4/22/08 Cardinals (Lohse) at Brewers (Yost): 12:05 PM CDT

Yost really needs to let Bush go deep tomorrow even if he is struggling.

Yeah he might hav stick it out and go deep no matter what happens. Or we get a run here and end it we have a fresh McClung to throw 3 or 4 innings tomorrow if needed.

[GormanHarvey]

It will count as a BS and it should. He lacked control and put runners on the corners with no one out. Pitchers can't blame the fielders for things like that. I really wish we had a bye WEEK coming up so we could get our pen back in order.

Mota is really making a case that he is back to his old self.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but I would surely disagree that he lacked control. It looked like he put every pitch just abour right where he wanted it...

[JrDave2304]

we better get it done here

[bigredrobbo]

Manny Manny Manny Manny...Mota Mota Mota Mota!

On Izturis' wrist?

Agreed. He got in a jam, made the pitches he needed to get out of it, but Weeks let him down. So Gagne has every right to blame Weeks IMO.

 

[samwise]

Yes Gagne should get a blown save, but there is so much blame to spread around, the blame is running thin.

[olliegjw]

I wish Kendall would get run. Not because it would be good for the Brewers, but because I want to see what Yost would do to fill the holes defensively.

 

Comical.

My guess is that he would have done something crazy, like putting Rivera at catcher. Man, that would have been funny.

[sheetswannabe]

Not everyday do you see players playing on the warning track

[GormanHarvey]

On Izturis' wrist?

I think it has been well established that that pitch should have never even taken place because he should have been rung up on the 2-2 ptich. But obviously that would be the one pitch he would want back. He showed great resolve and I can't blame him if he was a little let down by the ump missing that call

[JrDave2304]

Has J.J. ever swung at the first pitch?

[Menotti80]

when he hit his homer over the weekend he did

[BrewCrewForever]

Nice job trying to pull that pitch JJ. When is Skaalen gonna get through these players thick skulls that they need to drive the outside pitch to the opposite field. Your a professional, hit like one.

[jhart05]

Has J.J. ever swung at the first pitch?

 

Depends upon who you ask.

 

Some say he always swings on the first pitch. I would not be one of those people however.

Gorman I swear were a couple of the only Gagne supporters on this board.

Exactly! At least we don't have to face Pujols in this inning. Well, if we do we are in big trouble

[BrewCrewForever]

And then there was one, Turnbow the only man left in the pen.

Four blown saves in mid-April, imnagine that

[Hate those Rodents]

Help! Is this game on Dish Network in Madison? I can't find it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[trwi7]

Well now that McClung is in it shouldn't be long before we lose.

[trwi7]

With the confidence I have in McClung I wouldn't be too sure of that. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/frown.gif

And agreed again - I just hope he only ends up blowing 6 or 7 saves all year and we can look like prophets in september

[Brewer Killa]

Has JJ ever hit a ball hard more than one time in a game? I am worried about him more than weeks or others. He only hits the ball hard maybe once a game.

[Bruce Ciskie]

This has been a problem for years. Why would anyone be surprised?

 

We may be the worst fundamental team in the division right now. We don't take pitches or work counts, we don't move runners, we run into outs, we blow easy defensive plays, and our bullpen management is about third-grade level.
