5/17/08 Brewers (Suppan) at Red Sox (Matsuzaka): 2:55 PM CDT -- Let's Try This Again!

Look, I know he's not that great and he's probably overpaid, but I'm just wondering if anyone was calling Suppan garbage and saying they "hate" him on April 2, April 8, April 19, April 24, May 6, or May 11.

I agree. He has had two (and now more than likely 3) terrible starts. To go along 5 really good starts and one average start. Is he worth his contract..no, but he is not terrible or garbage as some have claimed

 

And if he can get through 5 or 6 today without any more runs, this would be far from a terrible start. Not a "good" start, but not terrible.

 

[dlk9s]

Those were some nasty pitches by Dice-K to Prince.

 

Hart should bunt here.

[LaprilOne]

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

 

You'd certainly think so, given some of the posts so far today.

 

Garbage? Game over? Nothing to enjoy after one hour? And I thought the FOX announcers' attitude on the Brewers (motto: FOX loves SOX) was bad.

 

I acknowledge that the short-term outlook is not promising for this game, but if all you're going to do is run down the Brewers and assume things are hopeless, why hang out here?

The word "garbage" is a favorite here, followed closely by "idiot."

 

It seems many here are superior, and love to throw base insults at any chance.

[Oldcity]

Well that was a fun inning for the 3-4-5 guys. Crap.

[mls4]

Yes, but if he can catch the Sox off-guard and bunt for a hit, why not give it a shot? In my opinion, considering how crappy our hitters are doing (I know Hart is batting .300), we don't do stuff like that enough. If Hart lays a decent bunt down, he's safe easily.

Wrong timing. Not with a runner in scoring position and the bottom of the order coming up.

 

[dlk9s]

Is it just me, or do the Brewers seem tired or something today? Their bats seem slow - they don't seem to have much life at the plate.

[dlk9s]

I know some of them are old jokes, but Uecker is so awesome.

[Oldcity]

Ok, I had never actually heard that tuba story. Awesome.

[Oldcity]

Are you kidding me ump!? Give us a chance? That second pitch to Hardy wasn't close!

[Oldcity]

Beautiful AB there by Hall.

[jordanmuehl]

Atta boy, Billy. Second knock of the day.

[jjfanec]

way to lean into that one Kendall

[jjfanec]

What was Hall doing there? No reason to be too far off the base there. At first glance I thought Lugo missed the tag but on second viewing he looking out to me

[trwi7]

Wow, Hall is very lucky, he was out. One of the worst base runners I've ever seen.

[cheesecup22]

thats fortunate... hall is such a bad baserunner tho

[Gobias Industries]

Dana Demuth is a bad ump.

[hurricanecrush]

Lean into it Rickie

[HurricaneBraun]

Com'on Mike, base hit please!

[TSack27]

I know I'm getting greedy, but this would be a nice spot for an HR... especially following Billy's non-out at second. It sure would be nice to be on the other end of runs being scored when an inning was extended by some questionable umpiring.

[cheesecup22]

there was the chance to get back in the game... so frustrating

[HurricaneBraun]

ugh

[brewmann04]

Camernon is horrible and he should be batting 9th

[BrewCrewForever]

Cameron has been awful since that first Cubs game and a little bit of the Houston series.

[Gobias Industries]

Man. I thought that it was hit much harder right off the bat.

[Oldcity]

Camernon is horrible and he should be batting 9th

You could say that about 4 or 5 guys in the lineup. Who are they supposed to hit first, second, sixth, seventh? Too many guys aren't hitting.
