SBNation Coverage
So, obviously, Yovani Gallardo's performance yesterday was pretty impressive, but Jeff Suppan's performance tonight might have been even more surprising. Suppan allowed a home run to Felipe Lopez, the first batter he faced (that's not the surprising part), then went on to pitch 6.1 scoreless innings after that, allowing just six hits and no walks.
Even with Suppan's performance, though, the Brewers were down 1-0 in the seventh inning until a Rickie Weeks single drove in the tying run, a Prince Fielder bases loaded walk gave the Brewers the lead and Mike Cameron hit a two run double to give the Brewers a 4-1 lead. All told, the Brewers sent nine hitters to the plate against three pitchers in an inning that included three walks, two singles, a double and two wild pitches.
With the win, the Brewers finish April at 12-10, two games over .500 for the first time all season. They also will not be swept for the eighth consecutive series.

"That's not a weird stat. Rickie is a run-scorer," Yost said. "It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter," Yost told reporters. "See, you guys have no concept. He's a run-scorer. So there's nothing weird about it. That's what he does."
I like new Suppan.
Ever since we fed the old one to the dragon…

For those of you able to watch more baseball
Jeff Weaver is pitching for the Dodgers.
Suppan is still preferable.
Nice

Cubs losing is nice and all..
But I’d like to see the Cards put up some Ls
tied with the Nats
going into the 9th. Then, the Nats bullpen was who we thought they were
Behold the power of the Rally Julio
It's gettin' Uggla
Up in here.

I missed the initial Uggla-pun craze when he came up a couple years ago
I’ve always regretted it.

There was an ugly punk race?

I don’t know if I am the only person that feels this way, but I have a man crush on Mark DiFelice.

I'll admit
I read the Chicago Tribune after the Cubs lose… every time..
Schadenfreude thy name is TheBrouhaha lol

Is there anything better than those shots of dazed Cubs fans on a night like tonight
They all have that stunned deer in the SUV headlights look

Hanley Ramirez gained 25 pounds of muscle in the offseason?
That’s not only highly suspicious but borderline impossible

That was the number they used for Hart.
I find it unlikely, as well.

Yikes, wild night for the NL Central
After a walk and a double put the Cardinals ahead with one out, the Cardinals loaded the bases. Zimmerman tried to bare-hand a squibber down the line, but he missed the ball completely. It sat there as Thurston rounded third. The shortstop picked it up and threw home, but the catcher dropped for an error. A balk forces home another run, and a sac fly finished it off. The Cardinals scored five in the inning, and a close game becomes a rout.

Rewatching some key parts of the game on the Diamondbacks’ telecast; Daron Sutton called Suppan’s first two starts “tragic”.
"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.
"That one gets by Snyder"
“Goodness gracious!”
"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.
After Daron expressed surprise that Schoeneweis was left in the game to face right-handed Cameron
“Line drive, down the line it goes…Unbelievable.”
"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.
As Schoeneweis was being removed
“Since 2005, left-handed hitters hit .198 off Scott Schoeneweis. Right-handers hit one hundred and five points higher. Four to one.”
He sounded absolutely disgusted. I love it.
"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.
Heh, thanks for pointing that out.
I’d be disgusted too if that happened less than 5 minutes after I said (at the start of the Fielder AB): “This is why you signed Scott Schoeneweis this winter.”
you know its been a good day
when brauny is our lvp
