Brewers game chatter

« Uh... Ok | Main | Tidbits from Baseball Prospectus »

It's the Brewers today as Jeff Suppan and Ben Sheets square off. Sheets is 4-8 with a 4.41 ERA in 15 career starts against the Cardinals over his career. Suppan is 7-2 with a 4.71 ERA over 10 starts against the Brewers.

The Cards are 3-4 on the season while the Brewers are 5-3.

I'll admit I don't read any Brewers blogs so I have nowhere to send you, but you can always stay here and chat away below.

Larry Walker, center fielder.

Okay, okay, which one's funnier?

Ugh, what's Albert doing swinging on 3-0?

Nice play, Grudz.

Eckstein's 8th inning walk off Sheets was a work of art.

Albert's gonna get MAD now... Two strikeouts??!?? In consecutive at-bats??? Albert needs to channel his rage and frustration into his bat.

Soup pitching a helluva game. Generous strike zone is helping, but he's keeping the ball down, working both sides of the plate, and (without checking the numbers) the Brewers seems to be taking a lot of first-pitch strikes...

Tony sucks.

Suppan has faced the minimum going back to the 2nd inning, and now, with 1 out, and a complete-game shutout in the works, he walks a guy on a 3-2 pitch (he's at 101 for the game) and Tony has to yank him to bring in the erratic closer.

Izzy is going to allow the first batter he faces to reach, of course, then he'll wriggle out of it for a cheap save...

Reallll nice outing by Izzy...strikes two and three to Lee to end the game were great pitches---seemingly out over the plate, then tailing late off the outer edge...that's two straight good outings by D"Izzy.

Tony, the Genius, pushing all the right buttons.

We win, and I'm happy.

Isringhausen's curveball is certainly back. I saw it cross the plate maybe five times last year.
