2014-04-09 Brewers (Garza) at Phillies (Hernandez), 6:05 PM CDT [Brewers win, 9-4]

[dlk9s]

I'm getting a little tired of watching "Seggy" getting plunked. That one could have been bad, possible broken bone, I guess we'll find out soon enough.

To paraphrase an old friend, there are lots of little bones in there.

[The stache]

Alright Braun, deliver the knockout blow again please...

 

Thank you!!!!!!

 

And yes, I quoted myself

 

You are allowed!

 

God, this is so much fun. I don't know what the rest of the season holds, but if we hold on here, 6-2 sounds really sweet!

[wisniewski]

I love Braun, as you can all see by me calling him a stud, but we have to admit he went a lot farther than regular old PED users. Watch his press conference from 2012 knowing what you know now.

 

Judge not lest ye be judged. It is what it is. Forgive and forget. At the end of the day none of us know Braun on a personal level. He plays for our favorite baseball team and is providing entertainment. Baseball is not, ever was, nor shall ever be a "pure" game.

[TURBO]

I am going to do something I rarely do, EVER! I am giving Kudos to RRR for allowing Thornburg to pitch more than one inning. Good job Ronnie. (I think I just threw up a little)

[The stache]

Woof! Thorny with the heat!

 

What, no boos, Philly fans?

[wisniewski]

1-2-3 Inning. Let's put this one away boys.

 

I will be at Miller Park this weekend and I can't wait.

[TURBO]

Tyler Thornburg = Stud!

 

My favorite T-Rat of all time, making it look easy!

[trwi7]

Let Thornburg start the 9th.

I am over it and don't really care, I'm glad we gave him a standing O on opening day. But I totally understand away teams booing him and I don't think its hypocritical that they have Ruiz but boo Braun because of the extensive, over the top lying Braun did.

[topper09er]

Should have left Thorny in to bunt and start the 9th

[topper09er]

It wasn't that great of a catch, plus he took a bad first step

[The stache]

Wow, Revere channeling his inner Willie Mays!

[young guns]

Woof! Thorny with the heat!

 

What, no boos, Philly fans?

With how fast they were leaving after brauns triple, I dont think there are enough of them left to boo.

[Eye Black]

Am I the only one who thinks the ball didn't even hit Jean? I swear it hit his bat...

I watched the frame-by-frame side view, and the ball deflects just before it gets to the bottom knob of the bat, so it looked like it grazed the very bottom part of his hand. It wasn't a solid shot to his hand, so I would be surprised if it was anything serious. It would be nice, however, if they stopped throwing inside at him.

[topper09er]

Wang?

[Eye Black]

Time to let Wang out?

[endaround]

It wasn't that great of a catch, plus he took a bad first step

 

Yep. A good center fielder would have run to the spot and been camped under that ball.

I agree he definitely earned some extra hate with the deceit and lying.

 

I also doubt the 3 PED heroes of these Philly fans would have not done the same thing if they had an opportunity to escape justice by attacking the process.

[ELCABALLO45]

This should be a fun team to watch all season long... If only we had a real 1B. I am going to find it hard to stomach the Ks from that position. The guy is a BIG WIFFA!

 

I can stomach that! Reynolds goes BOOM!

[The stache]

First base concerns? What first base concerns? Lyle gives one a ride, only to have a triple, er a double, taken away. Reynolds comes up, learns from Lyle's mistake, and decides to just hit it out.

[AZBrewCrew]

I want to see some Wang

[trwi7]

Let Thornburg start the 9th.

 

Change that. Wouldn't mind Wang here.

[ELCABALLO45]

GIVE ME SOME WANG, RON!

Lyle is still hitting .071, which isn't really surprising, and IMO shouldn't have any role on this team except to PH and an occasional day for Reynolds. Well I don't think he should have a role on this team at ALL, but seeing as he does, I don't think it should be any more extensive than that.

[bylo tesi me]

I'm seriously liking this Brewers team! that is all.
