Most little league teams would feast on our 6-9 hitters.

Since Russ is at the game, I present to you the OPS NL rankings for the Crew 6-9

 

6. 14th

7. 7th

8. 10th

9. 9th

 

And that's the truth

[wisconsinfan47]

I'm disappointed with the out, but there was one thing I loved about that play: JJ to right-center.

[TauPentaRei]

Weeks to the DL... addition by subtraction?

 

Vargas dealing... #5 stuff?

 

Now I've seen everything!

[crewcrazy]

Holy crap...Vargas got a 1-2-3 inning without getting RISP first!?

[jloos19]

I love Prince Fielder and every bit of his 1.021 OPS.

[bobskube]

Hall yet to have an RBI since May 23rd.

[crewcrazy]

Hey, Mench isn't totally worthless!

[bobskube]

A two out RBI by Mench twice in a week. A homer by Graffy.

 

AMAZING!

[endaround]

Since when is hitting 2 doubles "manufacturing" runs? Was there a change in baseball lexicon in the offseason or has Bill's hatred of the home run caused him to completely forget what words mean?

[MadisonBrewerBlue]

another rbi from the bottom of the order

[crewcrazy]

Miller getting in on the act, too...wow.

[brwrsfan]

ted lilly at 67 pitches after 3 innings....now thats nice....hopefully we can get into the cubs bullpen by at least the 5-6th inning tonight....

 

that being said, i hope we keep tacking on...these cubs/brewers games scare me sometimes

[billyhallfan]

nice to see us bang out some runs, let's go Crew.

[AdvantageSchneider]

Did you see the stat about the brewers home runs. 76 homer 50 are solo shots. Does that seem like an inordinate amount of solo home runs? No idea where to get that kind of data to compare other teams, but it sure seems like we are hitting more solo HR than normal, if that's the right word.

[tigerbrew]

Wow, today's game is the opposite of yesterday's so far, Brewers coming up with clutch hits. Sweet.

[brwrsfan]

I would agree, we seem to hit a TON of solo shots....not that I mind getting them, but it would be nice to see us capitalize with men on base every now and again.....i wonder how many JJ and prince have...be nice if the top of the order could consistently get on base...

 

as I write this...our shift on Cliff Floyd just backfired again....

[bobskube]

Stupid shift. Floyd got us twice through the shortstop hole in the last two nights.

Magicman Vargas does it again.

[crewcrazy]

Claudio Vargas continues to defy the laws of probability.

Hey Rocky!

 

Watch me pull a rabbit out of my hat.

Man, Hardy's unlucky today, rob of a double and a single so far by Cubs D.
