6/14/05 Brewers (Ohka) @ DRays (Fossum) 6:15 CST

[bjkrautk]

Didn't see a thread yet, so I started today's.

 

Tonight we find out just what we've recieved for Junior Spivey. Plus, it's another night to watch the kids play (including Prince v. LHP this time around), against a team they should be able to beat.

 

So, will Fossum no-hit the Brewers, or will the bats show up tonight?

[RyDogg66]

Fossum v. Ohka in the match-up of former Red Sox prospects.

[jwaltz]

Tomo Ohka. Our T.O. Lets go T.O. Make us proud.

[AJ Love]

as per usual, I'm looking forward seeing Rickie Weeks play, the kid looks like a future superstar to me... and it'll be fun to watch Prince hit... no idea what to expect from Ohka

[spadepunk13]

I still haven't been able to watch Weeks hit on tv yet. Was in the car on both Saturday and Sunday and had to work last night. I have softball tonight, so I'm hoping the game will still be on when I get home. I'm excited to see what all of the fuss is about.

[Monty]

Will Bill ask Ohka about atom bombs in the pre-game?

[AJ Love]

LMAO Monty

I'll tell you what. When all the people in the minors said that his bat speed is phenominal, they weren't kidding. Whenever he gets a hit, the ball screams off the bat like greased lightning. Atleast if the Brewers are going to suck, I can look forward to seeing him play.

[BrewCityUnit]

Everyone want some good news.

 

GEOFF JENKINS IS NOT PLAYING TONIGHT

 

Our chances have just improved

[brewersClone]

you would hope that a 23 at bat hitless streak you give the guy a night off

Lineups:

 

Milwaukee

B. Clark cf

R. Weeks 2b

L. Overbay 1b

[brettac1]

That's actually not too bad of a lineup.

[Joeflyers]

No Prince?

[Dmiles23]

Yost said that Prince was called up to DH against the 4 right handers the team will face in interleague play. So with Fossom on the mound, no Prince.

[Mike Felder]

Nice to see Damian Miller back in the lineup.

 

And maybe we'll see Prince as a PH later in the game.

[AJ Love]

Yost is a buffoon then. He needs to be fired... If you bring Prince up, you start him all 6 games... will Yost actually platoon Fielder when Fielder is a full-time major leaguer?

 

Thats the last straw, I'm jumpin on the "fire Yost" bandwagon

 

that said, I'm glad Jenkins is sitting

 

for the record, I'd sit Overbay and play Helms at 1B and start Prince Fielder

[Diskono]

I don't think missing two games will hurt Prince's development that much. Helms give us a better chance to win.

[PrimetimeHater]

I hope you're joking about this being the last straw...there are a lot of reasons to not like Yost, but I don't think that this is one of them.

[AJ Love]

Fielder just missed hitting a HR last night, he hit that last pitch a country mile in the air

 

I don't disagree with Helms starting, he should, but Overbay should be sitting

[AJ Love]

Primetime: I don't like how Yost screws with young player's heads... Fielder is not a player you platoon

[mls4]

I'm hoping the Brewers knock out Fossum early- then Fielder can come in and hit against their bullpen.

[RoseBowlMtg]

AJ start the guy who saw a total of 8 pitches in 4 AB's and "almost" hit a HR vs. a guy who "hit" a HR? I say Prince will get 2 AB's and this is a great lineup. Maybe Yost is a bit upset about plate discipline and is making an early point to a young man stating he doesn't start no matter what. Prove yourself young man. Or....maybe Helms is hot!

[1992casey]

After last night, I feel like starting to nitpick everything Bill Schroeder says. Bill Hall is 25, not 23. That separates him quite a bit from Hardy, Weeks, and Fielder.

[dogs with bees in their mo]

Yeah he's dumb, but at least Bill just gave us some great grilling tips.

[brettac1]

Man, Braindead's sunburn looks sweet.
