btw, also in regards to Fielder: Once #4 retires, the State of Wisconsin will belong to #28! http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

Ueck and Powell just told the story of last nights ejection.

 

According to their version, Welky is a totally jerk calling Brady "Bush League:

[PeaveyFury]

That is the 2nd time this series that Kearns has hit a HR to the opposite field that I can't believe went out after seeing it off the bat.

LOL, actually, you're right I had that backwards in regards to Fielder... never mind

so then it's settled. there is absolutely no valid argument in the known universe, or even the IGT for keeping Jenkins at 3.

 

I think there are lots of starting pitchers in the Central that are praying that "The Switch" doesn't happen any time soon. Each night they thank Ned Yost before they go to bed.

 

Maybe it's that Ned doesn't want to leave Jenkins "unprotected". But if you bat Hall right after him i think that's good enough.

[steve267268]

new pitcher, 10/7 K/BB, hasn't pitched in a week, let's take a few pitches guys!

[steve267268]

Kearns is one of those players that if you put him on most other teams his HR's will decrease by about 35% I think maybe Biggio could be another.. but without looking at his homeruns before the advent of the "Stupid Porch" i'm not sure.

 

I'm loving this Weeks-Cirillo 1-2 punch we got going...

[JET15]

Cirillo is batting .385. I know, small sample, but we've got to find a way to get him in the line-up more.

[DHonks]

Cirillo's small sample is becoming bigger each day.

[Point Beer Is Best]

Bringing in a left to face Fielder? Don't opposing managers know how this movie ends by now?

[DHonks]

0.059 avg against for lefties...sounds like Prince is gonna have to teach him a lesson

[JoeH33]

Sweet, they're bringing in a lefty to face Fielder.

[wisconsinfan47]

Don't jinx it!

 

Edit: OK, Good enough.

[JET15]

That was a strike against Billy. We got a break there. bases loaded for a hot Miller

[steve267268]

I thought for sure Prince would hit one of his trademark oppo-field doubles on that one.. i'll take it though!

[rluzinski]

Seriously, do you think it even matters who's #3 or #5? Flipping them would have virtually no impact to the offense.

[steve267268]

I'm pretty sure Cincinnati is one of those cities that you can just tell you don't want to live there based on their commercials alone... fast food chili?

[JoeH33]

Brady just keeps on raising that average. Tonight's three hit effort brings it up to .271.

[steve267268]

You can't say that for sure...

 

Obviously lineup changes do have an effect and certain players batting in certain spots do make sense, or managers would keep the same lineups all year. That of course excludes injuries and players in a real bad slump.

 

How much of a difference would swapping Jenkins and Fielder make? We won't know until "The Switch", but there will definitly be a difference.

[steve267268]

good to see Clark with a nice game. I know weeks is batting over .300 (and really it just doesn't feel like it), but i think most see him as a 2 hitter rather than a 1. If Clark can reclaim that leadoff spot and Rickie can settle in at 2, this offense will be scary..

 

good to see Matt Wise back out there.

[steve267268]

does anyone else watching on MLB.TV see that menu at the top that looks like you are watching it on Directv?

 

Someone just "changed the channel" and now i'm getting Dodgers Live... ???? what is this, a glorified Sling Box?

 

I don't care what they did with this software in the offseason, so far MLB.TV has just been horrible.

[hawing]

Yay! Game over and a W for Sharpie.

[Harold Hutchison]

He seems to have straightened things out. Now... if the Crew can only get Sheets and Helling healthy...

[AJ Love]

Nice win tonight

[hkdakd]

very nice win tonight. Now let's keep the winning trend in Philly and string some road wins together.

 

Davis did an awesome job tonight. Cappy your up!

[brewerjamie15]

We Pickled Claussen! Sorry. I had to say it.
