Rally time. Nice BB Cam.

[jhgill]

that first "strike" for counsell? I can't figure out this strike zone. It doesn't only suck, it's not consistent.

[giffted1]

Billy, try and poke one to right please.

[bbaehman]

Bill Hall-

 

One Time Please.

Mike Cameron walks on five balls without swinging the bat. Men on base, let's go, Billy!

[Ranier]

We have to make this count/

[ReverendBrewmeister]

Need an extra-base hit from Hall. Now's your chance, Billy!

[GormanHarvey]

Right field Hall!!

I don't want to be a downer, but objectively, wouldn't you pick the Phillies? The Brewers are deservedly the underdog, for a lot of reasons. I still think the Brewers are a good team, and I know they get disrespected a lot, but the Phillies won their division, finished the year hot, swept the Crew just a few weeks ago, and were here last year.

The Phillies are the better team in every category except for best #1 pitcher. I don't blame anyone for picking the Phillies. Doesn't mean the Brewers can't pull an upset.

[cnycerveceros]

Come on Hall. Big hit. Pink Bat?

[GormanHarvey]

Good lord

[bjkrautk]

Can someone please tell the Brewers how to hit a change-up?

[wibadgers23]

Bill Hall shouldn't even be starting against lefties anymore. Ugh.

[Ranier]

Man, Hall is a joke....at least he didn't hit into a double play.

[Schlitz001]

Bill Hall strikes out with runners on base. Where have I seen that before?

[paul253]

Its like watching a bunch of minor leaguers trying to hit a major league pitcher. Pathetic. This team needs a complete makeover, offensively. This all or nothing offense has been nothing for 4 weeks now

[giffted1]

Adjustment is not a part of the Brewers vocabulary.

[Irish Brewer]

Was Hall kidding there?

[cnycerveceros]

I feel empty inside.

[ReverendBrewmeister]

Terrible hitting approach there. Pitiful.

[Ranier]

The moment I start to hope, it is crushed.

[jhgill]

Smoltz best quote of the day...."If you stop scoring any runs, it's hard to win." Can I have your job?

[pretendastronaut]

I turned on Gamecast just in time to see Hall with a swinging strike that was about a mile south of the strike zone. Has anyone told these guys that the whole league knows most of the team will chase that pitch and to, I don't know, maybe realize its coming with two strikes?

[naivin]

Can we please just go with Counsell and Durham the rest of this series? I don't care which side they hit from, Hall and Weeks are bringing absolutely nothing to the party. Oh yeah, those three runs - all due to the fact that they can't catch.

[phxMILWfan]

well his pitch count is up a little bit now... trying to be positive.
