Well bsglory we disagree. Seems that most don't like managing early in the game. I disagree. I think getting a lead is important and the guy following Kent was, well....no Jeff Kent. If you walk Kent you have a force play at each base and you have the best hitter out of the way. Just a difference in philosophy I guess. If you look at the series almost all of LA's runs are due to Kent and Drew. The rest of their lineup is like Milwaukee West and we shouldn't let those guys beat us time after time.

Wow 13 pitch AB by Geoff after going 0-2............ends up in a pop up tho...http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/eyes.gif

Well that steal atempt by Lee looked no worse than a tie and second, in slow motion. Of course, the ump has superhuman vision and can see better than me in regular speed.

[bsglorydays]

Well bsglory we disagree.

Yeah, I'm not opposed to walking Kent early in the game. I just don't like doing it with 2 outs. At some point you have to get the best hitters out. Just a difference in philosophy as you said.

[Anders34]

Lyle is OOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-verated

[rluzinski]

Obbie in BIG trouble in the third. Not a good feeling here.

[JoeH33]

So nice of Obie to walk Perez giving Drew and Kent someone to drive in......

[bsglorydays]

shelmark,

 

I'm starting to come around to your way of thinking all of a sudden.

 

Get an out!

[dogs with bees in their mo]

Looks like the real Obermueller has come back to replace the imposter we saw a few weeks ago.http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/sick.gif

[tomwopat]

i hate jeff kent.

[shelmark]

I still believe that Lyle Overbay is a lousy defensive player. Why no discussion about catching the line drive. He is, after all, a major league player Bill.

[rluzinski]

O, yum, Glover warming up. JUST the man to bail Obbie out!

[bsglorydays]

Probably a poor choice in RF. If he lets it drop, one run scores and there are runners on the corners. Of course, its easy to say sitting by my computer watching the game on TV.

[bsglorydays]

I think you can go get him now.

[rluzinski]

Well, look on the bright side; we don't have to waste away the rest of our Sunday watching the Brewers anymore.

 

Bill Schroeder is a complete moron. He's talking about "playing the %" by pitching around Werth. Apparently the % entails seeing what he did in his last AB.

 

intentional walk/wild pitch/Run scores.

 

I love the Brewers

[tomwopat]

"i don't believe what i just saw"

[shelmark]

Who is the next #5 starter for the Brewers? Does Ben get another chance? Eveland? Parra? Maddux seems to work well with the lefties, maybe we give Dana the call. I just think Obie and Glover are done at #5.

[dogs with bees in their mo]

I don't think Jenkins diving for that ball was a bad play. Both runners might have scored anyway if he let it drop.

 

Obermueller throwing a pitch out to the backstop, now that is a bad play.

[endaround]

Not to mention that every single hitter (except Jenkins) gets better when the bases are loaded.

[thebruce44]

Im watching on MLBtv.com and the announcer is laughing at us...that was a joke Obie.

[AJAY]

It's gonna be a long afternoon http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/sick.gif

[rluzinski]

Good to see the #5 starting pitching slot is turning into an automatic lose like every other year.

 

Fun game for 2/3 of an inning atleast.

[PeaveyFury]

I think the spot will go back to Glover unless he pitches like crap here, which he probably will.

 

Otherwise, I wouldn't be shocked to see de la Rosa get a start in the future, or lil Ben to get recalled.

[endaround]

So is the Obie as a starter thing done yet? Or do we ignore the fact he couldn't go three innings again because he pitched three good games over a season and a half?

[SheetsCyYoung04]

I would love to give Dana the call. However, if he struggles it might not do wonders for his confidence.
