[pitchleague]

Holliday homers. Braun, it's your turn.

 

Man, our All-Star hitters have sucked big-time in All-Star History:

 

8-for-56

4 runs

4 rbi

1 double

8 walks

1 catcher's interference

Hey, way to swing the bat Soto.

[SeriesFinale]

Leaving Braunie in LF after his two ABs? This can only lead to embarrassment.

[SeriesFinale]

Man, our All-Star hitters have sucked big-time in All-Star History:

 

...

You forgot to add in the go-ahead jack Corey's gonna hit later tonight

 

[pitchleague]

well, I didn't want to ruin it for everyone. You know, spoilers . . . .

[ELCABALLO45]

Corey!

[bucks2281]

Soto is having a tough time throwing out runners tonight. He hasn't been close.

 

My bad, that was on Russ Martin

[SeriesFinale]

Hopefully we'll see both Brewers hit this inning

[bucks2281]

Braun's had a night to forget:

 

0-3, 2K

[danzig6767]

Braun's had a night to forget:

 

0-3, 2K

 

If i remember correctly, Braun swung at every single pitch thrown to him. No surprise there.

You remember incorrectly.

 

 

And by the way, it's no shame to come up empty as a hitter in an All-Star game. The pitchers typically do quite well.

 

[pitchleague]

who goes to an all-star game to walk, anyway?

 

Corey, nice job cutting that one off (rolls eyes)

[bucks2281]

Way to go, rookie

 

Is the NL allergic to winning this game?

[pitchleague]

boy, Volquez looked like he was going to cry there. Or pitch a fit.

[TheCrew07]

Salome is going to be an All Star catcher one day... that's 2 air mailed throws in this game, and he had an issue with that when he first started playing professionally... He'll fit right in! We need his bat for the stretch run!

[Menotti80]

just got back from the bar. from my point of view, sheets' struggles were large part due to soto. what a horribly called game. sheets seems to be a pitcher that relies on rhythm and it's hard when he had to shake off soto 1 or 2 times on just about every pitch...

 

maybe struggles is a bad word. he just didn't seem comfortable. great job by benny though...

[SeriesFinale]

I was worried about Wilson...

 

Hope he proves me wrong

[olsonnet]

Tied going into the 9th, Hart batting 2nd in the inning. C'mon Corey, be a hero.

[Vgmastr]

Man, the NL just can't find a way to win, can they?

 

This just means Corey's HR off of Rivera will be the game winner.

[pitchleague]

if this goes to extras. . . . I'll bet anybody $100 that MLB does not allow the All-Star Game at Yankee Stadium end in a tie game.

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

Can anyone remember a really good Brewer All-Star moment? I seem to remember Lary Sorensen retiring 9 in a row and maybe Sheeter tonight, but I can't remember anything from a hitter.

[pitchleague]

Burnitz has the only extra-base hit. Wasn't that a blow-out loss in Boston that year?

[TheCrew07]

I know this is wrong but I have a real hard time rooting for Cub players to do well... they are my Vikings of the NFL, Texas of College Football, Duke of College Basketball.

[SeriesFinale]

Way to break up the DP, Tejada

 

Pete Rose weeps

 

 

(Probably because he bet $4K on the NL)

[hurricanecrush]

This team is so unclutch!

 

Somehow, it has to be Ned's fault. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif
