2008-04-19 Brewers (Suppan) at Mets (Figueroa): 12:10 PM CDT... Hart and Hardy dye their hair jet black [Brewers win, 4-2]

[Invader3K]

So Suppan just had to better Figueroa's pitch count. Go figure.

[moofnelson]

I simpy can't envision how Suppan could ever make it past the middle of the Met's order without giving up at least one run.

[GormanHarvey]

Brian has just been awful announcing this year. Every fly ball is "deep" even if it ends up about 250 feet from home plate.

I was just going to post the same thing. I think he has done it at least once in every game. That ball actually went to the track and BA didnt say a word

[Brewer Fever]

I have this nagging wonder. Will the Brewers ever really put it all together? This current group. You know start scoring runs when loading the bases with less than two outs? Will someone hit .300? Will we see one of these guys carry a .400 OBP? Will one of our young pitchers win 18+ games?

 

I realize that not every prospect lives up to the billing. But will at least one or two truely break out and become a perennial star that carries the team on his back and makes everyone else better?

 

It would be nice if it happened soon.

[topper09er]

2nd time through the order now, lets hope they hit 'em where we are

[jeffy]

And in addition to constantly misjudging flyballs, Mr. Anderson thinks it was a big gamble to not bunt with one out and a runner on second.

[RU Rah Rah]

Hey, they finally broke the Figgy v. Brewers scoreless streak! Woohoo!!!

[Marc Newfield of Dreams]

Is it just me, or has Prince had a ton of trouble with inside pitches? If seen a ton of called strikes on the inside corner that he backs off on.

 

You'd think he'd take a step back considering all his power is to RF.

[Brewer Fever]

With that fielder's choice groundout to bring in Hart the Brewers chances to win today went from 39% to 42% according to ESPN MLB Gamecast. Hooray!

[topper09er]

That was so nice, small ball to perfection. Hit, SB, SF to advance runner, ground out to get him in.

[Marc Newfield of Dreams]

Beautiful DP. Nicely done Prince!

[RU Rah Rah]

Whoa, flashing some leather on the DP.

[RU Rah Rah]

I am really getting tired of watching Kendall hit grounders and pop-ups.

[sargennm]

I am at the part of the season where I must plead: Please don't screw this up!

[Brewer Fever]

Here we go again. Another chance to score runs where good teams do.

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

Prince looks like a different guy out there with the leather.

[rluzinski]

A lead! Let's break Figueroa's back, please

[Brewer Fever]

Good teams get this run in from third as well...

[pebadger]

I can't imagine that any team in the majors has had worse production from the 3-4-5 holes. And this team has three guys in those spots who have appeared in the All-Star game.

[rluzinski]

Good teams get this run in from third as well...

 

About 70% of the time, sure.

[Brewer Fever]

After that half inning, ESPN MLB Gamecast has the Brewers chances of winning today at 56%. Baby steps!

[markedman5]

It really is amazing how many guys we are leaving on 3rd base with less then 2 outs.

 

Prince really seems like he is trying to hit a home run on every swing.

[pebadger]

Overcoming that kind of thing with Reyes has been hard for the Brewers so far this season. Maybe the fact they got out of it is a good sign. Or maybe it's just setting us up for an even more intolerable kick in the goodies.

[Gobias Industries]

If there's any sun, Corey Hart will find it. My god, how many times has he done that in the last year?

 

Soup has pitched a hell of a game. Let's get him a win.

[thablingster]

Way to bail out your fielder, Soup.

 

Hart tends to have problems with some high fly balls during sunny day games it seems. He had a couple of those last season too if I remember correctly.
