2014-08-15 Brewers (Nelson) at Dodgers (Greinke), 9:10 PM CDT [Brewers win, 6-3; Nelson strong, OOOverbay clutch (3-RBI PH 2B)]

[sdcheezhd]

Larry King is usually in the seats near the field a little towards the 3d base side.

[TURBO]

Counsell does a nice job in the booth...

 

I am enjoying him so far.

Brewers broadcast lamenting on and on about the "Brewers relying on the home run". Is this true? Where do the Brewers rank on runs scored via home run?

 

We have 123 HRs and have scored 184 runs on them, out of 523 runs (35%) Other teams with 100+ HRs:

 

COL 207 R on 135 HR, 561 runs total (37%)

CHC 177 R on 111 HR, 461 runs total (38%)

PIT 160 R on 108 HR, 511 runs total (31%)

WAS 166 R on 104 HR, 499 runs total (33%)

 

and StL, fewest HRs in the NL: 120 runs on 80 HRs, 445 runs total (27%)

Estrada probably unavailable? Hopefully Kintzler and Gorzelanny are good to go multiple tonight.

[dlk9s]

Man, if Gordon doesn't luckbox that infield single...

[bigredrobbo]

I don't care enough to look up who the TV guys for the Cards are, but their color guy is painful. Not Davey Nelson painful - he's fastball in the junk painful - but bad nonetheless. Just called a 4 strikeout night a Golden Zambrano!

I think that is when you throw a no-hitter at a neutral park

[PrinceFielderx1]

This is going to be a good game and we are going to win, so I'm going to get some beer.

Soooo, do the Brewers rely on the home run? Seems like less than others and more than others...average. But definitely not significantly more than others to go on and on about it for 20 minutes.

too much manual work to do the whole league, but the Brewers are probably on the higher end. Still not highest

Whew, now I can turn this game off knowing for certainty that we have a win locked up!

You must have missed the last time he was posting while drinking...

[AZBrewCrew]

In case you werent aware. Jimmy Nelson is from Niceville, Florida. Scully has mentioned this 3 times so far....2 mentions short of making it a drinking game...and this LaCroix guy batting must be new

[Bombers]

Uhg .... Braun is just not doing well ... So disappointing

[wildcat83]

Didn't score but a productive inning driving up the pitch count a little.

[cool story bro]I drove through Niceville a few weeks ago. Also, I was in a restroom in a Florida restaurant that had newspapers above the urinals. One of the stories in the sports section was a "local boy done good" piece about Jimmy Nelson getting called up to bigs.

Beef O' Brady's or Alehouse?

[bigredrobbo]

Cards scrape another one.

[DuWayne Steurer]

Little league teams know how to do a rundown.

[topper09er]

What the crap is Segura doing, you go like 3 steps in front of the base, not 20

[jason21nl]

How freaking terrible was that run down?

[trwi7]

What an awful rundown.

[AZBrewCrew]

Can we sit Segura and Braun for this series and run Herrera and Parra out there. Usually the Sunday Matinee lineup is fairly successful

[wildcat83]

Reynolds has been good defensively so far but that was terrible. Throw early to second run him back towards first... Taught in little league. Worst case they end up back on first, never on second
