So why is Villanueva hitting? Edit: Because he's a better hitter than Duffy, McGehee or Rivera. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

Are you serious Macha? We're intentionally walking a player on a 2-2 count?

Nice defense Kendall. The only reason you actually play and you suck at it.

Just ridiculously awful defense in this game. Pathetic throw by Hall and pathetic pick by Prince.

PRINCE!!!! CLUTCH!!!!!!!

Brian: "The Brewers are a very good fastball hitting team." Yeah, what team isn't?

Well this sucks. Iced Coffey tonight.

Cooper is screaming at DiMuro. Bill: "I don't know why Cecil got thrown out." It really is a mystery Bill.

Just noticed this, but does anybody think Mike DiMuro looks a little bit like Lance Berkman?

This chart also worked for Jim Edmonds.

BILL HALL TIES IT!

Mike DiMuro is a bad, bad umpire. Pitch two, which was called a ball was closer to the plate than "strike three."

Blum is 13-24 in his career against Suppan with a 1.518 OPS. So while it is Geoff Blum, Geoff Blum has smacked Suppan around.

Just got back from the Rattlers game (Rattlers won 5-3.) Wily Peralta was consistently 92-94 on his fastball and hit 97 in the first inning. He struggled a little with control as the game went on and ended up walking 3. He showed a pretty nice slider as well in the 82-84 range and what looked to be a couple changeups that was a swing and miss pitch from the two times he threw it. Brandon Ritchie was okay. 88-91 on his fastball usually. The gun hit 96 one time, not sure if that was accurate. Showed a breaking ball in the 77-78 range. Cody Adams was pretty disappointing to me. He threw about 35 pitches and I can't remember what the number was exactly, but almost the same number of balls and strikes. The scouting reports I've read have said his fastball is usually in the low 90s and occasionally in the mid 90s, but throughout his three innings he was consistently in the 87-89 range. The highest reading he got was 92. He did have some nice sink on it however. Cutter Dykstra looked okay at the plate. Not so great in the field. First batter of the game was a line drive at him. He started to go back on it and realized it was in front of him so he had to come back and dive for it just barely grabbing it before it hit the ground. Lawrie looked decent at the plate as well. A couple of hard hit ground balls, a couple snuck through for hits. One was iffy, Flaherty went into the hole to get it and bobbled it. Would've been a close play had he fielded it cleanly, but they ruled it a single. He looked fine to me on defense. He had a play where he ranged way into the outfield grass towards first base and made a strong throw just late. Don't worry about his error either, it was a wide throw on a steal attempt that he got a glove on but the runner was coming in on him and he had to jump and try to catch the ball and it got away. John Delaney impressed me. He's not very big, but he hit it hard a few times tonight. Michael Marseco is tiny. I mean unbelieveably tiny. He's listed as 145 pounds and I even doubt that. He was pretty good at SS, but awful with the bat. He's never going to hit. His best hope to make the majors is learning a couple other positions (SS, 2B, CF) and be a defensive replacement/pinch runner imo. Kjeldgaard had a good game. Worked the count, got a couple of walks and hit an absolute bomb about 5 rows up in the second deck in right field. Very nice crowd tonight. 17,880 and for the most part they were loud and into the game. Oh yeah, and the Rattlers are totally the Brewers affiliate. They had the bases loaded and no outs twice in the game and scored one run. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

Brett Lawrie is a triples machine.

Is the T-Rats offense finally breaking out? 7 runs in game one and 4 so far in game two in three innings.

It's your lucky day. The game is being replayed at 7 tonight.

Didn't expect the Phillies' fans to cheer for Bush as he came off the mound. Very nice gesture.

Okay, 110 pitches, no need to keep him in.

Well that sucks.

That was just an incredibly awesome play by Hall.

LOL. Bush's wife and daughter are at the game. His wife looks nervous, his daughter is sleeping.

Hey Billy!

That sucks to be a Philly fan or any fan in Philly who drops a foul ball. Feel the wrath of the fans.

Yeah Howard kind of did his homerun pose. The little swagger and then put the bat down and started a slow walk. I thought it was at least a double.
