7/28/05 Giants (Hennessey) @ Crew (Santos) 7:05 CST

So far we are up to the same junk as last night. Striking out a lot. Making a bum pitcher look like Roger Clemens. Butch's bats haven't manufactured a run in the last 13 innings.

nice play vic

Nice play Vic! Thankfully, the Brainerd interview with Alvarez spared us from Sutton telling us what a "great athlete" he is after that play.

[H0FFY]

I wonder if we will get a Nedly statement like yesterday: the loss was not too hard to stomach because the other pitcher was so good.

 

I love those one liners he comes up with.

[JoeH33]

Thats what we need to see from Victor, a quick 1-2-3 inning.

Its early. The Crew will get to this guy the 2nd time thru the lineup. If they don't, I'll eat my words.

[adambr2]

Nice quick inning for Santos. He needed that. Come ON guys. Ohka pitched great last night and STILL took the loss. Santos so far is pitching fine but you can't win without a run. When your #4 and #5 pitchers come through with good days, you NEED to take advantage of it!

Russel didnt get quite enough muscle on that onehttp://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/happy.gif

[JoeH33]

Yes! Way to start us off Russell!

[MadisonBrewerBlue]

sweet swing russ ...there goes the double no hitter

[NlGHTWlNG]

Why does Russell always have to come through and make everyone else look bad?

[adambr2]

There you go Muscle. DRIVE HIM IN!

[rluzinski]

Branyan doubles.... darn it. Now he'll be benched for the rest of the series.

[dogs with bees in their mo]

It's not going to help our bats if the ump calls strikes on pitches well inside like that 2nd one to Hardy.

[JoeH33]

grr.. JJ couldnt move him over, can't say I like our chances of getting Russ in now.

[bsglorydays]

If Hardy is incapable of hitting the ball on the ground to the right side, can he really be considered a future #2 hitter?

[H0FFY]

I wonder if we would snag a couple of extra games each year if our pitchers batted above .100. Vic is .031. I think Sheets is less???

 

Imagine if you had shortstop that was a .300 batter as opposed to a .200 batter. The same applies to the 9 batter I guess.

 

Why cant our pitchers at least hit .100.

[adambr2]

LOL...Santos with an 8 pitch at bat! Battling!

[MadisonBrewerBlue]

where was russell going

[JoeH33]

Come on! How many outs are we going to make on the basepaths!http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/mad.gif

[rluzinski]

There we go. I will personally be motivated to learn how to parse play by play data, so I can find out EXACTLY how many runners at second have made an out on the basepaths for the Crew. It has to be insane comapred to other teams.

[adambr2]

Oh gee, a baserunning mistake and we have all but squandered the leadoff double before the inning is even over. Can anyone say they are surprised?

[bsglorydays]

Vic is .031. I think Sheets is less???

 

If you consider .000 to be less than .031 (which you should), then yes.

[moofnelson]

If isn't poor fielding, then it's poor baserunning. What does this team work on in spring training?

 

 

Branyan's mistake cost the Brewers a run.

[MadisonBrewerBlue]

wow victor made it to third
