PrintI'd like to start counting additional Brewers runs toward future games.
Instead, let's just put additional comments in this thread.

powell
just said that munson is the backup to rottino in AAA, odd that he almost made the mlb team
"If there is a more reactionary blog with idiotic commentary out there I'd be surprised." -On Bleed Cubbie Blue
Yeah
But they want Rottino to focus on catching so that's why he's getting the bulk of the starts behind the plate.

A new thread, eh?
I don't like this newfangled technology!
(It's amazing how traffic everywhere seems to have spiked. Even Bucs Dugout which last season got almost no traffic in game threads has a lot so far.)

so, when it's not against us, does roguejim still fly the flag?
Also, cheese.
by Jeff Sackmann on Apr 4, 2008 3:51 PM CDT up reply actions
Yeah. And they'll have to come over here, find the flag, and then post a lengthy diatribe about how we're fixated on the Cubs.
Makes total sense to me.

That's a good question
Maybe I should go to the other BCB and ask.
On second thought...

you're hardly alone there
I don't think anybody was expects (or even expects at this point) many games like this one from him.

i hope
yost leaves braun in to play left....let him learn out there
"If there is a more reactionary blog with idiotic commentary out there I'd be surprised." -On Bleed Cubbie Blue
I could be wrong about this but
I don't think they have anyone they could put out there, except Gimpy Gwynn.
i suppose councell could do it :)
"If there is a more reactionary blog with idiotic commentary out there I'd be surprised." -On Bleed Cubbie Blue
guess not
unless you give Counsell a try in left. (which seems silly)
Also, cheese.

some solid bench options
I know that Gwynn can't play, but the two guys on the bench are hitting 1.000 and .571.
Also, cheese.
Bench options
And Dillon was hitting 1.000 when he came off the bench, too.
Brewers fan lost in South Carolina.
i wonder
what sheets is reading
"If there is a more reactionary blog with idiotic commentary out there I'd be surprised." -On Bleed Cubbie Blue
It looked like Hall had a media guide earlier
So maybe one of those, trying to find the last time they beat up another team so handily.

hey now, put that away
this is a family site during non-cub games

I hope Bocock sticks in the majors
can't beat the comic relief.
Also, cheese.

wow, steve holm
I was wondering if he'd get in a game before the giants found somebody better.
Also, cheese.
Ugh
The FSN post-game is talking about the great approach the Brewers had at the plate for the entire game.
Ummm...I don't think so. After the 4th inning, maybe.
"I will agree that the attitude [at BCB] is ridiculous and they have done so much to instigate animosity and then block us from responding. Real mature!"
They're "preparing"
you know, it needs a lot of preparation. Like one of Rock's cornish hens.
"I will agree that the attitude [at BCB] is ridiculous and they have done so much to instigate animosity and then block us from responding. Real mature!"
come on billy
3 homeruns!
"If there is a more reactionary blog with idiotic commentary out there I'd be surprised." -On Bleed Cubbie Blue
900 runs scored for Kendall
That's a big game.

Back-to-back days
This could get interesting yet.

I think Ned is doing it on purpose
just to cheese us off. Damn you, Ned!
"I will agree that the attitude [at BCB] is ridiculous and they have done so much to instigate animosity and then block us from responding. Real mature!"
crabbe man
Callix Crabbe made his major league debut yesterday. He pinch hit and flew out.
Also, cheese.
Torres on the mound
looking for a save
"I will agree that the attitude [at BCB] is ridiculous and they have done so much to instigate animosity and then block us from responding. Real mature!"
that'd be great
if Riske and Torres both got saves before Gagne did.
Also, cheese.

It's easier...
If you just make yourself a superstar.

Not that I think badly of Miller Park official scorers...
But I wouldn't be too surprised if the home run he gave up means he didn't pitch effectively enough to get the save.
Obscure baseball records and more at my blog, Recondite Baseball.
isn't it automatic?
I thought it was, but I'll defer to you on this one.
Also, cheese.

Save
The official scorer shall credit a pitcher with a save when such pitcher meets all four of the following conditions:
(1) He is the finishing pitcher in a game won by his team;
(2) He is not the winning pitcher;
(3) He is credited with at least a third of an inning pitched; and
(4) He satisfies one of the following conditions:
(a) He enters the game with a lead of no more than three runs and pitches at least one inning;
(b) He enters the game, regardless of the count, with the potential tying run either on base, or at bat or on deck; or
(c) He pitches for at least three innings.
From Wikipedia, I believe lifted from MLB rules
Brewers fan lost in South Carolina.
Ah, yeah
They changed Rule 10.19 now. It used to say "He pitches 'effectively' for at least three innings."
Obscure baseball records and more at my blog, Recondite Baseball.
It didn't used to be
Maybe they changed it now after Jae Seo got robbed of a save that way a year or two ago. Some of the media guides haven't been updated if that is the case.

Turnbow
Are they warming him up if Torres implodes or something, or is Ned just messing with us now.
Maybe it was in case Torres' spot in the lineup came up
You never know.
Obscure baseball records and more at my blog, Recondite Baseball.
My guess
Ned was about to call in Turnbow, until Mark A. started giving him the stink eye.
"I will agree that the attitude [at BCB] is ridiculous and they have done so much to instigate animosity and then block us from responding. Real mature!"
A win!
"I will agree that the attitude [at BCB] is ridiculous and they have done so much to instigate animosity and then block us from responding. Real mature!"
Can't say I'd blame him
After the camera moved back to the booth, if you listen close, you can hear him telling her, "perhaps you've seen me in the Time Warner commercials."

prince certainly giving trenni the eye

Craig Coshun says
it was rare to see multi-home run games from Bill Hall last season.
Good analysis, Craig.

Someone who doesn't pay attention to box scores
Is going to start looking at who has Saves for the Brewers and will think that we're going with a Closer by Committee.
That begs to be made into a UR DOIN IT WRONG macro.
Well, this was a fun day to blog over here. The Giants get their asses kicked in too many times, but at least we had some good hosts on this blog to laugh with and make penis jokes with. You guys are pretty cool.
Democracy is lovely but baseball is more mature. BVCE supports Manny Burriss and SF Dugout.

Penis jokes? What penis jokes?
Oh. Those penis jokes.
Thanks for stopping by --- hope to see you tomorrow!

Do me a favor...

I'd have to agree Baron
(of course I'm late to the party after having to work tonight) You guys are a lot better than most others. Of course, we've only had Dodger fans to fratenize with and that's not allowed. When the dodgers score runs they rip angels wings off.
