2009-07-12 Dodgers (Kershaw) at Milwaukee (Gallardo) : 1:05 PM CT [Brewers lose, 7-4]

[Vgmastr]

So you give the Dodgers a run in the top of the first, and refuse to take a run they're giving you in the bottom, nice work so far Cam.

[Yeti73]

Bill Hall is the best 3rd baseman in the game.

[crewcrazy]

And that would be why batting Jason Kendall leadoff probably isn't the best idea Macha's had this year.

 

At least Yo had a much easier 2nd inning than Kershaw. Keep them off the board again in the 3rd and they should have a decent shot of scoring in the bottom half with Hart-Braun-Fielder coming up.

[Yeti73]

Honestly, I'd almost rather see Kendall bunt with Yovani on deck than the other way around.

[pebadger]

I've determined that watching the Brewers live is only slightly more entertaining than re-watching Rockford Files episodes on Hulu, but only when I don't know pretty much how the Brewer game will turn out.

[crewcrazy]

Good thing Manny Ramirez has no interest in running hard to second on a possible double play, because that was hit pretty weakly. I'll take it, though, especially after Casey Blake gave me a bit of a scare.

[razzzorsharp]

Hudson with another nice play. Man alive.

[BrewCrewForever]

Man Braun in a slump right now. Need to get him out of it. Anyone know when he hit his last HR?

[BrewCrewForever]

More shadow excuses after today? Perhaps.

ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

[razzzorsharp]

Raise your hand if you thought Ausmus was gonna go yard today.

ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

I feel ya. Man, not a good day so far. We are losing the Futures game is in rain delay. Ughhhh.

Not quite sure if that came out as a response to Yo's pitching, the Brewers lack of hitting and overall execution, or the fact that I started today 4th in Fantasy baseball, and thanks to Yo's outing, will probably be lower than 4th at the end of the day!

[BrewCrewForever]

I think overall lack of execution craigharmann. And I to have Yovani in fantasy.

[crewcrazy]

Man Braun in a slump right now. Need to get him out of it. Anyone know when he hit his last HR?

Looking at his game log, June 25 against Minnesota...that's a 15 game drought. If I counted right, he also had a 17-game drought in May. Braun's been known to hit his homers in bunches, so it's probably not much of a surprise. Still stinks that it's happened during this recent rough stretch, though.

[craigharmann]

Yeah.....the execution is frustrating. Hart's misplay in the first infuriated me.

[craigharmann]

While Yo isn't looking all that great, the Brewers have only gotten one hit off of Kershaw. This is not looking good.

[pretendastronaut]

That AT&T Rapid Rewind thing is just bizarre and useless.

[saget]

I can't remember a player who strikes out looking more than Gamel

[craigharmann]

Welcome to the game Chris Smith.

 

Love, the O-Dog

[secondsith]

Clearly Macha's philosophy about being patient and hitting better pitches has went by the wayside. Let's hit another towering pop fly. More than a little frustrating.

[craigharmann]

PRINCE!!!!!!! Why in the world were you even 2 steps off of the base?

[jwill535]

I never want to here the Brewers complain about the shadows. Other teams seem to have no problem with them.

[pretendastronaut]

"It's been that kind of day"

 

I hear BA say this far to much these days. Meh.
