Right
But if Clung has to be pinch hit for after the 4th, that’s a lot of innings to give to DiFelice, Julio and Stetter.
"The reports are that he is getting better. The definition of better is nebulous."
So let him hit
Maybe he could bunt Kendall over.

Counsell's glove looks new
Where’s Vinny Rottino?

I'm thinking that Jay Bruce likes McClung's fastball
"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.
Kendall got hit on that backswing
"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.
Fitting.
On the night Star Trek comes out, Son of Clung beams himself out of a jam.

You, sir, are the king of puns
Which also puts you on the list of things that make me happy
"If lovin’ Braun is wrong, I want to be a repeat offender!"
RIP Nick Adenhart: Stop Drunk Driving
I'm not sure that was a pun.
But it would have been if I had said Son of Clung Trekked in from the bullpen.
"The reports are that he is getting better. The definition of better is nebulous."
rec'd
just because i am watching some deleted scenes of the motion picture right now
"si si Peeedro"
It's telling that "Kendall now 4-11 on the road trip" is said with shock
"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.
Wow, you're kidding me
Come on, Jason.

Nix doubling is getting pretty annoying
"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.
The lack of win in this game is beginning to bore me
"If lovin’ Braun is wrong, I want to be a repeat offender!"
RIP Nick Adenhart: Stop Drunk Driving
It could be worse...
the RSox have scored 9 runs in the 6th inn have 2 on and nobody is out.
The Indians were leading 2-1.
How do you figure she's married?

the camera
stayed on her for about 5 minutes and she was talking on her cell. Nice ring on the hand.
Ahh, okay
I thought maybe Quagmire had developed a new spidey sense

RIP Nick Adenhart: Stop Drunk Driving
Please let this inning go well
Please please please
"If lovin’ Braun is wrong, I want to be a repeat offender!"
RIP Nick Adenhart: Stop Drunk Driving
Please no GIDP
"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.
JJ!
Nice!
"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.
Slowly but surely!
The key is to remember no matter what happens, we’re facing red’s pitching the rest of this game
I just got here
what happened to Billy?
"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."
Double-switched out
"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.
Double-switched out in the 4th inning
I still don’t get why Macha wouldn’t let McClung hit in the bottom of the inning.
Obscure baseball records and more at my blog, Recondite Baseball.
He still hurting?
"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 don't think so
He just happened to make the last out in the top of the 4th. That will probably be cited as a reason though.
Obscure baseball records and more at my blog, Recondite Baseball.
Did you see this?
"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.
so this is what it's like when worlds collide
"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."
"As of 1 p.m. CT on Thursday, there were still a very limited number of tickets still available to the game."
yes, 50,000 IS a limited number, now that you mention it.
So weird
that four Packers players are so involved. They’ve made a couple of Fox 6 appearances and made a commercial or video.
Ueck says Bob Melvin is getting fired today.
"The reports are that he is getting better. The definition of better is nebulous."
Daron Sutton is behind it
"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.
Daron Sutton managing the D-Backs?
"The reports are that he is getting better. The definition of better is nebulous."
No, he was openly critical of Melvin's managing when the D'backs were in Milwaukee
"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.
They can get the runs from Joey Votto or Brandon Phillips
"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.
Over at
AZ Snake pit are discussing the options but there does not seem to be any concensus on who it should be.
Robin Yount's managerial debut?
"The reports are that he is getting better. The definition of better is nebulous."
Seems to be that Kirk Gibson,Brett Butler and Mark Grace are all options
Somehow I think that Grace is not that likely.
Kendall dips farther below the Hardy line

God I hate that guy
"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."
During which he's hitting a massive .333
"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.
Is it just me
It seems like during the last week or so, the heart of our lineup has been producing runs a significant portion of the times they come up. I like this.
Aside from these big innings though, I feel like they're being more productive at manufacturing runs
Cam does have two RBI bleeders today
"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.
Owings had -.148 WPA batting and +.116 hitting
"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.
Er, change "batting" to "pitching", obviously
"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.
BA tells me all I need to know about the impact of a HR here

I'm watching on gameday
would it tie it up?
"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."
Nice take, Rickie
"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.
Not so much there
"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.
Damn
Needed a little Cecil Cooper action there.
"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.
...
Is it that obvious?
"The reports are that he is getting better. The definition of better is nebulous."
Need some slump-buster rally cleavage?
"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.
"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.
And no title I see?
I’m fine with rally cleavage, but I think it’d be courtesy to post pictures with a title. There are people who are at work/parents’ houses/etc where this might not be the best thing.

well...
there are actually a relatively equal blend of women and men here today…
or at least more so than usual….
Lefty, right, lefty to start the inning though
Obscure baseball records and more at my blog, Recondite Baseball.
Macha probably didn't want him to face Bruce
"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.
My gameday is freaking out.
What’s going on?
It's not Kendall
so giving up a free base is not ok in my book
"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'm gonna laugh if the guy on deck gets beaned by a foul ball
"If lovin’ Braun is wrong, I want to be a repeat offender!"
RIP Nick Adenhart: Stop Drunk Driving
No you aren't, because it would almost kill him
Remember Juan Encarnacion?
"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.
now that would be funny
"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 suppose that'd be better than the alternative
but that’s still uncomfortable

One the scoreboard at Miller Park
they used to show a play where a guy leaned back on a bender and took it off the junk. I miss that.
I think it was Craig Monroe
If this is what you’re thinking of.

OK, 3-4-5 due up, down by one.
I think we all know what’s needed here.

Weren't you listening to Rock?
Only if the Brewers complain apparently

Awesome at-bat, Ryan
"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.
BA just said
that the Reds put Coffey and Villy up on the kiss cam and Coffey laid a big one on Villy’s cheek.
He's really high on my list
He’s really been frank during interviews and I like that. He was no holds barred about how crappy Shea is and made some really funny remarks about being Hoffman’s puppy dog yesterday.
And botch tots
"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.
Because he can
Kow has this way about him… =P

Yes, please
Leave Rhodes in to face Cameron.
"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.
That looked like strike 3
"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.
That did not, Mike
"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.
Fielder seems alot more patient this year
If he gets to 3-0 it feels like he is almost never swinging at the next pitch
Arthur Rhodes is over a year younger than Brian Shouse
Obscure baseball records and more at my blog, Recondite Baseball.
Ok, if you want to second guess Macha tonight:
If not for the double switch, Bill Hall would be on deck.
"The reports are that he is getting better. The definition of better is nebulous."
Man
Those were some ugly strikeouts.
"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.
Hardy always does that
Cameron, I have no idea.
"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.
I still wish hall was in
This would have been the perfect setup for him to add to his legacy. Instead, we had a stupid double switch in the 4th inning, which also leaves us with Corporan and Nelson as Pinch Hitters.
You want to see Hall face Cordero's slider?
I don’t.
"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.
That doesn't make the double switch any less strange
Unless Hall really is hurt.

although Macha may have forgotten that Rivera was injured..
he doesn’t remember that he exists to begin with
Macha doesn't remember/know much about the Brewers

but what’s goin on with the veiny head thing?

be careful what you wish for
what I wouldn’t give for one of those pictures to be able to break out!
What about this one?

Ok, Brad Nelson is very much due.
"The reports are that he is getting better. The definition of better is nebulous."
George Nelson
Close though
"If lovin’ Braun is wrong, I want to be a repeat offender!"
RIP Nick Adenhart: Stop Drunk Driving
He's also the only guy on the bench with any power
Obscure baseball records and more at my blog, Recondite Baseball.
fat lot of good power has done his fat ass thusfar
I’d take a single to start it off, so kendall can bunt him over.
When the alternative is Casey McGehee?
No.
"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.
Haha, oh man
You’re kidding.
"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.
Close.
Or, at least Ueck made it sound close.
"The reports are that he is getting better. The definition of better is nebulous."
That's how you know it's just not your year
Obscure baseball records and more at my blog, Recondite Baseball.
I just screamed are you kidding me
But I’m not sure if it’s because I realized we pinched Nelson here or the almost a home run
If you're not going to use Nelson there, might as well DFA him
"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.
Jason Smith got DFA'd at 0 for 21
Nelson’s one AB away. At least he’s managed to get on base once.

Sad day

Rough loss
At least they got up off the mat a couple times.
