You mean 8th WNTB?

[trwi7]

Kapler sure is gritty, or crappy, whichever you prefer.

[Hate those Rodents]

Kapler now 0-3...

[DrWood]

why is kapler playing against lilly? he's only 4 for 22 coming into the game against him, with a sub .600 OPS.

If you play matchups--which is what platooning is--then you should play the matchup, not just blindly do it.

[sheetswannabe]

Fielder angry... Give the man a Hamburger!!

[trwi7]

Skaalen telling Rock to shut up about manufacturing runs-best bit ever!

 

My sound isn't working. What did he say?

[Fear The Chorizo]

Kapler looks like he's just flailing at the ball...

 

 

c'mon Prince, don't waste that leadoff double

[MillerParkSouth]

please tell me we're not going to waste a lead off double by Kendall.

[Wisco92]

Prince wasn't in pain...he was just deciding whether to spare Lilly's life.

[ELCABALLO45]

Lilly.. Do it again.. And I will hunt you down.

[sheetswannabe]

Is it just me or does Lilly kinda look like Maddux?

[yfinn6]

Fielder looks like he wants to rip off Lilly's head.

[Oldcity]

Kapler batting second against any pitcher is pretty outrageous.

[endaround]

Skaalen telling Rock to shut up about manufacturing runs-best bit ever!

My sound isn't working. What did he say?

Rock was talking about how well the Brewers were manufacturing runs today (!?!)and Skaalen comes back with "Yeah, Weeks did a good job of manufacturing with that first pitch there"

 

[sheetswannabe]

3 Brewers players hit by pitches in 2 games....hmmm

[GormanHarvey]

Typically I would reserve any criticism oof Kapler because it is so early, but he has looked especially bad at the plate today

[Oldcity]

Watching on gamecast. Was it intentional?

[SoCalBrewfan]

Well there's the first example of the pitcher batting 9th working. It is going to go both ways but it has worked here.

 

Except don't forget that Suppan batted with a runner on second and two out last inning...a Kendall double there (admittedly a big assumption) would have been purty neat. Still, Kendall leading off an inning is better than the pitcher any day, and I'm glad Ned has shown a willingness to learn and try new things.

[RightFieldCoder]

2 Right handed batters to follow? I think there's 8 right handed batters to follow Prince.

[derflotr]

Come on Braun/Hall. I want me some Hart/Hart action

[Hate those Rodents]

Gwynn is too old to be playing every game for one month. No reason to go with the hot hand if he's not a switch hitter...

[ELCABALLO45]

Yeah he kinda does look like Maddux

[ELCABALLO45]

They would of pitched around Kendall and faced Suppan.

[sheetswannabe]

I dont understand switching DeRosa with Fotenot..

 

BRAUN!!!

[Getpaddled]

What can Braun do for you?
