*Sigh*

 

Hall over Branyan against a RHP again? Why? His hot streak is over. Branyan is still MUCH better against righties. It's nice that Billy got lucky with a couple timely homeruns, but that doesn't change what these two are.

 

Also, Mike Rivera needs to play more. I know that if we listened to Brian and Bill, that we should just assume Kendall is such a gamer that he could probably do a Forrest Gump style cross-country run every day between games, and still catch that evening - but come on. He's old. Rivera has done fine when he has played. Even Ted Simmons was acknowledging on the air that Kendall needs to start getting some time off.

 

I know a bunch of people are gonna point to the 8-game winning streak and tell me to just shut up, but I still have HUGE concerns about Ned's decisions and the way he runs this ballclub.

What channel for Dish Network. Please help quick!

[gbpacker40]

Wow, what a terrible lineup. I imagine Bush will leave with a one run lead in the 7th, then Ned will promptly bring in a Gagne, Mota combo for us.

[LordBeerMeStrength]

Is this game on FSN? It's not showing up on DirecTV..

It's a WMLW game, check channel 680.

Thanks.http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

I would have liked to seen Branyan today. I can understand Durham and Craig does makes sense with Hardy needing days off from time to time for his feet/fragility.

[Hate those Rodents]

Found it --- Dish Network has it on 449 (NO HD though)

[brewcrew00]

I have no problem with the left handed bats in the lineup today. I just wish Branyan was in there instead of Hall.

[ninja33]

fsn in madison is picking up the wmlw coverage thank god...

 

not sure how you dont start jj hardy today, hes only 14 for his last 28. prove me wrong counsell.

[COOOOP]

You better do well today Mr. Bush, else I will go out and shoot my lawnmower (again).

Arent you supposed to do something out of the norm?

[bucks2281]

Yeah, Ray!!

[MadisonBrewerBlue]

sure glad we started durham

[sauveb]

Is anyone else having trouble with no sound tonight. This is the second time in 3 games for me. I don't miss Brian and Bill all that much but I do like to hear Trenni

Good excuse to listen to Bob.

 

[DougJones43]

1 for his last 17! Keep on playing him against righties...

 

On a positive note, at least Cecil Cooper isn't our manager.

[Yeti73]

Bush doesn't look too rusty thus far. Let's get him some more runs. I'm waiting for the barrage of runs. Not sure it'll happen with this lineup, but we should be able to get a few against Badke.

[joepepsi]

I can't believe Bill Hall is playing. Honestly, I don't whine about Ned like others, but he has to stop being loyal to his "regulars" and concern himself more with winning every game.

[DougJones43]

Sweet Baby Ray!

[DougJones43]

Cooper is insane. Braun is gonna kill one of these infielders soon. If not that, any kind of hard hit ball is gonna be a basehit...

[MadisonBrewerBlue]

cant complain about anything durham, cc, and braun have done tonight

[Yeti73]

Counsel is doing his job too. Braun is doing his job. Eventually one of these hard hit balls is going to get out of here. I kind of hope it is hit by Hall, but I'm not sure he'll make contact.

[ELCABALLO45]

I feel bad for Branyan. He should be starting.

[bucks2281]

Ugh Bush. He's throwing metatballs

[ELCABALLO45]

Hard to blame bush when he hasn't pitch in forever.

 

And again, Branyan plz.

[DougJones43]

1 for 18 !!!!
