2009-04-12 Cubs (Dempster) at Brewers (Suppan): 7:05 PM CDT [Brewers Lose 8-5]

[Gobias Industries]

What was really unbelievable about Soriano's AB was that all 7 pitches were balls.

[danzig6767]

Hey Macha, this isn't normal for Suppan, he survives by not giving up a ton of BBs. You should take him out before the game is over. That is why you have 2 long relief guys.

I agree, one gapper and this game is over

 

Man it's painful watching him pitch

[adamb100]

WOW. Walking in 3 runners this inning? For gods sake get him out.

[paul253]

maybe he'll find a Cub he doesn't mind pitching to.

[uwisfan]

that last pitch looked like strike 3.. but with him so wild, they gave Fuku the benefit..

[GormanHarvey]

Love to see if Doug Melvin is going to go out of his way to stand behind Puppan in the js tomorrow morning

[jwill535]

Some people complain about booing a player, but walking 3 in and basically being totally ineffective is more then deserving of being booed.

[lcbj68c]

I gave him the pass until his horrible outing in the playoffs. Now I've just had enough. Let some AAA arm get some experience. If this continues, I fully expect his ERA to be above 6.00 this season.

[danzig6767]

Suppan has been brutal, but this ump has a wallet sized strike zone. That 3-2 pitch was a strike.

[cnycerveceros]

Why is Suppan on this team? It's a serious question. I've heard lots of reasons, I wonder what people in here right now think? He's a veteran? He's an innings eater? What is it?

[logan82]

I think I would have rather had Soriano hit a grand slam than have to watch 2 straight walks to score runs.

[brewerjamie15]

Good gosh. What a horrid outing. I'm Macha right now, it's hard for me to keep the frustration from showing. What a disaster.

[FidoMcCokefiend]

Odds on Derrick Lee hitting a GS off of Julio? 5-1?

[pebadger]

Another national TV stinkbomb so far by the Crew.

[moofnelson]

Good game, Soup. Oh, by the way, we just accidently put you on the 556-day disabled list.

[Ennder]

Odds on Derrick Lee hitting a GS off of Julio? 5-1?

Lee will find a way to GIDP even with 2 outs.

[Gobias Industries]

Gotta love Joe Morgan questioning why Fukudome took that 3-1 pitch. Is it really that hard to figure out why?

[adamb100]

Want to buy a pitcher that can throw strikes.

[FidoMcCokefiend]

It's getting comedic now at this point.

[moofnelson]

4 runs on 1 single so far this inning. Sweet.

[adamb100]

That inning took far too long than I was comfortable with.

[brewerjamie15]

I'm not sure what's worse: watching this catastrophe, or hearing the cub fans cheering. Disgusting to watch lemmie tell you.

One good thing for Suppan though- lasting not even 4 innings should make it easy on the ol' arm stifness tomorrow.

[GormanHarvey]

well this should definitely help us to "fly below the radar" of the national media the rest of the year. Just the way we like ithttp://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/embarassed.gif

[stoops17]

For me that is the worst way to watch runs touch the plate.

[RU Rah Rah]

Quite an impressive performance thus far from the home team.
