I'm gonna be pissed if he K's again.

[trwi7]

You suck Bill.

[PrinceEatMeat]

You've gotta be kidding me.

[TheCrew07]

That was less than stellar.

[trwi7]

I'm gonna be pissed if he K's again.

 

I would've preferred the K over the actual result.

I'm gonna be pissed if he K's again.

If only...

[GormanHarvey]

3 hits in the inning and we do not score. I sure thought Fischer should have sent Braun. Its Carlos for cripes sakes. Sure would have been nice to have Gamel up in that situation...

[MadisonBrewerBlue]

is there any reason he should bat again in this game ?

[FidoMcCokefiend]

is there any reason he should bat again in this game ? against a RHP ever again?

Fixed that for you.

[Schlitz001]

If you're talking about Bill Hall, I don't think there is any reason he should bat again against any right hander ever. Sorry Bill.

[GormanHarvey]

Well we all knew that we weren't going to stay as hot as we have been, but if we are going to lose I would at least like to do it with our best line-up right now. Doesn't take much to see Hall has absolutely nothing going on at the plate right now. I understand that Macha wants to stay true to what he told Billy, but what happened to the "players write the line-up"? Shouldn't Gamel in in there then? Or even McGehee??

[bobskube]

I don't want to stick out my chest and say "I told you so", but I was right about this guy three years ago. I had so many arguments with BFnet people that chose not t see how bad Hall was. This guy never ever should bat against a RHP. At least Macha gave him every chance to succeed and now he can be done with this jerk against righties.

 

God, this Weeks injury stinks.

[pretendastronaut]

I sure thought Fischer should have sent Braun. Its Carlos for cripes sakes.

 

He does seem very cautious there, sometimes frustratingly so.

[dlk9s]

Braun would have been out by a mile. Lee had the ball before Braun was even at third base, and he had it in relatively shallow left field.

[pebadger]

Don't deserve to win this one.

[JCREW]

UGH... One step forward, two steps back.

[Schlitz001]

To be fair, 3 years ago Bill Hall was coming off a season where he hit 23 HR against righties with a .846 OPS. It was pretty hard for a lot of people to argue against those numbers. He still has value, but it's clear he doesn't have it like he used to with the bat.

[SeriesFinale]

Gahhh, Hall and Soup less than clutch at the plate the last two innings

 

Brutal

[pebadger]

I do think the Hall bashing is getting to be a bit over the top.

[uwisfan]

maybe it was the angle but it looked to me that the tag was applied after Kendall's foot reached

[MadisonBrewerBlue]

brad fisher needs to let people run free

[GormanHarvey]

Braun would have been out by a mile. Lee had the ball before Braun was even at third base, and he had it in relatively shallow left field.

I assume you remember Lee's arm from his time with the Brewers. It's only gotten worse. Braun rounding 3rd with a full head of steam. A sac fly that deep would have given a guy with Braun's speed a decent chance of scoring

[PrinceEatMeat]

Why is the Hall bashing over the top? He's hitting .185 against righties, and continues to play and fail against them anyway. Last night and tonight he was in key situations too where a lefty would have had a better chance at success.

[whizkid]

Whatever Bill's shortcomings, he's not a jerk.

[PrinceEatMeat]

I don't care if he was the nicest person on the planet. He still shouldn't hit against righties. Although he did demand a trade last year because he was mad he wasn't playing everyday when he didn't deserve to.
