9.17.05 Brewers (Obie) At Astros (Backe) 6:05pm CST

Exactly. We have about 10 guys on the bench now, and Magruder is still pinch-hitting, ESPECIALLY from the left side? Unreal. Obermueller would have been a better option.

[GoodGod262]

Did the 'stache pick up Obermueller in a trade? Sometimes GM's feel the need to hang onto guys besides all the facts that point to the guy not panning out.

[rluzinski]

Can we just drop JDLR if there is no situation where he will pitch? Why even have him on the team?

Yeah, that burns me a little too. I mean give Cruz an AB, he's in town now. Or Durro, if you must. Ugh.

[ThePurpleStorm]

WOOO! Nelson Cruz is going to get an AB!

[ja002h]

Man, Cruz just got robbed.

[ThePurpleStorm]

God dang it. Nelson puts a huge charge in it and he's robbed. Blah. No luck tonight.

[Bikeage77]

Cruz got robbed like no tomorrow...Web Gem

[PietroSanGiacomo]

Either Houston just made about their 5th web-gem, or Uecker is pulling his "JUUUUUUUST a bit outside" bit from Major League.

 

Too bad. Sounds like Cruz smoked it.

[JET15]

Mercifully over

[Bikeage77]

I hate that train

[ThePurpleStorm]

Did anyone actually see the hit on mlbtv? How close to a homer was it?

[JET15]

No TV again tomorrow.

[ThePurpleStorm]

No TV again tomorrow = CRAP

[JET15]

We can all just gather here to speculate about what plays looked like. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/ohwell.gif

[ja002h]

How close to a homer was it?

 

I didn't get the impression it was deep, just crushed to a gap or something.

[ThePurpleStorm]

Ueker said that he hit it about 400 or so feet.

[hawing]

So. Looks like it was just as well I wasn't by a radio tonight. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/frown.gif My tagline and I are sad.

 

Is a 5th starter needed again over the next two weeks? Maybe the brass will finally be convinced to give someone else a try. (Reminds me of the Simpsons garbage man episode: "Someone else! Someone else!")

 

Though I doubt anyone else on this forum cares, the Wisconsin volleyball team whaled on Valparaiso tonight at the Field House. The Badgers are looking stronger than last year.

[Yaz]

So why can't the Brewers go to a 4 man rotation from here on out? Why is it so necessary to have a 5 man rotation? I was out watching the game last night and when I saw Obermueller was starting today's game I told a guy it's a sure loss.

 

Once the season is over I hope Melvin gives Obermueller his release. He just isn't that good.

 

Phew, they lost 7-0. I watched the Badgers game and only saw the score of the game scroll on the bottom. Egad, what a lost weekend.

Well one postive thing for sure we can Add Obbie name with Santos as two Ptchers who won"t be with The Brewers Next Year.Hopefully we see more Of Cruz giving Jenkinks some rest along with Prince getting a few Starts.

I think Glover will get a start at the 5th spot when that turn comes around.

 

I would have to say the brewers could have 1 or 2 spots opened in the Rotation next year depending on what they do with Ohka and i they try to make dana a Starter again

[DHarris34Phan]

Cruz's base hit that got robbed was on the Top 10 list on Sportscenter.

[Brewcrew255]

Will Cruz get a start today? It's aginst a left handed pitcher and Jenkins back has been killing him.
