8/10/07 - Brewers (Bush) at Astros (Jennings) - 7:05pm CT

[MoneyballMan]

Someone should tell Ned that he is allowed to argue especially when the ump TOTALLY BLOWS 2 CALLS. Where's Graffy to beat Ned down when he needs it.

They did say on TV that Yost went out to talk to the ump after the blon Hart call but Bill did term it a friendly conversation or something to that effect.

Yost probably wanted to make sure Hirschbeck got Yost's hondo down on the Astros along with his own.

I have never understood why "fans" will interfere with a ball in play when it could negatively affect your teams chances of winning... plus your just going to get kicked out of the game on top of it. How is a crappy baseball really even worth it?

[BrewCityUnit]

Big inning for Bush here...will we get through it while keeping the lead?

[MoneyballMan]

Geez, Estrada has taken a couple good ones this inning.

[MoneyballMan]

That was an outstanding pitch. RIGHT where Estrada wanted it.

[MoneyballMan]

Ok, I guess I'll watch Sportscenter tonight (an exception) in order to see that Braun catch again!

[phatmatt1215]

Nice catch, Ryan

[The Ignitor]

These cameramen are awful! They've missed almost everything.

[Brewcrewin07]

Credit to Bushie tonight. Since that first inning he has been locating his pitches tonight as good as anyone on the staff in a long time.

 

Except for that one....http://static.yuku.com/v2//domainskins/bypass/img/smileys/mad.gif

[BrewCityUnit]

Every time someone comes out of the dugout to talk to our pitchers

[MoneyballMan]

How much should we bet that that's EXACTLY the opposite of what Yost wanted.

[Bruce Ciskie]

I vote that Ned wear a shock collar and that we zap him every time he goes to talk to the pitcher.

[Jim Goulart]

Nobody can groove a home run ball like David Bush. Way to be scared to face a .168-hitting Jason Lane.

 

Awful, just awful.

[Brewcrewin07]

Well, I guess we'll find out what this team is made of starting this next inning. This could be the game that determines their fate for the rest of the season. Will it be more of the "here we go again" feeling for the guys and they just give up", or will they persevere??

[steve267268]

Doh!

 

Oh well, this lineup has to get more than 2 runs.. Hopefully not less than 4 now.

[phatmatt1215]

I hate Dave Bush..... Stop me if you have heard that before.....

[MoneyballMan]

"I guess I picked the wrong day to stop drinking."

Really -- the mound visit is like the kiss of death of year. It seems to happen about once a week.

[uecker9]

Anytime now offense...

[MoneyballMan]

Whew. I was just thinking with Bill quoting how terrible the Astros catchers are that there'd be no way we'd successfully steal a base tonight!

[adambr2]

I wish someone could find out the ERA of our pitchers in the AB directly following a visit by Mike Maddux this season. I think that would be a very interesting topic of conversation.

[uecker9]

Earl Waever time baby!

It's funny - I am following via Gameday and saw the line "Coaching visit to the mound." Next pitch, gone. Effective talk.

Also, does anyone get pissed off every time they see left field in Houston? It's just so dumb that someone can pop one up and have it end up as a home run (yes, I know Lane's homer was to right). There's no reason Houston shouldn't lead the league in homers.

[MoneyballMan]

He was turning out of the way. Maybe a bit awkward, but he didn't lean in. Maybe they should have appealed to Hirschbeck - I'm sure he would have agreed with Garner.

But what's really funny is that goofy train carrying the big pumpkins that choo choo's across the wall when they hit a HR. As an esteemed colleague said at the game "that's a bit too American League". And yes, the Astros fans around us didn't appreciate us calling them pumpkins.
