2009-06-01 Brewers (Suppan) at Marlins (Miller): 6:10 PM CDT [Brewers lose, 7-4]

I can't believe Kendall couldn't score on Hart's single. I can believe that Hall strikes out.

[rluzinski]

Ugh, Hall swung at ball four, twice.

 

According to pitch F/X, 5 out of the 6 pitches probably could have been called either way. The last pitch was right at the top edge of the strike zone (which is more often called a ball than should be), so he probably would have walked there.

[trwi7]

Umm, Jeff, that's Emilio Bonafacio. He's a terrible hitter, throw him strikes and he'll likely get himself out. Whatever you do, don't walk him like you just did.

[Hate those Rodents]

Fortunately a bullpen battle will favor us today.

[UeckerAddict]

What was that? Fielder? That was just weird.

[brains and braun]

What in the heck just happened? I was working on some things and heard CP say "Fielder is running." Wow.

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

I thought the Marlins pen was actually ok. Usually I love to see those pitch counts get up there so we can get to a soft pen, but I think their pen is better than most of their starters except Johnson.

 

Prince tried to steal? Someone explain that one to me.

[PeaveyFury]

That might be the dumbest steal attempt I've seen by a Brewer in a couple of years.

[MillerParkSouth]

surely my eyes deceive me and my gamecast did not just tell me that Prince got thrown out trying to steal third with nobody out.

[brains and braun]

What an inning. Maybe I should turn the game back off. Jinx in effect.

Uecker further commenting on the "crowd":

 

"they just showed the kiss cam and people had to move to other rows in order to find someone to kiss." http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

 

Seriously, can the attendance be in four-figures?

[PeaveyFury]

Nothing like running yourself out of an inning with a struggling pitcher on the mound. Good freaking grief.

[UeckerAddict]

I'm starting to smell a point (run) shaving scandal.

[phxMILWfan]

Terrible baserunning this inning. Anyone thinking out there?

[Gormans sideburns]

What is wrong with this team running from second to third on a ball hit IN FRONT of them!!! That is baseball 1-0-1 that I learned in Little League. Come on guys... this is the third or forth time this year.

[rluzinski]

It almost looked like Cameron was running with Fielder. Was that a double steal?

 

That said, Cam's base running blunder probably had no effect anyway.

[phxMILWfan]

And the crowd roars with that strikeout!

How do you know that? McGehee wouldn't have stood a better chance with a runner on 2nd base there? There is no way to know that.

It's not very often that you see a bat fly into the stands near the dugout and people have to come running in from nearby rows to grab it, as was the case with the Ramirez bat. It kind of makes me sad inside.

 

Baserunning mistakes are the worst.

[BrewCrewForever]

I'm shocked with the attendance at these Marlins games that they still have a baseball team.

[JCREW]

Somebody call Miami and tell Billy that he's facing a lefty and it's really ok for him to get a hit.

[wibadgers23]

Bill Hall! Man I want to scream, swear, and throw things right now.

[Mr QL]

geez billy

 

cant even get it done vs a leftie

[BrewCrewForever]

At this point I wonder if Hall could hit off a tee?

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

So the Happy Youngster was holding out for tickets to this game? Wow...tough ticket to get.
