Game Thread #50: Brewers (23-26) at Nationals (21-29)

in Game Threads
This team is looking more different every day. Just about every pitcher on the 40-man roster is either on the DL or in the big league bullpen, and we've got Russell the Muscle back on the bench. What next--the Milwaukee debut of the Crabbe-man?
Game time today is 12:35 CT, and here's the BR Game Preview. It's Tim Redding vs. Manny Parra, who is down to a 4.40 ERA on the heels of a couple of solid outings. Redding is actually pitching considerably better--he even blanked the Phillies for 6.1 last time out.
Go Brewers!

Sunday Lineup
Guess even though it’s a holiday weekend we’ll still roll otu the Sunday line up. Hopefully 3TO can go deep on this!

Sick..
According to Brewers Live he’s under the weather. Maybe he went out and partied his 1 year!

I know I am the only one
pumped about 3TO, but I think Hall is just having a fire lit under him; so unless Branyan crushes it, I think it will be short lived.

Seriously I think he should consider having Lasik done during the ASB
Hall that is. He really seems to have a lot of trouble identifying strikes so far.

How long is the recovery?
I wish he would. I know he can hit.

Elective Surgery
Can you go on the DL due to elective surgery?

Probably
It’s a perverse way to think about it but Doug Davis did.

Tommy John is an "elective" surgery
Just ask Chris Capuano.
He's extremely quick and good.

Branyan
I wonder what number he’s wearing. Dave Bush has his number from his last Brewers go-round and Gabe Kapler has his other “usual” number.

Whenever prince is at first, he should charge the mound and yell "MEAT!"

bad luck
not a bad inning for Parra though. 12 strikes, 2 balls. The first ball he threw(that didn’t get swung at) was the wp.

This at-bat
will either end in a strikeout, walk, or homerun. You can put money on it.

Through 1 AB
Branyan is hitting righties over six times better than Hall.

Nationals' injuries
If the Brewers had as many injuries as the Nationals do, would there be grumbling among fans about Yost’s warm-up program for the team?

The Pirates just hit their 3rd homer of the game. They still are down 4-3 though.

I’m sure everyone knows the Tailgate Tips from Jerry Garcia.
Well apparently he’s trying to get more then just tips in his recent Craigs List posting.

Anyone know the rule?
What’s the actual rule regarding when the ump comes out to break up a mound meeting?

I wonder how long it takes for a guy like DiFelice to warm up
It was last inning where he was up.

Ten pitch at bat and Corey starts the rally with a 2 run HR
Now Branyan with a non-3TO single again which he stretches to a double

At least we don’t have to complain the #2 hitter is hitting poorly anymore.

the obnoxious fan who has been yelling all game

Brewers are last in MLB in walks
It’s harder to like a team that doesn’t even conform to the style of baseball you like

Wow
Got lucky there … Dillard can’t find the zone, and they hit and run.

Why not look to the first five innings
where, once again, the Crew can’t move runners on base? Every loss seems to feature this.
PB does not equal a WP. Pitchers get the “credit” for WPs

Would the Brewers have won if Gagne wasn’t hurt?
Two runs on wild pitches:
Would the Brewers have won if Kendall was in the game?
