2010-07-08 Giants (Zito) at Brewers (Parra), 1:10 PM CDT [Brewers lose, 9-3]

[brewmann04]

Kottara and Gomez hitting back to back is a Killer?

[adambr2]

Well, Zito can't beat us now. A moral victory.

[trwi7]

Denny Bautista has thrown 12 balls and 0 strikes in this series.

[pete]

Throw Riske into a trade with the Giants. They need some bullpen help too.

[pete]

Why does the ump give him that?

[trwi7]

1. That was a ball.

 

2. How do you give him that pitch when he's been all over the place?

[adambr2]

What ever happened to that old adage that you don't give pitchers close calls if they're not hitting the strike zone?

[Funketown]

I wonder what the headline in the JS will be if Parra gives up 4 runs over 6 IP...

"Parra gives up 18 scorching liners, great range by defense helps them get to 9 of them, but also leads to two defensive errors"

 

by Anthony Witrado

 

Even the exceptional defense of this ball club could not keep Parra from giving up a horrendous six runs in five innings against one of the worst offenses in the history of baseball. Parra was wild as well, walking two batters and throwing 32 balls out of the strike zone. By my math, with the way he threw today, he should have given up 8 walks.

[Paulus88]

You have to include that Parra had an error too making any unearned runs rightfully earned and in fact should count double towards his ERA.

[pete]

Move that guy's feet for crying out loud.

[pete]

2 really bad pitches that George has chased for strike 3s.

[adambr2]

Would be a really really good time for Braun to break out of it.

[SeriesFinale]

This team truly makes me miserable

 

That should have been two more runs

[GB12]

Should have used Counsell.

 

 

Sadly I'm only half kidding.

[adambr2]

At least he hit the ball hard???

 

I really feel sorry for the bride out there today.

[BrewCrewForever]

This team knows how to suck the life out of me.

[GB12]

I don't. In fact I despise them. The only reason to wear that to the game is to draw attention to themselves. They could have taken 5 minutes to change before going to the game, but they'd rather get on TV and get meaningless congratulations from fans around them. I hope they're sweating their asses off.

[brewmann04]

Hom Many LOB so far today

I hope somebody spills stuff on her dress.

[trwi7]

Hom Many LOB so far today

15 I think.

As an anonymous MLB scout recently said,

 

"The worst infield defense in baseball. Easily."

[topper09er]

the record for LOB for a 9 inning game is 20 back in 1956. The brewers did leave 19 on once in 1986. The record in insight today!

Unbeleivable, Bochy sends the pitcher up to bat to help save his bullpen and the guy gets hurt. You'd almost think that Macha was giving him tips.

Well at least I still have a reason to watch yet today then. It's surely not to see if we can still get back into it.

Where was this said? I'd like to see the article or whatever it was just to laugh.
