Now if only Yost will replace Clayton with Bill Hall...

[lend d money]

slamotto, I was going to vent my frustrations at length after reading the lineup and before seeing your post. This is utterly ridiculous! I guess it was that fifth plate appearance that did him in. I hate it when a guy is 4-4 and makes an out when the outcome is no longer in jeopardy.

Its time for drastic measures... there is absolutely no rational reason to play royce clayton... Of course, the rest of the county tries to tell us that there isn't a rational reason for being a brewers fan.... ah well... guess it comes with the territory...

[Jose Cardenal]

Maybe the Brewers just want to keep Hall on Toby's P50 list a little longer. He is getting close to having to many ML AB's.

[homer]

It's not utterly ridiculous given what Clayton has done recently . He's something like 12 for his last 27 (10 for his last 19) and he had a clutch hit with two outs yesterday. I think Hall should play too, but it's not something we should get all charged up about.

[rluzinski]

Even if Clayton was OK, which he's not, I would STILL want Hall to be playing. What is the point of having his old ass out there? Even the White Sox were smart enought o put him on the bench

[rluzinski]

Hmmmmm.. I can taste those hamburgers now!

[monkeyploop]

how many games do we gotta win in a row?

[Harold Hutchison]

Wow... 6.2 IP, 0 earned runs, 1 hit, 1 walk...

 

I knew he'd be a good pickup - but I was expecting to have to TRADE for him. Instead, we got him for nothing more than pro-rated elague minimum.

 

I'm ready toput him into the 2004 rotation, folks.

 

On our way to 8 straight wins. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/happy.gif

[homer]

Let's win this one first.

[Harold Hutchison]

Well, we are two outs away.

 

C'mon, Doug Davis!!!

 

EDIT:

 

ONE MORE OUT!

 

EDIT TWO:

 

REDS ON THEIR FINAL STRIKE!

 

EDIT THREE: Sean Casey with a double.

 

EDIT FOUR:

BOOK IT! THE STREAK IS AT EIGHT!!!

 

Doug Davis with a COMPLETE GAME five-hitter, allowing only one unearned run!! His ERA drops from 4.85 to 4.29! In a total of 19.2 IP with the Brewers, he has allowed only THREE (3) earned runs.

 

I think we have our #2 starter, folks.

[Iron Chef Napalm]

WOOOOOHOOOOO!!!!

 

 

(Least productive post ever)

[guy2058]

If I'm not mistaken (which I might be) his only starts have come against the Pirates and the Reds, so it may be a little too early to declare him the second starter. I do agree though, that he has been outstanding so far.

[Harold Hutchison]

Next game is Wayne Franklin against Seth Etherton. Wayne's been red-hot lately, so we have a good shot at winning this one.

 

The last game of the series - Wes Obermueller vs. Paul Wilson - is probably Cincy's best chance to avoid a sweep. But we've been on a roll - let's finish this thing!

Ok, Doug Davis has allowed only 3 earned runs in 19 + innings as a Brewer. What about the 5.02 E.R.A. in the 400 + innings he's pitched in the majors before this 3 game stretch? Clancy, you're jumping the gun here man.

 

We're ALL excited about how the Brewers are playing, to be sure, but proclaiming this pre 03' Glendon Rusch clone our # 2 starter???

[JimH5]

Nice win for the Brewers. . .I wasn't able to watch the game tonight. But why did Ned leave him in for 126 pitches? That's just plain abusive. . .

[Harold Hutchison]

Geoff and Wes with the offense again.

 

http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

 

Wow. This club is on a roll. We've also EQUALLED last season's win total.

[rluzinski]

Just FOUR more wins!!!!!!!!!

 

Two against the reds, and 2 against the ****** Cubs!!!!

 

no swears, please... -brian

 

Edit: I thought It would get bleeped automatically..... sorry about that.

[Harold Hutchison]

Well, I might re-evaluate if he starts to struggle, but right now, he has shown no signs of doing so just yet.

 

Also, his prior 400+ IP were in the AL, which has the DH.

[CoopTheGreatest]

Doug Davis????? Is this some kind of joke? Or can we go to back to the Ranger scrap heap for more?

[DuWayne Steurer]

Clancy

 

While I hope Davis keeps pitching well, obviously, I think 19 innings is too small a sample to guess how he'll perform in the future. I WILL advocate giving him a legit shot at the rotation next year, barring a meltdown this september.

[bork]

When's the last time the Brewer's had 5 difference pitchers with a complete game in one season?
