I'll chime in.......Ned, what the heck?

[strawbossisevil]

That has to be the dumbest move by a manager I've seen in a while. If he pinch hit for him last inning, the homer could have been a two run shot. When a player doesn't have his head in the game he gets benched, what happens when a manager doesn't have his head in the game?

[jloos19]

Wow, Pedro is actually a pretty good bunter for someone who doesn't have a clue when he's batting.

[JET15]

Pedro runs back to the plate with Prince running behind him. What a dork

Maybe, maybe not. Ned was just trying to get as much as he could out of the starting pitcher or he has to risk using Demaria.

[strawbossisevil]

That is the second time that Jenkins has worked the count full, only to strike out. Pedro really has his number.

[jloos19]

I can't believe we have 4 runs on Pedro right now. He's simply dealing.

[Ennder]

Nice AB's by Jenkins and Fielder there, they worked the count deep enough that Pedro might not make it out of the 7th.

[strawbossisevil]

That should be it for Pedro, he's at 98 pitches. I can't imagine he'll be in much longer.

[wisconsinfan47]

Pedro has been far and away the better starting pitcher today, and yet.......

 

Good teams find a way to win games where their SP is struggling and the oppositions SP is dominating, which I guess is *so far* a good sight to see.

 

Let's keep it going Capellan!

[DuWayne Steurer]

He's made exactly 2 "mistake" pitches, and it's our good fortune that both times the batter was able to capitolize on his mistakes.

 

He doesn't make them very often.

[strawbossisevil]

Just noticed, the brilliant decision to start Bill Hall has so far resulted in 3Ks. The big question is, will he get the golden sombrero?

 

Edit: Maybe its just the pink bat.

[endaround]

This is why hitting home runs is a good thing pace Bill Schroeder. Putting together a string of hits agaisnt Pedor today is impossible, but because they have home run power they are leading.

 

As to the Davis decision, thats Yost managing by what he hopes will happen versus what will likely happen.

[wisconsinfan47]

I wanna see a stat at the end of the day of how everyone who had a pink bat today did. I'd love it if they someone together batted .400 with a bunch of homers...What a sight that would be.http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

 

In other news...the Padres lead the Cubs 4-0 in the 7th with the Scrubs only with two hits.

 

Edit: Here comes Shouse with the tying-run up to bat. Make your first outing a good one big guy!

[nsimps]

Shouse sighting. Let's see what you got kid guy.

[strawbossisevil]

Eh, I don't like to see runners on for Delgado when the game is this tight. Come on Cappy Jr. nothing else this inning.

[brewerjamie15]

Looks like we'll see Shouse for the first time.

It could start a new craze around the league. Forget pinetar, I've got pink paint on my bat.

Yes. And that's not always that bad. We need to get some longer appearences from Capuano, Davis, and Bush if Eveland and Hendrickson are rounding out the rotation.

[brewerjamie15]

Yost wasn't kidding. Odd delivery for Mr. Shouse. Kinda cool. (just hope it works)

[hawing]

Yeah, don't call him "kid" when he's almost my age. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

JJ has been putrid in May hitting .143 with a .468 OPS. It's tough to fault sitting him for awhile in favor of Hall even if Hall didn't hit today.

[JET15]

There's the E for RickiE.

 

K to come.

[brewerjamie15]

E-4. No way....

[jloos19]

Gosh darn it Rickie! That was a double play ball.
