4/27/08 Marlins (Nolasco) at Brewers (Parra): 1:05 PM CDT

[GormanHarvey]

Counsell looking real shaky at 3rd today. Least he got the out

[GormanHarvey]

Did that pitch just register at 94 from Riske? Where did that come from?

[And That]

That's the third ball Counsell has had pop out of his glove. Maybe he forgot he his 3B glove at home and is going with the 2B model today.

[Lake Geneva Brewer Fan]

Come on, Crew - let's score some runs!!! (was that okay?)

[GormanHarvey]

Woo-hoo! A clean inning for Riske! April is almost over, maybe he will turn it around now like last year. I have my doubts though

[owbc]

Nice work by Riske. He needed that.

[owbc]

Update: Cubs lose 2-0. :-)

[GormanHarvey]

Come on, Crew - let's score some runs!!! (was that okay?)

I don't, you better be careful - you might offend the Brewers hitters (if you can call them that)

I was really hoping Ned was going to go out and argue balls and strikes on that pitch that Uggla walked on and get tossed and at least try to fire up this team. Its time to start trying something, anything

[GormanHarvey]

Everything we hit hard is right at people, or dies at the wall. Are there not any gaps in Miller Park?

[bbaehman]

Right at 'em

[uwisfan]

I'm not sure where Riske's first pitch registered, but it looked like an old Turnbow fastball..was surprised to see it.

[GormanHarvey]

Way to come storming back guys!

[Glennron]

Is it me, or is every Corey hart out a 300 foot kind-of line drive right at someone? I know he's hitting it pretty well but man is it frustrating.

[HurricaneBraun]

There are when the other team is hitting.

[owbc]

Sooner or later some of these line drives will start falling in.

 

I will also suggest that Miller Park is playing more as a pitchers park so far this year, as I have seen lots of hard hit balls die at the wall. Even Prince's bomb last night seemed to die out, and it only made it over the wall by about 10 feet. Once the weather warms up and we get some games with the roof open, I suspect the balls will start to fly out with a greater frequency.

[GormanHarvey]

C'mon Derrick. Get us through the inning. Maybe they will walk in a couple runs for us yet. Might be our only hope

[adambr2]

Seriously... how good has our starting pitching been?

 

Usually just a little bit worse than theirs.

[TSack27]

True, but I did like Brian Anderson's comment on that, something like, "Corey, the fielder has been standing in that same spot for 120 years... hit it somewhere else".

 

[Ennder]

Yeah turnbow, must be the ball and not that you can't throw it for strikes...

[GormanHarvey]

Not a good start...

[WV Brew]

Vintage Turnbow.

[owbc]

Here we go again...

[yfinn6]

I really, really don't like the direction this game is headed. I want to keep watching it, but I think I'm only going to get frustrated. Wait, I've been frustrated for the last week with this team. What is 2 more innings going to hurt. C'mon Marlins, make it quick...get it over with.

[owbc]

The thing is, a 7-1 loss would actually feel less painful than 2-1.

[HurricaneBraun]

I bet that leadoff walk will score and then some
