I miss Braun

[brewcrew00]

Man did they miss his bat over the past week...

[Shootkick1000]

I told you he's the man, I done told you that.

[Brew Guzzler]

The Hebrew Glove followed by the Hebrew Hammer!

[bucksman4]

Braun pinch hitting to lead off the inning doesn't make a whole lot of sense, but whatever. I'd guess if he gets on they may pinch run for him with a pitcher just in case.

What was that, thablingster? Care to refine your opinion? Good call, Ned Yost. Braun says it's just like riding a bike...

[brewcrew00]

Wow, 1,000 posts. Sweet it came on Braun's return AB/hit.

[Yeti73]

Good mojo going...Would be terrible to lose it by failing to get the runner in from third.

[EinhornIsFinkle]

I would seriously consider the suicide here.

[ELCABALLO45]

JJ!!!!

[thablingster]

Ah, how we love the home run ball.

[Shootkick1000]

JJ gets the devil horns cause he ROCKS.

 

Man, we needed that.

[yount19.u]

Ok, so I am happily married and straight, but now I want to marry JJ.

HARDY BOMB, BREWERS LEAD!

 

The mere presence of Ryan Braun has willed this team to score more runs. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

Why in the world would you bring in a lefthander to face Braun, Durham, and Hardy?

 

Especially when Lowe was dealing....

[EinhornIsFinkle]

That will work though.

I'd have preferred to save him for a higher leverage situation, that's all. But that's why I'm not a MLB manager, huh?

Apparently the Dodgers don't have scouts. I'll take it though. Thanks Joe!

I really wouldnt say dealing... 8 hits in 7 innings.

 

But I will take it!

Never question Joe Torre, he has all those World Series championships to prove he's a great manager.

 

[yount19.u]

After that incredible catch, I expected Kapler to chest a fastball past first base for a hit. I guess we can't always get what we want.

[markedman5]

Who pitches the 8th?

 

I get the feeling its going to be Gagne........

[sheethead]

Let's go bullpen! Who's our "8th inning guy" tonight?

[brewcrewman17]

I'll preface this post by informing everyone that I am a large Dave Bush supporter. But don't look now, with tonight's outing Dave Bush may have moved into the top 3 in the NL in WHIP (was 4th before the start of the game only .01 behind 3rd). Sure he sometimes looks like he doesn't know what he's doing, but the fact that he's only allowing a little over 1.10 baserunners an inning tells me that this momentous drop in ERA isn't a fluke, it was inevitable.

[sauveb]

Can we just skip the bottom of the 8th? PLEASE.

[Ennder]

I dont' care how this turns out, I hate Yost for putting in Gagne here.
