07/23/07 Brewers (Capuano) @ Reds (Harang) 6:05pm CT

[PrinceFielder28]

123 nice inning dbow

[bobskube]

This either will be an absolute heartbreaker or a huge win that could give the team tremendous confidence.

[crewcrazy]

Wow...I love it when Turnbow proves my worries wrong. Let's win this thing already and pick up a free .5 of a game on the Cubs.

[PrinceFielder28]

Wow the our 5-8 hitters are 0-13 with 4 k's

[PeaveyFury]

Jenkins sure has been back to his flailing at crap in the dirt ways all night here.

[DHonks]

good to see Harang out there again. He's a heck of a pitcher, and amazingly is likely the best of the A's young studs. Who did they trade him for, again?

[Team Canada]

Hopefully the Reds will regret letting Harang come back out.

[DHonks]

And he's officially in the .250s. At his pace, he could be .240's soon

[Team Canada]

Did Jim just say "Mench with pretty good speed out there at second"??

[mikevan1818]

damn gameday: for graffy it said: In play, no out

[PeaveyFury]

Jeez Graffy, he hangs you a slider on the first pitch and you pop into the IF fly rule.... ugh.

[PeaveyFury]

A couple of ugly K's for Hart as well.

Jul 30, 2003: Oakland Athletics traded Aaron Harang, Jeff Bruksch and Joe Valentine to the Cincinnati Reds for Jose Guillen.

 

Crap...Hart K's again.

The longer this game goes, the worse I feel about this game...http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/frown.gif .

[bobskube]

.211 with RISP with two outs this year. Imagine they could just hit .250.

[Bruce Ciskie]

It sure is nice to have solid veterans like Graffanino on the bench. You gotta love being able to call on them in key situations to give you quality at-bats. They'd certainly never take a fifth-grade swing at a hanging slider to ruin a promising inning. Nah. Never.

[rluzinski]

That's a very poor analogy, as the best hitters aren't going to get a hit 50% of the time.

 

Make it rolling a 1 or 2 on a 6 sided die if it makes you feel better but it's such a small sample, it doesn't even matter.

Put it this way Russ: Mench is 5 for 7 against Harang with, say, runners at the corners in a 1-1 game in the 9th, while Estrada is 1 for 7 in his career vs. Harang. You're telling me you wouldn't prefer for Mench to hit there?

 

Both players have logged hundreds of major league AB. I'd look at their career stats and if the samples are large enough, their splits against RH pitchers.

Until you show something to actually back that up, it's simply your opinion, and not fact.

 

I didn't make up the laws of statistics. I've explained this stuff a million times on these boards. If you don't understand it by now, I'm either a very poor teacher (I'm not ruling that out) or you just don't care. Either way, I'd be wasting my time.

 

Buy a used stats 101 text book or google "sample size".

[bucks2281]

Wow, that was a cruel camera angle. I thought that was gone for sure.

[rluzinski]

Why the heck did the camera man have to scare the crap out of me by making that look like a 500 ft moonshot!?

[Vgmastr]

Hey Johnny, high fastball is not what you should be calling with Wise on the mound. That was WAY too close.

[BrewCrewForever]

That totally looked gone. I had flashbacks to when Turnbow gave up the game winner in Philly.

[rluzinski]

These are the kind of games that are very satisfying when you win and leaves a very bad taste in your mouth when you lose.

[TauPentaRei]

What is the opposite of "Everyday Eddie" Guardado?

 

 

How about:

 

"Once-a-Week" Wise?

[BREWCREW5]

thattaboy wise. get some. win the game here boys!

[Vgmastr]

All right, we finally get into that Reds bullpen, with Hardy, Braun, and Fielder up no less. Can we please get a run?
