2011-09-17 Brewers at Reds - [Brewers win, 10-1; Gallardo: 4 strikeouts in 5th inning, career high 13 overall]

[endaround]

The Reds are out of the race, it's the 7th, Volquez is at 113 pitches, clearly tiring, and Dusty's leaving him out to hang.

 

Predictable, it nothing else

They only have like a 12 man pen. Volquez has to be run into the ground!

[TwinsBrewersWorldSeries]

Your 2011 MVP Brewers Fans!

[ELCABALLO45]

MVP! MVP! MVP!

 

Guy is un-real.

[pitchleague]

nice. I like to see our MVP Braun coming through like that. say what you will about Prince but Braun has been money this month (a big month for voters.) Of course, it doesn't help Prince that he has little protection behind him in the lineup, but still . . . .

[sdcheezhd]

Sutcliffe et al annointed Braun MVP on BBTN last night, now leaving no doubt.

[packfan79]

Heck of a start by Yo hopefully he can keep this run going into the playoffs.

[jjfanec]

At this point if Braun doesnt win I will be shocked. His numbers all across the board are pretty remarkable for a guy who was injured for a couple weeks

[WisconsinSportsRule]

I told my dad that Volquez was going to regret hitting Nyjer because it was going to be 6-1. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

 

Braun just absolutely jumped all over that ball. Awesome.

[Schlitz001]

D-backs and Padres tied at 1-1 in the 4th inning.

 

Phillies up on the Cardinals 3-0 in the top of the 8th inning.

[markedman5]

phillies pen trying to blow this....3-2 now

[packfan79]

The announcers were even questioning why they didn't bring in a reliever to make Berkman hit from the right side...

[TwinsBrewersWorldSeries]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Phils bullpen, don't do this to me!

[Yeti73]

How great is it that our Braun and Yo, arguably our best hitter and pitcher, were both drafted and developed by the Crew and locked up for the next few years?

[RightFieldCoder]

Braun is now .00058 behind Reyes for the batting title.

 

If he wins the batting title, I don't see how he doesn't get the MVP.

[pebadger]

Phils hold on to 3-2 thru 7.5. Thanks for making it interesting though.

[ReverendBrewmeister]

Mark Kotsay, Professional Hitter. Pinch hitting with RISP is definitely his niche on this roster.

[WisconsinSportsRule]

Wow, what's gotten into Kotsay the last two nights?

 

Nice.

[ilovebeer]

wow welcome back offense.

[jjfanec]

Yuni has a home run and 2 RBI and Kotsay has 3 RBI tonight. Crazy

[ELCABALLO45]

Oh hey Brewers offense! Where have you been?

[ilovebeer]

Braun is on fire

[jjfanec]

Your NL batting title leader - Ryan Braun

[ELCABALLO45]

Braun now leading the NL in BA again http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

Yuni has a home run and 2 RBI and Kotsay has 3 RBI tonight. Crazy

It's called WAR is a telling statistic . . . but what it doesn't tell you is that any player at any time in MLB can do stuff that you don't expect. Too bad that this all happens when the game is more or less over instead of in tight 1-run games.

 

But I'll still take it.

[pebadger]

Well, it's a waning gibbous moon. That and they got to face Bronson Arroyo yesterday.
