5/9/06 Brewers (Davis) @ Padres (Hensley) 9:05 CST

I'd take my chances with JJ hitting with the bases loaded and one out than having Miller run on a chopper to the infield.

 

Once it became obvious that it was over the pitchers head, I can't imagine any position where a fielder could have fielded it and gone home.

Sharpie's doing OK. So that second inning was a little close, and he had to get four outs in the first...

 

I'm a bit more worried about whether Sharpie will press now that Sheets is on the DL again.

Sign Carlos NOW!!!

[UeckerAddict]

Number 15. Look out Albie, Caballo is on your tail.

[wisconsinfan47]

Solo Jack for Big El Caballo!

 

Did that get to the warehouse out there?

[clancyphile]

CARLOS!!!!

[JoeH33]

EL CABALLO!!

[steve267268]

El Ca BYYYYEEE BYEEEEE

 

Padres announcers gave me a heart attack making me think Roberts would rob that one..

 

Thanks Carlos.. checks in the mail.

[Riebes24]

The only reason I was surprised is because Rickie strikes out a lot.

 

That's the only reason I would need not to walk him - that and he has zero power so far.

[bsglorydays]

Well, you never like to see guys get hurt. But, Roberts is going to give the Brewers pitchers and catchers fits if he's in the game, so I wouldn't mind seeing him leave.

[iluvlamp]

MIller is awesome with RISP...JJ is not...I would take my chances so far this year with Miller....yeah LEE..nice stroke

[jloos19]

Man is it hard to hit it out of Petco, Carlos smoked that ball. Who else has a huge crush on Caballo?

[undertow67]

El Caballo knocks the ball and Roberts out with one swing.

[UeckerAddict]

I hope DR is okay. I've always been a fan of the way he plays the game.

[AJAY]

It kind of look like he hit off the end of the bat a little. That was quite a poke.

[PNut33]

Carlos doesnt really look worth the money does he?

[iluvlamp]

That was a very nice home run. That was tops.

[bsglorydays]

Did that get to the warehouse out there?

 

It barely got into the guy's hand in the front row. But who cares? Its gone!

[JoeH33]

Who's injured?

 

Gameday says there's an injury delay.

[bucksman4]

El Caballo pulled out the ol' 3-iron on that one and golfed it right out. You gotta have a lot of muscle to hit one out here on a pitch like that. Who thought Petco could hold Carlos? I did. I'm glad I was wrong.

 

Roberts took one in the grill on that one too pretty hard. Who said baseball wasn't a contact sport?

[valpocrewsader]

I'm in love with Carlos Lee.

 

BTW, seems to be an inordinate amount of solo shots for him this year. Is that the fault of the 1-2-3 hitters? Is Carlos only getting the homers when the pressure's off and the bases are empty? Is it just coincidence? Or is it a mis-perception by me?

 

I guess I'd be curious to compare Carlos' number of solo homers to others who've hit 12 or more home runs this year. Not sure where to pull up that info.

[COOOOP]

El Caballo es loco!

 

Roberts face planted himself into the outfield wall scoreboard, but he rubbed some dirt on it, and is shaking it off.

[badgerfan.tgf]

Roberts ran hard into the fence and got a little shaken up. He's staying in the game though....why do I get the feeling he'll come back to bite us in the butt with a game winning single in the ninth now. Not trying to be a pessemist but that's just the way things go for us on the west coast.

[bsglorydays]

Rillo!

[badgerfan.tgf]

Now that one was hit to the warehouse!!!
