6/10/07 Brewers (Bush) @ Rangers (Padilla): 7:35 PM CDT

Jenkins and Estrada are having a dual contest...

a) See who can swing at the most first pitches, over head, in dirt, pitch out, pick off--no matter, these guys are taking this bet seriously. On the line--Jalisco's a burrit suizo.

 

b) See who can knock 100 points off their average in the last month,

 

Ridiculous.

Hey! A Braun error! Maybe he'll hit a HR next time he bats. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

Just how many starts does Bush get before we pull the plug? I realize he had a decent end to 06' but at what point does that run out? Is Yost watching last August's game film of him when he breaks film down?

[TauPentaRei]

hmmmm... 6 LOB through 3 innings.

 

We should definitely keep waiting for that 3 run homer.

[BrewCityUnit]

Has Bush really been that bad so far tonight? I think he has done a good job of throwing strikes and not letting things get out of hand after the way the game started.

[Kpanz20]

I just went to town on someone in my fantasy baseball league because they traded JJ Hardy for Michael Young...it looks like i will be eating my words on that one.

[jloos19]

Sweet, we have 2 more runners we can strand for the 4th straight inning!

 

EDIT: Not surprisingly, I was right. Good night, folks.

[Kpanz20]

Powell is giving Sosa the business about how small he looks now. How can Sosa have any self respect? Does he think people don't notice he lost 40 pounds?

[RockCoCougars]

Gotta hand it to these guys, they are great hitting with two outs and nobody on!

 

Too bad they are terrible with two outs and guys on base. Or none or one outs with guys on base for that matter.

[madjeff66]

Hard to generate much when you can't start until 2 outs.

[BrewCityUnit]

At least we haven't grounded into a double play yet tonight.

[thablingster]

We are on pace to strand 18 runners, which would be a hilarious sign of ineptitude. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/frown.gif

4 innings and 8 left on for the Crew. Ironically, Graffy and Counsell have become our 2 most consistent hitters.

I have a hard time placing a lot of blame on Bush tonight. The offense has left 8 guys on base over 4 innings and have failed to score a run.

[BrewCityUnit]

Good inning Bush. I have a feeling the Crew is going to put up a 7 spot this inning.

[RyDogg66]

How is Bush's pitching to blame for bunt singles, errors, and seeing-eye singles?

[RyDogg66]

We can still score runs via the HR. Thank goodness.

[BrewCityUnit]

5 more to go!

[yfinn6]

Prince!

 

Anyone watching this game on tv (if possible even)? It'd be nice to know how far that baby went.

[MoneyballMan]

Wow, from where the little dot was in "Gameday" it looks like Fielder absolutely crushed that home run - anyone see it?

[badgerfan.tgf]

Just out of curiosity, before tonight, does anyone know the last time Prince hit a HR that was not a solo shot?

[jason21nl]

Prince is so good. Glad to have him wearing a Brewers uni.

[whynotthebrewers]

He really got that one! 2-0 right down the middle and it hit the grass half way up in center. The announcers said that Prince knows what to do with a pitch like that.

[jloos19]

Prince hit a 2 run homer just on Wednesday against the Cubs.

[SlideBernieSlide]

Yeah. I'm not going to throw Bush under the bus tonight either. He's throwing well. Pounding the strike zone. Mixing it well. Sometimes I just think he needs to throw like 15 extra pitches in the pen or maybe 15 less...something to help with those 1st innings.

 

How about that Prince guy?
