Well, at least it looks like both teams are getting equal strike zones. Nice first inning, Soup.

[Rob]

His pitch location was excellent. Even when he missed, he missed down and not by a ton.

[Trowekamp]

I am just worried about Lee / Ramirez.. I think if they intentionally walked both every time up they would sweep.. every time they lose it seems to be because of those two.

Exactly what I was thinking. Now the hitters must adjust. It could make for a quick game if he doesn't tighten it up

[phatmatt1215]

WTH was that Braun???????

[TeeJayh1980]

looks like good ol' Ned sure has our guys focused on this game! 2 whiffs by Fielder and Braun....nice

[B2k1121]

It's obvious they are trying too hard.

[BrewCrewForever]

This looks a lot like the Rich Hill that pitched against the Brewers at MP in April. And that aint good.

[JET15]

That's it, Mench, be the goat

I totally agree, Trow. They scare me plenty.

 

[phatmatt1215]

This is just SICKENING!!!!!

I don't think motivation is a problem. Everyone who's struck out so far has look *too* excited to be playing in this game. The guys need to relax, otherwise this won't end well.

 

[phatmatt1215]

At least we made and out which was NOT a strikeout. It's an improvement.

[Brewcrewin07]

C'mon guys, this is "one pitch Rich" out there and he is making you look ridiculous. I don't know if he hits much over 90 on the gun. CRUSH HIM!!!

[sheetsace]

well at least we put the ball in play twice that inning

[brewcrewnation]

at least we are not going to get no hit.

[thablingster]

All of these strikeouts will most assuredly get Rich Hill's pitch count up, at least.

[JET15]

Suppan is so deceptive with that whimpy windup and leg kick. It hardly looks like he's even trying. It's California cool. Maybe the batters should take that approach.

[Trowekamp]

Nice pitch selection for Suppan on Ramirez.. everything down and away except one way inside.. I will take my chances with the rest of the line up.

[BrewCrewForever]

Did someone say earlier that it will be Sheets tomorrow and Parra on Thursday?

[adambr2]

There are going to be a few balls leaving the ballpark tonight.

Not necessarily from our lineup, though, who look absolutely freaked out at the plate tonight.

[crewcrazy]

DOUBLE PLAY! Alright!

[JET15]

Did someone say earlier that it will be Sheets tomorrow and Parra on Thursday?

That's what they just said on FSN

That's what they just said on FSN

 

Are they bringing up Villenueva in case of a blister problem with Sheets or to start on Friday?

 

Edit: nevermind.. I see villy pitched tonight for Nashville.
