Atta boy Clarky? Is it going to be Clarky?? (Latter half in blue).

[DocLuna7]

By the way, does Matt Clark have a mohawk of some sort? I guess I hadn't seen him without his cap on before.

[pebadger]

I noticed that Braun isn't even using his right hand to pat a guy on the back.

It's that thing the younguns are doing where there's a thicker stripe on the back of the head, I guess.

[AZBrewCrew]

There appears to be a little spark in this team tonight...

[Invader3K]

Ok we have a first baseman now!

As I tweeted a few minutes ago... "1B WOAH SOLVDD!"

[3and2Fastball]

Clark has had 3 straight years putting up an .860+ OPS in AAA with @ 23 HR's per year (.924 OPS this year)

 

He'll turn 28 in December. Not sure if he's a long term solution but he could certainly replace Overbay in 2015 while we wait for Coulter

[folly412]

Matt Clark: as many RBIs tonight as Mark Reynolds has had since August 15, and as many home runs as Overbay has had since June 23.

 

Looks like our policy for Badger Mutual insurance runs has finally been renewed.

[3and2Fastball]

Matt's Dad (Terry) pitched in MLB for 6 years with 7 different teams

Clark tied with Gordon Beckham in 2008 for the NCAA lead in HR's

[3and2Fastball]

Clark had a .789 SLG % (!) with LSU in 2008

[The stache]

I don't want to see K Rod anywhere near the mound in the ninth.

[pacopete4]

How do we get Clark on the playoff roster if we get there? Is there a way? He should be the starter against RHP. Let Rogers play vs. LHP. Screw the other two

[3and2Fastball]

I don't want to see K Rod anywhere near the mound in the ninth.

 

Who else do you expect RRR to go with?

[3and2Fastball]

Gomez with his 2nd straight 20+ HR 30+ SB season

[The stache]

There appears to be a little spark in this team tonight...

 

Thank God.

[The stache]

Ok, can we please pick up Parra at third?

 

Wait, it's Reynolds. Nevermind. Why is he in there now? WHy take Clark out of the lineup? It's sure not for defensive purposes.

[The stache]

I knew very little about Clark coming in to tonight. Career .865 OPS in the minors with 128 HR. Some definite swing and miss to his game, but he's hit .292, .290 and .304 the last three seasons.

 

Reynolds strikes out. Stop me if you've heard that before.

 

Oh no, it's going to be K Rod. Why, God why?

[trwi7]

Two lefties to start the 9th. Smith and K-Rod warming up. Must. Use. K-Rod. Closerz rool.

[folly412]

Ugh, can Melvin just release Reynolds so Roenicke stops playing him? I'd rather have Yuni on the roster.

[3and2Fastball]

Oh no, it's going to be K Rod. Why, God why?

 

Just to mess with you 'stache!

 

K-Rod can't blow another one, can he? At least he has a 3 run cushion

[3and2Fastball]

Ugh, can Melvin just release Reynolds so Roenicke stops playing him? I'd rather have Yuni on the roster.

 

Now that's just going too far!

 

Just say "no" to Yuni B!

[LMMCBrewer]

Are we finally gonna get one?

[The stache]

Ugh, can Melvin just release Reynolds so Roenicke stops playing him? I'd rather have Yuni on the roster.

 

I don't understand the logic.

 

"New guy, and possible first baseman of at least the near future. Good job in hitting your first career home run. We're going to take you out in favor of the guy that's not hitting worth a lick."

 

Two outs. One more. Please.

[3and2Fastball]

Are we finally gonna get one?

 

Yep

 

4-16 in the last 20, here we come
