7/12/08 Reds (Volquez) at Brewers (McClung): 6:05 CDT

[crewcrazy]

How does a guy with 15 errors already this year manage to save the lead for the Reds? Incredibly frustrating stuff, but at least it looked like they were starting to put something together that inning against Volquez.

 

Edit: I have a hard time faulting Prince's patience there -- he already showed a good eye in laying off two nasty pitches and thought he had something he could hit. The bat broke and killed the momentum of the ball. Kendall's "patience" has pretty much sucked lately, too, so I don't know how he would've had a better chance at getting a run in there.

well, he proved me wrong. lets get some runs now boys!!!

[pebadger]

I know how Reds fans are feeling right now, as it's something we Brewer fans have gotten used to. Jump out to a lead, add on nothing against a bottom of the rotation guy, and hope your top of the rotation guy doesn't lose out on what should probably be a win.

 

I know Manny Parra, for one, has no sympathy.

Russell is soooooo overdue....I'm feeling it here.

Seriously, Alfonso Marquez?

 

Umpiring keeps getting worse.

[in the navy]

well that sucked. Hopefully that was the end of Volquez though. ..

[PeaveyFury]

I love these stretches where every freaking close call goes against us sooooo much....

[in the navy]

whos warming up in our pen if anyone? Im watching it on it on gamecast...

 

well i guess my question was answered.

[giffted1]

Intentionally walk Bako to get a PH for Volquez?

[bucks2281]

Ugh...Kendall hasn't picked up a hit in his last 5 games.

[crewcrazy]

Volquez over 100 pitches now...let's see how long Dusty lets him pitch. 125? 130?

[bucks2281]

I know he's in our division, but Volquez looks like a special pitcher. I hope Dusty doesn't kill his arm.

[crewcrazy]

I can definitely see why they call Volquez "Little Pedro" -- dude's stuff is absolutely wicked. Hopefully the Brewers can get something going against Stormy Weathers with the heart of the order coming up next inning. Riske just has to put up a 0.

Well, the McClung Experiment was fun while it lasted...looks like we know who'll be losing their rotation spot.

Good call on that.

 

[RU Rah Rah]

So that Hamilton-Volquez trade might have involved two talented players. Jeez. They are both tearing up.

[bucks2281]

Well, this game got that much tougher to win. Good thing CC's going tomorrow.

[crewcrazy]

Well, the McClung Experiment was fun while it lasted...looks like we know who'll be losing their rotation spot.

Good call on that.

 

I'll admit I was wrong there -- Seth did a great job settling down after that rough first inning. It's too bad that one bad pitch to Dunn really cost him, but I still think Suppan will eventually replace McClung once he gets back.

 

[Brewcrewin07]

Well, this game got that much tougher to win. Good thing CC's going tomorrow.

So did the division as well.

or we could say that our comeback is going to look that much nicer http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

Yes!

[bbaehman]

Be patient Corey

[pebadger]

Coco again gets to face the tough part of the order.

[Schlitz001]

It really does seem like we have the bottom of the order coming to bat in the ninth if we are trailing.

[TauPentaRei]

This, too, will be the end of the Branyan honeymoon.

 

Methinks 6 GMs for teams across 6 divisions should have some type of timeshare cooperative with ol Russ, whereby each team gets his "new to the uniform" OPS 1.000+ treatment for 27 games each.

[bbaehman]

this team is already on the all star break
