9/16/08 Brewers (Sabathia) at Cubs (Dempster): 7:05 PM CDT

[crewcrazy]

Dempster looks really good to start this game, and it's not just the Brewers looking bad. Hopefully they can get to him the second and third times through the order.

[trwi7]

Sure would be nice if we had Gabe Gross to play for Hart right now. His .346 OBP would fit nicely. His .346 OBP would be third on the team. That's pretty pathetic.

[wibadgers23]

Haha

 

Dead center wind blowing out that is a tough catch, he is one of the best defensive CF in the game.

You sure like Cameron, don't you elcaballo? Not saying there's anything wrong with that (I think he's one of the best defensive CF too), but you are usually the first person to come to his defense. And I agree, it was a tough catch.

[ELCABALLO45]

I hate Reed Johnson

[pebadger]

I'm thinking there will be more trouble with this umpiring crew before the night is over. When I saw this group in the pregame with the managers at the plate, I figured there could be some drama.

[iluvlamp]

That CC pitch to K Derosa was awesome.

 

/now a hit by bootyhead

I do like him, I just can't stand when people rip on him. He has been soooo good for the Brewers this year and when people nit pik him it gets frustarting.

I know facing major league pitching isn't easy and all players swing at bad pitches once in a while. However, it sure seems like we either get ourselves out or behind in the count by swinging at really, really bad pitches in just about every at bat. Those at bats to JJ and Corey were just awful. I don't think he threw more than one strike in those two at bats combined. Then Kendall struck out on a pitch that wasn't close.

[ELCABALLO45]

Are you kidding me?

[iluvlamp]

Ahh sheesh. CC killer up.

[Bruce Ciskie]

Um...why can't we ever do that?

 

I mean, their PITCHER can do that. Why can't we?

[brewtank34]

Seriously...quit it Brian Anderson. It's like listening to Harry Carey

[iluvlamp]

w00t!

[ELCABALLO45]

I have a question...

 

When is Ryan Dempster going to come back to reality? Seriously he has pitched lights out this year.

[olsonnet]

Cameron strikes out? Shocking.

[Bruce Ciskie]

Seriously, it's not too late to reconsider this Skaalen thing.

[bucksman4]

6 K's in 2 2/3 innings. Ha. Yost must be laughing from his couch. Lot has changed under the Sveum/Yount regime huh?

[GoIrish]

Good news: We're doing a pretty good job getting Dempster's pitch count up.

 

Bad news: We're still whiffing a lot for strike 3.

 

Please get some runners on if for no other reason to stop Dempster from doing that jerky hand movement in his delivery. It's beyond distracting.

[Bruce Ciskie]

Well, in Durham's defense, it's not like any of the last four pitches he swung at were strikes. How the hell is he supposed to hit them?

[trwi7]

7 strikeouts in 3 innings. This team is just absolutely pathetic and hopeless.

[bucksman4]

Eesh...sorry...make that 7 K's thru 3 innings. Good ol' Brewers. They're horrible.

[naivin]

Looks like we're gonna need a few more managers.

[iluvlamp]

I think we should stop with the negative waves, man.

[Gormans sideburns]

Haha

I don't dislike Cameron, I just believe he's overrated. Yes, the flyball was tough to catch, but it hit off his glove and IMO he should've had it. As far as being "soooo good for the Brewers this year", I'm assuming your talking about his awesome .246 average and the fact that he is 11th in the league in strikeouts despite having nearly 100 less at bats than everyone else and missing the first 25 games. Just my opinion, not trying to start anything. LET'S GO BREWERS!!!

[Bruce Ciskie]

Well, there are nine players in blue shirts and hats who have a chance to stop the waves. None of them have done much to help.

 

That's not our fault, though I do understand your sentiment. It's just not that easy at this point.
