Beat the Cubs!

[heresrobin]

I think that it is also important to point out that Braun has a robust 1.954 OPS against lefties in 16 ABs. Small sample size, but it's fun to just type that OPS - I couldn't help myself.

 

Ryan Braun likes lefties

 

And Woogie, you're a God among men. Nice work.

[wibadgers23]

Yeah, thanks Woogie for your hard work. I love the graphics. I have a feeling you might be adding a Will Inman tracker soon too.

[DHonks]

I love that you get the new threads up so fast Woogie. Great job

 

Also interesting to read on brewers.com that Hart was unavailable on Monday night. Like I always say, nearly every time I question a move of Ned's with the bullpen or pinch hitting, I later read that there was a very good reason for it. Once again, the trend continues.

[And That]

Agreed, excellent hiding-job with Hart. Even sending him up to pinch hit was pretty good.

 

Winning today would put the Brewers up 7 games on the Cubs. I realize it is April, but that's pretty demoralizing.

 

Edit: And, well, go Cards!

[sheetswannabe]

WOOGIE FOR PRESIDENT!! Hopefully Big Ben can take this one over, and Edge out Lilly. I have a feeling the rains gonna win this one. Hows Inman doing?

So far, so good for Inman. After tonight, his ERA is at 1.19 with 29 K's and only 5 walks. I anticipate him wearing a Huntsville uniform very soon.

Man, am I up and down on Yost. I was pissed the other night during the Aquino blow up, but Ennder talked me down and some other recent moves now have me thinking Yost is doing a really good job so far.

[berniebrewer4life]

So what are the odds taht this game is actually played?

[wibadgers23]

According to weather.com, there's a 50% chance of rain from 10am through pretty much the rest of the day.

[And That]

I'd be more than OK with a postponement. Makes the pitching matchups against the 'Stros a lot better as opposed to wasting Sheets against the Cubs.

[MadisonBrewerBlue]

this is a kick the cubs when they are down game. if the real BIG BEN shows up i'm predicting

a _ _ _ _ _ < ----- insert word here.

[TheEndless7]

I like the sound of 'Chart O' Braun' and 'Chart O' Yo'

 

Here's to hoping our all righty lineup shows Ted Lilly who's boss!

[Team Canada]

Man, Lee owns Sheets, of course he owns the Brewers in general.

 

Heck, so does Zambrano for that matter.

[DHonks]

The Cubs radio broadcast made it sound like the game should be played tomorrow.

 

Also, I would expect Sheets to try with Lee what he has with Pujols. He will likely throw some changeups early in the count, so he cannot try to hammer them before Sheets gets in a curveball count.

 

Also, did anyone ever hear what pitches Ben was throwing in his last start. That mystery 90 pitch still baffles me. Every fastball was moving 94-96. His curve and changeup sit in the 81-85 mph range. But what was he throwing 90? It dove down and in to righties. At first I thought it was a changeup with a faulty radar reading. But he had several of them, including one that he struck a righty out looking with. Is this a two seamer? Last year Maddux tried teaching him a cutter, but that would move the opposite way. Was it something like a forkball?

[sbrylski]

Doug, I'd guess it was just a 2-seamer.

[kalle8]

next game for the brewers is in houston according to mlb.com

[wOOgiE22]

There looks like there is a break in the radar and we might be able to get this game in today.

[rluzinski]

I'd rather Sheets just pitch on normal rest. I'd also like an 8 inning start from Sheets that results in a blow out. It would be nice to rest almost the entire bullpen for 2 days. They need it.

 

I'd also like to sweep the Cubs!

[hawing]

Well, the Brewers certainly have momentum right now, so it would be nice to not have the schedule interrupted again.

 

Plus check out Graffanino v. Lilly in the splits. How often does that happen? http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

 

I brought one of our Brewers umbrellas to work today, so rainout or no, I'm showing my team love.

Not looking promising.

[BrewCrewForever]

Woogie is epic! All the graphics rock and now a Yo tracker. Amazing. Come on Big Ben!

[TheBwaz]

RADAR LINK

 

Being in aviation prior to law, I always go off radar day of. The parts over Chicago seem to be moving off and the parts to the west seem stalled. I think the game gets played, with occasional light spitty stuff like the late innings of last night.

 

TheBwaz's forecast is for game on. Just leave the s_____ suits at home lads.

[DrG1ue]

Not sure if anyone heard Cappy on Bob&Brian this morning, but at least he is under the impression that there should be a couple of hours (between 2-5) that the game could be squeezed in.

 

Here's to taking the lead early, having the game called in the 6th, saving our bullpen.

[tookej]

Woogie, great job on the graphics. I vote Brian gives you a big cut of all the profits! Very nice work and keep it up.
