6/22/07 Royals (De La Rosa) @ Brewers (Suppan): 7:05 PM CDT

[Bruce Ciskie]

I was tucking my son into bed. What happened?

[sauveb]

Braun walked. The SS came in to talk to the pitcher and the 2b took a short walk toward right. No one called time so Braun stole second.

[JET15]

Braun was walked and he just kept going right on to second. It was like I was watching my daughter's softball game.

[JET15]

Villy is golden. Well, olive... golden's not in the pallette

[tigerbrew]

CV is a stud, strikes out the side with ease.

[packfan79]

With Villy dealing and there already being two outs I wonder if there was any thought of leaving him in to finish.

[kiwi brewer]

i'm enjoying jim p's diatribe about the fans of baseball right now. good stuff.

[Vgmastr]

I heart Corey.

[DougJones43]

Sometimes, I can't even believe how awesome Corey Hart is. Power, gets on base, speed, good defense. The man is amazing.

[PeaveyFury]

So apparently all of that Hart love that was being thrown around this place may have been justified.......

 

 

That was a monster HR.

[The Big Cheese]

Wow, Corey Hart baby! Maybe the Grady Sizemore comparisons are accurate when describing him. What a great all-around player...

[tigerbrew]

Corey Hart Rulez! Best leadoff hitter in the majors. Man, is he on fire!

[Schlitz001]

Wow, just wow. Not saying anything new, but Corey Hart is really on a tear.

He'll NEVER be any good. He keeps his back elbow too low when he hits! His legacy with the Brewers will be a long foul ball during his first call up. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

Man, Corey Hart is on fire! I love the doorman. He's always in view on the replay of home runs, and his reactions are seemingly instantaneous.

 

If Corey Hart keeps hitting with this much power, do you move him to the middle of the lineup so he can hit with more runners on? That's the ironic quandry a team has when their batter at the top of the lineup becomes a complete hitter. It's definitely a good problem to have.

Why is Turnbow in with a 5 run lead?

Personally, I love him in the leadoff spot. His OBP is great, his speed is great, his SB% is solid, he usually puts together quality at-bats (something Weeks can struggle with), and I don't think power is "wasted" in the lead-off spot as much as people think. I like the tone he sets at the top of the order.

Villanueva.......He'll NEVER be any good. He has a weak fastball and he doesn't really have any plus pitches. Oh well, at least we only traded John Wayne Franklin for him.

[kiwi brewer]

Couldn't agree more, Doug.

[ReverendBrewmeister]

Yost had Turnbow warmed up before the Hart homer, when it was a two-run game. Might as well use him, since he's ready-to-go, since the going theory is that when a reliever is warmed, it's just as much strain to have him pitch as not to (or something like that).

[DougJones43]

Wow. I can't believe Suppan is going to get a Win for his performance tonight.

[TheBwaz]

I'll throw the Big Ben

 

That is why W-L is a bad predictor of a SP's ability. Suppan was...um...not 8 win worthy tonight. But he got it.

[saget]

I'm buying a Villy t-shirt and that's all there is to it.

[DHonks]

great game for the Crew tonight. Suppan can struggle all he wants as long as we win. It's the low scoring affairs that I want him sharp for.

I second this
