07/16/2004: Brewers (Santos) at Cubs (Clement)

[brewers19]

Here's a scoring chance; nice job Clark.

[7rebmun]

Here's where the inning grinds to a halt . . .

[brewers19]

Finally on the board, from the bottom of the order surprisingly.

[7rebmun]

Not coincidence that they aren't swinging at the first pitch. They never do. Which is why every Ginter AB is a fastball on the first pitch followed by several curveballs.

[brewers19]

Why is Bennett in the Majors? Can anyone tell me that? There are pitchers that can hit way better than him (besides Kiesh and Obie).

[Monty]

Does Bennett bat with all his catcher's gear on(including the mask)?

[7rebmun]

Bennett is approaching Sheets territory in the batting average column.

 

I know Obermueller can't pitch a good game, but can he call a good game every 5 days? Let's suit him up as our 2nd string catcher.

[endaround]

Bennett has now fallen below the .180 mark.

[7rebmun]

Bennett is 2-19 (0.105) this month. I saw both his hits in Pittsburgh. That's craptastic!

[endaround]

With Clark now outhitting Podsednik, how about Clark starts in center and Grieve gets to actually play?

[batman]

I'm late to the party, but just in time to hear Geoff Jenkins' hit a home run.

 

I can dig that.

It's about freaking time, Jenkins!!!

 

I didn't mind him swinging at the first pitch there.

[Member]

I'm glad Jenkins homered... and I'm glad the game is tied.

 

BUT... what's the over-under on the "This is the start of a patented Jenkins hot streak... " posts?

[MarquesJohnson2000]

ALWAYS with the double plays.

[brewers19]

How's Erikson gonna be at filling in for Craig?

[endaround]

I'm not sure why Hall wasn't moved to SS, Ginter to 3rd and Erickson to 2nd.

[brewers19]

Because it's Yost!

[LV Brewer Fan]

Everyone take a step back from their computers, but for those of you not watching the game, Bennett is warming up in the bullpen! Didn't he pitch last night? Do we really have no better option for the 7th of a tied game than Jeff Bennett.

[jvrocksaz]

Six solid innings for Santos!!! But he is up to 109 pitches... He is also due up third this inning... Does Nedly pinch hit for him??? and with whom???

Oh the suspense!!!!

[brewers19]

I say that Grieve bats and Adams comes in as relief.

[Terok Balefire]

Bennett double play time.

[hawing]

"Do we really have no better option for the 7th of a tied game than Jeff Bennett."

 

I'm looking at ESPN game update and it says 2-1. Is it really tied instead?

[batman]

He can't even bunt. Gary Bennett is terrible.

[brewers19]

Do we not have any catchers in our minor league system?!

[Vgmastr]

ESPN.com somehow omitted Hall's RBI groundout. It's 2-2.
