2009-04-14 Reds (Arroyo) at Brewers (Parra) 7:05 PM CDT [Brewers lose 6-1]

[jeffy]

Not that it's good, but the home runs are less frustrating than seeing 3 runs get walked in.

[3Putt]

Schroeder picked a heck of a time to talk about how well Kendall manages our pitching staff.

[phxMILWfan]

Looked like Manny swung at ball 4 there.

Typically I would agree with you, but not when the HR is a 2 run HR due to a leadoff walk ahead of it

[Bruce Ciskie]

How about making the pitchers each put $100 in a jar every time they unintentionally walk a guy?

[Oldcity]

Parra once again poised for a short outing. He just nibbles too much and that pitch count escalates quickly. Frustrating.

[GormanHarvey]

Man, I love this business of Hart lookin at balls and hammerin strikes! I can't believe Phillips got to that ball! That's the hardest Braun has hit the ball in a few games

[Oldcity]

Wow Hart was so out.

[GormanHarvey]

Wow is that frustrating - Arroyo drops down on a LH and serves up a fat pitch and Prince tries to hit it to Illinois and pops it up. How many times can they possibly leave the sacks full??

[cheesecup22]

its a shame prince didnt come through there...

 

how many times have we left the bases loaded in the last few games?

[GormanHarvey]

Wow Hart was so out.

He dropped the ball - he was safe

[moofnelson]

3 more LOB. Prince will hit a meaningless HR in the bottom of the ninth with the bases empty and the Brewers down 7-1.

[GormanHarvey]

Nice quick inning for Manny - needed that!!

[Oldcity]

See I typed that before I saw the second replay, but I still kind of thought Janish had the ball long enough to get the out. Guess it didn't really matter.

[jeffy]

Is it just me or do the 1s on the FSN between inning scoreboard look like 7s tonight. I do wish it was 7-3, though.

[GormanHarvey]

This is getting really sickening! We have let so many top of the rotation starters off the hook so many times already this year

[polwonks]

Someone please take Hall (watch the hittable groover down the middle and then go fishing ) but wait, there's another Kendall grounder to third

[davemakovec]

How have we walked Willy Taveras three times already in this series?

 

Throw him three straight pitches right down the middle if you have to. He's terrible at baseball. Make him swing the bat. He has Counsell-esque power. Seriously.

[GormanHarvey]

Can anything go right for this team right now?

 

Anyone with gameday up have the pitch counts for Manny and Arroyo?

[davemakovec]

Parra's at 97 with that strikeout, and Arroyo's at 82 after the fifth.

[GormanHarvey]

Thanks. Nice dog btw

[GormanHarvey]

I don't care what anyone says - Hall has been magnificent at 3rd so far this year. You can definitely tell the dropped weight is helping him in the field. Sweet turn by Counsell too

[GormanHarvey]

It is excruciating to watch Braun right now. If he is hurt, I wish he would just say so

[polwonks]

Craig and Davey to the Nationals for Bo

[mls4]

Wow they are starting to expand the role for DiFelice- two nights in a row. That's what happens when you are one of few reliable relievers...
