Jenkins hit a homer in his first AB. Didn't he?

[JoeH33]

Alright runners at the corners, now lets at least get a sac fly here, this is getting frustrating.

[Member]

Sacfly Damian, 1-0 Brew Crew.

[bsglorydays]

It's Sexson with speed?

 

An incredibly weak-looking version of Sexson, maybe.

 

Damian gets the Brewers on the board!

[danzig6767]

Yea you would think with the long strides,Hart would have trouble getting up to high speed so quick.

[slack00]

If Sheets gets a hit here, this game is over.

[steve267268]

So Hart's the fastest Brewer if Cook was the best prospect in baseball. Now i see the sarcasm.

[Member]

BIG BEN! Whoooohooooo!

[DHarris34Phan]

Sheets! http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/roll.gif

[rluzinski]

1 run in 4 innings in Colorado and I'm happy.

 

Even Sheets can get a hit in Colorado!

[naivin]

Brewer are likely to go nuts on this guy next inning - if not this one, as Sheets got a hit as I was typing that.http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/eek.gif

[RyDogg66]

Wow, so Colorado really IS a hitters park...CONGRATS BEN!!

[bsglorydays]

You gotta be kidding me! I didn't think Ben was gonna get one this year. Way to help your own cause Big Ben. Rickie... get Russ home.

[slack00]

Cook has no chance now. He know's he can't even get a lifetime .050 hitter out.

[striders3]

Sheets and Branyan should be our 1-2 hitters.

[DHarris34Phan]

Here comes a Rickie Weeks ya-ya.

[DHonks]

So who was the last Brewer to hit a HR in his first ML at-bat?

 

no idea if any have. as his first hit, I'm pretty sure it was Jenkins. Wasn't it in SF?

[JoeH33]

Haha......Ben finally gets his first hit of the season! I told you he came to play tonight!http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/happy.gif

[AJAY]

It still feels like we should have more than one run so far.

[brewerjamie15]

I wonder what humorous things Ben is going to say about getting his first hit of the year.

[RoseBowlMtg]

Benny's OPS is now .070 this year!http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/roll.gif

[bsglorydays]

Does anyone else feel like the catcher Ardoin is hurting Cook's cause by jumping out of the catcher's box on pitches that are near the corner? This ump is calling everything close a strike, yet Ardoin is jumping out of his box on everything that is a couple inches off the plate.

[rluzinski]

An incredibly weak-looking version of Sexson, maybe.

 

Like an anti-steroid Sexson. Seriously, Hart looks like an Olympic swimer or something.

From the Media Guide:

 

GEOFF JENKINS - CAREER HIGHLIGHTS

 

1998: ...made a spectacular Major League debut on April 24 at San Francisco going 2-4 with a single, a homer, two runs scored and an RBI... became the first player in Brewers history to homer in his Major League debut.. was the second player in Milwaukee baseball history (Chuck Tanner, 1955 Milwaukee Braves) to accomplish the feat...

[brewerjamie15]

Bill hall is the last guy to make an HR his first Major League hit as a Brewer
