    "See, I told you. Just let your battlers keep battling, 'cause we've got the grinders, the gamers, and the hard workers. Doug is a gamer, man, he's a grinder and he works hard. He battles. That's just another example of how great he's been for us, keeping us in games and getting the big out when he needs it." ~Ned Yost, continued

    Ned, do you need a sign from heaven or what??? "Doug is a battler and he was really battling out there. He's earned the opportunity to finish the job and I didn't want to bring in a reliever and see Davis lose the game like that. He was really battling. Sometimes you just gotta ride your horses, and Doug's one of our horses. He's pitched really well for us, kept battling and keeping us in the game. You gotta let him work out of it there." ~ Ned Yost, post-game

    Geoff Jenkins doesn't like Napoleon Dynamite. Jeff Cirillo called it the dumbest movie ever. Matt Wise and Derrick Turnbow, on the other hand, dig it. All the more reason to hate on Jenks. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif ~Bill

    < *** Tonight's Historical Note *** > Bill Schroeder mentioned on tonight's FSN North broadcast of the Yankees and Brewers that Teddy Higuera struggled mightily in his career against Don Mattingly, who raked the Brewers ace southpaw. An interesting observation, I thought, as Mattingly was a left-handed hitter and Higuera was an outstanding left-handed pitcher. And Schroeder should know what he's talking about... he caught Higuera for years, after all. But alas, a quick query on Retrosheet reveals that Higuera did reasonably well against Mattingly. From 1985 through 1991 (the years that Retrosheet has game logs; the two might have faced each other in two more games, once in 1993 and once in 1994, but those results are not included), Mattingly faced Higuera 67 times and batted .284 with a .284 on-base average (no walks) and a .447 slugging average. His 731 OPS against Higuera was well below his career OPS of 830. Higuera didn't dominate him, of course, but neither did Mattingly own the big Mexican. Interesting. Now back to your regularly scheduled game thread. ~Bill

    Brady is so good. 'Member when people used to say that he only padded his stats against crappy pitchers? http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif ~Bill

    Jenkins is 4-for-12 against Johnson. That doesn't seem possible. LET'S GO BREW-ERS! ~Bill

    Speaking of Callis, here's an interesting article about the Cardinals' draft philosophy: www.stltoday.com/stltoday...enDocument On Jim Powell's pre-game show, Callis said that the Brewers were probably going to take either Tulo or Braun. He indicated that the top two picks would be Upton and Gordon and then the Mariners might take Tulo or someone else (Hochevar, perhaps) and the Nationals will likely take Zimmerman. Not really anything groundbreaking, but it was interesting to hear Tulo's name come up. ~Bill

    And Lee has just officially passed Overbay. He's awesome. I don't understand how the White Sox could think so little of him... sure, he's made his share of ugly defensive plays, but he's always smiling and he's always hitting. El Caballo has been an absolute pleasure to watch. ~Bill

    Give King George some love, haters. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif Not too bad. ~Bill

    I don't have access to a complete minor league statistics database (yet - I'm working on it) but the only two Brewers Triple-A seasons I could find that are comparable to what Weeks has done are as follows: Joey Meyer - 1987 | Denver 79 G, 296 AB, .311/.380/.682, 1062 OPS Glenn Braggs - 1986 | Vancouver 90 G, 325 AB, .360/.439/.615, 1054 OPS And Weeks is doing even better. These stats are just estimates, BTW, as I don't have access to HBP and sacrifice data (so on-base average is BB+H/BB+AB). ~Bill

    Well at least he made contact. That Canadian dude is pretty good, and that. ~Bill

    Am I insane for wanting Krynzel to pinch-hit here? After the way Gagne ran him over last night, probably. I don't have a whole lot of confidence in any of our remaining hitters, though... maybe DMill. ~Bill

    How 'bout another wild pitch, and that? BOO CANADIA! ~Bill
  18. batman
    I think that was more of a slip and fall than a dive, although I'm not really sure what that was. Repko said "stupid", and I'd agree. C'mon, Lyle!!! ~Bill

    The simple fact is that Jorge isn't doing his job. You're right, Jorge didn't come in after a week off and retire J.D. Drew and Jeff Kent. What a loser. ~Bill
  20. batman
    Bad decision by Miller, and I think Drew was safe. Replay... yep, safe. ~Bill
  21. batman
    If Wise is coming in now, why didn't he start the inning? I just don't get it. Jorge is used sparingly, and then we he *is* used its a very high-pressure situation and he's yanked after a walk and a weak grounder to second. If I was Jorge, I'd be frustrated and confused. ~Bill
  22. batman
    At some point Yost will learn that relievers pitching on five or six days rest tend to struggle. If it happens to the closer (Turnbow), it's definitely going to happen to the young guy with control issues. C'mon, Jorge! EDIT: Jorge has no business in the big leagues. Yet I know we can't pass him through waivers. This sure is frustrating watching him throw ball after ball once again If he hasn't pitched in a week, can you really expect him to be sharp? He's started every five days in the minor leagues for the last four or five years, and suddenly his usage pattern is significantly different. Instead of giving him high-leverage innings once every week, why not give him some lower leverage innings every few days? ~Bill

    I believe that McCalvy story was already brought up, mainly because of this error: Yeah, you're right... it was bumped back to the top of the Brewers site and so I assumed it was new. It was actually published on 06-02. My bad. ~Bill

    Whoo, Victor got the job done. Nice. I don't like the way Bill and Daron were so condescending toward Antonio Perez during that at-bat. It's not their job to be the "good behavior police" and make moral judgments about players on the field. EDIT: This crap about an anonymous source saying that the Dodgers "lack heart" is hogwash, too. Totally unprofessional. ~Bill

    I can't believe the LA fans just booed Cesar Izturis. Sheesh... get a clue. ~Bill
