DId you see how much ground Gwynn and Hart covered there? Thank god there was no collision.

HR for Jenkins.

 

Better late than never !!

[Ennder]

.770 OPS on the year for Jenkins. Couple more HR's and he'll be sitting right in that .800-.830 OPS range you expect from him.

[brettac1]

Unfortunately, people are still going to say the same stuff. "These are meaningless." As if a HR on April 10 is more meaningful than one on September 10.

Yeah, nothing like Jenkins having a late-season hitting tear when the games don't count anymore and his horrible season can be skewed by a few meaningless HR's with a few weeks left. Where was he in April, May, June, July, or August?

 

If any of you say these games aren't meaningless, then please explain why I'm the 5th poster in this in-game thread? http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

This inning is about to unravel, let's hope not.

[Ennder]

I think the most meaningful stat to look at with Jenkins is the .430 OPS vs lefties. While its lower than I'd expect out of him because of a small sample size I think its pretty clear at this point that he should be platooned at least when he's not on a hot streak. He actually has like an .850 OPS vs righties on the year now.

 

If you really want to talk about them being meaningless then I hope they trade Hall next year since he's obviously given up on the season and just doesn't care and we don't want that attitude on the team.

 

Thankfully I don't believe the games are meaningless so I'd like to keep Hall, they especially aren't meaningless to STL who still hasn't clinched the division and has various home field advantage scenarios on the line.

[cruiserx43]

do you intentionally walk rolen?

[cruiserx43]

Guess not, good job Capster.

[1992casey]

bucksman4,

 

You actually were the seventh. "Meaningless" posts by Prince James and me were deleted. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

[brettac1]

Every game is worth one in the standings. Ask the Tigers as they blow their division lead they built in April, May, and June. They're all worth the exact same. No matter who you play or when you play them.

[rluzinski]

Where was he in April, May, June, July, or August?

 

Last year, Jenkins was on fire the entire second half, when the Brewers were trying to stay in the playoff race. meanwhile, Lee disappeared. Of course, that fact doesn't fit into some people's perception of either player, so they ignore it altogether.

 

Sorry to interupt your predictable rant with reality.

It's funny...I don't know why you're bringing up what he did or didn't do last season and Carlos Lee's name?? What does that have to to with the fact Jenkins has sucked this season..for the WHOLE season.

It's funny how 3-4 HR's and a decent 2 week span from a player can cloud some people's perception of reality.

[endaround]

Of course Jenkins had a fine April, but hey facts don't really matter in this discussion.

[bucksman4]

Okay...fine, I'll give you April. I still have the other 5 months to reference and back up my point.

[AJAY]

Bill Hall really looks lost lately. He seems to be out of gas.

[Ennder]

He was fine in July too. Only a .795 OPS but it was OBP heavy which generally counts for more than SLG. So thats 3 months he was fine or good and 3 months where he sucked.

 

Most players have 1 or 2 bad months a season, jenkins just overachieved and had 3.

[cruiserx43]

jenks has some serious mojo going now.

[jloos19]

I haven't frequented this board in awhile, and there goes bucksman ranting away. There's no argument against Jenkins starting against righties. I personally think he never should have been benched, only against lefties of course; Mench should have been the one benched at the time. Bucksman, there's a reason no one agrees with you, it's because what you say most of the time doesn't make any sense.

[bucksman4]

So, you're telling me it would've made more sense for me to say "oh yeah Jenkins has been great this year!" Essentially, I'm making a point that both Yost and Melvin would agree with (he sucked this year!) and I get people trying to make it seem like he hasn't been as bad as he really has. And what I say doesn't make sense.....hmm....

[rluzinski]

What does that have to to with the fact Jenkins has sucked this season..for the WHOLE season.

 

What does that have to do with what you said that I disagreed with? Can you stay on topic or what?

 

So, you're telling me it would've made more sense for me to say "oh yeah Jenkins has been great this year!"

 

Again, straw man.

 

Do you annoy everyone in real life as well?

[AJAY]

Tony Gwynn, flying around the bases . . .

 

Beautiful !!

[rluzinski]

Cappy cruising. He'll be a fine #2 next year.
