At least Yo has picked up where Big Ben left off.

[adambr2]

Anyone still want to pick up Junkins' $9.5M option for next season?

[Trowekamp]

Who is more frustrating to watch bat right now? Jenkins, Estrada, or Weeks?

 

My vote:

 

1. Jenkins

2. Weeks

3. Estrada

 

Jenkins wins in my opinion because he should be in his prime right now while Weeks is still young and battling through an injury..

The finger was injured on the pitch, no doubt.

Then why did he look at his finger/hand the inning before? Its possible he tweaked it earlier in the game and just made it a lot worse on that one pitch.

[Oldcity]

Apparently my DVR can only rewind an hour back. I couldn't look at the bunt. I agree it looked like the damage came on that pitch though.

[hurricanecrush]

It depends, what are our other options?

[Ennder]

Depends on the other options, if it means starting Gwynn or Mench all year I'd gladly do it.

[Kpanz20]

Jenkins has been streaky forever though. I think I am basically numb to his same old routine we've witnessed for years. so it's tough to be frustrated with him when its been so expected.

[LV Brewer Fan]

I too thought it was more than a blister, but there is the chance that Wright was just trying to put pressure on the finger to simulate the pressure of releasing the baseball. As a golfer when I have a blister on my hand I press it to measure the pain to try and simulate the pressure through the ball of the golf swing. I didn't think it looked like a blister, but it could have been. Let's hope so.

[Kpanz20]

I'm cut to a commercial again... come on home run!

 

Edit: haha I forgot Gwynn was up

I agree.. I think part of the frustration is you want how Hart, Braun, and Fielder and even Hardy approach an at bat and you think come one guys why can't you follow there leads...

 

I would add when Hall is struggling he is frustrating because he can't touch a ball on the outer half which he kills when is is hot..

Off Topic:

 

Did anyone else notice that shot of Milwaukee didn't have Kilbourn Tower or University Club Tower in it? Would WMLW use that old of a canned shot?

[Ennder]

We get to face one of the worst RP's in baseball! Unfortunately we have two of the worst hitters in baseball(right now at least) coming up!

[rluzinski]

Gwynn really got into that one. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/frown.gif

[Trowekamp]

Is the rockies pitching staff where old Oriole pitchers go to die?

 

They must be a couple of days away from picking up Sidney Ponson..

[Kpanz20]

Wow I almost just ate my words there...Gwynn gave it a ride, and probably would have been gone yesterday.

[hurricanecrush]

Am I the only one that thought Gwynn hit it out?

[Trowekamp]

I personally would let Gallardo keep going while he is dealing.. especially considering that Counsell and him about about equal hitters.

[Trowekamp]

Since Weeks can't hit or field they might as well steal him..

[brewcrew00]

At this point, wouldn't you think it would be a power situation and Gross would be batting? He has clearly fallen out in that dugout, I think it's time to move him.

[Brewcrewin07]

Am I the only one that thought Gwynn hit it out?

 

Nope, I thought so too when it left the bat.

[sauveb]

Great job by Yo tonight. Get a run to reward him.

Nope, I said, "O my god" to my wife off the bat.

Offical word from the Brewers clubhouse a Distal (spelling?) finger sprain for Sheets.
