05/19/2006 Twins (Liriano) @ Brewers (Davis) 7:05 pm CST

[endaround]

Brady getting thrown out might mean some Liriano in the fifth instead of just 4 innings.

This is the 2006 Brewers. Not the 1996 Brewers.

So far I'm seeing the 1996 Brewers at the plate.

 

Well, maybe not, but I told you this guy was filthy when he gets the ball over the plate. He's gonna be another Santana/Pedro.

[DuWayne Steurer]

Good to know that Carlos will never blow a hammy jogging to first.

[endaround]

He saves the effort for his defense.

[adamb100]

Davis gives up a longball.

 

2-1

[JoeH33]

I guess the Twins weren't kidding about Liriano being on a pitch count. I can't say I mind him leaving the game after only 5 innings/68 pitches.

[endaround]

Why was Davis batting at 98 pitches?

[Trowekamp]

At what point do you platoon Jenkins? He looked brutal tonight against both left-handers..

[AJ Love]

I apologize for being too lazy to look it up myself, but what is the record for errors in a season?

When it comes to Doug Davis, Yost turns into Dusty Baker...Davis is on a strict 140 pitch pitch-count tonight http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

[Trowekamp]

Alright Prince...

 

Bad break on the bounce..

[AJ Love]

Prince is the man

[JoeH33]

Eh, I was hoping they'd leave the lefty in there to face Hall.

[Trowekamp]

Season Record for errors by 2b: 88

I think the brewers used up all their good luck vibes yesterday with Moellers home run.

[wOOgiE22]

AHHHH!!! What a bad break on the bounce by Prince. Now don't even get a run in to tie the game.

[badgerfan.tgf]

Ugh.

 

So that's what it's like to not come through in the clutch. I've kinda forgotten that feeling over the last week. Yep, it still sucks.

 

Not sure what it is but I don't really feel the Brewers mojo tonight. Hope I'm wrong.

[JoeH33]

Apparently Ned's gone completely Dusty Baker on us.

[Trowekamp]

Hmmm... starting to look familiar.. keep the starter in 1 extra inning and they tire and have trouble throwing strikes...

 

Is Wise on the DL?

 

We may need to file a missing person report.

Someone on another forum said that Schroeder has already told us that the American League doesn't steal a lot of bases. Please say it isn't so. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/frown.gif

[Trowekamp]

I agree about the mojo.. so far:

- Brady's baserunning blunder

- lots of Brewer K's

- Carlos not diving on a pop up

- Rickie with 2 errors (I could care less what the scorer called them)

- 3 Brewer Double Plays

- Only 4 Brewer hits

 

and most importantly only a couple of people on the IGT : )

 

tough to get excited..

[Bruce Ciskie]

Way to hustle on defense, guys. And why is Davis still out there? Ugh.

 

Has Ned already lost all faith in Shouse?

[hawing]

Why is Sharpie coming out only now?

 

Even I, the Sharpie fan, can't figure that out.

[Trowekamp]

I normally defend Ned but what is up with his pitching changes the last week? The only thing he has gotten right is when to bring in DLR..

[endaround]

Its fairly simple, the pitchers spot is up next inning and Ned hates having to pull a relief pitcher for a pinch hitter. So a tired Davis goes back out.
