7 out of 9 are left handed hitters (counting Francis, and I do). So Know Your Lefty Reliever:

51  	Shouse, Brian  	RP  	L  	L  	5-11  	196  	9/26/68  	Effingham, IL  	15

the Brewers have used him as just a LOOGY but also have extended him some, as he’s pitched 2 full innings, 2 of his last 3 appearances

does anyone have faith in these guys firing Hurdle some time this year? :

Walks him. Argh.

..in the 1st before he settles down instead of 4 or 5.

an out

with a single. An out, Jeffrey. Get one.

Come on Jeff, everybody wants to see you get an out.

....use ERP!

an RBI single.

not an out yet

But out at third.

Pods and Garrett got him that one. Settle DOWN!

He doesn’t have enough movement or command to throw as slowly as he does

and wait for a pitch to sit on. Watching Francis this year is pretty excruciating.

steady diet of fastballs

and this is pretty much par for the course these days.

“1st inning continues to plague Franics”

Like 2 through 7 have been that good for Jeff

and out of the inning.

And I want tacos….....can I go to more then one taco bell?

Better not be two too many.

can’t lay off that pitch…..IN THE DIRT?

Don’t see that often. Last night AND tonight. And then Hawpe swings at the dirt.

Time for Francis to give it another go.

Sportsline shows he pitched the top and bottom of the first inning.

Was the crowd into the game? Was the Rockies to Brewers ratio of fans acceptable?

then four-pitch walks, will kill you every time. Sheesh, Jeffrey.

After getting the first two outs, get the third.

This is the fifth time CDI is batting sixth in the lineup this season, in 27 starts, while Yorvit’s never hit higher than seventh. I wonder what Hurdles last hangup is.

Francis helps out in the way he’s supposed to.

I thought we were the only team allowed to give up hits to the opposing pitcher.

Come on Seth.

Unabashed Borat quote.

Any hit here would be welcomed.

Both pitchers are over 50 pitches in the 2nd inning.

Todd!

and nothing. Wizard!

There’s the old Rockies that I know and love….I mean loved.

Smith hit it well, but right at Hardy, and Todd just missed getting a hold of a pitch he liked. Very frustrating.

Francis, what was that!!

2 pitches 2 outs

2 pitches, 2 outs.

3 outs. Love that patience

OK…Rant time: we win 4 in a row, with good pitching, timely hitting, and I actually thought we were on some kind of a good roll. That this was behind us. but back to no patience, terrible starting pitching, and no big hits when we have runners on.

That was disgusting.

doesn’t want to be outdone by Francis. We don’t want to see the Brewers pitcher do that.

Jeff….......

has been all too common this season.

where a few of those missed to Dillon.

Go Rockies!!!!

Suppan has now retired eight in a row. Bah.

please get on BASE? Thank you.

Finally, another hit.

Why are we using our BEST STARTER as a pinch-runner and not, you know, WILLY TAVERAS?!

This is your moment. Do something.

That was awful.

Atkins…....?

Zeouch.

VIZ SIGHTING1

if The Viz takes away innings from Bucky. Which will happen, of course.

Because that’s just how he rolls.

by two walks. A win-win plan.

The Viz does not allow a run. The big shock will be if we score another one.

is not working. Granted, that time Kapler helped a bit.

on third. How does he score?

but it’s Q followed by one of a not-so-appetizing combo.

of me just died.

He isn’t what we want to keep the game close. And as I type, Braun singles.

For shame.

to end eventually.

Just remember the team needs to win series, there’s no way they’re winning out this season. But they won their last two series and if that continues they’ll be in good shape.
