Werth-less

[wisconsinfan47]

Prince gets some OBP padding today...

 

So Braun has the homer and a triple...I can't remember, anything else?

[uwisfan]

my mistake..thought he had a single too..not much shot for the cycle

[uwisfan]

wish we had wise in instaed. Villy needs rest, and Wise needs to get his head on straight

[brewcrewkid14]

I like them bringing in Villanueva for an inning here. Hopefully get can get it back on track.

[Ennder]

I imagine Wise will pitch the 8th or 9th if we are still up by 4+.

[dinger12]

Anyone listening to bill and brian talk about closers. Brian said Eric Gagne was always going to be a closer and only ever had two pitches. That's just flat out wrong.

[phatmatt1215]

I hate the commercial about Directv where that woman is jumping up and down. It drives me up a wall.

[phatmatt1215]

Just a dumb question.... Why do some posts have a little red baseball in the upper left hand corner?

[jloos19]

I'm pretty sure those are the posts that are unread posts.

[TheCrew07]

Yea, Gagne failed as a MLB starter before being converted. It's just a given that Bill's going to say something entirely inaccurate during a broadcast. The day they brought up Dillon he made about 6-7 or mistakes just in regards to him... he got the homeruns, BA, BBs, Ks... and some career things wrong. It's not very difficult to do your homework, especially with the internet.

[dinger12]

It was actually Brian who was inaccurate this time.

[brettac1]

I really don't get why Villanueva is going two innings.

[TheCrew07]

Villy is setting a world's record for most 2 strike hits given up while ahead in the count... or something.

[thunderbat30]

CV has really struggled lately. He could probably use some DL time to give his "tightness in shoulder" a break.

[moofnelson]

I wonder why Yost was trying to get 2 innings out of CV?

[Ennder]

Just a dumb question.... Why do some posts have a little red baseball in the upper left hand corner?

I think that symbol in the upper left hand corner notates if the user is currently logged in or not.

 

I thought Linebrink's Ks were down! Trade is looking decent to me so far!

I REALLY like Linebrink!!!!! (in the short time that he's been here, anyway.)

[TheCrew07]

I didn't think he was talking about that, I have a little green dot for people who don't block that, not a baseball, maybe though.

[Ennder]

People who are online have a green dot, those that are not online have a little red circle with a line through it that looks sort of like a baseball.

[TheCrew07]

Ahh you're correct, Ennder.

 

Wow what a job by Linebrink.

[LUKE232323]

I feel good about our pen with Wise/Linebrink/Parra/CV/Bow/Cordero/Shouse. Definitely a strength of this team.

 

Wow, strikes out the side.

[brettac1]

Phenomenal job right there.

[dinger12]

Linebrink made that look easy.

 

I also think CV might have pitched more than he has in the past and could benefit from some time off.

[SlideBernieSlide]

Fastball-Split-Change. You never know what Brink is going to throw. Very nice job against the meat of their order.
