5/11/06 Brewers (Hendrickson) @ Padres (Peavy), 2:35 PM CST

Ueck: "All we got was one @#%$ hit"

Powell: "You can't say @#%$ on the air"

Ueck: "Don't worry, nobody's listening."

[mpepy05]

Damn, we gotta catch the cubbies. They're now losing 9-0.

[mls4]

Actually, we should have had Fernandez come in to pitch to Bard yesterday instead of leaving Davis in to give up the 2 RBIs. If he can't catch a knuckleball, certainly he can't hit one.

Well, it was really 2nd and 3rd with 1 out. Yost, in his infinate wisdom, allowed a pitcher who was getting destroyed and had 65 pitches in 2 innings, bat for himself. I guess that 1/3rd extra IP he got out of him was worth it though.

Good point! I've gotta agree with you... "Small sample" on Hendrickson in the Majors this season but it sure seems like he is a AAAA pitcher. Fernandez just plain doesn't belong in the majors...

 

It looks like it is time for Jorge De La Rosa to be a starting pitcher until Sheets and/or Helling gets healthy... here's hoping that Eveland will be lights out great (or even just solid) on Saturday night

[brewmann04]

jenks is the worst #3 hitter he needs to be moved out of that spot.

 

Maybe package jenks and Little ben in a deal oh yeah throw in Moller

[chuckcrim]

Lee, Prince and Billy are all this team has offensively right now.

[deeswan]

That last out lowered Fernandez' ERA from 15.75 to 14.54!

 

The Fernandez watch is on. He needs to pitch 2 innings with no earned runs to get his ERA under 10. Go Jared!

[afeter]

i would trade little ben for 2 tylenol right now

[jloos19]

Is it wrong that I may start drinking right now? No, I don't think it is.

[davemakovec]

Minor leaguers to replace Fernandez?

 

We have thirteen pitchers on the roster and three more on the DL! Why do we need to bring up more?

 

Just dump Fernandez already. I know we're talking about a small sample size, but a 14.54 ERA is only going to go down so far, especially when he comes in and knuckleballs start flying out of the park.

You're a Brewer fan and you haven't begun drinking yet? How did you endure the Bando years?

[wOOgiE22]

OMG! Fernandez got out of an inning and didnt allow a run!

I'd rather pull the type of trade we pulled to get Koskie - give up little ben for a case of beer.

 

I'll take a six-pack as a finder's fee.

[jloos19]

nsimps, I was barely a teenager during the Bando, and actually played baseball with Bando's nephew, so I couldn't really drink. But hey, dreary day outside, Brewers down 8-0, Jared Fernandez, probably a good excuse to crack open a New Castle Ale.

[nsimps]

I can't believe that Yost called for Hall to hit into a double play. What a poor manager.

[davemakovec]

Trade Hall for prospects! Bring up Irribarren!

 

Anyway, this is starting to feel like a CG shutout. Not pretty.

 

annnddd...

 

Down goes Moeller! DOWN GOES MOELLER!! on strikes. Way to go, buddy.

 

This Peavy guy's supposed to be an ace, right? I'm a little worried about our inability to hit All-Star pitchers lately, combined with our continued owning by scrub pitchers. This cold streak better end soon.

[bsglorydays]

We have thirteen pitchers on the roster ...

 

Which is why Yost had to let Hendrickson hit, for those who were wondering.

[hauser42]

I would say we have thirteen guys that throw not 13 pitchers

[bjkrautk]

On the plus side, by the end of this game, Fernandez's ERA will (hopefully) be lower lil' Ben's.

 

Viva La Knuckler!

[JohnBriggs12]

Don't read too much into Fernandez getting through some innings. Its getaway day for the Padres too and with the game well in hand, the focus is gone.

[mls4]

"The Fernandez watch is on. He needs to pitch 2 innings with no earned runs to get his ERA under 10. Go Jared!"

 

He did it!

 

 

"On the plus side, by the end of this game, Fernandez's ERA will (hopefully) be lower lil' Ben's."

 

Not that.

[edod]

Peavy is going to have a memorable game today-- I say he closes it out with a 3 hit shutout and 15 k's.

 

Any other guesses?

[edod]

And there you go, a new career high in K's against the who else.

[Blazer25]

At least Jake Peavy is having fun..http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/eyes.gif

 

This is embarrassing.

[davemakovec]

I say the Padres top a dozen runs. Yost is going to take out Fernandez and put in whatever reliever has been sitting the longest (at least a week, preferably), and he proceeds to get inducted into the Order.
