5/8/2004 - Brewers (Hernandez) @ New York Mets (Yates)

[950opsLHcatcher]

The Brewers look to secure a series win this afternoon as they lock horns with the New York Mets in the second game of a three game weekend series. Adrian Hernandez (0-2, 10.03) gets his first start of the season and looks to make a statement similar to that of Victor Santos'. The Brewers face Tyler Yates (1-3, 5.40), the Mets' worst starting pitcher.

Go aheaed take Bill's thunder...

 

The Met's worst pitcher would be a solid addition to the Brewers rotation.

[bullox]

I'm going to go out on a limb and predict a Jenkins bomb today. Just a hunch. Let's see one http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/glasses.gif

My own thunder needs to strike.

 

Yates would be the Brewers' third starter.

Something tells me that the line that is set at nine is a little to low. I think this is going to be a high scoring game with the brewers winning

I am getting really sick of seeing Bill Hall ride the pines. JHC.

Good to see that Yost remembered where the third baseman is supposed to bat. How can we expect our offense to produce when the third basemen moves from the sixth spot in the lineup to the seventh? I mean, seriously... these guys are only human.

 

I also love how Wes Helms' "benching" lasted all of one game. I wonder what that makes the punishment being doled out to Billy Hall for being good.

 

Oh well. Enough Nedley bashing... go Brewers.

Helms was punished by being benched.

 

Hall is rewarded for being good with a few off days.

 

See, entirely different.

[scoop53714]

Like I have said...I like Ned but....I think the brewers are playing .500 ball DESPITE their manager. He is writing the wrong names on the lineup card consistantly.

 

2 k's for Adrian in the 1st. Sweet!

[endaround]

Ahh, the Helms defense. Good thing Ginter's girly arm isn't out there.

[scoop53714]

you have to figure helms days are numbered. Not only is he terrible at the plate but he is butchering 3b.

[AJAY]

They teach you in little league that you should always get in front of the ball. Helms looked awfully lazy on that one.

[scoop53714]

you'd think helms would remember little league. Its the last time he hit .280.

[scoop53714]

overbay....you have got to be kidding me.

[AJAY]

LYLE !!!

[MassBrew]

Please don't tell my wife I have a real Lyle thing going on right now....

[scoop53714]

you arent alone mass. My fiance uses this expression frequently "your man crush up!!!"

[scoop53714]

hahahahahahahha

 

not only do we have a pitcher who hits 500 ft hrs.....but now we have a........drumroll please.....

 

SWITCH HITTING PITCHER!!!!!

 

hahahahahahahaahahahaahahaha

[endaround]

And there was JP brining up a clancy point of putting Overbay behind the plate.

[scoop53714]

maybe helms could try hitting lefty. Adrian has a better swing than wes though.

[rluzinski]

Well Sutton was talking about funny names in baseball, specifically mentioning Stubby Clap. Don't tell me he doesn't read this forum http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

 

Helms sucks.

[1992casey]

What's the deal with Hernandez?

 

He batted righty his first time up and batted lefty his second time up, even though he was facing the righthanded Yates both times.

[endaround]

So has this been the ugliest example of no hit baseball ever?

[homer]

I love message boards. Now that Grieve is hitting .288 no one says a word about him.
