Too many fly balls for Soup. Makes me nervous.

[GormanHarvey]

This early in the season, I honestly dont care what Rickie's OBP is because if he keeps this approach to hitting, his numbers are going to be just fine come season' end

[GormanHarvey]

Too many fly balls for Soup. Makes me nervous.

Typically I would agree, but except for the leadoff HR they have all been off balance fly balls

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

Anyone know how this guy's velocity holds up over the course of the game?

[saxyman1004]

GH I will have to take your word for it. I'm at work and thus am relegated to gamecast.

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

Sweet...nice pick Soup!!!

Well they were all off balance until Cam tracked that ball down at the track that Connor Jackson hit. Still, I think he looks good. He's mixing and matching well eventhough he isn't getting as big of a zone as Scherzer is getting.

 

Mike Cameron turns playing CF into an art form

[razzzorsharp]

Still waiting and hoping for Max's command to go away...

[GormanHarvey]

I do not enjoy watching Prince getting mid-thigh high middle of the plate blown past him. Hope this guys tires himself out

[Schlitz001]

I can't remember the last time I've seen the Brewers swing and miss at so many pitches right down the middle. Max Scherzer is looking really good.

[saxyman1004]

Getting some big ABs against the guy. 7, 8 pitches...good to see. Work that count, Brewers!

 

ETA: as I type this Cam is at 10 pitches and counting

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

Gotta get this guy's pitch count up...get rid of him after 6. Keep it going Cam.

[GormanHarvey]

What an unbelievable AB by Cam!!

[saxyman1004]

GREAT AB CAM! This guy is just killing it so far.

Learn something new everyday. Brian Anderson lives about 15 minutes away from me. Wouldn't have known it at all if he hadn't mentioned Swallow Elementary going to Weather Day at the game yesterday.

[TuesdaysWithRillo]

Suppan's stuff is so bad it's disgusting me, but somehow he's still pitching a decent game. That would be a typical Suppan start for ya.

[GormanHarvey]

Bill Hall is just flat pickin it this year!

[trwi7]

These ground outs by Kendall are gritty.

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

Yeah...He's battlin' triw7

 

Anyway Soup could hit into a DP here so Rickie can lead off with no one out next inning?

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

Soup with his own version of a Gallardo-esque at-bat. Sweet.

[trwi7]

Suppan draws the Brewers first walk.

 

Maybe we should convert him to a position player.

 

Can Jeff Suppan catch? http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

[GormanHarvey]

Well, at least Scherzer is at 89 pitches thru 5

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

15 innings and one YoGa HR and counting.

 

Do we have to put our Offense on a milk carton?

[fondybrewfan]

Well 89 pitches through 5, we'll at least see the bullpen for 3 innings tonight, or maybe the Scherzer blowup that Bill & Brian have been talking about the entire game will actaually happen

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

Oh boy...the dreaded 6th inning 3rd time through the lineup...please, please, please...
