[saget]

Go Brewers

[NastyTwig]

How many strikeouts for Peavy tonight?

 

I say 11.

[mikerollins]

Lineup same as last night except Jenkins is back in the 3 hole, with Koskie moving down and Gross out.

 

Let's go CREW!!!!!!

[cooprules]

Cirillo at short again. Not that I really hate it but no Hall again either. Is Billy in the doghouse? There's no way a trade would be in the works. Not when he's the only SS we have.

[hawing]

I'll get in my word before the storms hit and I have to turn off the computer. Go Brewers. Don't give me "peavy fury" again.

[brewers19]

I can't decide whether I want to make the effort to watch this on TV or not.

[mikerollins]

Watch. Bush is going to keep us in it. It will be 3-3 when Peavy leaves with about 12 K's in the 8th. We win it in 11 innings.

 

I'm feeling a big bang to end this homestand.

[saget]

I wish Jenkins was still injured in a way. Or just not in the 3 hole.

Me thinks we won't be seeing any Brewers leaving their bats at home plate again any time soon. The frustration Billy felt is certainly understanable, but that is exactly the kind of crap you do not need when things are going bad, and it sure looks to me like Ned is taking this opportunity to send that message, and also get Hall a little bit of time off which he could probably use being a guy who hasn't been true everyday player thus far in his career.

[cooprules]

I hear about that move by Billy. I would totally understand the benching except that Yost backed him during the game.

[bucksman4]

So is Jeff Cirillo our SS now? I thought that was a 1-game experiment/punishment for Billy. Maybe Cirillo's B.A. and eye at the plate makes him an ideal number 2 hitter for Yost. If Ned feels his bat and glove are deserving enough to start, you gotta respect that decision.

"I'm not so sure that pitch was a strike," Yost said. "But, still there's no excuse to dump your bat in that situation and show an umpire up."

I think Yost was upset with the umpire for ordering the bat boy to go away and forcing Bill Hall to pick up the bat. But Yost was clearly not happy about Hall's behavior either.

Makes sense to me. I didn't know the specifics of the whole thing. I just knew Yost got tossed after the ump followed Billy. I didn't know about the other stuff.

[JET15]

I wonder how Cirillo feels about it. It seems like he was pretty surprised the first time.

[batman]

I thought maybe the Cirillo start was motivated by the matchup with Peavy but Jeff is 0-for-5 in his career while Billy is 1-for-3 with a walk... not much of a track record either way, although Cirillo did play with Peavy for a while in San Diego.

 

Interestingly, Geoff Jenkins is 4-for-14 with three home runs and a .286/.286/.929 line against Peavy. He's also struck-out seven times, though.

[SoCalBrewfan]

I said it yesterday...the Brewers won last night so Cirillo's the shortstop until further notice.

[bucky2win]

Could it be that Cirillo is really hot at the plate and has a great attitude while Billy is in a slump and pulled that bonehead move in his last start? With the way Cirillo is hitting I can't blame Ned for doing what he can to get him into the line-up.

[wisconsinfan47]

I'm thinkin' Bush will be shaky early, giving up a few earnie's in the first and second, but he should settle down.

 

Hopefully the Crew gets to Peavy tonight and gets the win.

[batman]

I just don't understand how the Brewers can be so willing to further compromise their infield defense... Cirillo and Weeks seem to be a historically bad keystone combination. Dave Bush isn't exactly Brandon Webb, but he does induce more groundball outs than flyball outs. Billy must really be in the doghouse.

 

~Bill

[rluzinski]

Well, Bush is a bit more of a groundball pitcher than Cap, so maybe we'll get to see what Cirillo is all about at SS tonight http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

 

Nice play, Lee. That would have probably hit the top of the fence.

[adamb100]

Im glad that Lee stopped the longball but am worried that Bush gave the longball this early.

[JoeH33]

Carlos doesn't make 'em look pretty, but he's already got a couple HR robbing catches this season.
