Matt Wise (after 7/25/07)

[2hoophead]

Will history show Wiser was never the same after the Lopez beaning in the Queen City??

 

I have this hunch that for the remainder of this season Matty will not be the same and the press(and message boards) will bring up this play. Come next year though, he will return to his former self for the most part. EDIT: I hope I am wrong on the part of 'this season'

 

Only time will tell.

[mikerollins]

I completely disagree. I think it was hard for him to get out of that inning because it had just happened. He didn't know for sure if the guy was OK.

 

I wouldn't expect it to affect him one bit.

[naivin]

Nah, not going to be an issue.

[rluzinski]

I think the beaning will motivate Wise, causing him to gain 4-5 MPH on his fastball and allowing him to be the closer for 2008.

 

You can book it.

[Fatter than Joey]

I think that now Wise has gotten the taste of blood, he will be able to throw with both arms.

[UWRyan428]

I bet he throws his changeup more, which can only be a good thing, given the pitch's ability to completely flummox a hitter. Better question. What's the over/under on how many runs our bullpen gives up after the sixth inning for the rest of the regular season? I'm putting it at 14...

[sbrylski]

I think the real question is whether it will effect him at the plate?

[razzzorsharp]

I think Wise will now channel Nolan Ryan headhunting ways and throw 7 no-hitters.

[brewcrew00]

He's officially done.

[lumberrule]

He may not officially be "done", but I dont see how he can be trusted in a close situation anymore. He threw 10 pitches tonight against the Mets, and maybe one of them were close.

 

If Linebrink is with the club, this is his inning.

[naivin]

Hmmm...Very interesting.

[twobrewers]

I am sorry, I missed it. What happened on 7/25/07 with Matt Wise?

 

Can someone please explain.

[brewcrew00]

He hit Pedro Feliz in the face. I believe it was Feliz anyway? Regardless, it broke his cheek bone and there was blood everywhere, Wiser was pretty shaken up by it I think.

[Roscoe Chill]

If Linebrink is with the club, this is his inning.

 

I know his wife just had a baby, but I almost don't like the trade because of him not being here for some important games. Especially when it seems as though the Brewers were very close to getting Gagne.

[ccbrew]

He hit Pedro Feliz in the face.

 

FYI, it was Pedro Lopez of the Reds.

[naivin]

Who threw the pitch that hit Mike Matheney in the face?

 

Then again, that may be a poor comparison, since Matheney didn't even move when that ball it him - until he spit out a pint of blood and a couple of teeth of course.

Nah, I am pretty sure it was Pedro Lopez.

 

edit:ccbrew beat me to it

[brewcrew00]

Ugh, I knew that. Mental error, thanks for the correction!

[T B0NE 10]

I still am in shock with how bad Wise was tonight. I have never ever seen a worse pitching performance.

[jimmyjeromehardy7]

I have never ever seen a worse pitching performance.

 

Ben Hendrickson vs. the Twins last year comes to mind. That was painful to sit thru.

[bacon06]

Hendrickson at least threw a strike.

[ccbrew]

There's also the following play being discussed in the OT forum..can't really top this. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

[pitchleague]

my wife and I discussed this very topic after he was pulled tonight. I think it has affected him more than we know. It'll take some time to get over it. For now, Spurling probably deserves to move into Wise's slot in the pen (unless one is getting sent down) and let him do some mop-up work.

[Braminano]

I'm relatively sure that Wise might've been Ankiel'd. Wise is probably my favorite pitcher on the team, but I highly doubt he'll ever be the same and I wouldn't be surprised if a mystery DL stint (Dessens redux) is on the way.

[kgbaseball]

Anybody instantly think of Rick 'Wild Thing' Vaughn of Major League with his performance tonight? I can just imagine Ueck in the box going, "Just a bit outside!"
