4/11/08 Brewers (Parra) at Mets (Figueroa): 6:10 PM CDT

[trwi7]

Can anyone tell me why Parra is out after throwing only 70 some pitches? Sorry I just got the game on and can't figure out why I am seeing Riske and not Parra.

 

We had a runner on 2nd with Parra up so Ned pinch hit for him. Dillon walked but the strike zone that expands 5 inches out of the zone against Brewers hitters only means that he actually struck out.

let's just say the mets announcers are conveniently avoiding the topic. puke.

[Getpaddled]

Ned is due for a tossing...

[zurch1818]

Schlitz, you're listening to the Mets broadcast right? Have their announcers been saying anything about the umpires?

No. They called that Joe Dillion pitch a pitch that just caught the outside corner.

 

[chadomac]

WHY does Bill Hall hit 5th? He is AWFUL.

No kidding! That Fielder guy sucks too. We should trade them both!

 

Fielder isn't leading MLB in strikeouts.

[trwi7]

No. They called that Joe Dillion pitch a pitch that just caught the outside corner.

So they're blind, or stupid, or both.

[brains and braun]

Nelson wondering why that last pitch wasn't a strike.

Seems like an interesting move. I guess I can't agree or disagree with the move seeing as I haven't seen the whole game but that doesn't seem to bode well for setting up our pen for the rest of this series.

[Schlitz001]

They've replayed a couple called third strikes and questioned them, notably Brauns. They also replayed Figueroa getting into first base late and said that it was the wrong call.

 

EDIT: I think the way Kiwi Brewer described it is adequate.

[crewcrazy]

Jose Reyes out of the game with a tight hamstring...hopefully the Brewers can take advantage with both Castillo and Reyes out now.

 

Phillies take a 4-3 lead over the Cubs on an RBI double by Pat Burrell. A total of 4 HR's in that game already and it's only the 6th inning.

[MarquetteBrewFan]

Cubs down 4-3 in the 6th against PHI right now.

[steve267268]

It was the right call, in my opinion. Parra had no chance of getting a hit and Dillon ACTUALLY drew a walk despite the horrible call by blue...

[MarquetteBrewFan]

I wish they had weeks running, try to get him to 2nd for fielder and braun. They guy is only throwing 83

[brains and braun]

Princey boy!

[Bruce Ciskie]

So between the bad umpiring and bad hitting and bad weather, I'm glad this game isn't on DirecTV?

 

OK. Hope we win, anyway.

[MarquetteBrewFan]

lol the strike zone is getting better and better every inning

[crewcrazy]

Prince breaks the 0-for-13 drought! They're aliiiiiiiiiive! http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

[theavrock]

That a way Prince! Keep eating that tofu son!

[MarquetteBrewFan]

Braun is the master of getting to 0-2 counts as fast as possible

[crewcrazy]

Wow...nice running basket catch by Beltran. Jerk.

[MarquetteBrewFan]

rofl i would have loved to see Gross do that

 

Another nice play in CF by the opponent

Badgerfan, there is no point even bothering with responding to nonsense posts like the one above

[Schlitz001]

Anyone else get to see the replay of Fielder's bat nailing the home-plate umpire in the head? Great stuff.

[fondybrewfan]

And Ryan's walkless streak reaches 43 PA's (Not advocating a walk there, but you get my drift)

[steve267268]

Don't worry, we'll have something pretty similar to that when Mike Cameron comes back

 

Which deserves its own topic, but when the season started i loved TGjr out there.. Now it's gross and i'm counting the days...
