" So is a Weeks a huge improvement over Spivey or are we just taking the lumps of a young player?"

 

 

I don't know....I'm just hoping he learns how to handle off-speed pitches and hit a curve ball. Then we can start talking about the potential he has long-term.

Rollin, Rollin, Rollin, Rollin

Keep Rollin, Rollin, Rollin, Rollin

Man, this offense is starting to get very depressing again! Let's hope we aren't in the midst of another 7 game losing streak, like we've done twice already this season. C'mon boys, get the hitting shoes on again. Suppan is not that good!

[DuluthBrew]

Dear Shea Stadium,

 

We would like our offense back!

 

Thank You,

 

Milwaukee Brewers

[madtownbrew]

What happened to Brady?? Did he get hurt bad? This is not good news.

[bucksman4]

It could be worse....we could be Cubs fans (who ARE actually dealing with a 7-game losing streak).

[brewers19]

For everyone wondering, Brady took out Luna when he tried to break up the double-play. Both were down for a while, but they seem to be okay and staying in the game.

 

EDIT: Okay, Brady's not staying in the game.

[YutakaEnatsu]

Weeks will still be the 'second coming', don't worry about that. He's only 22, just having his first slump. I think within 2 years he's going to be a major star, and I'm not the only one.

 

Edit: Looks like Magruder's in CF now; no mo' Brady...http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/mad.gif

I'm trying to follow along online. I see Magruder is now in CF. Is Brady injured?

[naivin]

Sounds to me like Brady just got hi sbell rung. Day off tomorrow...getting the day off today as well might be just the thing for him.

[bucksman4]

"but they seem to be okay and staying in the game."

 

Nope. All Star phenom Chris Magruder replaces Clark in CF.

 

If this is long term, we're screwed. No way Chris Magruder should even be in the bigs, let alone start everyday in CF.

[MadisonBrewerBlue]

another 1-2-3 inning for sheets

[RyDogg66]

The depth of this team amazes me. How we have managed to get by carrying just 4 OFs this year is beyond me.

[bucksman4]

"I think within 2 years he's going to be a major star, and I'm not the only one."

 

I've never seen a major star who couldn't hit a curve ball...

[MadisonBrewerBlue]

did the offense go on vacation this series

[naivin]

Top 3 in the lineup - 2 for 28 in this series. Tough to figure out why the Brewers aren't scoring any runs.

[brewers19]

Another injury?

 

Wow, Jenkins it really drilling Suppan with the baseball.

[madtownbrew]

Dear, Brady, Rickie, Lyle, Carlos, Geoff, Bill, Damian, & JJ:

 

Jeff Suppan is not that good!

 

Sincerely,

 

A frustrated Brewer fan

[naivin]

Gimmie a break. Suppan is at 54 pitches through only 3 innings and Lee, Jenkins, step up there and make him throw a grad total of 2 pitches each. How about making him workk just a little?

[MadisonBrewerBlue]

is anyone going to step up in this game ........ besides ben

[TheBwaz]

I predict a "Fire Wynegar" thread within the next 24 hours.

 

The 5th? This game may be over in 2 hours. Guess these guys are looking forawrd to the home off day.

 

Edit: I will not start that thread. No cheating.

[brewers19]

Hey, give Jenkins a break, he's drilled Suppan with two line drives already. What more do you want from him?

[MoneyballMan]

Wonderful. This game should be over by 3pm. Maybe I should try to run out and get a late 18 in. Better than listening to this game! Offense is pretty AWOL at the moment. At least Ben's pitching great, but it would be a shame to waste it again.....

[DuluthBrew]

If you Suppan gets through the 5th, look for LaRussa to go Flores, Reyes, Tavarez, and Isringhausen for the 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th.

[ChrisW42660]

I'm still trying to follow the game just by the thread here. Cripes (I assume you can't swear on the board) I know Brady's in a hitting slump, but I don't want him hurt. He's really valuable to the team, plus I like him.

 

Did we just see "Cardinals" and flip out? Do we have any hits at all?
