04/23/2004 - St Louis (Carpenter) @ Milwaukee (Kinney)

[DuWayne Steurer]

I wonder how long his .220-ish batting average is going to be justified because he runs hard and knows how to bunt? Not that Bill Hall is lighting up the box score when he plays either......

[bull2477]

Pretty soon those fouls are gonna turn into liners or gappers. Please let me be wrong!!

[gregmag]

RoCo, Bill Hall has 21 freakin' ABs. Until he proves he's no good, he should get to play over Counsell by virtue of having (a) a pulse and (b) a future, even if it's only chronological.

 

Greg.

[DuWayne Steurer]

Pujols got OWNED on that at-bat. Flat out OWNED!

[bull2477]

I need help guys. I am afraid to leave work, cause it might jinx Kinney. But I cannot stay here another 1 1/2 hours! i feel I might walk out to the car and hear that he just gave up the 3rd or 4th run, and somebody is JUST getting up in the pen! I need serious help.

 

Edit: I am running out NOW, hopefully we can discuss a brewer win tomorrow. If Kinney comes out in the 7th and gets bombed it aint my fault!

[DuWayne Steurer]

Oh, I agree Greg, I was only saying that when he's played, he hasn't made the most of his opportunities, and when you're a young part timer like Hall, you need to capitalize on those chances.

[DuWayne Steurer]

Kinney dodged a bullet there.

 

I say, take him out, pat him on the back, and hand it over to the pen. Don't leave him out there UNTIL he falls apart.

[PeaveyFury]

Why do I get the feeling that Clancy will pretend that this game never happened?? http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

[DuWayne Steurer]

Peavey, I've already accepted that as fact.

 

Kinney got lucky.

 

The Cards batters were off tonight.

 

Jet lag.

 

Something.

 

Bottom line, it was NOT a good outing by Kinney!

RoCo, I'm with you. Bring. The. Hook. Which would make two quality starts against two pastings for our intrepid protagonist, not that I'm counting.

 

Greg.

[Harold Hutchison]

I'll admit, Kinney is doing okay - so far. But he'll stink the next few starts.

 

You can't RELY on him to have a good start every time.

[endaround]

Sure, send him back out there...

[DuWayne Steurer]

Do you HATE the guy that freaking much that you can't even enjoy it when he throws a nice game?

 

No, you just have to throw out as your supposed fact that he'll stink in his next start.

[Cyanogen5]

Kieschnick warming up...looks like it will be Saenz tomorrow

[PeaveyFury]

You can't RELY on him to have a good start every time.

 

So just like Wayne Franklin, right?

[gregmag]

Actually, and I say this sincerely, Clancy is probably right. Kinney will stink for his next three starts. BECAUSE NED IS GOING TO LET HIM THROW 140 PITCHES IN THIS ONE!

 

Greg.

[endaround]

Why are you thinking of bringing in Kieshnick?

[DuWayne Steurer]

Everyone else is burnt.

[endaround]

Bennett is available supposedly. And Burba probably could go one.

[lynchmobster]

Jim Powell with the Brewerfan.net in-game plug....

[rluzinski]

You can't RELY on him to have a good start every time.

 

WOW, that's the best you can come up with? Kinney won't have 100% quality starts for the rest of the year?

 

RELEASE KINNEY!

 

Seriously, say what you want, but Kinney got the job done. Nice job.

[DuWayne Steurer]

BROOKS!

 

Does what NO Brewers pitcher can do........RETIRE MATHENY ON STRIKES!!!

[endaround]

Well LaRussa decided to give the Brewers a chance by having Womack PH.

 

Edit: Thanks Tony!

[bullox]

YEAH BROOKS!!!http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/pimp.gif

[rluzinski]

There you go.

 

Kinney: 6.1 IP 6 HIT 1 BB 1 RUN

 

VERY NICE.
