2009-05-06 Brewers (Parra) at Reds (Arroyo): 6:05 PM CDT [Brewers win, 15-3]

Which begs the question, is there really a difference between Coco pitching in the 8th or the 9th, anyway? It doesn't actually matter.

There isn't, but you know the old school guys who read "The Book" would tie themselves into knots.

[JCREW]

Can anyone tell me whether Julio made a mistake or if Bruce just hammered a good pitch back in the 7th?

Congratulations to Carlos for his first big league hit. Too bad it had to be off Janish and not a real pitcher. Still Congratulations. How crappy does Brad Nelson feel right now? Too bad he couldn't get an at bat this inning.

[phxMILWfan]

Pretty soon Bronson will have the 2nd worst stat line for Reds pitchers tonight.

Last inning was a prime example of why you need to have a pitch that bends to have any MLB success. The SS was throwing 90 and hitting his spots OK and was crushed because every pitch was a fastball.

The Brewers have hit a two-run homer, a three-run homer and a grand slam. If they could have hit a solo shot, they would have hit for the home run cycle (I just made that term up).

actually, I've heard of that term before from somewhere...

We got a guy on our softball team that has done it by himself in a game... coincidentally, this game had a bit of a softball game feel from the beginning.

Wow! Chris Duffy says "You know" almost just as much as Prince Fielder

[Mr QL]

Easy wins are cool.

[RightFieldCoder]

Of all of the games for me to forget to DVR this season...

 

I hope they replay this tomorrow afternoon.

When he tells his Grandkids it won't matter. He'll just be tied for the all-time MLB lead in career Batting Average. Way to go Carlos!!! That's what makes these blowouts fun.

Nice that Carlos got to touch all the bases too. Who knows on him though longer term? I personally saw Rivera the same way I see Corporan right now. As a guy that was lucky to get a chance in the big leagues but a guy that would only get a cup of coffee in the majors. Now, it looks like Rivera could well have a ten year big league career.

[GormanHarvey]

What a fun game. Tons of hitting including a grand slam, great defense (Duffy one of the best catches I have ever seen), Manny gets his first hit and win, and Corporan making his first appearance and getting his first hit. Good stuff! Lets keep it rollin'!

Looks like the replay starts at noon.

Can you blowup that last inning? I want to see how it changed when Corporan got his hit...and Braun...and Fielder...man, that was fun.

[RightFieldCoder]

Just got home and saw that. DVR all set to go!

[TracyThom]

Ueck was trying to find out who the last Brewers position player was to pitch in a game. I had to head into work so I missed the answer. Who was it?

[bucks2281]

Bob said it was Trent Durrington in 2004, IIRC.

[RobDeer 45]

We're turning up the heat!

[MadisonBrewerBlue]

Carlos Corporan gets his first ML hit in his first ML AB against a shortstop. I smell trivia..... Has this ever happened before ? A player getting his first hit in his first AB against a position player ?
