2009-07-31 Brewers (Looper) at San Diego (Gaudin) : 9:05 PM CT [Brewers lose, 11-7]

[Vgmastr]

I really wouldn't mind seeing McGehee at 3B and Counsell at SS on an everyday basis. JJ has been terrible all year and has shown no signs of improvement.

[stalton]

When was the last time the opposing pitching coach made an early inning visit

[jeffy]

Nice to see the other guys doing dumb things like walking a Counsell to bring up Braun and playing sloppy defense.

[pebadger]

This is like watching the Brewers vs the Brewers.

[burniebrewer]

I think I need to keep complaining...it's worked so far this inning.

[logan82]

Holy crap what a turn around. I thought we were done this inning after 2 outs and now we lead by 5, nope now 6.

[crewcrazy]

Nothing makes me happier than jumping out to a big league early in these ridiculously late West coast games. I'd love to get to bed at a reasonable time tonight. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

I like the two-out magic working in the Brewers' favor, for a change. Here's hoping this doesn't devolve into a wacky slugfest.

 

Edit: I won't begrudge our Pacific Time members their rare opportunity to follow Brewers games at a "regular" hour, but otherwise, yeah, I agree with crewcrazy. It'll be hard to stay up for the end of this one.

[Mr QL]

well this inning has been roller coaster.

[saget]

That puts the odds in our favor, somehow.

Never doubt me.

[Trowekamp]

Hardy with a chance to make the first and last outs of the inning..

[trwi7]

Hardy made two of the three outs that inning. Impressive.

[dlk9s]

It's nights like this I'm kind of glad my kid is up sick. As I was holding him, I got to watch the big inning (and I'm east coast).

[brewcrew7]

I have always disliked JJ's game but I am hating him more and more with every passing game.

[Mr QL]

JJ, I am disappoint.

[crewcrazy]

It wouldn't be a Looper start without an unexpected offensive explosion, would it? Hopefully he didn't get too cold that inning.

Yes it is actually nice to sit and watch a game "after" dinner!

[Mr QL]

If we gave Yo the run support Looper inexplicably gets, he'd be a 20 game winner.

[TheCrew07]

Looper gets a lot of run support for whatever reason, but he sure does help his own cause. I was actually surprised he's batting below .200, maybe it's just because he seems to put the ball in play quite a bit. As much as I liked Sheets, his ABs really pissed me off, I like having pitchers that can swing it a little bit... now we just guys that can actually pitch and hit and we'll be all set.

I'm just the opposite. Nothing I enjoy more than a west coast Brewers game. I'm a late nighter by nature even if I do get up way too early every morning.

[brewcrew7]

JJ helping the team again. Man the hate keeps growing. And Looper liked that great play by JJ as well.

[TheCrew07]

Has there been an easy victory all year? There must have been a couple, I'm just having trouble remembering off the top of my head.

 

edit. Die Eckstein you little weasely scrub.

[badgerfletch]

Looper just continuing to make sure he keeps his negative value for the year

[brewdude15]

Ok, game's going back off. I turn it on, and it's 7-1. I notice there's no HR involved so I decide to watch it. Now, it's 7-5, with Gonzo up, and a runner on. Good night everybody.

[SeriesFinale]

Unbelievable

 

This should've been a game to rest the pen.
