2011-05-11 Padres (Stauffer) at Brewers (Wolf) - [Brewers lose, 13-6]

[trwi7]

.411 OPS for Nieves. LOL.

[SenatorShriv]

With the Nieves at the plate the best I could hope for was a past ball that would score Hart. It stinks when that is the best case scenario.

[brwrsfan]

That ball to Casey, the second strike call sure looked out of the zone to me, that was a bad call I think.

 

I'm so glad we can have Nieves hitting. Sucks that Hart missed a HR by inches (though it should have been caught I think) and then Betancourt drilled a ball 390 for an out. At least we're somewhat back in it.

 

Mitre with a quick two outs here, let's get the bats back up there. I wonder if we'll let Mitre hit or not.

Terrible effort today from Wolf. To expect your bullpen to pitch 5 2/3 innings today after having them taxed yesterday is just pathetic. 2 stinker outings in a row from the $10 million man.

Here we go, nice quick inning from Mitre to get them back up to the plate. Lets put up another crooked number here.

Right after 4 good outings.

[brwrsfan]

Mitre looked better at the plate than Nieves. I'm not even saying that as a joke. It's true.

[bucksman4]

Weeks K's way too much for a leadoff hitter.

Who cares? He's always up with the bases empty.

[umphrey]

Weeks K's way too much for a leadoff hitter.

As long as his OBP is up around .350 I couldn't care less

[endaround]

Weeks K's way too much for a leadoff hitter.

Of all batting positions where Ks don't matter leadoff is the place where it matters the least.

[logan82]

I think that ball Braun hit bounced.

[ELCABALLO45]

Look at Kotsay starting 2 out magic. (I kid)

[logan82]

Nope but it was really low.

I knew I would be pounced on for that point, but I firmly believe it. 184 K's last year? My belief is he's only the leadoff hitter for 1 AB per game. When he follows the pitcher, who usually makes an out, any guys on base would be his responsibility to hit in. He K's at the rate of a 3-hitter which will be where he lands next year.

Wolf should have known better than to have a bad performance today? What a silly criticism.

And this isn't 1995. $10 mil isn't much for a starting pitcher in free agency. It get's you a little above average starting pitcher on average.

[ELCABALLO45]

PRINCE!!

[pretendastronaut]

That's a nice way to get to #200! Congrats and thank you Prince Fielder!

[rluzinski]

Wow, glad I did not give up on this game!

[DocBrewPack]

Tie game, glad prince and Braun's slump appear over

[ELCABALLO45]

Yeah, no one has ever come back from 5-0 in the 3rd inning before.

A lineup with only four players above a .600 OPS?

Well, since you asked...

[dlk9s]

Of course, when the game is free on MLB.tv, I have to miss half the game. And then, when I do come back, I'm logging on to BF.net when Prince hits the homer, so I missed that, too. At least Uke is the audio for the game, so I heard it.

[umphrey]

Nice! I would gain a lot of confidence in this team if they can win a game where their starter stinks and they are down 5-0.

[bucksman4]

Ideal scenario brewing for me. Wolf gets shelled and the Brewers come back to still win.

[brewers19]

What a fickle game this is.
