on field delay?

 

Umpire conference about Cameron's homerun - Arizona was arguing it was foul.

[Braminano]

A rare "awful call goes to the Brewers way".

[HurricaneBraun]

So was it fair or foul?

[Menotti80]

so it was a bad call? or did it hit the pole?

[MadisonBrewerBlue]

it wasnt an awful call. it grazed the foul pole

[SeriesFinale]

Four pitch walk to Manny, Webb's toast

 

I wish we played AZ more often

[HurricaneBraun]

Webb is falling apart.

[crossface21]

Why is it that the Brewers always seem to get handcuffed by some no-name pitcher, then go out and pound the big named ones??

[MadisonBrewerBlue]

popeye sure is having a nice game... he even has a SB

[owbc]

I'd rather have them beat the big name pitchers. That will come in handy if we make the playoffs.

[Menotti80]

crossface, that should put us in good shape for the playoffs!!! (if we ever get there)

[crossface21]

How nice is this going to be if JJ comes up with the bases loaded? I'd say Webb would then be gone.

[RayKingsForemanGrill]

Forgive me, but does Parra still qualify as a rookie?

[crossface21]

Double, HR, double so far for Hardy. He should hit another HR right here!

[phxMILWfan]

I don't think it hit the pole. Looked foul, third base umpire ran down the line had a great view of it. Diamondbacks bullpen, sitting right under the pole argued it was foul. The umpire talked it over with the rest of the umpires who didn't have a good view of it and decided to call it fair, saying it scraped the pole. Darron Sutton and Mark Grace made the point that don't you think the bullpen full of players right there wouldn't have protested if it hit the pole because they would have heard it ding. When the ball hits the pole it makes a sound... I'll take the bad call but it was clearly foul.

[MadisonBrewerBlue]

jj made a long out

[owbc]

Hardy is human after all.

[SZBrewerFan]

RayKings,

Powell and Uke discussed this last week and after digging into the rule book it was decided that Manny does not qualify as a rookie based on service time and time spent on the DL last year.

[crossface21]

Yeah, everywhere I looked listed him as a second year player.

[MadisonBrewerBlue]

how do i get tickets to that pool area

[Schlitz001]

I'm sorry Darron and Gracie, but even if there was legal in-game replay, Cameron's hit would still have been ruled a homerun since the video is still very inconclusive. Also, saying that the Diamondback's bullpen thought the ball was foul is not a fair argument to call the ball foul.

[ELCABALLO45]

I feel bad for you if you agree with Darron Sutton, obviously the D Backs players are going to say it went foul.

 

There's the gold glover!

[MillerParkSouth]

at what point do the Brewers start worrying about Manny's innings? Right now he's our 2nd best pitcher, but at some point I would imagine we're going to have to shut him down. I really hope that we don't just ride him into the ground this year going for a playoff spot. Maybe that's something the front office has in mind when they're talking about acquiring a pitcher or 2 for depth.

[phxMILWfan]

I watched the play, several times, in slow motion, forwards and backwards, it was foul... I'm still glad they called it a home run...

[fondybrewfan]

If the Crew stays in the hunt their is absolutely no way they would ever shut down Parra. They are going to be taking a huge gamble but they will never do that. I can't imagine the nightmare to be caused if they shut down their 2nd best pitcher in the middle of a pennant race
