2010-07-18 Brewers (Parra) at Braves (Lowe), 12:35 PM CDT [Brewers lose, 11-6]

[trwi7]

Good thing Gomez has all that speed to prevent double plays. That now makes 8 on the year. Second on the team behind Braun who has 10 in 150 more at bats.

Speed don't slump.

 

(But "toolsy" slap hitters with terrible plate discipline slump eternally)

[azcheesehead]

Heeeere we go!

[trwi7]

I've never seen a first baseman who is holding a runner on first let balls go down the line as much as Fielder.

[crewcrazy]

Can we charge that first run to Prince for missing that ball down the first base line? Defense definitely didn't do Manny any favors there, but he can only blame himself for that rocket double by Diaz. Typically can't expect a guy to hit that pitch, but the scouting report would say he loves the ball down there.

Alright, I'm at the game right now, sitting in right center and I feel like a bit of a dbag using my phone for this right now....BUT this is killing me and I need help. My girlfriend reminded me that the last time we sat in right field was sabathias first start against the Rockies in 08. And almost everyone in the rf bleachers would chant something at Corey hart, trying to get him to do something and acknowledge us. I know it was something simple, but for the life of me I can't remember it....does anyone know what I'm talking about?

[Point Beer Is Best]

I think what you are referring to is: "How many outs, Corey?!"

[Rob]

Maybe Prince should worry less about the beaning and more about stopping a ball that is one foot to his left...glove side. That is why Parra's BABIP is outrageously high (career). It was his second straight hanger to McCann but help a guy out once in a while.

that's the one. I knew it was simple. Thank you

[Rob]

The infield must hate Parra.

[BrewCrewForever]

I'm sick of Manny Parra.

[thablingster]

Nice Manny, nice.

[theavrock]

next guy up better get plunked

[crewcrazy]

Whoops...can't fault the infield defense for that one. 0-2 pitch down the middle.

[viaarete]

Oh well. It was fun while it lasted...

[BrewCrewForever]

This is typical of this Brewers team. Win 2 in a row, have a chance to take 3 of 4 from a good team on the road and then you lay a complete egg in the 4th game.

[Rob]

0-2 pitch down the middle? Why?

[theavrock]

0-2 pitch down the middle? Why?

Because Manny Parra = the suck?

[BrewCrewForever]

0-2 pitch down the middle, the mental midget has returned. I bet Parra and Gomez are good buddies. They have a lot in common, all the talent in the world with very little brains.

[brewmann04]

here hoping the rain returns

[brewmann04]

this is the same Parra and he still has not changed and does not belong in a starting rotation

[azcheesehead]

Enjoy the rest of the game everyone. It's time to mow the lawn!

[viaarete]

Why can't I fall out of love with Parra?? I want so badly for him to become the #2 we've all heard about.

 

Is it time to disillusion myself?

[brewmann04]

it all most time to cut the strings on manny

[pretendastronaut]

This mental midget theme is ridiculous. Oh my god, Manny Parra failed to pitch a good game, he lacks brains!

 

This is by far not the only time this staff has thrown a meatball on an 0-2 count this season and gotten punished for it.
