2014-05-22 Brewers (Garza) at Braves (Harang) 6:10 PM CDT [Brewers lose, 5-4]

[wildcat83]

586.3 average...

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

Tightness in his right side...sounds very DLish

[brewcrewdue80]

Elian Herrera has 17ks now in 47PAs. 36% K Rate.

Reynolds has 51 in 148PAs 34.5%K Rate.

 

You can't possible tell me this guy is worthy of a ML roster spot over Gindl.

 

Btw, the trio of OFs are closer to .600 avg OPS than .650 so it's worse than I thought.

Davis at 641 is the only one over 575

I'm counting on Braun being a 100-120 game player the rest of his career. I wish we had signed he first contract with him and only the first one.

[Fear The Chorizo]

Tightness in his right side...sounds very DLish

 

sounds very much like the longstanding theory that Braun used PEDs religiously to keep himself on the field while dealing with nagging intercostal/oblique/leg injuries is getting alot of circumstancial evidence supporting it. I really want him healthy and productive, but so far he's not helping himself in terms of proving his PED use was a short term thing and not a career long method of staying on the field and keeping himself in peak physical condition.

 

That would really suck with the Brewers being on the hook for big money to him far into the future...gotta hope he's just been dealt a series of bad breaks with the thumb and oblique again, but these appear to be recurring problems that won't be going away as he ages.

I was guessing Davis had above .650 and his majority PAs would carry Herrera's and Schafer total of PAs up towards his 650 range.

 

I'm sorry but it's time to bring up Gindl, Morris and drop Herrera and Overbay.

[wildcat83]

So the whole no batting practice thing probably sticking around for a while

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

Braun starting to remind me a little of Molitor. Just constant nagging injuries that kept him from being on the field consistently, but still a star when healthy. The NL moving to the DH would be good for him.

[DuWayne Steurer]

What a terrible time to get picked off. Why is he leading so far???

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

I'm going to go a little contrarian here...

 

I actually like Hamilton and Block on the radio. It's a big difference from Ueck and nothing will ever really live up to him, but Hamilton makes a good sub. I've also never been a Block fan. He just can't carry the air on his own. He does however do a better job in the traditional PbP/Color team format versus the turns he takes with Bob. Makes me think Block is just a bad fit for the Brewers while Bob is still around, but he's probably a better announcer than I've given him credit for.

[wisniewski]

I know it would've been a special play for Herrera to make that grab, but it was still a laughable effort nonetheless.

[brewcrewdue80]

Let's go Garza! Get this inning over with keep that pitch count under 75 through 6.

[wisniewski]

That HR has rattled Garza a little bit.

[brewcrewdue80]

K'd him at 75th pitch. weak part of the order for the next 6outs and 25pitches then KRod will finish the game off for you Garza! Keep this start up!

[wisniewski]

Herrera is a such a stiff.

 

/captain obvious

Any guesses as to when these 8 are on the field together again?

Or maybe he came back to soon from an injury. Most players are out a month with oblique injuries. The Brewers tried to bring Braun back after 2 weeks because they have no one else.

[craigharmann]

What in the world is going on? So, without a pitching or bullpen coach, who is in charge? Wow.

[jjkoestler]

Mighty fine communication, RR.

[bylo tesi me]

Might as well play without Gennett also.

 

they don't even have Smith warmed up and ready? speechless.

[wildcat83]

How can a pitching change be botched this badly? First bring in the wrong guy and now have to have Smith come in without even stretching?

[folly412]

Are they challenging the number of warmup pitches? This is fun.
