08/01/2004 - Brewers (Sheets) vs. Pirates (Wells)

 

Yuck. If you're in Milwaukee, it's on Telemundo again.

 

Russell is back in the lineup, but still no Ben Grieve.

Brewers Lose 6-1.... my hope is gone

[endaround]

Ben Grieve has been doing too well lately. If he continued to play so well Yost would be forced to sit Clark. And I thought Overbay was getting a day off?

[batman]

And I thought Overbay was getting a day off?

 

He's going to sit out on Tuesday against Al Leiter.

Why is the only guy hitting above .300 the one who keeps sliding in the batting order?? I know the Lyle has hitting #5 for a week or so now but what good does he do there when Pods and Counsell/Clark lead off with hits, then Jenks whiffs, Helms/Branyan whiffs and then Lyle hits a long fly out?? It would seem to me that Overbay is the perfect #3 hitter for this team since our #1 and #2 guys get on base, then Overbay up to hit #3, keep the rally going, then Jenks, Then Branyan to go for the HR...right??

[bernieh]

On the Pirates TV broadcast on mlb.tv, I'm seeing Sheets topping out at 92, 93 mph. I heard something about his dip in velocity over the past few games - can anyone shed some light on this?

[batman]

right??

 

Yes.

 

And *** is up with Big Ben Sheets?

 

I'm entering Red Sox fan desperation mode.

uGHHHHHHHHHHHHH

 

its gonna be another frustrating day

 

2-0 Bucs

[davego]

Trent might as well hit clean-up.

[Fike85]

This is sad. We're only down 2-0, we have 24 outs to make up the deficit and I fear that the game is over. We get the bases loaded with 1 out and we don't score ANY runs? Can I get a ***? I have went from being in love with this team to being frustrated as hell with them.

[rluzinski]

I know, it's sad to think this game is effectively over, already, despite the Crew having their Ace up there.

[bernieh]

That's all part of being in love with them, Fike85. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif We yell and curse because we care.

[DuWayne Steurer]

For my comments on knowing for certain that a game is over once the other team scores......a run or two, read the "Sickening and Disheartening" thread.

 

Bleah.

 

I'm willing to bet that right at this moment, most AA offenses could not do worse than our starting lineup.

[Fike85]

We had a chance to tie this game or take the lead but Overbay GIDP. That was our 1 chance to take control of the game and we blew it. The same thing happened on get away day vs. Chicago. We had Pods and Counsell on the corners with no outs and Jenks, Branyon and Overbay all struck out. That was the game.

 

RoCo, I think that 9 random people from this board have a better chance that the Brewers O. Hell, I think a coat rack placed on home plate would do better.

[RyDogg66]

What is this team's problem?? Consistently getting beat by pitchers with ERA's well over 5.00 or 6.00 and giving up HRs to hitters who are close to being released or sent down?? Is it me or does just about every player "get well" against The Brewers??

[packfan79]

I know this has probably already been said many times but it is amazing how we can make any average/below average pitcher look like an all-star.

[DuWayne Steurer]

It's hard to figure out, huh?

 

You'd think even a sub-par major league offense could score more than ONE run of a starter with a 6.69 ERA.

[rluzinski]

Jenks swings and 2 pitches WAY low and inside... another K.

 

Thank god we have him signed long term..

[DuWayne Steurer]

I swear to god every single guy in our lineup is secretly related to Pedro Cerrano.

 

"Straight ball I hit *very* much, but I can no hit curveball"

[Fike85]

Vogelsong may have an ERA of 6.50, but think of it this way: If the Brewers pitching staff was as good as our offense, we would have a team ERA of 10.50. So really, Vogelsong may as well be Cy Young.

 

BTW, WE SCORED A RUN!!!

 

2-1!

[Fike85]

We made a comeback? What in the WOlrd?

 

2-2.

[packfan79]

"Straight ball I hit *very* much, but I can no hit curveball"

 

That fits Billy Hall perfect and Jenkins and Helms oh wait...

[rluzinski]

"I came back from surgery. I struggled a little bit. Whoopee," said Helms.

 

What other dimension does Helms come from? Did he miss his .210 batting average BEFORE he got hurt? What a loser.

[davego]

c'mon. 3 runs, that is alomst a weeks worth. Opportunity to win, now C'mon boys!

[rluzinski]

O @#%$, Jenks heating up?
