8/18/05 - Brewers (Ohka) @ Astros (Clemens)

I would say start the kids. Let fielder, hart, hardy, weeks get a couple at bats each against one of the best(if not the best) pitchers to ever play still at the top of his game. If we get shutout or even no-hit, so be it.

Or, do what gives you the best chance to win the game. Giving guys a chance to hit against Roger Clemens, simply for the sake of giving them a chance to hit against Roger Clemens really doesn't do much for me.

[mpepy05]

And I assume you still believe we have a chance to grab the WC. To each their own I guess.

 

edit: .500 is nice. But most of the time, it doesn't pay the bills.

[mpepy05]

Also, since houston's offense is reeling somewhat. If we need a key hit later in the game, we can go to the guys who are "proven."

[Weirdos19]

We don't have these guys here to sit on the bench. IMO, Hall should sit tonight. He chases pitches all of the time. I can see Clemens whiff him 3 or 4 times tonight.

 

My lineup tonight?

 

Weeks

Hardy

Jenkins

Lee

Fielder

Hart

Branyan

Miller

 

R-R-L-R-L-R-L-R

 

That's about Ned's speed.

What about UP-UP-DOWN-DOWN and SELECT-START?

[Getpaddled]

up down up down left right left right select start.

 

code for the Nin. Turtles for reg. Nintendo

 

I think... been a while

[MadisonBrewerBlue]

Does anyone else find this guys name funny. He is the first Japanese goalie to sign an NHL contract today with the LA Kings.

[Bucky Rules]

Tell me you made that up in photo-shop. No way is that guy's name Fukufuji.

That would be Contra for NES. 30 lives.

 

Word.

That's only for 2 player mode. It's Up-Up-Down-Down-Left-Right-Left-Right-B-A-B-A-Start if you're flying solo.

[gbpacker40]

And dont forget if you use the two player mode both of you have to move at relatively the same speed.

[BuckyTuba]

my dream lineup:

 

weeks 2b

overbay rf

lee lf

fielder 1b

hall ss

jenkins cf (who cares, let him try it)

branyan 3b

miller c

 

R-L-R-L-R-L-L-R

[bucksman4]

Hall for Hardy.

 

Once again, Hardy cannot hit.

Ooh! Another one for the condescension thread in Off-Topic!

[M Skjellyfetti]

well....you didn't get your wish.

 

1&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp Rickie Weeks, 2B&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp Willy Taveras, CF

2&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp Chris Magruder, CF&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp Chris Burke, 2B

3&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp Lyle Overbay, 1B&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp Lance Berkman, 1B

4&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp Carlos Lee, LF&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp Morgan Ensberg, 3B

5&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp Geoff Jenkins, RF&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp Jason Lane, RF

6&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp Bill Hall, SS&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp Orlando Palmeiro, LF

7&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp Russell Branyan, 3B&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp Adam Everett, SS

8&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp Damian Miller, C&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp Brad Ausmus, C

9&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp Tomo Ohka, P&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp Roger Clemens, P

 

(from CBSSportsline.com)

If I were Ned, CF and SS would for sure be different, maybe 1B. But I'm not a major league manager, so I guess you gotta trust the man.

[ja002h]

Just so everyone knows, the Astros are no longer leading the wild card race.

 

Hey, we still control our 2nd place destiny!

[bucksman4]

Oh sorry....I must've been hallucinating when I looked at his BA of .203.

 

He can hit....he can hit really, really, well.

 

What am I thinking??? http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/eyes.gif

[brettac1]

Hall really doesn't hit that well, either, unless you consider a .313 OBP hitting well.

[BuckyTuba]

ouch, magruder in the 2 hole

See, a variation of that one is already on there. You gotta be more creative.

[ja002h]

Yay, lefty Magruder against Clemens. At least a 3-hit day for sure.

 

Puke.

[bucksman4]

"Hall really doesn't hit that well, either, unless you consider a .313 OBP hitting well."

 

I feel a lot better knowing this guy could get into one and not just hit nubber groundouts to SS like his counterpart JJ does. And the 15 HR's don't hurt either.

[ja002h]

I must have hallucinated his horribly slow start that skews his BA.

[brettac1]

This is pathetic. Man, I can't stand Ned Yost. That's all. I said it, and I'm sticking to it.
