I've got a feeling Matt Wise won't be shutting up about that hit for a while.

[Klements Bratwurst]

Great Wise with a hit. Now the stats page will look all screwed up for the rest of the year.

 

Wise BA 1.000

Hart BA .307

 

Congrats Matty!

[ELCABALLO45]

Did Wise just single....?

[funkyplaidcoat]

so Wise is being scouted as a starting pitcher now?

[pretendastronaut]

Now Wise with a hit. I think Brewers pitchers have a collectively higher average than Gross this week.

[zzzmanwitz]

Does this boost Wise's trade value http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

[Fear The Chorizo]

If Manny doesn't get in this game, he's not going to pitch ever.

 

I agree - even with Wise hitting this inning, at least give Parra the 9th

 

-----------------

[Klements Bratwurst]

Wise for Dunn might be back on again!

[Menotti80]

even matt wise gets a hit...

LOL

[brewblue1]

Lineup scores 10 so far and make my earlier comment look foolish.

[SeriesFinale]

I've officially turned over to the SF-Cubs game...come on, Rally Giants

[Lil Dummy]

Ned is determined to burn up Wise for the weekend. I guess after the game they're going to announce they traded him to the Cubs or something.

[MadisonBrewerBlue]

lets save some runs for the giants

[Loopee]

What cruel irony to remove Matt Wise from the basepaths in such short order.

[SoCalBrewfan]

OK, hold on a minute here. What is Wise's role in the 'pen? I thought he was a setup guy to be used sparingly in holding leads in the sixth or seventh inning. Giving him 2 IP here means he's unavailable for at least one game, right? Huh?

[pretendastronaut]

At 10-1 isn't it time to start getting some of our backups in the game?

[jhart05]

Braun needs a hit here.

 

He's all the way down to .337.

[SoCalBrewfan]

With the Wise hit, every spot in the batting order has one....except cleanup.

 

Graffy/Counsell on base seven times with 5 RBI.

Actually, wouldn't it be more than a week, since Wise can only pitch one inning every 2-3 days?

[ELCABALLO45]

Well Braun decides we have had a little too much fun this inning.

[sheetswannabe]

Braun is horrible! Hes only batting .335 now! UGH! Move him to the 8 hole

[JohnBriggs12]

I would send down Weeks at this point before I'd send down Gross. Gross at least has the excuse of not seeing regular AB's most of the year.

 

Let Rickie get his stroke against AAA pitching and then bring him back.

[jhart05]

Parra up in the pen.

[Herm]

HIlarious the way baseball works.

 

Some days you start a couple of backups, get lambasted for lineup selection, get no hit by Verlander, and then get skewered further for lineup selection.

 

Some days you start a couple of backups, get lambasted for lineup selection, then Gwynn, Counsell, Graffanino, and Gross go 7-15 with 6 runs, 8 RBIs, and 3 BB, and people/press quiet down.

 

Wow.

[sheetswannabe]

I would be fine with Rickie down, Rottino up for maybe a week or so.
