6/29/05 - Brewers (Sheets) @ Cubs (Wood) 1:20 CST

Now we'll get to see the difference between the Cubs and Brewers. We get our lead off man on in the 8th inning and fail to score, and I bet the Cubs will find a way to drive in Cedeno after the lead off walk. Hope like hell I'm wrong, but i doubt it.

[nsimps]

Why wouldn't you bunt in that situation? You move the only run you need to take the lead into scoring position and have the middle of your order a chance to win the game.

[Cooper]

I don't dislike Neifi Perez as much as I did last week.

[WV Brew]

Thank you C. Patt and Perez! Now the walk to Lee.

[RyDogg66]

2 outs, D. Lee up..here is the game pretty much.

[AJAY]

Do you work around Lee or go after him?

[GPieters]

RyDogg...he was being sarcastic about our order coming up.

[madtownbrew]

Oh crap, here comes Derrek Lee.

[DuluthBrew]

too scared to watch gameday this ab

[GPieters]

Full count...

[ja002h]

Phew.

[GPieters]

Got him...yes!!!

 

Jenkins, for the love of all things sacred...DO SOMETHING!!!

 

(note: other than K, of course)

[The Mexican Weez]

Sometimes these are the best words ever:

 

In play, out(s) recorded

[RyDogg66]

In play, out(s) recorded.

 

Thank God.

I am really starting to develop a man crush for Matt Wise! Dare I say.....I heart Matt Wisehttp://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/happy.gif

[Tailgat0r76]

On a side note; we dropped Lee's batting average from .387, to .385 today! Woo http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/tongue.gif

Nice job by Wise as usual. I wonder who Prince will PH for in the 9th? My guess is nobody.

[Cooper]

Gotta believe that if someone gets on, Prince gets to hit for the pitcher.

[steve267268]

If someone gets on.. i think we will be seeing Fielder

[RyDogg66]

yeah, either Prince or Durrington.

Like I have said before, I am against formula managing, but I can see why you bunt in that situation.

 

I can also see why you don't. You give a team a free out when you haven't done anything offensively in the game, and you virtually assure that the bat will be taken out of El Caballo's hands later in the inning, because the Cubs will either pitch around or flat-out walk him if he comes up in a meaningful spot.

[Jacob008]

Hm, working Jenkins low and in. That's strange...
