  1. Two on no one out It's time to cash in and score And we fail again http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/mad.gif
  2. 3TO is back It will be a windy night Hold on to your hats Branyan has been gone He has a lot of work to do To make up time missed What that means for us Is a long hot Tuesday night And three Branyan Ks But that's the price paid For Branyan's awesome power He'll hit one tonight
  3. Ralph can't count to five So he screwed up his Haiku Now he should fix it
  4. This thread will be fun Already at four pages I love this idea
  5. Whew. I'll take it, but it should have been a CG for Ben. As far as the rundown, not watching the game hurts, but I think the split-second decision had to be made to go after Pierre. If a guy drops the ball...if Castillo slides hard...if someone makes a bad throw...ugh. And we've had enough dropped balls and bad throws to make it at least a possibility. A win's a win's a win. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif
  6. I don't get why this is such a common move by managers. I can't think of a single closer who would prefer to start an outing with runners already on base in the ninth. You get in a rhythm as a closer, and something like this is anti-rhythm for most of these guys. I just don't get it. Win, lose, or extras, it's a bad move IMNSHO.
  7. For those who shrug their shoulders when I complain about "formula managing", this is what I'm talking about. No book can tell you how to handle this situation, because the book doesn't know how well Sheets has pitched in this game. If the intention was to take him out after one runner got on with a cheap infield hit, then Turnbow should have started the ninth.
  8. Put the book down and manage this game. There's no way you lose if you keep Sheets in. Turnbow? With a runner already on base? http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/sick.gif
  9. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/mad.gif http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/mad.gif http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/mad.gif BRADY!!!! http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/mad.gif http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/mad.gif http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/mad.gif
  10. They tried to wake Jack up before the at-bat, but they didn't succeed until it was 0-2.
  11. It's a typical Sheets start. Only he's pitching lights-out, and the offense sucks. Sheets has probably thrown one bad pitch. Hopefully, we see Jenkins and/or 3TO in the ninth against (presumably) Todd Jones.
  12. Great idea. Let two guys that suck vs. RHP hit while Jenkins and 3TO have a sunflower seed spitting contest in the dugout. When people rip Ned, this is why. Don't you at least owe your flamethrowing SP a chance to get the win? Or does he expect Sheets to bring home the winning run himself?
  13. Mota's on. McKeon has gone with his (notably right-handed) setup guy. Time to roll out O and Prince. Oh, crap. Well, O and 3TO isn't bad. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/happy.gif
  14. Rooter: 2-3, K Everyone else: 4-18, 7 K
  15. Ned and Butch will need to cue that videotape for JJ sometime between the end of tonight and the start of tomorrow, or whenever JJ plays again. I'm watching on GameDay, but that doesn't change the fact that you can't take three strikes in a row.
  16. That's the first time in three starts ( Toronto on June 18 ) that the Brewers have scored a run in an inning, and Sheets has gone out the next inning and not given up a run. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/eek.gif
  17. If Sheets goes out and gives up a run (or more), I'm not going to be happy.
  18. http://www.boiseschools.org/schools/west/library/horse1.jpg
  19. I'm complaining about the lineup because the bottom four guys suck. I understand that there's nothing we can really do about it right now, but that doesn't change the fact that the lineup sucks.
  20. That might be the worst lineup I've ever seen. OK...maybe not. But it's bad.
  21. Sheets is cursed. He'll be lucky to get two runs tonight, assuming this Olsen kid is as nasty as I've heard he is. The AP copy on the roster move says Branyan isn't in the lineup tonight. I don't think any of us thought he would be, but I wanted to make that clear for those who were wondering.
  22. Well, Gameday says the pitches Jenkins swung at were strikes. That would be an improvement, assuming it's accurate. Three runs against Redman? Wow. Ugh. Lee is out and Rooter is in.
