8/3/2004: Brewers (Capuano) vs. Mets (Leiter)

Ned Yost has the shades on.

 

That's because our future's so bright...he's gotta wear shades.

[7rebmun]

I just tuned in, and I saw 18 at first base.

 

Am I drunk? Dead? What's the deal here?

 

I guess Yost ran out of spots to put Overbay so he just took him out of the lineup. He did say we were running out of options.http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/roll.gif

[7rebmun]

I just can't stop laughing. When does Jenkins get a freakin' day off? I'm just asking . . .

 

 

Wow, this is just so absurd . . .

[ja002h]

Perhaps you're joking, but Yost had stated he wanted to give Lyle 2 days off in a row. No other reason that that.

[7rebmun]

Trent Durrington . . . my god, in the two hole? He's got to have incriminating photos of someone, now the only question is: Who?

[7rebmun]

I didn't know he stated that he wanted to give Overbay a few days off. I completely understand that as I believe he's in a bit of a funk, might be tired from playing 100+ games for the first time ever . . .

 

But seriously, I could see giving Pods a week off and Jenkins I'd like to see take the rest of the season off.

[bucksbeat]

Well. Durrington gets on. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/eyes.gif

[burniebrewer]

Trent with the hit and now Jenks. 2 on, 1 out. And Overbay has the day off. All the luck.

[7rebmun]

This is what I like to call the Mieske factor. As soon as I make fun of a guy for sucking, or question a lineup, those players will do well.

 

I named it after Mieske after constantly ripping on the guy everytime I saw him playing in person and he'd end up doubling and going 2x3 or something.

[ja002h]

No doubt that guarantees he'll start for the next week.

[bucksbeat]

It's pretty safe to say that Jenkins is getting hot.

[JaNelson52]

Great...Durrington's probably assures him of starting for the rest of the week.

[ja002h]

Cmon Jason, I posted that a full MINUTE before you did http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/tongue.gif

[burniebrewer]

What the hell? Inning over.

[7rebmun]

Good idea Ned, Good idea.

[ja002h]

Nice Jenks, way to be awake. Sheesh.

[RoseBowlMtg]

Almost, good job by Durrington and Helms running 15 of the 18 pitches. Jenkins gets a hit but only one pitch and Pods two and out. That should have been a 25+ inning.

[scoop53714]

Jenks takes off on a hit and run and gets doubled up and somehow its HIS fault? Its bad luck. It has nothing to do with Jenkins not paying attention. There is no way he could have reversed field and got back to the bag on a hit and run.

[ja002h]

Sorry, the way Bob called it on the radio it sounded otherwise. He said something about Jenks "never turning around" + charging for 3rd...

[burniebrewer]

Clark with another "duck snort" down the RF line. Man, he got all of that one. Just get on, baby.

[ja002h]

Clark sucks almost as much as Grieve.

[ja002h]

Make em PAY Cappy!

[RobertR]

Anyone else feel dumber listening to Schroeder babble about not knowing what the Mets are planning for third base in the future? Granted, I know he doesn't follow the minors, but the fact that the Mets traded their starting third baseman so they could play a 21 year old, high draft pick, who hit around .330 in the minors this year, should be a clue.

Closing the outfield windows, wonder if this lovely Madison weather is heading that way. Is the roof closed yet?

[ja002h]

Cap keeps sailing along...
