I bet we don't score tonight. Except maybe the 8th or 9th inning

 

Nah nah

[MillerBombers]

Here we go. There will be at least 8 homeruns tonite. And Chuck Norris is going to hit another 8 and he's not even in the game.

 

I can guarantee you one thing, none of those 8 are going to come from Jenks.

[crossface21]

What if Chuck Norris put on Jenks uniform? Could we fool anyone? Probably not, because then No. 5 would start hitting the ball.

[SJgunny]

I wish yost would give Gynn ,Hart and Clark in the outfield for a few days. Why not its so hard to watch Jenkins k so much. Down and in gets him everytime. Go brewers need a come back

[brettac1]

gross and clark are 4th and 5th outfielders on real teams but we are a sorry team in asking them to start and we wonder why we lose.

 

How, exactly? Those guys are plenty good enough to start for a lot of teams. Gross can play all three spots and hit with patience and pop. Clark is a very solid OBP guy who can hit.

 

They're the least of the team's problems.

As you know, chuck wouldn't even have to hit the ball. A mere look from chuck and the ball would fly out of miller on it's own accord. Of course you are forgetting the fact that seeing chuck's name in the lineup would make any team want to forfeit anyhow.

[crossface21]

Very true.

[MillerBombers]

That would put us at 26-0 at home the rest of the season, cool. Playoffs here we come. Anyone got Chucky's number.

Yes, and clark is an awe inspiring defender. Gross is an unkown in the majors, as is Gwynn. I would start gross in right. Gwynn in center until he falters.

 

Yes, you and ned fear the unkown. Why not just play the comfortable, losing lineup.

Brady has the worst average in baseball with runners in scoring position believe is in the .170's also he is horrible defensively gabe isn't much better. I can't believe how you guys call yourself fans and don't demand better things your content with average and below. andruw jones, edmonds and guys like them make that play in the first that gabe didn't i will not settle for garbage anymore 24 yrs is enough it's time do something.

[brettac1]

Well, more than anything "us guys" think RISP AVG is a junk stat.

 

Clark has a .381 OBP - there's no way Gwynn would do that. I never said he was Jones or Edmonds, either.

I'm a fan. I say try something different. The only big problem with that is that you're constantly changing lineups. Who knows though, that might not be all that bad.

 

Start Gwynn until he falters(on a consistent basis).

 

Start gross in right.

[mpepy05]

Have you traveled back in time to tell us that the brewers don't have a chance?

[brettac1]

What?

[dhirt23]

I guess what i'm tired of watching is we start players just about everyday that on most teams they would be on the bench. I guess i'm tired of being that land of oppoprtunity for players to play everyday when in most places they wouldn't

[MillerBombers]

Clark has a .381 OBP - there's no way Gwynn would do that. I never said he was Jones or Edmonds, either.

 

That is fine if there's no way Gwynn puts up that OBP, but Brady doesn't score on Princes double anyways. I would rather take someone with a lot of range in center that could actually save us some runs, a lot of speed on the basepaths with maybe a .350 OBP. Not only that neither Brady nor Gross can put themselves in scoring position on their own if they do get on.

[mpepy05]

What?

 

I guess you know gwynn doesn't attain clark type OBP numbers. That's all I'm saying.

[mpepy05]

Not that I'm guaranteeing he will.

The Yankees would have killed to have Gross or Clark in the OF instead of Bubba Crosby and Melky Cabrera.

Well, fine. Since we are no longer in the playoff race, why didn't we trade clark to the yanks.

[crossface21]

That's 4 HR's.

[mpepy05]

Yeah, gross should start in right.

[MillerBombers]

And that is why Gabe is better suited to be a 3-4-5 guy. That a boy Gabe.

[JoeH33]

I'm just saying, Gross and Clark aren't nearly as bad as people seem to think they are. In fact, Gross is having a darn good year, and Clark is doing a great job of getting on base.
