2011-05-04 Brewers (Greinke) at Braves (Hudson) - Game 2 - 7:00ish PM CDT [Brewers lose, 8-0]

[ELCABALLO45]

Wow Greinke got away with one.

 

I can see the conversation with the ump

 

UMP - So you like it in Milwaukee, Zack?

ZG - Yeah well I left KC to get away from Bentancourt, sure enough he follows me here and he's our best defender? What the hell?

UMP - Haha well lets not go that far now.

It sure does sound like Ueck is pretty disgusted right now.

He needs to hit the booze like he did in Major League.

 

[pebadger]

I won't be surprised if the Brewers get no hit in the nitecap.

Just waiting for Rock and BA to sit and praise the opposing pitcher as the reason why the Brewers' bats aren't working.

Like my old signature from Major League II:

 

"Welcome back to Major League Baseball...sort of."

At the very least it'll probably take three innings for Hudson to reach Greinke's first-inning total.

[Mr QL]

what was that? 8 pitches?

[trwi7]

Manny Parra has a UCL sprain (a UCL tear is Tommy John surgery) and a strained flexor tendon. Shut down for now.

[markedman5]

Is anyone else laughing at BA and Rock being in shock as to why the Brewers are suddenly making errors?

 

Did they really think that because we didn't make a bunch of errors in the first 15 games that it meant we were a good defensive team?

 

Do they even know what the term small sample means?

[Yeti73]

This is beyond frustrating. I'll give the Braves credit, they foul off everything in the zone

[Schlitz001]

There's a rain delay in Boston right now and the Brewers are on ESPN for anyone not watching the game.

[Mr QL]

May as well get somebody up

 

I'm absolutely embarrassed for this team

 

I hope they are too

[ELCABALLO45]

Yeah Zack, Probably shouldn't walk Nate McLouth

[brains and braun]

DFA Greinke.

[bucksman4]

About what I expected from Zack so far. Not sharp at all and very hittable. I knew the hype wagon would be disappointed today.

[GormanHarvey]

I would give anything for the Brewers to have an approach at the plate the Braves have shown

Agreed. I am so over watching this team right now.

[stoutdude04]

Makes me sad to see Pitt above us in the standings.

[Warning Track Power]

Good call Schlitz but...I'm thinking I'd rather watch a rain delay than a 5th consecutive loss.

And they're up big vs. SD again today.

Better turn off the TV for the Top of the 3rd then. We have the epitomes of discipline coming to the plate.

It hasn't been a very good day.

You expected the defense would suck and the Braves would dump a couple balls in for hits? I hope no one expected Greinke to strike out every batter but you really seem to be pressing your prediction a bit hard.

[Schlitz001]

The only ball that was really hard was a flyout to the warning track. The two runs that were scored were on a slow groundball up the shortstop hole and a bloop single to right center. His control looks a little bit off, but coming back from injury you have to give him a little bit of a break. If our defense was better, his pitch count would be much lower right now.
