2009-04-07 Brewers (Suppan) at Giants (Lincecum): 3:05 PM CDT [Brewers lose, 10-6]

[Marc Newfield of Dreams]

Picking up right where he left off last season.

 

Thanks Soup! If it wasn't tough enough to beat Lincecum, let's spot em 3 early.

[Ennder]

Suppan is pitching fine if you are watching the game. Two groundballs that probably should have been outs but just happened to be in the wrong places, a joke of a HBP that only hit the guy because his shirt is even baggier than Princes and then one really hard hit ball to CF.

[Gobias Industries]

I'm as big as of a Soup basher as the next guy, but he really only gave up one solid knock. Lot's of bad luck with billy out of position and hardy covering the bag.

[saxyman1004]

And Gallardo is sitting on the bench.

[PaulRigdon]

Uecker is always so optimistic!

[Schlitz001]

i wish braun would just catch the ball and throw it in.

That always bothers me too. He seems to hold on to it longer than any other outfielder.

 

8 innings left.

[pebadger]

Don't like the fact that there is not a base runner graphic in the FSN info box.

 

Soup really only made 1 bad pitch in that inning. A fairly unlucky 3 runs.

[eanelson4]

That ball was right down the pipe. Soup is lucky he didn't take that yard. What a terrible pitch.

[Gobias Industries]

Lincecum is jacked so far. Hopefully we can chase him before 6.

 

Edit: And on cue, throws a sick change to Billy.

[BrewCrewForever]

I do realize that the hits that inning were cheap except the triple. But it just seems very Suppan to give up a meatball with the bases loaded.

[GormanHarvey]

We need to do something here in these first 2 to 3 innings if Lincecum is going to walk people...or at least get his pitch count way up

[bucks2281]

But it just seems very Suppan to give up a meatball with the bases loaded.

 

Just like the pitch versus Pat the Bat. Full count, 2 outs, 2 on. Ugh.

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

I don't understand...is Soup not gritty enough or is he just not battling?

[Ennder]

Suppan with the RBI double!

 

Lincecum up to 45 pitches already, that is good news.

[afeter]

first hit of the year Jeff suppan. those are likely odds

[GormanHarvey]

That was a helluva AB by the Soup Can!!

[Marc Newfield of Dreams]

"Soup hit great." -Yost

 

That's one back, nice job Soup.

[saxyman1004]

RBI double by....

 

JEFF SUPPAN?

[fondybrewfan]

Well Timmy won't be out there for longer than 5 so hopefully Soup can keep the Giants at 3. Tim is going to have 50 pitches through 2 innings

[giffted1]

Way to help yourself Soup. Lincecum not looking too great today.

[trwi7]

JEFF AND RICKIE!!!!!

 

Suppan is a better hitter than Carlos Zambrano, that much is clear. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

[GormanHarvey]

How good did Rickie look on that AB?! Nice and quiet in the box (for him anyhow) and taking a hard fastball on the outter half and just spanking it the other way. LOVE IT!

[sargennm]

OK, I'm sold on Weeks v. 4.0. I'm getting my No. 23 jersey when I get home to Milwaukee this weekend. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

[jazzytrav]

Let the Lincecum light up begin!

 

This is Rickie's year baby

[Schlitz001]

It's nice to see the Brewers come up with some key 2 out basehits.
