nice job by weeks there. off to a good start!

[And That]

Counsell is so gritty, he'll try to move the runner over with 2 outs.

[yount19.u]

And for a moment the Rickie haters and the people in dismay over our hitting with RISP can relax

 

I am one of those and I just looked outside and it's snowing gophers!

[secondsith]

C'mon 'soup don't throw like poop!!

[Ranier]

Great AB by Rickie...hit it exactly where it was pitched.

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

Look at our lineup...

 

Rickie Weeks : .225 BA

Bill Hall & Mike Cameron : A robust .229 BA

Craig Counsell : .238 BA

Jason Kendall : .244 BA

(Jeff Suppan) : .038 BA

 

VERY impressive...

 

There's our upside case for the Brew Crew. The 2nd best record in the NL with several key players underperforming. It would only take one or two of these guys heating up to really change things.

***you beat me to the punch ueck :-)

[Brewtacular]

Im concerned about the lack of homeruns over the last few days. I think we need to change our approach.

[yount19.u]

Wow, night and day era for Soup in July and August since '04. 5.55 vs. 3.27.

[uecker9]

The Reds are hitting everything to Rickie! Keep making plays out there Weeks, no freebies today!

I hope Yost doesn't notice...he might platoon him.

[And That]

Billy's getting better at 3rd every day. Nice play.

I'm not in dismay, nor do I hate Rickie. I believe, however, that we are the worst hitting team with RISP in all of MLB. I'll take those stats over one game anyday. My point of keeping the watch is not because I hope the Brewers do bad or because I am in dismay over it, it is much to the contrary. I would be willing to let the whole game play out to find out if I am in dismay over it. I hope that it becomes non-sensical and stupid to keep it because they begin crushing the ball w/ RISP.

[uecker9]

Who hits the first homer off Homer? How 'bout right here, Ryan, Prince and/or Corey.

[datrain711]

Yeah I know that fans on this board and other message boards can be a bit fatalistic when it comes to our teams, but with the Brewers in RISP, it is hard to overstate how bad they have been. I hope that they can reverse the trend a bit for the rest of the season

RISP Watch

 

Brewers : 1-3

 

Reds : 0-3

 

 

Looking good so far!

[And That]

The Reds are 0-3 with RISP today.

[Ranier]

Someday, Braun will get a little plate discipline and watch out.

[Glennron]

What is it about an ankle high fastball that's so appealing to Braun? It was shin high about 10 feet away from the plate, does he think it's going to rise up a few inches?

[eanelson4]

The Reds are 0-3 with RISP today.

 

Correct, I missed the last groundout

[And That]

And the Brewers are 1-4. But who's counting? http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

 

Edit: Oops, sac bunt, nevermind. 1-3.

 

But... I just like keeping track of the score, so I'll stick to that.

[rluzinski]

When dd the Reds get a hit w/RISP? Am I an inning behind?

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

rluz...do you have a ranking of where exactly the Brewers stand on team BA w/RISP?

[eanelson4]

When dd the Reds get a hit w/RISP? Am I an inning behind?

 

They didn't. My number was off. It's fixed now. Should be g2g the rest of the game http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif
