4/14/07 Brewers (Suppan) @ Cardinals (Wells): 6:10 PM CDT

[643allstarz]

the AAA box score needs to be framed after tonight

 

sure kinda makes you excited about the future

[littledoc83]

Braun is wearing #8 tonight

 

OPS as of now is 1.261

[craigharmann]

Has any pitcher, major league or minor league, hit for the cycle? I'm guessing not.

[Schlitz001]

Kip Wells was originally a pick by the Milwaukee Brewers in the 58th round. News to me.

[tigerbrew]

Come on Brewers, let's get Suppan more runs.

Here's another headscratcher... we're batting 262 vs our opponent's 256 with runners on. When you qualify it to runners in scoring position however, we drop to 192 and our opponents stay only drop to 246.

 

Why? I mean, we all feel the pain of it and suspect that drop from watching the games, but what gives? I don't get how our approach changes or whatever

You can find a whole lot of weird splits 9 games into a season.

Thanks littledoc, so is #8 Brauns number througout the minors and at Miami?

[brettac1]

What would we get for Vargas that would be better than having 7 or 8 legit starters

 

Hopefully more prospects. The Brewers are graduating so many of them at once that they kind of need to replenish the upper levels. He's not going to fetch much, but the most important thing trading him does is open up a spot for Gallardo. They'd still have 6 starters that are average or above, maybe even 7 if you were to throw Dessens into the discussion. Parra could very well be in the mix by that time, too (he should be in AAA by then).

The Braun-Tracker is gonna look mighty impressive tomorrow....what's the over/under on his OPS going into tomorrow's game thread? 7 million? infinity?

---

It looks like he is at 1.261 after his first three AB's with a SLG of .867.

 

Not too shabby.

[littledoc83]

Braun reaches on an error, but still gets RBI

 

This lowers his OPS to a measly 1.221

[643allstarz]

get braun out of there, can't even hit 4 homers in a game

[littledoc83]

so is #8 Brauns number througout the minors and at Miami?

Braun wore # 8 at Miami and through the minors. I know he actually wore 18 for a while with Milwaukee. I know that 18 is what Gross wears now.... so not sure how that worked.

[BrewCrewForever]

Thanks for the Braun # info. Come on Suppan!

[tigerbrew]

#8 is a lucky and auspicious number for the chinese. Currently Rottino wears that number with the Brewers.

[DHonks]

As of now, assuming good health, I envision Gallardo coming up in September to work out of the bullpen and get comfortable in the big leagues.

 

That could all change, but I don't see us dealing Vargas at this point. It's possible he gets shifted to the pen since he has such a power arm.

[craigharmann]

Heck of a start for Soup....gotta hold on and get him the W

[jloos19]

Nice outing by Suppan, now hopefully Shouse can get us out of this jam.

[And That]

Gallardo just struck out Lastings Milledge... for the third time today.

[littledoc83]

Braun - Must be a Jewish thing.

 

Braun Article

[TheCrew07]

Yo laboring a bit, all of a sudden having trouble finding the zone, up around 100 pitches though too.

[DHonks]

huge out for Shouse. Let's get through this inning and give it to the gas throwers

[tigerbrew]

Yo 12Ks in 6 innings so far.

[raven2479]

Yo is done for sure 100 pitches through 6, but only 3 hits and had 12ks. Not bad for the kid! http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

[craigharmann]

Shouse gets the out and now its Aquino....I really like how he's been pitching. Been solid so far.

[craigharmann]

Crap. 3-2
