7.19.06 Brewers (Davis) @ Giants (Morris) 2:35 PM CST

[Sundown Kid]

The only baserunner I can think of who is worse is Brady Clark. He's in Fernando Vina's league.

[thablingster]

Both pitchers get 1, 2, 3 innings, this is bizarroland!

[sheethead]

Nice 7 pitch inning for DD. I have to go to a meeting for an hour now, the Crew better be wrapping this one up when I get back!!

[Badger61]

4th inning - 13 pitches, 6 outs. Nice (as long as you're winning by 4 runs).

[thablingster]

Apparently sucking for the first 3 innings has made Matt Morris angry, lol.

[brewers19]

This is what I get for making fun of Steve Finley.

[TheBwaz]

Well, there goes the quality start Sweathog.

[brewers19]

I think we found a place to stick Maddux in the rotation. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/eyes.gif

[MillerBombers]

DD sure can't help but make games interesting. He definitely isn't the pitcher of last year.

[adambr2]

Seriously, what is wrong with "Sharpie" this season? And is it really worth keeping him around after next season for 5M+ a year?

[hauser42]

Davis may have already peaked in value. I have to wonder also if he is worth keeping around for 5 mil a year. I would think a healthy Ohka is a better value.

[zzzmanwitz]

He had a rough start to the season, but here are his earned runs in his last 8 starts: 2, 3, 3, 0, 3, 2, 7, 1. He had one bad game in there, but he is pitching like the old Davis. He has a 3.71 ERA since the start of June.

 

thats a quote from the trade rumors page, lets get off of Davis's back, he's done great since June.

[adambr2]

Well, we have Zack Jack, Eveland, and Villy possibly contending for spots in the rotation next year. We have Rogers in the future. And Bush may be a keeper. I know we were in talks with Davis over a long-term extension before the season, but I think it may be time to call that off.

[brewers19]

This offense is such a tease.

Really? Tonight's game will probably put him around 4.00 ERA since the start of June. And that's been his best run of the year. He's over 30. You're really interested in looking at an expensive, long-term extension for someone like that?

[PeaveyFury]

We have Rogers in the future.

 

Rogers is way to far from Milwaukee to be counting on him for anything.

[thablingster]

Morris is mowing through the offense now.

 

Lets hope Double D can get through a couple scoreless innings and hand the lead off to the bullpen.

Obviously I'm not talking about 2007, but long-term he is probably the best pitching prospect we have.

Notice I didn't copy the part about the extension. I just think he's been our 2nd best pitcher this year and people shouldn't be so hard on a guy thats pitched as well as he had over the last couple months. No, we shouldn't resign him, but we should not think we should dump him for whatever we can get.

I never thought I would hear somebody look forward to handing things over the bullpen this season.

[TauPentaRei]

Rivera is Moellery at throwing out runners

 

(from my in-depth CBS gamecast scouting persepctive)

Did Dave Bush suddenly leave the Brewers?? I would have to put him as the second best pitcher. I know he was in the top ten for Ks in the NL and was second on the staff in qaulity starts.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not looking forward to it ... but at the same time I'd rather they blow the lead than Doug if someone has to do it. It would just be another example of how badly we need bullpen help.

[adambr2]

Okay. Luckily, we have a lights out bullpen to handle the last 3 innings.

[kinglou52]

FWIW, Uecker said Alfonzo was dead in the water but Billy dropped the throw, sounded like it should have been an error almost
