Brewers are better with ginter and clark starting as compared to yost's earlier arranagement.

 

Brewers Win

Bucks Win

(that sound so nice)

[rluzinski]

I'm not sure what Ginter would have to do to start. What will make me light Yost's house on fire is when Spivey get's traded and I see Hall at 2B the very next day.

[Frank Mallon]

dont forget ginter was a couple feet from a two hr game as well. he can hit the fastballhttp://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/eek.gif

[TrueBrew]

I don't know but if he got to play everyday I am pretty sure he would produce more than Helms would.

I still say that the stats lie when talking about Hernandez. He has really good stuff. In the long run he will prove to be significantly better than Ford or Bennett. I hope Ned begins using AH a bit more. He will end up being more valuable than Ford or Bennett despite what the current stats say.

[DuWayne Steurer]

Officially on the Keith Ginter bandwagon since April 21st, 2004.

[tyguy20204]

Does Ginter ever swing at the first pitch? I don't think so but correct me if I'm wrong.

[AJAY]

How about some love for Doug Davis.

 

He pitched well again.

[MachMeister5]

I'm a little confused... I coulda swore that Geoff Jenkins hit a towering drive off the left field foul pole in that seventh inning... Granted, I was on the phone during that run barrage, but it was weird that he only got a double.... I thought if a ball hit the top of the pole it was considered gone...

 

Although, it might have been Ginter that hit it... I can't remember, got confused about who was batting... clarification anyone??

 

Go Crew! Ben Ford Sucks!

[hawing]

I'll give Sharpie his props. Though on TV tonight he looked more like Stubbley.

[colbyjack]

AWESOME game tonight. That's all I have.

[Never Outhustled]

Ginter needs to play everyday, but it should be in RF. With all the teams around baseball needing a 3B, wasting Hemls on the bench would be silly. Grieve should have been cut in spring training like the thread I started said. Ginter has never played RF, yet he'd be better defensively with pure hustle. As for Helms versus Ginter, Helms had a 780 OPS last year, Ginter 779, so there real comparable. Helms lacks movement defensively, but he gets to more balls than he gets credit for because he plays so deep. Helms is dreadful against the bunt, but he saved numerous runs throwing home with a runner on 3rd. Most 3Bs don't have the confidence/accuracy to do that. Ginter looks majorly bulked up, hopefully a Brewer is finally on the Barry Bonds workout programhttp://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/happy.gif .

[DHonks]

So I guess the lineup for tomorrow will likely feature Ginter over Helms, Spivey, Hall over Counsell, Overbay at 1b, and Grieve in RF (although I like the matchup vs the sinkerballer with Clark)

[rluzinski]

It was Ginter who hit that HR off the LF foul pole.

 

I'd like to see Ginter get a full season as a STARTER. His window of oportunety is closing, however, with Weeks not far behind. I suppose if Overbay royally blows this year, we'll see an infield of (backups in ()):

 

1B: Helms (Overbay)

2B: Weeks (Hall)

SS: J.J. Hardy (Hall)

3B: Ginter (Helms)

 

That would make me happy atleast http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

Keith Ginter is so similar to Steve Garvey as a hitter it is amazing. Didn't Garvey also wear number 6?

 

I believe if he played everyday, his numbers would be very similar to Garvey's typical season too, around 25-30 HR, a .290 BA, and 100 RBI.

 

How can this team afford not to have him in the lineup?
