6/16/2004 - Brewers (Davis) vs. Mariners (Nageotte)

[batman]

I don't know what's going on with Brady and his inability to steal. Last season, he stole 13 out of 15 bases. He was 4 for 5 in 2001 and 1 for 3 in 2002, so last year seems like an aberration, I guess... still, it was the first time he got so much playing time. He is 31, so I guess a gradual decline in speed should be expected, but there must be some other explanation for his Snachez-like ineffectiveness.

Glad to see ol' Brady boy back in there.

Grieve just hadn't been battling like a true Yost boy lately.http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/ohwell.gif

C'mon Doug, gotta get that down.

[batman]

C'mon, Po... that bunt single in the first was so promising! Dude has got to quit hacking at those high fastballs... the roid-rage-uppercut is not working for you, Scotty.

 

And Doug Davis is doing his best to one-up Sheets in the "craptastic hitters" category.

Ever seen a guy sweat like Seattles pitcher??

 

That is crazy,he has sweat dripping off his cap like it's pouring rain on him.

[endaround]

Get the feeling the Brewers are going to chase Nageotte in 4 innings with out scoring more than 3 runs?

[ja002h]

Off topic:

 

If the Astros could just suck it up and win one...

(and the A's for that matter)

[950opsLHcatcher]

Pat Borders? You have to be kidding me. Don't let him do that to you, Doug.

[ja002h]

Just call him Mr. Runsaver

[bullox]

While Daron and Bill struggle for the answer on just how 'close' Rickie Henderson is to 3000 hits, I'd like to mention that he has 3055.

[bjkrautk]

I thought catchers were supposed to break down over time.

 

Borders is only the second guy to catch Pods this year....and he hit a homer! http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/eek.gif

[ja002h]

With all the over-40 pitchers out there this year, he figured someone needed to represent all the fogey position players.

[ja002h]

Whew. Nice work Doug.

[AJAY]

Please get some more runs for Doug Davis. This is cutting it way too close.

[danzig6767]

Gotta hand it to Davis,in his last 13 starts he's only given up 5 runs or more one time.

[7rebmun]

Looks like Davis is still in the on deck circle . . . letting him go another inning?

[AJAY]

BILLY WITH A BOMB !!!

[7rebmun]

There's your runs boys!!! C'mon bullpen!

[ja002h]

BILL HALL!!!!!

[Vgmastr]

Billy Hall is my hero.

[batman]

Billy Hall to the opposite field... that's great to see.

 

'At a boy, Billy!

[batman]

I said it last night and it worked, so I'll say it again...

 

Vizcaino + Kolb and everybody goes home happy.

Julio Mateo is an interesting story. He signed with the Mariners way back in 1996 out of the Dominican Republic. He was only 17 and so this is his ninth professional season despite being only 26 years old. He spent two full years with the Timber Rattlers so I'm sure a lot of folks reading this saw him pitch (even if they didn't care at the time).

 

He's sort of the Mariners' version of Mike Adams, I think.

 

Anyway, I was just doing some reading about him when he came into the game and figured others might be interested, too.

Boone looked really silly there. Vizcaino really made him look bad.

[batman]

How much do you think that Luis Vizcaino is worth to a contender with bullpen problems?

 

Wow.
