6/28/08 Brewers (Parra) at Twins (Hernandez): 6:10 PM CDT

[crewcrazy]

3 K's in one inning against Livan? That's pretty sad. Here to another 0 on the board for the Twins. Against the Twins I dont feel comfortable with a five-run lead. They are the kind of team that scratches out one run in an inning, than two in the next and all the sudden are right back in it.

We learned that the hard way last night. That one's going to sting for awhile.

Nice double play, J.J. Seems like he's had a lot more of those double play chances this year now that he doesn't have to worry about covering Braun's left and Rickie's right at the same time.

I don't get FSN at home but i am out of the state for a month so I just picked up MLB.tv for a month and I have loved watching Hardy play defense. He may not have amazing range but he has looked really good to me out there. He has made some nice plays the past couple days.

The Brewers hitters are famous for scoring early runs and then doing nothing the rest of the game while slowly allowing the other team to get back into it. I hope this isn't one of those games.

Don't look now but Manny's ERA is under 4.00.

[crewcrazy]

Cards up 4-0, FWIW.

 

Hopefully Manny can get in one more inning before handing it over to the pen.

Why exactly is Parra still out there?

[burniebrewer]

Great job, Manny. He's gotta be done at about 110 pitches.

[crewcrazy]

Some more runs would be nice if Riske's coming into the game for the 8th.

[LaprilOne]

Why exactly is Parra still out there?

Exactly, why not?

[crewcrazy]

Parra was over 100 pitches to start the inning, has a history of injuries, and the Brewers are supposedly trying to keep his innings down. It worked out this time, though -- he was fortunate enough to get a quick inning.

 

Nice sliding catch by Cameron....that's why he's worth every penny, IMO.

[burniebrewer]

Nice inning by Riske.

[crewcrazy]

A 1-2-3 inning was exactly what Riske needed after a couple rough outings since coming back.

I was at the Blue Jays game with 6 runs in the 9th. It'll be the only game I get to this year. I will not be able to feel comfortable with a 5 run lead the rest of the year. Let's get some runs.

Well, then managment made a gut decision that Parra had some gas left, and went with him.

 

Good call for a guy oftened faulted as being "bound by the book."

[olsonnet]

Nice catch, but wouldn't have been a HR - he caught it too far in front of the wall.

[GoudaBrew]

Isn't that the 2nd 3 pitch K from Prince tonight? He needs to think up there at the plate. Quit swinging at everything, man. They aren't even throwing you stikes.

[razzzorsharp]

Stetter closing this out tonight, I feel good about that.

[LaprilOne]

Sign Kubel!

[cnycerveceros]

is a shut out too much to ask?

[cnycerveceros]

good win

[crewcrazy]

Brewers win! 4.5 behind the Cubs...looks like the Cards are going to win tonight, though. Take the series with Sheets on the mound tomorrow and head out to Arizona. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

Good roar from the crowd when Stetter recorded the final out. On to game 3 tomorrow.

[burniebrewer]

Nice win tonight.

 

Too bad for Twins fans, they were so close to free Webb burgers.http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/tongue.gif

Royals were looking to come back but had a runner thrown out at the plate on the same play they scored their only run.

No HR for Branyan tonight, looks like he needs two tomorrow to make my prediction of 3 this weekend correct.
