6/4/05 Brewers (Santos) @ Dodgers (Houlton) 9:10 CST

[brewmann04]

maybe the brewers can do something here

[950opsLHcatcher]

Wait, isn't Overbay supposed to be the savior at first base, and we're supposed to trade Fielder?

 

Right.

[dogs with bees in their mo]

Hey buddy, if you want to get a timeout, try not calling for it in mid-delivery right after you whine about a call.

[brewmann04]

lyle needs some time off

[ja002h]

Nice job Vic. Hope you don't get another undeserved loss.

 

Hall needs to be 2nd or 3rd.

[batman]

Whoo, Victor got the job done. Nice.

 

 

I don't like the way Bill and Daron were so condescending toward Antonio Perez during that at-bat. It's not their job to be the "good behavior police" and make moral judgments about players on the field.

 

EDIT: This crap about an anonymous source saying that the Dodgers "lack heart" is hogwash, too. Totally unprofessional.

Maybe the home plate ump could just run the entire Dodger dugout, that would help us out a bit.

[dogs with bees in their mo]

ugh, of course nobody could get tossed without Daron rambling about Milton Bradley. Make it stop.http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/sick.gif

Antonio Perez had a very lengthy suspension in the minors a few years ago....does anyone remember what that was for? I thought it was for pushing an ump, but it may have been player/fight related.

[brettac1]

Hey, cool DLR still plays for the Brewers. Awesome!

[molitor fan]

oh-oh.....K.O.T.U.F (King of the unhittable Filth) looks a little out of sorts mechaically tonight.

[UWRyan428]

And my favorite young lefty (well, besides Cappy) still has those control problems. And why is he in the high 80's, low 90's?

[DHonks]

Jorge has no business in the big leagues. Yet I know we can't pass him through waivers. This sure is frustrating watching him throw ball after ball once again

[batman]

At some point Yost will learn that relievers pitching on five or six days rest tend to struggle. If it happens to the closer (Turnbow), it's definitely going to happen to the young guy with control issues.

 

C'mon, Jorge!

If he hasn't pitched in a week, can you really expect him to be sharp? He's started every five days in the minor leagues for the last four or five years, and suddenly his usage pattern is significantly different.

 

Instead of giving him high-leverage innings once every week, why not give him some lower leverage innings every few days?

That last pitch was down the middle...and a ball. The guy needs to get those calls!

Huh?

[badgerfan.tgf]

Looks like JDLR wants to take the suspense out of this one for the ninth.

[UWRyan428]

NO! Don't pull Jorge! He needs some confidence!

[UWRyan428]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but when Jorge gave up 3 runs in the 1/3 inning, he was relieved by Wise, who promptly gave up a HR. I dunno if it's a WISE move to set up the sequel.

[dogs with bees in their mo]

Who needs Eric Gagne when you have de la Rosa to come in and seal it for the Dodgers?http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/sick.gif

[batman]

If Wise is coming in now, why didn't he start the inning? I just don't get it. Jorge is used sparingly, and then we he *is* used its a very high-pressure situation and he's yanked after a walk and a weak grounder to second.

 

If I was Jorge, I'd be frustrated and confused.

[UWRyan428]

Hey! Enough of the ditching on my guy! Jorge is going to be a quality pitcher...QUALITY! Ned just has no clue what he has in the phenom.

[DHonks]

come on guys. You're treating Jorge like a victim. He's our second best lefty in the pen, and our 4th best lefty on the staff. The long men in the pen aren't supposed to get regular work. They're supposed to work hard to keep themselves ready whenever called upon. Lately Yost has tried getting him into these late inning situations to start an inning, because we haven't had starters struggling. If Jorge's role is the 6th inning, and our starters keep going 7 and 8, he'll never get work. The simple fact is that Jorge isn't doing his job.

[bsglorydays]

If he hasn't pitched in a week, can you really expect him to be sharp?

Inconsistent work is part of every reliever's job description, is it not?

 

By the way, the 3rd base ump just blew that call.

Edit: Maybe not. Close.

[UWRyan428]

You know if that were Moeller, it'd be bases loaded right now!
