2010-04-12 Brewers (Davis) at Cubs (Dempster), 1:20 PM CDT [Brewers lose, 9-5]

[T B0NE 10]

Looks like we are wearing the alternate "Milwaukee" unis- I like

[Dragonbait]

Can't wait to get home and see 'em

[Gobias Industries]

Dempster is tiiiicked off about those first two pitches. Tight zone today.

[ELCABALLO45]

Nice at bat by Jimmy.

 

Would LOVE to get some runs early in this thing. Also, I love the new uni's as well.

[ELCABALLO45]

Wow Braun, Dempster can't find the zone and you swing first pitch?

[trwi7]

Terrible at bat Braun. 7 of his 11 pitches were for balls and he just walked a guy and you swing at a crappy first pitch.

Early on, I know, but he seems much less patient this year. And Fielder continues to under-whelm...

I was thinking the same thing as early as game 2 with Braun. It really concerns me. And Fielder come on.

I don't mind Braun swinging at the first pitch. It was a fastball down the middle. There's no sense in letting a fat one go by and getting yourself down 0-1.

 

 

I'm a little nervous for Davis since Dempster wasn't getting the corners called with a home plate ump who is from Chicago.

[Dragonbait]

I'm not worried about Prince.... He's always (at least to me without any numbers) to be a slow starter.

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

Prince always seems to start slow. It always feels like we're waiting for his first or second homer until mid-May, then BAM!

 

I'd agree on Braun. The only thing holding him back from Cooperstown is pitch selection.

It was a slider outside.

[ELCABALLO45]

Sit down D. Lee. Nice pitch by Davis.

[And That]

Are the audio and video way out of sync for anyone else on MLB.TV?

[cnycerveceros]

The audio and Gameday are further off than normal. Way off, actually.

[FedEx227]

Yeah, so I've heard. MLB.TV has been a wreck this entire year thus far.

[dlk9s]

Regardless of what it was, it didn't seem to break much and was over the plate. I'm all for guys swinging at pitches they like. It's when they start fishing and flailing that it becomes a problem.

[1992casey]

Macha is still doing a horrible job getting guys playing time. A few days from now we will need Gerut to pinch hit and he will not have faced live pitching for a long time. Then he won't get playing time because he isn't hitting well.

 

And Ken will find himself in a zim zam and wonder why.

[FedEx227]

Zaun still doesn't have a hit. Oye http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/frown.gif

If Jody started pronouncing his name as "grit" he could see 600 ABs this year.

[dlk9s]

Nice consistency between the 1st and 2nd innings for the home plate ump. That third strike to Escobar was a ball last inning.

[sheethead]

Davis, Weeks, Diego

 

Let's get some runs!

[Dragonbait]

Ugh... Bad jump?

[dlk9s]

Ugh... Bad jump?

Looked ok, but I'd have to see it again. It was a perfect throw, though. He was out by so much that he had to have had a bad jump, too.

[ELCABALLO45]

That had to be a really late jump by Rickie. Everyone steals on Soto.
