6/12/07 Brewers (Suppan) @ Tigers (Verlander): 6:05 PM CDT

Verlander sure is making the Brewers look foolish.

[bucks2281]

Verlander has matched his season-high of 7 K's through 4 innings. Nice to see the Brewers offense carrying over from Sunday night!

[lukevan]

Has been said already and I hardly ever question Ned, but dang, what is he thinking with this lineup? The two worst hitters in the lineup are the two hitting at the top. I don't mind one of the two hitting second, but bat Hart or Gross leadoff.

[wibadgers23]

Hard to believe Detroit is only 10 games above .500 with the line-up they have. Other than Bonderman and Verlander, their pitching staff must be really bad.

[SlideBernieSlide]

Holy Crap! How has Verlander ever lost a game? Soup seems to be throwing well. Inge hit a good pitch and had a great at-bat. I think that 1 run might be all the Tigers need. Not sure I see the Crew getting a run...at this point I'd be happy with a hit.

[BrewCrewForever]

If they dont get a hit next inning Im turning off the game for awhile. Maybe like Sunday they will do good when I dont watch ot listen.

[uecker9]

All this focus on the 1-2 hitters, glad to see the rest of the lineup picking up the slack, er...

[crewcrazy]

Verlander's just in a groove...wow.

[yfinn6]

Verlander is dealing tonight. We'll be lucky to get a run at this rate.

 

Reverse psychology kick in!

[bucks2281]

This performance is a lot like Cole Hamels' against the Brewers last month. Our offense just looks silly right now.

[B2k1121]

How many pitchers have set their season high in strikeouts against the Brewers?

 

My guess, a lot.

[patrickgpe]

yeah he is putting on a clinic, Suppan has been OK (minus 1 pitch( but Verlander has been that much better.

[giffted1]

Luckily for us, Soup has only made one bad pitch so far. Unfortunately, Verlander hasn't made any.

[BrewCrewForever]

Alright Billy 2 BB tonight raising that OBP and OPS.

[uecker9]

At least we don't have to worry about leaving too many guys on base.

[crewcrazy]

9 K's through 5 innings, and Bill Hall doesn't have any of them. Progress.

[BrewCrewForever]

Well no hit there for Im taking a break for about a half hour to 45 minutes. See you guys then. Hopefully with a hit and or run or lead?

[brewcrew00]

Maybe being no-hit will make Ned realize he should stop trying to set the record for most lineups used in a single season.

[burniebrewer]

At this rate, the game's gonna be over before 8 PM.

[markedman5]

Good thing Verlander's not a strike out pitcher or I would be worried by now..............http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/frown.gif

 

How many pitchers have to get season high for strike outs before Schroeder or Anderson entertain the possibility that it might have something to do with our hitters?

 

I will say Verlander is impressive but other teams manage to get 3 runs a game against him somehow.

 

Right now I'd settle for 3 hits.

[aracko]

This lineup is making me want to start a fire ned yost thread.

[SeriesFinale]

Verlander, wow

 

Go Royals and Mariners, I guess. Suppan's doing his best to keep the Crew in it at least

[NormanBoobie]

Sure gotta hand it to suppan so far tonight. If only a bat or two would wake up and give him a hand...

[uecker9]

I'd go do some yardwork but there's nothing left to do due to the last month plus of games. Maybe I'll comb the grass.

[giffted1]

Come on Yost, with a different lineup we would have knocked Verlander out in the third.
