6/3/07 Marlins (Willis) @ Brewers (Sheets): 1:05 PM CDT

[crewcrazy]

Anderson has been hanging around Bill too long...basically gave away the trivia question. Miggy and Willis are the only two I can think of that was on that 2003 WS team.

 

Edit: Is Counsell the third?

[bobskube]

Think about that Graffy DP like it was a play in the 9th. That is how important those runs are for momentum.

 

3-0 would have felt so much better at worse case.

[wisconsinfan47]

The Cardinals, Cubs, and Pirates are all winning.

 

Yes, I know it's June 3rd, but blowing this game and having those teams win would make me a little grumpy.

[And That]

Hall didn't look like he put anything on that throw.

[bobskube]

Hall totally played that ball nonchalantly.

 

We might have gotten out of it, but that is not the point. I am sick of his laissez faire attitude. The way he has played this year, he should have total focus on every play.

[1992casey]

I don't mind if we're given pretty strong clues in regard to the trivia answers. They're one of the few things Bill is able to talk about and make interesting.

[bobskube]

That stupid DP by Graffy also caused us to lead off with Sheets and screwed up this inning and is helping Dontrelle's pitch count.

I rewound and watched the play again. I agree with Schroeder's assessment in calling the play 'a little bit' nonchalant. I wouldn't call it "totally" nonchalant.

[crewcrazy]

Bill just said the reason why Dontrelle got out of those two bases-loaded innings was "because he knows how to win."

 

Excuse me while I hit my head against my desk repeatedly.

[And That]

Seems like it has been forever since JJ has taken a walk. His BB/K ratio is out of line with his career.

[Team Canada]

Willis MUST pay for these walks.

[Ayt]

Is he going to get out of this as well?

[Ayt]

That was Willis being a winner.

[And That]

Baseline? What baseline?

 

That is ridiculous.

[crewcrazy]

Crap. JJ fell down. I'm starting to feel a bullpen collapse coming on, too.

 

Sweet spin move, though. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/laugh.gif

nah, that one was Sheets not knowing how to win. These things can be tricky to call at times.

[Ayt]

12 baserunners in 4 innings.

[dpapo]

Even the Marlins announcer are saying it should be at least

5-0. They must not have seen many Brewer games of late.

[crewcrazy]

7 hits, 5 walks, and 0 strikeouts in 4 innings...yeah, Dontrelle knows how to win.

[1992casey]

A good pitcher knows how to cause his teammates to do the right things on the basepaths. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

[bobskube]

Is JJ past criticism on here? that was horrible baserunning and if that was Graffy or estrada people would be going nuts on them.

[yfinn6]

0-2, with two outs, and a double down the line.

 

Wow awesome play there JJ.

 

Yes Bob, that was horrible baserunning by JJ. But I'm willing to take it easy on him since he was carrying the team on his back for a week or two week period this year. Estrada and Graffy have yet to do that. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

[dpapo]

It wouldn't surprise me if Fielder hit a solo homer. With all the baserunners the Brewers have had, I'm just feeling a solo homer coming up sometime during this game by the Brewers.

[Ennder]

JJ doesn't have a long history of bonehead moves so it doesnt' upset me as much. Players are going to make mistakes its when they make mistakes over and over (like Estrada swinging at balls out of the strike zone or graffy sucking in general) that really bothers me.

[1992casey]

We're not wound because it's not something JJ has happen often.
