know that. Still, it's pretty frustrating to watch him kill rallies. I know it's not his fault he doesn't walk, he doesn't have the mindset to do so, that's fine. I still cannot stand to watch him take an AB. Let him go down and expand the zone hitting 8th. He's kind of a great example of a guy that had numbers better than what he really is. He's a AVG only hitter, and I suppose that looks alright in a box score when he's in Arizona, but the guy hits like it's tee-ball.

Couldn't agree with you more. But I don't think 8th is that good of a spot for him. He would never see a strike and still have a hard time walking.

 

# 7 I think is his perfect spot.

What makes NEd think this guy is 5 hole hitter?

 

He's a "gritty, scrappy" catcher that reminds Ned of someone a few years ago.

[PeaveyFury]

Yeah, at this point in the season, I don't see a big difference between Estrada and Mike Rivera.

 

Rivera is hitting .242/.295/.485 in Nashville. He's Johnny Estrada, but one level lower on the spectrum.

Dodgers lead the Pirates 3-0 in the top of the 7th.

 

No No for Lowe through 6.

Let's see if Marquis punches Barrett after that passed ball 3rd strike. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/laugh.gif

[PeaveyFury]

Billy, take a few pitches here before you ground into the DP, please.

 

Or before you hit a ball that Jaque Jones misplays worse than Alex Sanchez.

[lumberrule]

Why cant Billy do that EVERY TIME he is up at the plate?

[Ennder]

Nice to see Hall hit one hard AND in the air. Seems like everything is pulled on the ground.

[RyDogg66]

Hall breaking through, he has been torching the ball all homestand, just right at guys.

[fondybrewfan]

Sweet

 

I wish there were more spaces in the chat room

[bucks2281]

A very nice AB by Billy...it looks like Jones slipped a tad on the track, preventing him from making the catch.

[fondybrewfan]

Please dont strike out

You jinxed it!

[xisxisxis]

Well I musta jinxed him. Sanchez singles with no out in 7th.

[lumberrule]

The Brewers simply cannot screw this inning up if they want to win this game.

[RyDogg66]

Bush shouldnt even take the bat off his shoulder.

[JET15]

Can we please take advantage of the loaded bases? Is it too much to ask?

[fondybrewfan]

Bush will get an RBI here, I guarantee it

[RyDogg66]

Hooray for sucking!

[B2k1121]

I think everyone knew the double play at home was coming too.

[PeaveyFury]

Unreal.

[xisxisxis]

Now this is the Jason Marquis I remember, not the sub 3 era imposter.... let's get a ton of runs for when Bush melts down and Nedly leaves him in 1 batter too many....

[bucks2281]

You absolutely, positively have to be kidding me.

[fondybrewfan]

Great

[crewcrazy]

Dang it Bush...if you were going to GIDP, at least go for a 6-4-3 that could score a run.
