4/3/08 Brewers (Bush) at Cubs (Dempster): 1:20 PM CDT

Whats the difference if a pitcher gives up a hit or a walk? A hits worse because it can score a runner on 2nd or whatever.

 

walks show a lack of control more so than being hit..imo...

[derflotr]

Johnny Estrada could steal a bag off McClung.

 

Well this one's slipping away...oh well. 2 of 3 is nice.

[JohnBriggs12]

In the "who leaves rotation upon return of Gallardo sweepstakes", Bush grabs early lead.

[sheetswannabe]

puke. I woulda rather seen a walk

[Bnowell4evr]

FINALLY!!!

 

I hope Bush is the odd man out when Gallardo returns. A couple more performances like this and I might get my wish.

[JohnBriggs12]

Did somebody post this game isn't 10-2? Well not quite yet.

[SoCalBrewfan]

A lot of over-reaction from the board today.

 

Is this your first IGT? In the IGT, every pitch is do or die, and failure means the end times are nigh. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

2 out of 3 does feel nice at least. Maybe we can get three from the Giants, they are pretty bad.

[PrinceFielder28]

Well is this donkey on our team even?

[sheetswannabe]

What ever happened to watching the runners?

[sheetswannabe]

John that was me, I am kicking myself...

[sheethead]

Nothing says, "i'm waiving the white flag," like bringing in Sleuth McClog. Barf. Better show up tomorrow crew, or i'm throwing up in your house!!

[Fear The Chorizo]

And the wheels are falling off for this game

 

so how long until one of Kendall's throws to 2nd drills the pitcher?

 

Oh, and McClung is bad

[orca1963]

i should say also that if it were any other team we were playing i would probably not be so pissy

[mikerollins]

This thread is kind of comical. It's like reading the Cubs board yesterday. The Cubs are big league hitters too and they are going to score their share of runs this year. We went down to Wrigley and took 2 out of 3 to start the season.

 

The people calling for Yost to yank Bush because he'd given up 3 runs in 5 innings will be the same people whining about the bullpen being worn out in August. You can't have it both ways.

[And That]

McDung strikes again! Where is the team that played the first two games?

On the field. Turns out you don't win 162 games a year.

 

[sheetswannabe]

At least lets make the game interesting, maybe score 2 or 3 more runs... I just wanna see Fielder hit a bomb, he need to eat his burgers.

[whynotthebrewers]

Every game is do or die isn't it? And I thought that our starting pitching was only going to give up 2.5 to 3 runs a game. Come on people, give it a break. We are three games in and we have took 2 of 3 at worst. But I guess anything less than perfection is reason for this.

[MillerParkSouth]

I would like to see us get a road sweep this year. Would be nice to do it in Wrigley too. At this point, i'd just like to see Prince do something positive with the bat.

[sheetswannabe]

McClung looks like a Grown up version of the catcher from Sandlot.

[bthurley19]

I can accept loses when we are outplayed but the only thing we have done today is beat ourselves.

[Bernman23]

FINALLY!!!

 

I hope Bush is the odd man out when Gallardo returns. A couple more performances like this and I might get my wish.

Unfortunately Bush is #3 in the rotation, so all that will happen is he'll get bumped to fourth. Parra is the player who'll be jettisoned. It's too bad because Parra is better than Bush, his only question is experience. Bush is probably the 6th best pitcher in the rotation when everybody is healthy (including Cappy).

Yeah, this seems worse than usual though, especially considering this is the third game of the season and the result of the first two.

[zzzmanwitz]

I was kinda hoping McClung and TGJ would make a good trade package. Now with TGJ getting hurt and McClung showing what he does... I can only hope for about 3 baseballs, a batting glove and some chewed tabacco.

[derflotr]

Nice job Seth...keeping this game in reasonable reach.
