07/15/06 Brewers (Cappy) @ D'Backs (Webb) 8:40pm CST

I don't have this dislike of Barnwell that some have (career minor leaguer? Like Gross, Miller, Rivera, and Clark?) I just don't understand the need to rest Weeks now after a long All Star break.

Didn't you hear? Mike Maddux is our closer now.

I thought that was Tony Gwynn's new role?

[M Skjellyfetti]

Endaround,

I think Rivera is the only player you mentioned that fits the career minor leaguer bill.

[Oldcity]

All those players he mentioned lasted a long time in the minors.

[cruiserx43]

Maybe Ned is sending Weeks a message for that crap throw to first that led to an unearned run last night? Pure speculation.

[1992casey]

Anyone catch Daron's Sheets interview?

 

Ben floored him at one point. Daron mentioned that he'd been excercising and keeping himself in great shape, then asked him if it helped the healing process. Ben simply said, "No."

[TauPentaRei]

I'm delusional

 

Jenkins goes yard twice tonight.

 

Here's my logic... if he can swing & miss so easily and so often at mediocre pitches, he will bring that same stroke upper-cutting through a sinker ball. Where Webb makes other batters miss with his wickedness, his pitch will find Jenkins' misguided bat, which otherwise misses everything else... well, it makes sense in my head.

 

First wheelhouse job of Webb, collects a little mojo and goes yard again later against the bullpen.

[B2k1121]

Well, I have both pitchers on my fantasy team in tonights game. So it's like a win-win situation.

[brewers255]

that half inning was pathitec. Cirrilo missed bunt, cost the brewers there. Jenks goes down looking.

[RightFieldCoder]

Here's why I don't like the linup:

 

You could have had your Ace go against a journeyman pitcher last night. Instead, you save him to go against their Ace. I have no faith in the Brewers to hit their Ace. To then use 2 backups in the game blows me away.

[bucksman4]

One run might just be enough tonight. With Webb going against our pathetic lineup, it's certainly not out of the realm of thinking.

[Brewers77]

If this lineup is so pathetic, what is your excuse last night when carlos left runners stranded all night? Barnwell wasnt in there last night. Some fans are just unreal. Yost is playing the numbers and weeks has been bad in this situation. But you brilliant people already know that.

[endaround]

Yes in week's extensive career he hasn't hit Webb well

[bucksman4]

Yost is playing the numbers and weeks has been bad in this situation. But you brilliant people already know that.

 

Oh, sorry. Let me clarify. I have no problem at all sitting weeKs. He is doing nothing to warrant playing time over Barnwell. My point is the lineup stinks either way (with him or without him). Jenkins is useless. Prince is up and down (mostly down). Miller, Koskie, Hall, and Gross are no superstars either. Pretty mediocre and very inconsistent. Note to Doug Melvin: get rid of the K-prone guys next year. Your lineup is so up and down/ hit or miss because of all the high-strikeout prone guys. I'm no genius, but....

[endaround]

You're right you are no genius. The Ks aren't hurting the Brewers.

[brewers255]

Cappy is really laboring 39 pitches in 1 1/3 innings, only 23 strikes too.

[And That]

And queue RBI hit for an opposing pitcher...

 

Edit: Gosh, I'm good. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/frown.gif

[adamb100]

I dont like how cappy is pitchin tonight.

[brettac1]

I know the K's are killing the Tigers (1st in the AL in K's). They did the Red Sox in in 2004, too.

[bucksman4]

The Ks aren't hurting the Brewers.

 

Spoken like a true die hard HOMER...congrats.

 

 

Let's take a minute and give it up for the AAA Brewers!

Come on, this team stinks. Please don't take out your frustrations on me. I'm just calling it as I see it. We're witnessing the unraveling that will cost us Carlos Lee. Then I want to come back here next year when everyone is saying, "we have no one to provide the power, RBI's, right-handed bat in the lineup," and I'll remind all those anti-Carlos staying people how dumb their logic was and how quality, competing teams need to retain players of his caliber if they ever want to play over .500 ball.

[brewers255]

man Carlos Lee has to be the poorest defender in the NL. Maybe if he show some effort, at least dive once in a awhile.

[hawing]

OK, so much for the quality start.

[Brewers77]

Carlos lost the game by himself last night if you really want to look at it in a negative way.
