    HEY EVERYBODY! Gagne is warming up.

    When Kapler came up I, too, was thinking he should lay one down. He has the speed to possibly beat it out and he had been struggling at the plate. He did hit it hard, though. Just went right to Glaus. As for the "classic Bill Hall" comment, I assume it was in reference to him striking out. He had a pretty nice at-bat there - laid off some tough pitches. He just happened to get fooled by a high fastball at the end (which didn't even look like what Molina wanted). You know, sometimes guys don't get base hits.

    Don't worry about Atlanta. They're 9 games behind us. If they catch us, we have much bigger things with which to be concerned.
  4. dlk9s
    I'm sure glad we got a pretty effective lefty out of the bullpen.
  5. dlk9s
    I don't care if a guy swings at the first pitch if it's a good pitch to hit. The one Weeks swung at to start the game was a good pitch to hit.

    If the Dbacks catch us, we have more problems than just that.

    Yeah, I believe it was Bucknor. He was African-American (I assume that narrows it down). He seemed to have a very strict interpretation of the strike zone. If a ball missed (most of the time) by even a hair, it was a ball. I'm sure the pitchers weren't thrilled, but Bucknor was calling it accurately. The ESPN crew questioned a bunch of close ones that he called balls, but whenever they put that K-zone overlay on the screen, it showed that they were, in fact, balls every time. I didn't really notice the players giving him looks or questioning him. I'm so used to umps calling things a half foot outside or an inch off the ground strikes that it made this ump look like he was squeezing the pitchers.

    This has nothing to do with Tichenor, but I thought the home plate ump for the first game was very good. At first, his strike zone looked a little tight, but I realized it was because it was actually CORRECT, which is odd looking compared to some of the zones we've seen. The only pitch I thought was called wrong was the one Hall looked at for strike three. It was close, though.

    Meh. We all know they have the bats to score runs. They're just in a slump right now. That said, I hope it continues for a long time. This division just got interesting.

    I am very happy I was able to witness the Bizarro Brewers, as it might be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity: 1) Mota pitches a scoreless 6th in a one-run game. 2) Gagne pitches a scoreless 7th in a one-run game. 3) Torres blows a save. 4) Torres bats in the 10th (and hits the crap out of the ball, although it was caught). 5) McClung gets a nice hit to extend a rally. 6) Kendall has multiple extra-base hits. 7) Hall rakes against righties. 8) Hall steals second on Molina. 9) Braun goes 0-6 on a night where the rest of the team gets 16 hits. 10) The home plate umpire was GOOD. 11) Nobody on the Brewers swung at bad pitches.

    They HAVE hit Piniero. The problem is, a few have been robbed.
  12. dlk9s
    Neither pitcher is fooling anybody tonight. Some of our guys have been swinging early in the at-bat, but they've been swinging at good pitches to hit. Through 3, I haven't seen any Brewers swing at crap. It shows how lousy umpiring is around the league that this home plate ump's strike zone looks tiny, yet it's actually extremely accurate.
  13. dlk9s
    Actually, I think it might be time to admit that the Cardinals are pretty good. And that's without Carpenter and without Wainwright for much of the season.
  14. dlk9s
    Melvin should have waited until we played the Phillies. Maybe he could've gotten Chase Utley.
  15. dlk9s
    I echo the sentiments here. Not a "must win" by any means, but a win tonight would be huge with Ben and CC still left to pitch in the series. Tomorrow is the only pitching matchup which clearly favors St. Louis. I definitely would be perfectly content with a split in the series, but I have visions of series wins against St. Louis and Chicago dancing in my head. I wish the game wasn't on ESPN, though. I never feel comfortable when the Brewers are on ESPN. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

    It was a lot of fun finally being able to watch the Brewers on the free Extra Innings preview this weekend....oh, wait....

    I'm rooting for only 1 wild pitch from Manny today. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/tongue.gifhttp://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

    3 game trip in which they miss Haren and Webb. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/frown.gif

    Only a few weeks ago, the Cards and Brewers crept about this close and then the Cubs tacked on about 3 more games of cushion.
  20. dlk9s
    Every dog has his day. Heck, Ben Sheets has an RBI double.
  21. dlk9s
    Can we face Yabu every game, please? If I recall correctly, we lit him up in Milwaukee, too. EDIT: "lit him up" may not be the appropriate phrase, as he did get 3 of 4 batters out. But the one he didn't, Bill Hill, hit a three-run homer.
  22. dlk9s
    Sanchez has a chance to be a very, very good pitcher if he figures out how to throw more strikes. I remember he had nasty stuff when we faced him the first time, but we eventually knocked him around.
  23. dlk9s
    Off topic: Am I a bad person for being happy that Ian Kinsler's hitting streak was broken? I just don't want anyone to beat Molitor.
  24. dlk9s
    I've never gone out, gotten drunk, and picked a fight, but I kind of want to now and bring Prince and CC with me. EDIT: And maybe McClung, too.
  25. dlk9s
    On base thrice tonight - the questionable call at first, the base hit up the middle, and a walk.
