VS. SCHMIDT

Cirillo 7-17 .412

Clark 4-12 .333

Weeks 1-3 .333

Jenkins 5-20 .250

Lee 2-10 .200

Miller 2-16 .188

Koskie 1-6 .167

 

No other Brewer has a hit off him, and no current Brewer has EVER hit a HR off him.

 

In May, Schmidt threw a CG SHO at Miller Park, giving up 5 hits, 0 walks, and striking out 7, wasting a great outing by Dave Bush as 2-0 was the final. Tonight is a daunting task.

They already posted the lineups on mlb.com, which is weird because the game is in 2 hours. Yost moved Gross up to the 6 spot, Hall down to 7th, and Rivera is starting and hitting 8th. You have to wonder if something is wrong with Miller.

[thablingster]

Ned is probably playing one of those hunches of his with Rivera, seeing how Miller hasn't fared well against Schmidt.

 

I like the college photo mojo for ZJ.

"Ned is probably playing one of those hunches of his with Rivera, seeing how Miller hasn't fared well against Schmidt."

 

In addition, Rivera probably has some experience catching Jackson in the minors.

[Lil Dummy]

I hate Omar Vizquel. What's the combined age of he, Bonds, and Alou, like 200?

[Oldcity]

Hmm... it doesn't look good on paper, but you never know with baseball. Let's steal one tonight.

[saget]

I hope Jenkins goes freaky tonight and gets like 3HR's.

 

One can dream

[Terok Balefire]

Man the training staff for the Giants must have to work 80 hour weeks with that many geezers.

[pitchleague]

okay, Extra Innings package has both the Brewers and the Giants feeds blacked out! Anybody else outside the Milwaukee market getting the game?

 

EDIT: Never mind. The game finally popped up five minutes after I posted.

[Riebes24]

I'm sensing a 14 K performance by schmidt http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/frown.gif

 

Edit: Well Rickie helped him out nicely...

[honuswagner21]

I'm sensing some damage done by the Brewers second time through the lineup

[JoeH33]

A three pitch strikeout to start the game....thats always promising.

[Riebes24]

Outs on the base paths are OK as long as you hustle

[saget]

What the hell...

[JoeH33]

Ugh....nothing worse than giving away outs.

 

...and now Jenks gets a basehit.

[JoeH33]

There's a big advantage there of having Gross in CF over Clark. He can chuck it.

 

edit: I guess we're not the only team who has trouble scoring runs with guys on base/no outs. ZachJack definately dodged a bullet there.

[Oldcity]

Man, Gross gunned him. Vizquel really looked out at third too.

[steve267268]

Gross is a Chucka

[honuswagner21]

Good to see a couple of early hits here

[JoeH33]

Butch must have told the guys to attack Schmidt early in the count. We're sure going up there hacking away tonight.

[fondybrewfan]

Gameday has that double by Prince going off the wall to dead center, is that right? Prince certainly seems to have his stroke back

[JoeH33]

I guess we deserved that half inning after what happened to the Giants in the first.

[steve267268]

Tough break that last inning... I have a feeling we might need some of these runs we are giving up on.

[badgerfan.tgf]

Is anyone else sick of Bill Hall trying to hit a HR to left field every at-bat? Go the other way Billy!
