2011-04-29 Brewers (Marcum) at Astros (Myers) - 7:05 PM CDT [Brewers win, 5-0]

Yuni destroyed that ball.

[Oxy]

Yuni finally displays one of his only true assets as a player. Good to see. 9 game hitting streak too.

[ELCABALLO45]

Nice at bat Carlos!

[Oxy]

LuCroy's been terrible tonight. Not sure if he could've gotten Bourne there anyway but the first two steals would've been outs with good throws.

[Oxy]

Gomez and Betancourt walk in the same game. Now THAT's rare.

[owbc]

The evidence continues to mount that Sveum is an excellent hitting coach.

[owbc]

Prince's HR measured at 486 feet (officially), longest in MLB since Adam Dunn's 504 foot shot in 2008.

 

If that HR would have been at Miller Park, it would have gone over the RF bleachers and out the window.

Nice play by Braun in the field.

[hawing]

Dear Bill Hall:

 

Keep your mouth guard in your mouth. All the way in your mouth.

 

Thanks,

El Caballo means can't throw to the infield right?

[GamelToe]

Gomez recipe for success: Let Rickie get on, beat out double play, steal 2nd, score on Braun/Fielder hit.

[jason21nl]

OUCH!

[Yeti73]

I would love for the Gomez of the past two weeks to be the Gomez of 2011. I would also like the Braun/Prince of April to be the Braun/Fielder of 2011. This lineup is TOUGH if Gomez hits well.

[ELCABALLO45]

Wow those are 2 big boys running into each other. Hope Prince is ok.

[owbc]

That's the first time that Prince hasn't overwhelmingly won a collision, but it looks like Wallace still got the worst of it.

[PrinceEatMeat]

Geez, Fielder going into 1st base hard. LOL.

[razzzorsharp]

Wallace was mad, very.

[ELCABALLO45]

Yeah he was, Prince kinda lowered the shoulder but he should be mad at Barmes for that throw if anything.

[razzzorsharp]

I see a Brewer pitcher coming close to a no-hitter this year. Seems like they have the arms for it this year.

[jason21nl]

What a great catch.....and once again what a stupid ass place to put a hill and a pole in play

[endaround]

I swear out of all the "hitters" parks supposedly in the league I always see balls carry more in Houston.

[razzzorsharp]

What was the PC for Marcum?

[endaround]

98 pitches for Marcum

[owbc]

I like the hill more than the 250 ft porch in LF, the Brewers have lost far too many games from cheap popups in Houston. The flagpole only cost Richie Sexson a bomb once and the hill is so far away that it almost never comes into play.

[jason21nl]

I don't even like bullpens in foul territory but having obstacles in the field of play is stupid imo
