5/9/2004 - Brewers (Santos) @ New York Mets (Trachsel)

[Frisbee Slider]

Anyone wanna know what a Texas Leaguer looks like?

[PeaveyFury]

Way to go Brady!!

 

Viz and Kolb will try go preserve the sweep...

 

EDIT: Make that Burba and Kolb....

[gregmag]

This is why I love thinking about baseball -- it's humbling, in a fun way. I spend a lot of time and effort ripping on Helms, and he goes right out and sparks a two-out rally. Nicely done.

 

Greg.

[endaround]

So will Yost now force Howe to use another pitcher?

 

Edit: Nope

It's a good news/bad news hit. It started the rally, which is the good part. The bad part is now Yost will stick with Helms for at least another month of a slump because hey, he did come up with a clutch hit that one time.

 

I was questioning Yost sending Clark out to the plate over Hall. I'm stupid I guess.

[scoop53714]

besides the fact that Hall is better than councell here is another reason to play Billy all the time.

 

We have Hardy in the wings.

 

Hall is young with big upside. If Hall goes out and performs at a high level he would be great trade bait for Melvin. Hall might be able to be packaged for some pitching if his stock goes up. It wont go up sitting on the pines.

[Yaz]

Okay, why is everyone avoiding the chat room during this game?

 

Rather exciting game if you want my opinion. Burba just blew the lead. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/mad.gif What was that no-pitch he uncorked? Ugh, hope he is not hiding his shoulder problem.

 

5-5 in the bottom of the 8th.

 

GO BREWERS!

[AJAY]

Thanks for the walks Burba. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/mad.gif

[scoop53714]

I might be getting picky but....why the hell didnt anyone make a trip to the mound when burba appeared to have a heart attack mid pitch?

[gregmag]

This just in . . . Dave Burba is EXTREMELY human.

 

Greg.

[endaround]

So this is what it looks like to be out managed by Art Howe...

[DuWayne Steurer]

Scoop, I was just wondering that myself.

 

I don't get it.

[PeaveyFury]

So this is what it looks like to be out managed by Art Howe...

 

The same Art Howe that just took his best player out of the game by PRing with a pitcher? I don't think so.

[DHonks]

There's an obvious problem with putting Overbay in the 3 spot. That's that Geoff's going to get fewer pitches to hit with Ginter there. I think Grieve after Overbay would be better, but it's hard to configure everything properly. We know Spivey is the starting 2b, and we know Hall and Counsell are splitting SS.

[endaround]

You mean the PR that allowed them to tie the game? Yep thats him.

[PeaveyFury]

You mean the PR that allowed them to tie the game? Yep thats him.

 

Right... because if Yost PR Durrington for Jenkins in the same situation, I'm certain that you'd be on these boards praising Yost's decision when the game went into extra innings.....

[endaround]

Jenkins is not Piazza. Piazza can't run. You need to get to extra innings before anything else. Howe took advantage when he had the chance.

[PeaveyFury]

Ok, it'd be like Yost PR for Sexson in that situation last year? Fair enough comparison?

 

Like I said, if Yost made that move, you'd be slamming him like there was no tomorrow.

[DuWayne Steurer]

To be fair, Piazza was only in the game as a PH.

[MachMeister5]

Peavey isn't defending Wes, he's making Mach actually use some facts when he throws outlandish statements onto the board.

 

Facts make it that much harder for me to prove my case.... hehe, I'm gonna make a great trial lawyer, and a great democrat http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/pimp.gif

[AJAY]

Todd Zeile gets five strikes.

 

Brewers lose.

[DuWayne Steurer]

Wow. I don't usually make a case with the umpiring, but that was terrible. Franco and Looper had HUGE strike zones, but Ford darn near had to be right down the middle to get a called strike.

[SenatorShriv]

Really disappointed with the game today. I thought that there were a couple of managerial mistakes, and nobody really stepped it up at all. These are the loses that get frustrating.

[AJAY]

These guys always play like dead horses in extra innings.

[BuckyTuba]

news flash! ben ford blows another game!
