in your pitcher than that.

[Team Canada]

Brian's House.

 

 

In the middle of the street.

[MadisonBrewerBlue]

shouse is the most under rated player on the brewers

[dlk9s]

Time to give Wise a shot with at least a 5-run lead?

[uwisfan]

if its a blowout situation in the ninth, i hope Yost puts in Wise to see what he's got. He has a tendency to put headcase pitchers in bad situations, when its absolutely necessary to get outs. This would be a better opportunity.

[moofnelson]

The stars were aligned for Suppan to go at least 7 innings today. Alas, it just isn't going to happen.

[Ennder]

Tigers just lost to the White Sox again being swept at home. That makes them 2-11 in their last 13 games and losers of 5 of their last 6 to the White Sox.

 

All teams go through bad stretches no matter how good they are and how bad their opponents are.

[SeriesFinale]

Nothing like a Helms-Shouse matchup...talk about a fit couple of guys

 

I def. agree that Shousie has been way underrated the last few months

[SlideBernieSlide]

I gotta think Soup was battlin a summer cold mixed with a little Lake Michigan humidity. Guy's energy looked zapped. Great outing there. 2 very solid starts for Soup. Let's hope that continues.

I agree in principle, but baby steps are needed to get him his confidence back. Also, the crowd was saying "Sooouuuupp".

 

[brewcrewkid14]

I think that Ned wasn't planning on taking Suppan out when he walked out there. I am assuming this is injury related, like cramps or something small like that. I think he left it up to Soup to be honest with him.

[uwisfan]

braun with a real shot at the cycle now

[apereira2222]

never seen a team pitch around fielder like this all year, maybe that hr last night scared them off.
