interesting to see Krynzel is playing again. Jenkins with the day off, Magruder in left

[DHonks]

well, Pods with a nice jump. Interesting to note he's now sliding head first sometimes and footfirst other times. He started this maybe a month ago.

 

Rough inning for Santos. Gotta figure he'll be out shortly.

[1992casey]

whizkid,

 

I botched that one! http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/mad.gif

 

The incorrect date on yesterday's game thread misled me. No excuse for the game time, though.

 

Everything's fixed now.

way to go Keith...start scratching away

[1992casey]

HR #16 for Ginter!

[davego]

You know, I would pay good money to be able to get all 162 games on my TV. I wonder how muc it would take for that to happen. I'm thinink $5 per game. $810 bucks per person, per year? Shoot, I might pay that just to NOT get the friggen Red Soxs and Yankees every other day.

[rluzinski]

I like Ginter!

[1992casey]

Overbay sets the team record with his 50th double.

 

Congratulations, Lyle!

[DHonks]

HUGE!!!

[1992casey]

MAGRUDER!!!!!!

 

2 long foul balls before his 2-run homer ties the game at 4.

[rluzinski]

Ginter gets his OPS back up to .774. Can we PLEASE see what he can do in a FULL year?

[1992casey]

Did anyone catch the name of the play by play guy on ESPN2 today? It's Mark something or other (sounds a little like 'dealing').

 

Kyle Peterson's the color analyst.

Did anyone catch the name of the play by play guy on ESPN2 today?

 

I've got Yanks-BoSox on ESPN2, so luckily I have the MLB cable package. So sorry

 

 

And as for Ginter playing everyday, I can see it, just not where. I figure we have to bring back Spivey, but given he's had hamstring issues in his career, I would like to see Ginter play like Loretta did a few years back. 2 days a week at 2nd, 1 a week in the outfield, 1 at 3rd/1st). That's 2/3rds of the games, not to mention that we always seem to have an injury. If he could play SS, I'd let him split time with Hall

[DHonks]

speaking of Ginter, when did he remember how to drive a ball? After watching him flail at the ball for much of the year, he's really been hitting the ball hard in the last 3 or so weeks. Maybe it's something mechanical, because he's not pulling off of everything. Either that, or he's just not getting lots of breaking balls on the outer half anymore

[DHonks]

way to go David...2 hits, a walk, and he's seeing lots of pitches. Oh, and playing a good RF, too

[1992casey]

Tulsa Drillers' announcer Mark Neely was the play-by-play man today.

[brewmann04]

why Counsell with the bases jiunced and not Jenks

[1992casey]

---

why Counsell

---

That was questioned by the ESPN announcers. Did other broadcast teams question it, too?

 

The only thing Neely and Peterson could guess is that Ned would have wanted to use Geoff in a later at bat.

[whizkid]

That's what Bill speculated. Where are you that you got it on ESPN2? On FSN they said Brewers/Astros was only on ESPN2 in Boston and NY.
