Nice Job Prince!

 

Too bad it was right at him, but that's okay.

 

Now they are walking Koskie to get to the man who has hit .600 against them this year.. nice.

What do we have, like 14 sac flies this game?

I'll take 14 sac flies tonight. We might even make the record books.

Well, Damian is scuffling... Bases loaded, no outs, and we get 2. Not too bad, could have been better, but not too bad.

[JoeH33]

I miss April/May Damian Miller.

And that's my concern as well. It's going to be hard to send him back to the minors at some point if he keeps this up and the injured pitchers start coming back.

The only alternative I can think when Sheets and Okha return is to give Zack Bush's spot in the rotation and send Bush to long relief. Pretty much this would only happen if Zack J. was lights out all the way up until their return. This would be a great situation for the club -- a stocked rotation once again, and both Bush and Helling as options if the #4 and #5 started to struggle.

With all the Jenkins conversation going on, I'd just like to point out that on MilwaukeeBrewers.com Adam McCalvy answered questions from his mailbag today, and someone asked a question about trading Jenkins. One part I found interesting is McCalvy hints that Yost is indeed considering platooning Hart and Jenkins

 

Here's the link to that page:LINK

The big stat line for Jackson, in my opinion -- 0 walks. Good things happen when you throw strikes.

[JoeH33]

Ahh, and there go those two runs we just got back. Nothing like their 7-8 guys accounting for 2 runs.

 

Tie game......back to back jacks by catchers.

[PeaveyFury]

Ack. We're in for a fight tonight.

[adambr2]

Crap...I hope that doesn't get into his head...

[adamb100]

Jackson's time is done.

[LUKE232323]

Crap.

[PeaveyFury]

Man, that pitch to LaRue right before he hit the HR was clearly strike 3.

Yeah, Zack J is really getting the rookie treatment from the home-plate ump.

[undertow67]

Yep... were playing the Reds.

 

FSN's Craig Coshun interviewing Jackson's family and asking how great it would be for his son to get the win, 1 second later, 2-run homer. Way to put the whammy on Zach, FSN. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/mad.gif

[hawing]

I hope that doesn't get into his head...

 

Well, as I was typing "I hope not too", he seemed to get that K effectively. C'mon, Zach.

[JoeH33]

Its good to see ZJack was able to regroup once he got to the top of the order.

I swear, everytime Coshun goes to interview someone, bad things happen. I wish he'd just knock it off. Don't make us miss Bob Brainerd, Coshun.

[JoeH33]

Mays has a .369 BAA this year.

 

Lets pound him.

[adambr2]

Looks like Zack Jack is staying in there...

[adambr2]

On Gameday it showed the second pitch to Griffey as a ball, then changed it to a strike. Did the ump change his call or something?

The home plate umpire is being very deliberate in his balls/strike calls. Gameday probably jumped the gun.

[adambr2]

Ah, weird. Both ESPN's and MLB's Gamecast's did that.

[adambr2]

Well, I guess we'll have to be happy when Jenks is 0-2 with 2 K's and 2 walks.

[JoeH33]

Sweet getting shut down by a guy with a 9+ ERA.
