Braun
is giving Hanson a free Remetee.
"He had some firsts," said Brewers manager Ken Macha. "His first homer, his first Major League start, his first error and my first gray hair."
I see that
Parra had some more problems?
"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.
Not as bad as it looks

Why, what happened?
"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.
Chipper hit a one-handed HR off his back foot
And Manny only walked 2 guys.
And Chipper’s triple was 100% Cameron’s fault.

seriously
BK you have to watch that Chipper HR. The pitch was low and outside and he creamed it.
"He had some firsts," said Brewers manager Ken Macha. "His first homer, his first Major League start, his first error and my first gray hair."
Don't you normally hit home runs off your back foot?
"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.
it was front foot
absurd.
"He had some firsts," said Brewers manager Ken Macha. "His first homer, his first Major League start, his first error and my first gray hair."
This

Which of the two homers was is?

The 2nd

I thought it was a popout to medium center
Scored three times and detonated an indisputable in four visits to the batting box.
Yeah, I just watched it
So did Chip Caray. I can’t believe Chipper managed to pull it.
"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.
Either way, he was off balance
Dear Mr. Fleischmann,

Of course, one of those walks helped set up the Chipper HR
But Parra did pitch better today.

Oh, sorry for ripping off your joke in the first game thread
I was planning on being around to mention that.
"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.
Yeah, Mat on our side
"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.
It's not a Brewers-Braves series
Unless Matt Diaz suffers bodily harm.

"He had some firsts," said Brewers manager Ken Macha. "His first homer, his first Major League start, his first error and my first gray hair."
Bill Hall
wondering when it is Mothers Day again so he can get another start
"He had some firsts," said Brewers manager Ken Macha. "His first homer, his first Major League start, his first error and my first gray hair."
I'd rather watch
Billy Madison in Korean than another Billy Hall at bat
"He had some firsts," said Brewers manager Ken Macha. "His first homer, his first Major League start, his first error and my first gray hair."

Do we have a good nickname for Gamel yet?
I like Mat the Batt, but that’s all in the spelling and not something you can call him when you’re shouting in approval after a HR.
I don’t like Mat The Batt.
There’s already Pat The Bat

That's the point, with the spelling serving to make an extra joke about Mat's first name
"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.
Yeah, but it kinda comes off as rip-offish

After any homer? BAM! POW! WHAP!
“Holy double play Batt Gam!”
“Hall struggling? Turn on the BattGam signal”
“He’ll get out of this jam with his handy BaseStealing repellent”
mat grumble
as he is as incoherent as fielder in an interview

I'm not saying he's amazing
I’m not even saying he’s above average, but he is hitting better then the average of another 3rd baseman
Reds tied the Cubs
"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.
good day so far
"He had some firsts," said Brewers manager Ken Macha. "His first homer, his first Major League start, his first error and my first gray hair."
I have a friend
Who suggested Gamel the Camel. It made no sense.
Another friend said Game Cube, which doesn’t make sense other than it sounds awesome (he cited “The Matrix” for Shawn Marion as some sort of inspiration)
You slapped said friend right?
;)
Let me spell it for you Cub fans O N E H U N D R E D A N D O N E Y E A R S
Better than Gamel the Bactrian
We don’t want him to be endangered.
"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.
Wow, O'Flaherty for the third straight game.
Too bad I already wasted the Intersweep joke before the game.
Looks like the Mets did not appreciate losing to the Nats yesterday
Up 6-0 in 8th

Parra had an RBI double?

- P. Fielder singled to deep center
Did that almost go out?
"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.
yes
off right field warning track

the Cubs...
i really… just really hate them. everything about em just sickens me…

I've begun to dislike the Cardinals more, tbh

im not a fan of the cards either
but the cubs as a franchise, their FIB fans, their EXTREMELY biased commentary (yeah its their network but still…)
::Personally, I think we got hosed on that call:: Uecker
True
But the Cubs players are far less obnoxious than the Cardinals players (except Big Z), and with the whole untucking whining the Cardinals fans are starting to be just as bad as the Cubs fans.

im assuming
that you heard Z’s whine rant about how he misses all these mothers days and his kids growing up? thats the price you pay for making MILLIONS playing a GAME for a living!
::Personally, I think we got hosed on that call:: Uecker
Was he really whining?
They asked if he wants to target 300 wins, and he just said he’s got other aspirations than still slogging through the baseball grind in so many years.
They have had
Some hilariously bad losses this week, so my venom is slightly subdued for the moment. Today could be another walk-off loss.
I enjoy having both the Cards and Cubs to hate
Let them have there famous rivalry, let their players and announcers knock the Crew, mock the celebrations and call for HBPs, while the Crew rolls over them on the way to better things. No better way to interject into that bitter feud by taking both on and not flinching
Damn
"He had some firsts," said Brewers manager Ken Macha. "His first homer, his first Major League start, his first error and my first gray hair."
(Uecker: “Well, this game is gonna beeee….a one-run affair, as McCann doubles home Prado.” Heart attack barely averted.)
Sigh
I absolutely do not want to turn this into a Uecker discussion, but I heard one on the radio the other day about his slipping abilities. I feel like he has ALWAYS made bad judgment calls like this, and that it’s not a deteriorating condition. People seem to think that’s a sign of him getting worse. I think there are countless signs he’s getting worse, but that’s not one of them.
Fuck

Nice talk at the mound

In a weird way...
I approve of Parra not being in line for the win anymore. Now let’s win this game anyway!

This went down hill in a hurry
"He had some firsts," said Brewers manager Ken Macha. "His first homer, his first Major League start, his first error and my first gray hair."
Can someone explain to me
Why Macha decides to use a guy 3 days in a row when he can use others?
Ring Out Ahoya!
Was wondering the same thing
My dislike of Macha keeps growing
Plus 3 days in a row against the same team think they might be figuring Carlos out

Geez
Both catchers have a stolen base today. Only one of them after being hit in the foot though.
