2013-04-30 Pirates (McDonald) at Brewers (Estrada), 7:10 PM CDT [Roof Open Tonight! Brewers win wacky slugfest, 12-8]

[Brewnittle]

God I hate Harold Reynolds on MLB network....they showed the Rickie Weeks HR and Harold referred to Miller Park as a "joke park" I really hate that guy so much

[FVBrewerFan]

Its nice to make fun of Augie but we all know a few guys/uncles like him and they are always awesome. BA is just ripping on Augie and he doesn't care because its true

 

Actually, that's true. My uncle taught me how to throw a break a ball when I was 12.

[brwrsfan]

Can't fault the contact play with Gomez running, Yuni actually hit it hard too, just right at him.

[topper09er]

Yuni is like Pedro Cerrano after he learned to hit the curve ball

[adamb100]

This is a long game. Creeping to the 4 hour mark.

He used to be simply bad. Now he's become a caricature of himself.

I'd love to hear that rationale from him sometime. The fences are pretty deep all way around compared to most parks. It's nothing like Cincy or Philly or even Yankee Stadium for that matter. The ball tends to fly out to the alleys some nights, but thats no different than most parks.

 

I usually don't mind Harold but that's just a stupid comment.

[ttsather]

Harold doesn't let the facts get in the way. Harold says what he wants. He's grown.

haha very true

[fondybrewfan]

Miller Park may be a hitters park but it is still no where near the top 5 for hitter friendly parks IMO

 

None of these home runs today have been wall scrapers; they probably don't get out of all parks but they are at least doubles off the wall

[ttsather]

I feel like everyone is still giving Augie too much enunciative credit.

 

All I hear him talking about is a brikkabahl, which I've presumed to this point is some kind of Ikea product.

[FVBrewerFan]

I have always wanted them to move the walls back a couple feet, especially in the power alleys. But it's not a joke park.

[Brewnittle]

I think Harold was just trying to fill his "say 12 stupid things a day quota" or something

[brwrsfan]

It's a hitters park, and the Brewers have consistently bulit a roster to take advantage of that, but it's not like it's absurd. The fences are right in line if not deeper than most parks. Sure, the ball flies out sometimes with the right weather conditions, but how is that different than anywhere else? Wrigley with the wind blowing out or Yankee Stadium with the jetstream to the RF alley.

 

Alright, come on Henderson. Not a save, and you've been warming up for awhile, but let's just get some nice easy outs here please.

According to my kids, lol is "out" but I can't help it.....That made me lol

Ditto!

[brwrsfan]

LOL is out? I'm getting old in a hurry apparently.

 

Two outs...nobody on...I might be in the minority here, but I'd retaliate and hit this guy here.

[brwrsfan]

Bust out the brooms tomorrow boys!!!

[topper09er]

ARam tomorrow?

[brwrsfan]

Is there anywhere to hear radio highlights online? JSO used to have them but I can't find it. Tonights game would be fun to listen to.

[topper09er]

Well Augie still sounds like Howard Cosell compared to Davey

[TooLiveBrew]

Rickie Weeks is just a class act. I can't not root my butt off for the guy. So glad to see him with a (hopeful) slumpbuster game tonight.

 

When he gets asked questions about his individual success, he always answers about hard work & being part of a team. When he gets asked about a team being hot, he answers about hard work & putting it in every day no matter the result of the previous game. When he's struggling, he answers about working hard every day & staying focused. Just everything you want in a leader. And yes I know these are sports clichés, but when Rickie talks about them I don't hear just PR-speak.

MLB doesn't seem to want the highlights to be available online anymore, which is a bummer.

 

In the hawing household, we define any game with 25 or more total hits as a wacky slugfest. Tonight I believe the 25th hit was Yuni's bomb.

[trwi7]

Not a bad result considering Tim Welke gifted the Pirates 5 runs.

Sounds more like a guy who has been drilled on what to say to the media more than being unselfish to be honest. He does not strike me as one of the more humble guys on the team.
