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

[brettac1]

Is THIS finally the Jenkins hot streak???

EDIT: Helms with a rip, come on LYLE!!!

EDIT 2: Overbay walk, come on Billy!

Speaking of team leaders, has anyone else noticed how Russell Branyan has gotten everyone wearing those red/yellow glasses? I hadn't seen anyone wear those all year until Branyan sported them in his debut, and now Jenkins and Hall (and maybe others) are wearing them.

 

Cool. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

 

Nice hit by Jenks, and Helms got a seeing eye groundball single through the hole. How clutch!

Up to Billy now

[Brewer Fever]

MLB Game Tracker had Clark going up into about row 5 of the RF stands to catch that sac fly. Did we have a 3-run bomb saving web gem or are their graphics that off?

[brettac1]

It was a deep fly ball

[brettac1]

BREWERS WIN!!!!!!

Could that 8th inning comeback be a turning point for the rest of the year?

[Vgmastr]

Yeah Billy!!!!

[batman]

Telemundo has a nice shot of Jenkins' back up there now. Nice that they didn't show the game winning hit.

 

At least they showed the game, unlike a certain network I know.

 

Good job Billy. Brewers win. Have a good Sunday night folks.

Wow. What a great game, against the bothersome Pirates no less. It feels good to win a series again!

 

Nice to see the offense show some life today.

[Brewer Fever]

Thank you brettac1...thank you Bill Hall!

Wow, I just woke up to see we have saved at least a million. With Sheets getting roughed up and Kolb blowing a save and we still win. I am sure Wendy is happy about this turn of events.

[Diskono]

Nice job by Durrington with his inspirational grittiness. His call-up will be the turning point of the season.

Yeah, but I'm not sure she's happy about the win. If we win games fans might continue to show up at the gates. And if attendance doensn't drop low enough, Wendy won't be able to move the team without first needing approval from the stadium board. Whereas if she can put a team out there crappy enough to keep the fans away, it will trigger an obscure clause allowing her to break the lease and move the team without needing anyone's consent. Oh wait...

You know, I don't really believe in stuff like that. Isn't it kind of odd though that the Brewers began their slump when Durrington went down June 10th and come back for a big win the day he is brought back up?

 

Now that we have taken a series from the Pirates, I believe we are now invincible. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/roll.gif

Is anybody else concerned that this is Sheet's third or fourth bad outing in a row?

 

His era is going up and the home runs allowed is also increasing.

 

Or am I just being a worry wort?

Actually, Vizcaino blew the save.

[brewmann04]

I agree with Ben Struggling and i have noticed it especially with all the early runs

[RobertR]

FWIW, I've got to give credit to Yost for going to Vizcaino. It didn't quite work out, but Yost saw that his pitcher was ineffective, took him out when the game was still in control, brought in the right pitcher for the circumstances (one who gets Ks), and at least limited the damage to a tie game.

 

At that point, McClendon did what most managers do, brought in less than his best available pitcher, because the save was more important than the win.

I don't know. I mean only if you consider Mesa to be that much better. And I have seen too many Mesa meltdowns to really believe that.

[rluzinski]

Actually Sheets did OK. The last 2 runs were a result of Pods and hall playing horrible defense. 3 runs in 6 ain't bad at all.
