2010-04-18 Brewers (Davis) at Nationals (Marquis), 12:35 PM CDT [Brewers win, 11-7]

[ilovebeer]

Now that was a nice quick low pitch inning there by Vargas.

[rluzinski]

A 5 run lead in the 7th and people are getting nervous? If it had started 5-0 Nats, and the Brewers scored 10 runs in the 6th, we'd be jumping for joy. The order that the runs are scored tells you next to nothing about who's going to win so just relax.

Given that there might be one above average defender in Gomez playing today, is a bunch of singles leading to runs really surprising?

There is only 1 bad defender in the IF and that is Fielder so somewhat. Groundballs are going to find holes in bunches sometimes, this isn't a Brewer only thing.

[Polish Falcons]

Any thoughts on Rob Dibble as an announcer?

 

This guy has been brutal all day with his grunts every time the Nats put the ball in play. What was he talking about the Yankees giving the Brewers $80m in revenue sharing? I never heard any such figure. His comments sounded perfectly N Sync with Joe Morgan's.

[brains and braun]

Oh boy.

And there's already a "DFA Doug Davis" thread in the Majors forum.

[rluzinski]

Once again, I'm really glad that Vargas batted for himself, so he could be pulled the next inning. Because, you know, the Brewers don't have enough mediocre relievers to fill innings.

[cnycerveceros]

Is there anything more enjoyable than spending Sunday afternoon watching a 10 run lead become a save situation?

 

Let's get some insurance!

[bobskube]

Parra allows two rockets. I was called out for call his brain the size of a Koala's and I still contend that he will never be a good big league pitcher.

But two separate points there, right?

[davego]

Letting CV hit was...alarming.

[Oldcity]

What if Casey McGehee is actually good?

[Schlitz001]

Casey McGehee is one of the few bright spots so far this season.

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

Diego with the Badger Mutual Insurance run...who thought we'd need that up 10-0?

[PeaveyFury]

Rock: "Great play by Jeff Zaun, made possible by a great throw by Carlos Gonzalez."

 

Guh.

[Funketown]

I never thought that 11th run would be so valuable...Good to see Diego with the two-bagger.

[ilovebeer]

Carlos V has look the best on the pitching staff so far this year.

Guh.

I would love to have Gonzalez.

[Oldcity]

Why can't you platoon in the 2 spot Bill? Good grief.

[WisconsinSportsRule]

Gomez just needs to take pitches without going up there hacking. I'm surprised he actually took 3 balls.

[tomwopat]

At least Carlos Gomez's angry reactions after he makes outs have been getting better.

[ilovebeer]

Why did Carlos V bat there?

[MilwaukeeCounsell]

Parra allows two rockets. I was called out for call his brain the size of a Koala's and I still contend that he will never be a good big league pitcher.

What does his brain size have to do with his physical skill set?

[Teatoe993]

Why did Carlos V bat there?

 

The frequencies in Macha's head are not known to normals.

[travisteck]

Because Macha knows he put is career in a zim-zam and is trying to blow all of our minds with his 26th level managing ability.
