7 innings would be gold, assuming tha there are no more extra innings games. I also hope Cappy eats up some innings tomarrow, because when Glover throws, it may turn into a game where the pen just takes turns pitching like the 5th starter spot called for when Wise started last year. I hope not.

[DHonks]

was Jenkins at least swinging at strikes?

[TrueBrew]

Come on Russ time for a jack baby

First off, Cappy goes on Wed, not tomorrow. Glover goes tomorrow. Secondly, I'm interested in seeing Glover. In his outing Friday he was throwing 92-93 with an incredible looking cutter/slurve/slider.

Branyan is 7-21 with 2 dingers vs. Wells.

[Shampoo4U]

Why the fireworks after the Miller double????

[Shampoo4U]

Was it a test for the Branyan Home Run???

[TrueBrew]

Yeah Baby!!!!

[UeckerAddict]

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

3TO!

RUSSELL THE MUSCLE

[PeaveyFury]

That was a really, really long homerun.

[thermalnoise]

Yes! That's my boy!

[ja002h]

Repent and follow 3TO!!!

[PeaveyFury]

Even Kip Wells was impressed by that one.

Um... 8-22 with 3 dingers

[DHonks]

I have a feeling Russell may hit another jack this game, and get a double...oh, and a walk, too

[bernieh]

3-2 is the ultimate count for Russell. They should start him out 3-2 on every at-bat.

[TrueBrew]

This is killing me...I want to see the homer...stupid school in MN

[Blazer25]

<--------------------Atta Boy Russ!!!!!

[BrewCrewInMN]

i hate to brag but....reference page 1 for me calling the Branyan ya-ya....I hear it was a massive shot too...gotta be pandemonium at Miller.

[DHonks]

right now I'm feeling good about starting Branyan over Eric Chavez today

[batman]

That was killed. Russell just flicked his wrists and hit that like 500 feet. Amazing.

 

The only other home run that came close to that as far as I can remember was a shot by Morneau either last year or the year before.

 

EDIT: And by that I mean home runs that hit the scoreboard at Miller Park.

 

That was loooooooong.

[EdgarDiazRocks]

That sounded far.

 

Good day for it.

 

Got to out popular Cirillo.

[jakesdaddio]

Davis is throwing a lot of pitches, and many of them are missing.

[bucksman4]

He's getting out of those jams early. Too many walks. 1 per inning ain't gonna cut it. Sooner or later these teams are going to start to produce some runs from these walks. SETTLE DOWN DOUG!! THROW STRIKES!!!!!!!!
