Unfortunately, that HBP should not have been. It wasn't far inside and hit Man-Ram because he started leaning in as he prepared to swing.

 

EDIT: And it did hit his hand.

[Oldcity]

I hope the Brewers show some patience today, because DiceK will walk plenty if they let him.

You're just a Tim McCarver fan, aren't ya?

I just enjoy announcers making fools out of themselves. In that regard, McCarver is one of the best in the business.

[Brewer Killa]

Man this is my first IGT of the year, has it been this doom and gloom all season after just ONE run?

Yes and every player has been garbage or sucks during some point. Stop reading now if that is not what you like to see. I take some days off as well seeing the world is ending during every loss here.

 

[HurricaneBraun]

Nice job Prince!

[yfinn6]

Fielder hit the ball, real hard. Wow that was smoked. If that had any height then we have a tie game.

[Oldcity]

Crap, really thought that was out.

[trwi7]

He looked safe.

[Bruce Ciskie]

Suppan = overpaid garbage

 

But I'm over that.

 

Oddly enough, the first pitch to Hardy was a ball twice when Ortiz was batting. Just strange...

[giffted1]

Tie goes to the runner?

[MadisonBrewerBlue]

will someone please shut tim mccarver up........ he is like fingernails on a chalkboard

[trwi7]

Nice hit Hardy, way to drive the ball and knock Prince in.

[Oldcity]

Yay Tim. First I think he was safe. Second, he wasn't trying to sac bunt. He was going for a hit.

[cheesecup22]

another waste of a leadoff double

[Brewer Killa]

Whenever JJ bats I leave the room to get food or use the restroom. Nothing good ever comes of him being at the plate.

[Bruce Ciskie]

Argh. Great work by the 5-6-7 hitters.

[Marc Newfield of Dreams]

Garbage inning. Just awful after they got Fielder over to third.

[HurricaneBraun]

Suppan = overpaid garbage

 

But I'm over that.

yeah, I've noticed that too, this ump's strike zone is a load of crap. Soup couldnt get any calls that first inning

[SZBrewerFan]

JJ could you please do the little things....hit behind runners, sac flies, ground balls to second with a guy on third with less than two outs. You have little to no power (with the exceptions of 2 months last year) and don't hit for a high average. Please do the little things.....so I will like you again!

[Bruce Ciskie]

yeah, I've noticed that too, this ump's strike zone is a load of crap. Soup couldnt get any calls that first inning

 

In fairness, it's not like he deserved any calls with the way he pitched. Dude can't throw half his pitches for balls and then blame the umpire for it.

Pretty much the way I feel about JJ "Backstreet Boy" Hardy. What an awful inning after a nice double by Prince.

 

[BrewCrewForever]

I have a feeling this is the inning it gets out of control.

[jordanmuehl]

Jeez. This better not turn into a big inning...

[trwi7]

God, somebody punch McCarver please.

[mls4]

Bunt from the #5 hitter like they're playing for 1 run? Nonsense in my opinion.
