05/04/2004 - Milwaukee (Santos) at Cincinnati (Haynes)

[NastyTwig]

Perfect at bat for Overbay.

[RobertR]

THAT'S definitely the Jimmy Haynes I remember. Good job Lyle.

 

Robert

[PeaveyFury]

Lyle Overbay is good.

[AJAY]

Sexson Who ??

[burniebrewer]

This is such a relief. I guess the old pessimist in me expected the worst tonight. What an at bat by Overbay...this guy can play.

[burniebrewer]

Boy, those boos for Haynes sure are beautifulhttp://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/happy.gif . I remember when that was us booing getting ready to go home in the 3rd inning.

 

EDIT--Am I the only one who sees a slight resemblence between Haynes and Kinney?? Yikes.

[AJAY]

We gotta get in 5 innings to make this official.

 

Start making some outs fast http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

[Frank Mallon]

that was a long at bat by lyle as well. man was he fighting them off.

[badgerfan.tgf]

Not sure if this has been talked about or not, but is Spivey hurt? I was at the game on Sunday sitting on the first base line and late in the game when he was on first he kept grabbing his right hamstring. Just wondering if this is why he is not in the lineup or not.

[PeaveyFury]

Yup- Spivey has a strained hammy.... just keeping him out for precautionary measures.

[MachMeister5]

i still think its gonna be a slugfest

[Frank Mallon]

santos is cruising.

[tomwopat]

santos couldn't find the zone in the 1st, but now it's like he's pitching TOO good. lots of foul balls off pitches in the zone with 0-2 or 1-2 counts.

 

here's some small sample size sugar:

 

through 5 IP today, santos now has 6 K's.

 

through 3G, 9 IP, 10K's.

 

through 5 GS and 23 IP, kinney had 13 K's.

[badgerfan.tgf]

5 K's for Santos through 4. Nice start so far, let's see if he can keep it up.

 

My question for some of you on the board...what is so bad about young guys pitching well? I mean, whats the worst that could happen, they stay in the starting rotation and take the place of Kinney and Obie. Those are two guys I wouldn't mind seeing bumped (Davis isn't too far behind). It's not like guys like Saenz and Santos are top prospects that could get burned out and hurt our farm system.

 

Wouldn't a rotation of Sheets, Capuano, Saenz, Hendrickson, Santos/Davis look a hell of a lot better than what we currently have? Not to metion I wouldn't mind having Kinney and Obie out of the pen.

[endaround]

You do realize that Santos isn't young right?

[bjkrautk]

Santos is 27. Sure, he's no prospect, but it's not like we're starting Doug Jones or Jesse Orosco.

 

Now that the game's official, the rain can pick up any minute now. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

[RyDogg66]

uh oh. Kinney time.

[endaround]

Well he is older than Kinney.

 

My point is that Santos staying in the rotation is not the same as Sanez staying at all.

[batman]

Victor Santos: putting the Victor in Victory since 05-04-2004.

 

Nice job tonight... hopefully this is the "real" Victor Santos and he's not really the guy who's struggled so mightily out of the pen.

 

Regardless, Santos definitely > Kinney.

[burniebrewer]

Who's that guy wearing #50 tonight? So far, so good. I know, very small sample, but compared to his starts, this is nice.

[squarepusher]

Kinney's always been a pretty decent first time through the lineup guy. He pitched well out of the bullpen last year, and his first bullpen appearance this year looks to be repeating that success.

[burniebrewer]

Get Kinney out now and let's hope we can build on this outing. A little trouble late, but as mentioned in Brian's post, this is his second time through the order. I think both of our pitchers tonight have "earned" another shot in their current roles.

[Shanke5]

kinney.......

[DuWayne Steurer]

Nice job by Victor, nice job by Kinney, other than the last few batters.

 

LYLE driving in runs at a really nice rate.

 

Good deal.

[squarepusher]

NICE WIN.

 

Victor Santos for President.
