08/21/2004 - Brewers (Obermueller) vs. Phillies (Padilla)

[stkmtimo]

Nice to see Ben Grieve take a nice swing and get a single out of it. Isn't that his first hit after the injury that's been bothering him?

They should have kept in Obermueller to hit!

[Vgmastr]

Runners at the corners and Magruder PH for Obie. Is he that much of an upgrade to use a player off the bench this early? Why not let Obie hit then replace him?

 

ETA: And the second I hit "Post" Magruder drives in the run.

Wes Obermueller's OPS - 769

Chris Magruder's OPS - 740

 

I'm just saying.

For anyone tuning in, who is going to come on to pitch? I have a feeling it is Bennett... am I right?

 

~Bill

[Vgmastr]

Overbay is the man.

[stkmtimo]

Batman - Travis Phelps is warming up.

 

It's sooo nice to see runs being scored.

 

Tim

[Vgmastr]

Branyan is also the man.

[stkmtimo]

Another run...nice going Russ!

We're abusing Padilla like a government mule. Beautiful.

[davego]

score?

[batman]

6-1 after 5.

 

~Bill

[stkmtimo]

6-1 Crew is up. Travis Phelps is pitching.

 

Tim

[davego]

thanks, russell must be doing some damage?

[stkmtimo]

He hit a rocket past Thome which drove in a run. Struck out twice before that.

 

Tim

[batman]

He's 1-for-3 with 2 Ks and an RBI double.

Nice job by Travis Phelps rebounding from the poor outing in his debut. Now let's get some more runs... 'cause that's what offenses do! http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

I'm coming up with .851 OPS for Wes (.370 OBP + ..481 SLG).

I went to write a post on minor league board when we had guys 1st and 3rd 1 out. I checked back to see if somehow scored a run... and we scored FIVE. Wow.

 

Obermeuller shows me he is just not there yet. Next year at Indy as a late developing starter will be good for him and Indy.

 

I like that Branyan seems to be able to recognise strikes and balls (unlike Jenkins). Russ Ks swinging at strikes and he walks NOT swinging at balls... and every once in a while, when he connects... wow. He is a good ball player. The best quote I heard re Russ was from a manager of another team I think. He said if Russ got 500 at bats every year, he would hit 50 home runs each year. Heck, I really hope we have Russ around for a couple of years at least. He is only 28 now, and seems he has been around forever. I would be interested if anyone studies how high K sluggers 'age'. Mabye they are good until 35?

[stkmtimo]

Encouraging to see Ben Grieve absolutely kill two of the pitches just thrown to him by Amaury Telemaco. Too bad they were foul.

He came into the game batting .346/.423 ... I didn't account for his double.

Well, he has been playing (at least in the minors) for 10 years now, I think. And has been in and out of majors since '98.

Another small sample!! http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

[stkmtimo]

Well, that sucks.

Geoff Jenkins is an idiot! He runs off Podsednik on the flyout and then makes a WILD throw to Bennett at homeplate. Granted, a run didn't score but Jenkins hould have let Scott take it.
