4/19/07 Pirates (Duke) @ Brewers (Suppan): 12:05 PM CDT

[mastershake76]

I guess a multi-hit game out of Suppan today would have been asking a bit much.

[funkyplaidcoat]

I think we can safely say that with this lead, we can absorb a few errors. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

[TuesdaysWithRillo]

I can see Miller Park outside my window here at the office and the roof is closed.

[DHonks]

Suppan might be able to get a CG here. With a lead like this, he'll put it in cruise control and just throw sinkers on the corners. I would think he should have 110 pitches in his tank.

[Team Canada]

He probably has no chance at a CG now, he's thrown a ton of pitches this inning. 91 Total, but at least he should be able to do 7.

[owbc]

Looks like he might not even get to pitch the 7th after that bomb.

[BrewCrewForever]

I'll take 6 or 7 from our starters any day.

[DHonks]

I think I'd turn it over to Villanueva at this point. Let him go the final 3, and get some work in

[BrewCrewForever]

Even if Suppan is done, very good outing again today.

[EinhornIsFinkle]

I predict a triple.

[funkyplaidcoat]

Without a day off until next thursday, I'd like to see 6+ or 7 today.

[EinhornIsFinkle]

Well I am certainly no Bert Blyleven when it comes to calls http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

if the pitch count was lower I'd agree. But 95 already, I'm more reluctant. I'd consider Villanueva for 3 innings to conserve the pen.

Fielder int walked to get to Bill Hall....MAKE THEM PAY!

[BrewCrewForever]

Man Hall and Mench make outs, whats this world coming to?

[DHonks]

the good news is that we face another lefty on Saturday. Lefties sure have helped get Hart, Hall, and JJ going.

[raven2479]

Or not....

 

I really like Weeks when he gets on base. Coming into today he was on base 19 times and scored 14 of them....LOVING IT!

[pogokat]

the offense is rolling today....man, i wish i wasnt at work!!!!

 

doug---how are you watching this?

[funkyplaidcoat]

I'd consider Villanueva for 3 innings to conserve the pen.

 

looks like you made the manager's call. let's get 3 out of him and call it a series.

[DHonks]

doug---how are you watching this?

 

I'm not. Got the trusted MLB gametracker up. I just know that when you have a 3 inning guy like Villanueva, this is a better role than trying to bring him in with 1 out in the 6th in a 4-3 game, and a runner on second. Let him start innings, and have it set up where he can go several innings and get some flow on the mound

[DHonks]

plus...it'd be fun to see him get a save

[clancyphile]

Will JJ get another shot at the cycle?

[hawing]

I'd consider Villanueva for 3 innings to conserve the pen.

 

You win at Ned Yost's life!

[bobskube]

It seems to sound like you guys think this game is in the bag. It is not close to being finished.

 

Let's not get too excited yet.

[uwisfan]

on one hand, there is a ton of game left. On the other hand, the Brewers have Cordero and Turnbow both available tonight.
