2011-09-16 Brewers (Wolf) at Reds (Arroyo) - [Brewers win, 6-3; Braun reaches 30/30]

BRAUN!!!! MVP. MVP. MVP.

[PrinceEatMeat]

Kotsay! Braun! YES!!! The offense is back baby!

[trwi7]

BRAUN! That's Arroyo's 43rd homer given up this year.

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

BEAST MODE!!!

[pebadger]

Well, I can go to my football game now. RR has this under control. .

 

Arroyo is a godsend for this offense.

[ReverendBrewmeister]

Back-to-back homers on first pitches. Kotsay and Braun. Keep teeing off on this guy.

[nate82]

Offense awaken!

[davemakovec]

Alright! I was going to make a joke about Cory Provus making a mistake because Kotsay couldn't have possibly hit a home run, but that wouldn't be so funny now that Braun followed with another one.

 

C'mon, Prince, get number two on the game and number three on the inning.

[packfan79]

Wow offense weird...

The bats have woken up.

[Polish Falcons]

Good call by Roenicke loading up the lineup with lefties

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

Maybe the Reds hate the Cards so much they are subconsciously lobbing up meatballs...that rookie in LF isn't feeling enough Cards hate yet.

[FoxyFoxes]

Kotsay really has stepped up when asked much of the year. Sure he isn't going to put up Braun numbers or even Hart numbers...but he has been a positive influence on this club.

[jjkoestler]

DFA Green.

[Raw Biz]

I still think Green is better defensively than McGehee, regardless of what Schroeder says. McGehee may have made that but he will also boot/throw away easier plays and Green probably has a bit more range.

edit: Schroeder is acting like McGehee is Ozzie Smith and Green is Yuni out there. I think a lot of it is because Green's a rookie.

[trwi7]

Will Brian just shut up?

 

"Green is a below average fielder at 3rd and 2nd. He's probably more comfortable at 2nd because that's where he spent most of his time."

 

Just don't talk, silence would be better than listening to you.

[burnzy24]

Please stop Bill, Roeneke did not sacrifice defense by putting Green at 3b. That was a tough play with Phillips running.

I changed the audio feed b/c of this. Thank MLB.tv for that ability on the PS3.

All this team needed to escape its home woes was to get back on the road.

[Bernman23]

Facing those 3 consecutive Cy Young Award Winners/Candidates (Worley hasn't been around long enough but has pitched like one) really messed with Green's confidence.

[logan82]

If Morgan doesn't bunt so often the 3B is probably playing back more on that play and he gets an infield hit.

[owbc]

Based on Green's batting stance with that big leg kick, I expect him to be streaky like Jenkins. It's hard to keep your timing right with that stance.

[TheBwaz]

Sure gets quiet in here when we're winning (or Kotsay doubles).

[dlk9s]

So while I'm a little off, I did say in the RR thread that Kotsay would probably go 2-3 with a 2B, BB, 1 RBI, and 1 R.

[logan82]

Yuni must have like 30 IF popouts this year. I think Votto has like 10 in his career (over 2000 ABs).

I'd venture to guess that he has more than 30 actually.

Good guess with 30. Yuni has 28 this year. Votto has 1.

Votto has 10 so far in his career.
