5/15/07 Brewers (Vargas) @ Phillies (Eaton): 6:05 PM CDT

Now that its 3-2, and Spurling just threw his best inning of the season, look for Shouse on the mound in the 9th.

[sheethead]

Well, Rickie made contact, but he's still 0 for 4.

 

And 3 of the 0's are Ks. Too bad Yost needs to be hit with a brick to figure anything out. Maybe Cox can give him a call sometime?

[Oldcity]

How bout some magic Billy?

[Team Canada]

Oh excuse me. Im so sorry.

 

 

Well, it's a fair point that if you want to know about a minor league player, perhaps you should read the minor league forum.

[thablingster]

Yikes, that was a disappointing AB.

[yfinn6]

At least you went down swinging, Billy.

[sheethead]

Wow, so it is legal in baseball to bring your closer in to finish off the 8th. I'm afraid its game over.

[lumberrule]

How does this team lead the NL in runs scored with one of the poorer lead-off and clean-up hitter combinations in the NL?

[crewcrazy]

Yikes...Brett Myers' curveball is nasty.

[bucksman4]

Piss poor piece of hitting there by Billy.

[Oldcity]

At least that strikeout came by a good pitcher.

 

What's next inning look like? Estrada, Jenkins, Gross?

[lumberrule]

Dont look now, folks, but were three outs away from starting out 1-4 on this little three week "test". And we havent even gotten out west yet.

 

Yikes.

[BrewCrewForever]

Well, it's a fair point that if you want to know about a minor league player, perhaps you should read the minor league forum.

 

Yeah maybe true. I just figured I would have heard or read about elsewhere first. I have not checked the minor league thread in a few days.

 

It just seemed a cocky comment.

[BrewCrewForever]

A 1-4 start is not looking good.

[ccbrew]

How does this team lead the NL in runs scored with one of the poorer lead-off and clean-up hitter combinations in the NL?

 

Because hitters 2 and 3 are leading the NL in HR and RBI?

[lumberrule]

What's next inning look like? Estrada, Jenkins, Gross?

 

Grounder to second, strikeout, pop out to left field. Goodnight.

[crewcrazy]

Nice effort by J.J., but you have almost no chance of throwing out Victorino on a play like that.

 

At least Spurling's been looking halfway decent tonight.

 

Edit: For the first 1.1 innings he threw, anyway.

[lumberrule]

Because hitters 2 and 3 are leading the NL in HR and RBI?

 

My point is that sooner or later, the Brewers are going to need production from them. I love both JJ and Prince, but neither one are going to continue at the clip they are on.

[Oldcity]

We spoke to soon on Spurling. Can't give up any more runs.

[BrewCrewForever]

Thank God Suppan and Sheets are going the next two cause we have to win them both.

[lumberrule]

Thank God Suppan and Sheets are going the next two cause we have to win them both.

 

If Adam fricken Eaton can dominate this team, Cole Hamels will shred it up and down. Suppan may very well have to pitch a shutout to win tomorrow.

[AJ Love]

So are we going to see a "Fire Sveum" thread for going with Spurling for a 2nd inning? At least we get Ned back tommorow

[bucks2281]

Cole Hamels is starting tomorrow, so I'm too confident in a W tomorrow. I'll be satisfied if they can salvage one game in this series.

[pitchleague]

hey, Shousie. Let's get the out.

[brewcrewkid14]

I'm not going to expect too much with these guys in the next two games, the way we're playing right now, I'll be happy with one of the next two.
