5/29/06 Brewers (Davis) @ Pirates (Duke) 6:05 PM CST

[JohnBriggs12]

Yost lets Davis bat in 4th inning after allowing 6 runs in 3 innings because:

 

A. Despite having 8 guys in the pen, he doesn't trust half of them to do their job and hold the Pirates where they are.

 

B. With only 3 non catchers on his bench, he's afraid he'll run out of pinch hitters by the 6th inning.

 

or

 

C. He trusted Davis would get a hit there and settle down and pitch shutout baseball the rest of the way.

 

Comon Ned, manage the team.

Another great start by DD.

 

Nothing is easy with Davis this year.

I know our Bullpen is weak, but come on!!!! He's giving up 8 runs.

8-2 FINALLY OUT OF THE GAME.

I'm giving a standing ovation for Davis!

(While throwing bricks at my television, and booking a flight to Pittsburgh so that I can throw a brick at Davis.)

[Ennder]

Now you take him out http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif /

[Giraldo8]

Thanks Doug for giving us very little chance of coming back.

[LUKE232323]

Game over.

 

Great start to this series, I must say.

This is starting to sound like a cub's fan in game thread. Relax gang, 1 game... many more to go.

[IslandsAC]

they're hitting duke pretty well. if they get to him in the next couple innings, this could still be interesting...

[JohnBriggs12]

Now would not be a good time for Davis' agent to bring up a contract extension.

 

If and its a big if, Sheets and Ohka ever get healthy, I'd think long and hard about dealing Mr. Davis.

[Giraldo8]

Very nice inning Gonzalez, wish I could have seen you after the 1st.

[adambr2]

I'm telling you, this series has "huge letdown" written all over it. I'm not saying we're going to get swept, but it wouldn't shock me. Capuano is usually a sure thing, but things happen -- that's probably be the game the bats don't show up. And with De La Rosa and Bush going the other days, really no telling what we'll see.

 

I don't think it will get that bad, but if we head back to Milwaukee on a 5 game losing streak and 2 under .500, it won't be the first time we went into Pittsburgh on a high and then disaster struck.

[jloos19]

Cy Gonzalez.

[happydays1950]

I bet the final score will be 8-7

[JohnBriggs12]

"This is beginning to look like a Cub fans game thread.."

 

That's only because the Brewers are playing Cub like baseball tonight.

[Giraldo8]

OMG Prince

[happydays1950]

what a shot by prince 8-3

[adamb100]

THE PRINCE PUTS IT IN THE WATER!!!!

[Crazyk1294]

HOLY S#!% PRINCE!

[Ayt]

Prince is amazing. He gets extremely angry after striking out on a breaking ball with men on base the last time up so he decides to atone for it with a mammoth shot out of the park.

[AJ Love]

Prince is the man!

 

And folks, this game is not over. This is the 2006 Milwaukee Brewers we're talking about...

[adamb100]

The Bucs get back there run we took from them.

[happydays1950]

and of course we give that run right back.

[Ayt]

Weeks is just on fire. Line shots all over the field.
