6/24/08 Brewers (Bush) at Braves (Morton): 6:00 PM CDT

[Trowekamp]

Brewers pitchers are so more effective this year than last handling the bat.

[davemakovec]

He hit 94 a couple times and 93 a few as well. I don't know what Braves fan you're talking about but he may be able to dial it up to 96-97 once or twice.

Somebody posted earlier about a Braves fan's scouting report.

 

Has his fastball clocked higher on tv?

Not sure. He hit 93-94 on gameday in the first.

[jhart05]

Is it me or do the Braves OFers play really shallow?

[endaround]

And Hardy's "double" is why outfield errors are meaningless

[stoutdude04]

i saw a 95 on tv for Mortons fb. oh, A nasty slider too.

[Trowekamp]

I completely agree.. the rule should be if 99.9% of the fans watching believe it is the fielder's fault it should be an error regardless if the touch the ball..

 

I don't get how if it goes through and IF's legs and never touch his glove and it is an error and if a OF comes in and misplays a flyball it is a hit..

 

[Trowekamp]

Maybe the rotation switch to put Bush after Sheets has had a positive impact as Bush can see the value of throwing strikes the day before he pitches.. be aggressive, work quickly, throw strikes and good things happen what a concept.

Best part is if he would have recovered a step quicker and stuck out his arm and have it bounce off his glove it would have been an error

Cam sure is picking some horrible times to strikeout today. We really should have this game blown completely open at this point.

[davemakovec]

If it weren't for the three runs and six hits given up, I would say that this kid is cruising...

[Trowekamp]

Cam is like 2008 version of Rob Deer except he can run bases and play defense.

[MillerParkSouth]

I give Deer the edge because of the 'stache. Bush looking good so far (knocks furiously on wood).

[owbc]

So how long is Bush going to take the no-no tonight?

Has Brian Anderson mentioned it yet? http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

That is a good point.. nobody would mess with you if you were at a bar with him and Glenn Braggs..

[Trowekamp]

Hopefully Bush finishes game with no hits 0-0 with 4 SAC

[bullox]

Listening to the Braves broadcast team on MLB.tv is like bizarro world. Anywhere from them saying that the Brewers are sound at textbook fundamentals to saying that they have no veteran players on the bench in case an infielder goes down to injury... I wonder if they are thinking about the same Brewers team that I am.

[zzzmanwitz]

whew...... francouer not on his game today.

[strawbossisevil]

What's the website again that tracks the "winning percentage" for a game that's being played?

[owbc]

Last year, we never would have scored the run in that situation. In fact, with Estrada, there never would have been a baserunner.

It is pretty fun to look at.

Speaking of sac bunts (two nice ones by Bush, both preceding runs, btw), Seattle had two guys try to lay down sac bunts consecutively in the second. The first guy failed, but they still scored two runs. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/laugh.gif

[owbc]

Interesting to see that we already have an 85% chance of winning.

 

However, that does not take into account that Dave Bush is pitching.
