Why not start him for Clark tonight? Am I missing something here?

I just don't think you need to start benching people, giving them days off, etc....7 games into the season. Hall has started 3 games out of 8. Ideally as the year wears on it will be closer to 5 out of 8.

 

I'd be surprised if he doesn't give one of the kids tomorrow off (Hardy or Weeks) with a day game after a night game.

 

Hall will get plenty of at-bats. Don't worry about the first 8 games. It's a long season.

 

With a day off yesterday, playing Hall instead of ANYONE sends a message that they are being "benched" because they just had their "day off".

in case you guys don't play yahoo fantasy, here's a link to an article by pianowski of fantasyguru.com about bush's fantasy value...

(same guy who was up on hardy last week)

[burniebrewer]

Sit down Albert.

[JoeH33]

Wooo Hooo! We got Pujols out!

[AJAY]

But the game is being televised in St. Louis. Why aren't we getting it? It still amazes me that MLB would rather have us watching other TV programs instead of our baseball team.

 

*sigh*

[jloos19]

That was such an amazing pitch by Bush. Pujols rarely strikes out.

[COOOOP]

I am surprised the first pitch in the 2nd inning wasn't a strike. (in the dirt)

[COOOOP]

doh, koskie gets thrown out trying to stretch the sinlge into a double

[Oldcity]

It's funny. I'm following on gametracker, and one of the strikes is shown out of the strike zone.

[CportBadger]

I just saw that too stevo, it was outside and about 2 inches higher than a pitch that was just called a ball.

To this day, I don't understand the MLB blackout rules. I know it's been discussed one million times, but why is the game not on here?

[COOOOP]

this ump has an insanely large strike zone

Hopefully we can stay patient at the plate, if we start hacking away at bad pitches we're dead.

[burniebrewer]

And Bush walks Edmonds despite the strike zone mentioned above.

[CportBadger]

6 out of 7 balls to start the inning.

[JoeH33]

Leadoff walk to Edmonds, and now a SB.....

[flosses like fossas]

yeesh

[Sheets4theHOF]

I'm so sick of brady trying to throw ppl out at home. Has he ever gotten anyone at home?

[AJAY]

Thanks a lot Brady Clark. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/mad.gif

[JoeH33]

This could get ugly quick if we're not careful

[JoeH33]

2-0 Cards on a Molina groundout

[Sheets4theHOF]

2-0, started with walking edmonds. Bush can't do that.

 

Marquis doesn't have good stuff tonight though. I think the crew has a good shot at coming back in this one.

[Harold Hutchison]

Koskie getting thrown out trying to extend a single...

 

That's where it started going down the drain.

[BrewCrewRising]

Why wouldn't Rickie try to tag the runner two feet in front of him? You get the lead runner and have the slower Molina on base.

[burniebrewer]

Geez, we're done batting already.

 

Congrats to Dave Bush on his first hit.
