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

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!

by SgtClueLs on May 25, 2008 12:05 PM CDT up reply actions  

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.

by Braunstalker on May 25, 2008 12:27 PM CDT reply actions  

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.

Elective Surgery

Can you go on the DL due to elective surgery?

by SgtClueLs on May 25, 2008 12:37 PM CDT up reply actions  

I can't remember

if Jeter got time for his sex change or not.

by Braunstalker on May 25, 2008 12:48 PM CDT up reply actions  

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.

I heard it's 14

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

by Jordan M on May 25, 2008 12:54 PM CDT up reply actions  

Yep!

Looks right according to that last replay of the WP.

by SgtClueLs on May 25, 2008 12:56 PM CDT up reply actions  

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.

by magoo on May 25, 2008 12:58 PM CDT reply actions  

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?

Did you see that Billy?

Proper 3B coverage.

Nice to have you back Russell.

In other games

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

Turns out they were his first of the season. Replay of his first shows Mister tight pants bunny hop fearing the wall and not looking good.

Shop the Pig!

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.

Link to his CL Ad. Work Safe questionable

I used to work with Jerry

Anyone know the rule?

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

by Lake County on May 25, 2008 1:45 PM CDT reply actions  

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

by ol Pete on May 25, 2008 2:33 PM CDT reply actions  

Dillon with a pitching wedge to score Branyan

by ol Pete on May 25, 2008 2:39 PM CDT up reply actions  

Weeks hit in shoulder, I thought it was the head at first

by ol Pete on May 25, 2008 2:41 PM CDT up reply actions  

Cam with a two run double! Sends a slider down the left field line.

Single by Gabe – TIE GAME

Mike Hammerin'

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

Probably temporary

The Wallbangers won because they played the game like kids! Let's do that again!!!

I thought that was out

Way to go me, ignore the bat sound, and hope.

the obnoxious fan who has been yelling all game

finally shuts up. I hope its because he was tasered by security

by ol Pete on May 25, 2008 3:00 PM CDT reply actions  

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

He's extremely quick and good.

by battlekow on May 25, 2008 3:02 PM CDT reply actions  

Wow

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

by oconnobe on May 25, 2008 3:08 PM CDT reply actions  

Best attendance for Washington since Opening Day

The Brewers are a national force.

He's extremely quick and good.

lots of fans in the stands – yesterday they talked about fans following them through the road trip ala deadheads

by ol Pete on May 25, 2008 3:10 PM CDT up reply actions  

I love it

I haven’t seen the catch yet. Now I can just wait.

He's extremely quick and good.

Wow

battlekow, get ready for web gem #2!

Haha

Nice, thanks.

He's extremely quick and good.

The Nats broadcasters are saying Dillard is throwing 96

That would surprise me greatly.

He's extremely quick and good.

gameday says it was a strike, but Josh says gameday is like a bad girlfriend

Braun's line through his first 162 career games

.311/.352/.611, 47 HR.

He's extremely quick and good.

by battlekow on May 25, 2008 3:23 PM CDT reply actions  

Jesus..

Come on guys.. that was horrible.. gave up 2 runs with 2 WP’s. Rivera’d?

by SgtClueLs on May 25, 2008 3:47 PM CDT reply actions  

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

by heybatterbatter on May 25, 2008 3:50 PM CDT up reply actions  

At least

Goddamnit!!!!!!!!!!!!

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh-
There goes the chances for a .500 road trip.
Goddamnit!
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?
