09/01/2004 - Brewers (Santos) vs. Pirates (Vogelsong)

[DHonks]

Good to see Scotty driving the ball again. For much of the season he tried going away with every pitch, and forgot that driving one to right or right-center is still good hitting technique

[Duff Man21]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this Vogelsong's first full year since since Tommy John?

 

People should relax a bit with him. If he sucks next year, then worry.

[stkmtimo]

After Tommy John they said he had "serious mechanical flaws", I think he's since worked them out but he has been very inconsistent this year. He has solid stuff, but will need to prove himself down the stretch to earn himself a spot in the starting rotation next year. He's getting another chance because of the Benson trade so we'll see what he can do.

Ginter heating up right off of the DL.

 

Alas, I digress, Keith Ginter sucks.

[DuWayne Steurer]

Holy Schneikies, what was the HANG TIME on that flyball by Branyan?

[DHonks]

Great to see Keith driving it to right-center. Haven't seen him do that much at all this year since he's been trying to pull everything all year

[AJAY]

Did anyone realize the Craig Counsell only has 20 RBI this season?

 

(Don't you just love this team??)

[DHonks]

Gotta Say, I think Ned pulled Victor a tad early...hopefully I'm wrong

[hawing]

Vizdog has a scoreless eighth? Wha???

[ja002h]

It's Danny Time. How bout 2 in a row?

 

edit: You GOTTA be kidding. 2-out homer. Craig Wilson. Tie. Blown save.

[batman]

Craig Wilson is freaking good.

 

~Bill

[DuWayne Steurer]

Another blown save.

 

hooray

[stkmtimo]

Dang...clutch anyone? There goes a Santos win and a Kolb save.

[AJAY]

Ouch. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/sick.gif

[hawing]

Can we arrange for an intervention to cut Craig Wilson's mullet? Maybe it would sap his strength, a la Samson.

 

Geez. Which one is the 'disgusted' emoticon?

[AJAY]

Will Krynzel pinch hit ???

[Harold Hutchison]

I'm beginning to HATE the Pirates more than I hate the Cubs.

[homer]

Way to go, Kkkkkrynzel.

[stkmtimo]

Yes and he struck out.

 

Tim

[DHonks]

Gotta say that David's stance looks better than it did last fall in Arizona. Looks very relaxed, almost like Griffey or Troy O'Leary (albeit he's much slimmer). Kind of surprised in his first big league at bat they didn't ask him to try to bunt for a hit.

[AJAY]

Well, at least we got to see him take some swings.

[DuWayne Steurer]

Ok, I know people are going to say "Get of Sutton's Back, he's not that bad!" blah blah blah!

 

"The Brewers are finding ways to win, hopefully they can find a way to win this one tonight."

 

They snapped a TWELVE GAME LOSING STREAK just yesterday Darron. I hardly think that qualifies as finding ways to win. One win in the last 2 weeks. Ughhhhhh.

[stkmtimo]

There goes the tied ballgame.

O'Leary's page at baseball-reference.com:

Hmm.... some decent power numbers. Some of the similar players were Mel Hall and Bernard Gilkey.

 

An interesting comparison as well: Former Brewer Sixto Lezcano.

Here is who I think Krynzel is comparable to. Some speed, but there's a lot of power.

Typical sterling outing by Bennett
