06/02/2004 - Brewers (Hendrickson) at Dodgers (Jackson)

Oh

 

My

 

God

 

WHAT WAS GRIEVE THINKING!?!?!?!?

[DuWayne Steurer]

Dave Roberts dogging it out of the box.

 

He's been around Mr. Bradley too much.

[batman]

Nice to see our defensive specialist behind the plate earning his pay.

 

Err.

 

NOT.

 

~Bill

[Harold Hutchison]

Grieve's defense is horrible.

 

He should spend most of his time at first... put Overbay in left and Jenkins in right...

[batman]

Um, Podsednik just didn't realize how many outs there were. What's up, 'zilla? Late night with Lisa?

 

~Bill

[DuWayne Steurer]

What's to say Grive could play 1st?

 

Comment about our newfound love of playing our infielders all over the place.

 

With a man on 1st, and less than 2 outs, regardless of alignment and trends of the current batter, wouldn't you want your 2nd sacker at least close enough to 2nd to be able to turn a deuce, especially with a GB pitcher on the mound?

[H0FFY]

My sportsline play by play said

 

"Roberts tripled softly to deep right."

 

Mr Grieve?

[AJAY]

What in the name of Kevin Reimer was Grieve doing out there?

[RyDogg66]

It seems to me that outfielders have been playing deeper against Overbay to cut off the gap and limit his doubles, has anyone else noticed this?

[DuWayne Steurer]

Talk about hitting the nail on the head Hoffy. He was playing on the track darn near, and came in and made a BUTT-AWFUL looking dive on a low liner.

 

IF Roberts had, ya know, RAN out of the box, it might have been inside-the-park territory.

[batman]

With a man on 1st, and less than 2 outs, regardless of alignment and trends of the current batter, wouldn't you want your 2nd sacker at least close enough to 2nd to be able to turn a deuce, especially with a GB pitcher on the mound?

 

I'll go with yes.

 

I like the defensive experimentation with regard to positioning, but that was a tough play for Spivey to even *cover* second, much less turn two.

 

On an unrelated note, the pace of this game thread has decreased substantially. You chat room goers are discriminating against your Mac brethren. It's racism, I tell you... 'cept for operating systems. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/pimp.gif

[Harold Hutchison]

Back to the offensive doldrums...

 

*shakes head*

 

Gonna be a long year... they're better than the `03 Brewers, but .500's about as good as it gets.

[DHonks]

great hustle by Ginter!

[batman]

GINTERRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Mad wheels, yo!

 

~Bill

[DuWayne Steurer]

Boy, that Ginter kid sure sucks. He can't hit a lick.

 

Sutton, you're an idiot.

 

Why NOT go for 3rd with 2 outs?

 

BECAUSE HE'LL SCORE FROM 2ND ON A SINGLE NUMB NUTS!!!!!!!!

[batman]

Somebody want to start that "least favorite Brewer" poll right about now?

 

Freakin' Bennett. I'd rather have Ben Sheets bat... at least the pitcher will actually have to throw more than one pitch.

 

ARGH.

 

~Bill

[AJAY]

Oh my god is Gary Bennet SLOW. That 8th spot in the lineup is becoming a real cancer.

 

I miss Keith Osik.

[Harold Hutchison]

But Bennett ends the inning...

 

Sheesh... can't Moeller play most of the time - at least Chad isn't an automatic out!

[danzig6767]

By the end of the game Bennett should be under the .600 OPS line.Our lighter skinned Henry Blanco.

[BuckyTuba]

the RISP woes continue, lovely.

[batman]

72 pitches thru 4. Hopefully he can get through one or two more...

 

C'mon, Lil' Ben.

 

~Bill

[DHonks]

at least Chad isn't an automatic out!

 

So it just seems that way?

[batman]

So it just seems that way?

 

Yeah. Moeller's OPS is .676... bad, but better than Bennett. More importantly, Moeller seems to show signs of being able to hit, a skill that alludes Mr. Bennett.

 

It isn't good when Eddie Perez and Keith Osik are superior offensive players to your team's catching duo.

 

~Bill

[batman]

Argh. Jackson has really turned things around since the first couple frames... I'm impressed, much like I thought I'd be. I'm sure he had a lot of nerves, too, despite his previous experience in the big leagues.

 

I still find his arm action a bit ackward, but now that he's harnessed the fastball he's definitely something to watch. Mid-90s with a ton of movement is hard to find.

 

C'mon, Crew... stop sucking!

[AJAY]

OH MY GOD GRIEVE DID IT AGAIN !!
