Heads up base running by Rickie!

[afeter]

ump error in our favor. Weeks cross go.

[sargennm]

Yes, nice. Reminds me of when the Brewers were the young upstarts that might surprise people. Time to take the first lead of the season.

[giffted1]

Corey finally shows a little patience at the plate and good things happen.

[GormanHarvey]

We are about to bust this baby open! I can feel it!

[RightFieldCoder]

Tiny Tim out of the game, and we tie it up in just the 4th. Things are suddenly looking brighter.

 

Way to go Rickie. I hope you keep this up all year.

[lukevan]

Macha seems like he's going to be super-aggressive on the basepaths this year and from what I'm seeing so far, he's going to be super-smart too. 3 stolen bases and a few extra bases taken. Seems like we're running every time we have someone on and the count goes deep.

[GormanHarvey]

How about a good AB and some contact here Prince?!

 

EDIT: Thank you P!

[afeter]

brewers brewers keep turning up the heat

[BrewCrewForever]

I dig he long ball, but 5 runs without a HR. Nice to see some runs get manufactured.

[LaprilOne]

We are battling! (shout out to Ned), (but the change was necessary)

[GormanHarvey]

Ken Macha has some very large ear lobes. Must be where he stores all of his extra baseball knowledge

[saxyman1004]

I like what I'm seeing here. Extending innings, showing a little patience at the plate, playing some small ball. Keep this up, Brewers!

Hilarious. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/laugh.gif

I don't neccessarily think Macha is going to be more aggressive than the Brewers previous manager, I just think he'll have the guys better prepared. It seems like he had them equipped with a solid gameplan out there today. I get the sense that Macha leaves no stone unturned finding small advantages. Today it may be running on a pitcher with a slow delivery. Tommorrow it might be attacking first pitches from a guy who throws a ton of 1st pitch strikes. Either way I expect a more cerebral approach, rather than a fly by the seat of your pants approach. A freshing change to say the least.

Learning how to hit from both sides of the plate always gave Dale Sveum a burning sensation...

[Mr QL]

Just tell Soup to stay in San Fran when we come back to Milwaukee.

Sabean would be all over that.

[lukevan]

So... when does DiFelice take over for Suppan?

[brewcrewkid14]

Well, Soup only has 57 pitches so I would assume they're going to try to stretch him out. He's due up fourth next inning.

 

Although that four-pitch walk cannot help matters.

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

Anybody warming up?

I'm watching the game alone and I was laughing loudly when he said that

[Schlitz001]

By the way...the MLB At-Bat Gameday Audio app on the iPhone works like a champ. Uke & Cory coming through loud and clear.

[uwisfan]
