5/30/04 - Brewers (Santos) vs. Padres (Valdez)

[MassBrew]

Looks like you locals will need to know your Spanish today for TV access -- or live with a slight delay while watching with Ueck and JP on the radio.

 

More rain storms? Lack of tailgating opportunities likely kept the crowds a bit smaller this weekend.

+4 is, as Yogi would say "way better" than +2

Speaking of which, he also penned yesterday's notes column (the one headed by the Grieve stuff). Pretty cool... looks like he worked himself into a setup role and is getting more high leverage opportunities this season. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

 

Great to see... Adam McCalvy does a very good job and the JR/Adam combo should be even better!

I'll be at the game today....albeit in hungover mode so I d on't know if any analysis I bring will be worth a darn - not that it ever is anyway http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/happy.gif

It would be nice to give Santos some run support early. 2 out of 3 would be nice.

[pogokat]

has anyone else been having problems with mlbtv???the last 4 times i've tried to watch a game it gives me that national broadcast restrictions crap on the brewers...i know full well they aren't on national tv today...and i'm 1000 miles from milwaukee, so what gives?

[AJAY]

Does anyone here speak Spanish? I can't understand a word of what Bill and Daron are saying? http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

[AJAY]

This offense is terrible. Can anyone except Wes Obermueller get a clutch hit?

[endaround]

Well Santos did have a 45.00 ERA against SD coming into the game...

[panthernick]

can someone fill me in on what channel the game is on???

[AJAY]

I have Time Warner Cable in Glendale. Channel 66 for me.

[AJAY]

As long as Jenkins keeps swinging at that low and inside garbage, pitchers will keep throwing it.

 

C'mon Geoff, wake up.

[packfan79]

I wonder how my runners pods is going to leave on base today?

[endaround]

Is it time to move Jenkins down in the order so his RBI chances go to others?

[packfan79]

The way he is swinging lately I would say yes.

[AJAY]

Do these guys understand that you should try bunting your way on base when you are not swinging the bats well?

[scoop53714]

Bottem line is that the offense has been in the tank for a long time and its going to start catching up with them soon. Damn near everyone in that lineup is underacheiving.

[AJAY]

OH MY GOD WE SCORED !!!!

[AJAY]

BOOOOOOOOOOOO !!!

[Brewer Fever]

Please, please let it not take 4 years before we ever see this team get to 4 games over .500.

[AJAY]

Yost once again did not pinch hit for Gary Bennet.

 

WHY????

[AJAY]

What was that stolen base about? We are down by three. Ginter almost got thrown out there.

[DHonks]

So my question...is Jenkins hurt? the only periods of his career where he's done this badly, it's because he had injuries.
