8/6/2004: Brewers (Sheets) @ Marlins (Burnett)

[RoseBowlMtg]

Wow 7-9 with 4 HR's against that pitcher.

 

Clutch!

[ja002h]

Grieve sucks. Obviously Yost is a genious for batting him 4th.

[pitchleague]

that was nice. Clutch!

 

Overbay will likely be robbed of a hit as the official scorer will rule that an error!http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/tongue.gif

[ja002h]

Course if Lyle were 3 and Jenks 4, that'da been a 3run homer. I still can't fathom the reasoning.

[DuWayne Steurer]

I'm in

 

Grieve Sucks

C'mon Hoffy, that's ridiculously easy!

 

Ned on Helms 2-3, 2R,1BB night (thus far): "I knew he'd pull it together sooner or later. He's had to battle through a tough time with the injury, but he's such a hard worker, it was just a matter of time. I'm sure this is the start of a nice hot streak."

[batman]

"The guys have been struggling a little bit at the plate, but the great thing about baseball is that a slump can end at any time. Today our guys went out there, took a good approach, didn't try to do too much, and good things happen. Now we've just got to build on this and keep battling, keep working hard day in and day out, giving it 100%, and good things will happen."

-- Nedley Yost

 

I'm going to win. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

 

EDIT: ja002h is going to win, actually. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

Did anyone see the look on Nedley's face when he was talking to Grieve in the dugout after the HR? He looked shocked, like he couldn't understand what happened. It looked like he was thinking, "The pitcher was a lefty, and you're a lefty, how'd that happen? It's not possible!"

[tyguy20204]

Yost and his statistical analysis team calculated that the fifth spot will lead off more innings than the other spots Overbay could occupy.

[ja002h]

Oooh, Batman also with a strong effort. The suspense is gonna kill me tonight.http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

[DuWayne Steurer]

Why, exactly, does Yost want Overbay, our top RBI guy, leading off innings?

[ja002h]

I know he did actually say that tyguy, but it's such a ludicrous statement. It's like he's a caveman holding a rock telling you he bought a brand new computer.

 

edit: referring to the sight of Yost claiming to use stats.

[ja002h]

I imagine the coaching visit went something like this:

 

Rudy, if you don't strike out the pathetically weak bottom of this batting order, you better find another ride home.

[tyguy20204]

I'm just telling you his reasoning. I don't agree with it.

[ja002h]

Yeah, I know. Didn't mean to imply you were defending him, ty.

 

edit: Just noticed it's tYguy. Always just read it as tv. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

[H0FFY]

Doesnt the leadoff guy (1 spot) lead off more innings than any other?

 

And since Overbay is the only guy who can bat, wherever you do put him will change the predicted outcome.

[ja002h]

Kinda sad that I just now realized that Grieve's homer means we're WINNING! Cmon Vizdog.

 

edit: come ON Vizdog!!

[pitchleague]

criminies! Vizcaino looks terrible so far

[DuWayne Steurer]

This is getting ugly (again) C'mon Vizzy, git-r-done!

[batman]

Does anybody know the story behind the relief pitchers' new shoes? There are a handful of them that just recently started sporting these reeboks like Luis is wearing... black with the "swoosh"-style Reebok thing. Did the Brewers' sign a contract with Reebok that I didn't know about? Did one of the rookies have to buy everyone new shoes?

 

I don't know why I noticed, but I did. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

 

I hope Vizco is okay... that ball hit him pretty hard in the ribs/back.

 

~Bill

[pitchleague]

BIG out!

[DuWayne Steurer]

Well, he worked out of it.

 

But where was the slider?

[ja002h]

It's Danny time.

[pitchleague]

I don't know about the slider. Maybe no confidence in it. Didn't work in the bullpen. Knew Bennett couldn't block it.

 

My money's on the last one.
