Bush's Splits vs. Colorado

 

Bush will make his first start since July 22 when the Brewers and Rockies continue a series at Coors Field. Bush has appeared twice in relief since his last start (0-1, 16.88 ERA) but has produced 12 quality starts this year. (MLB.com)

Fogg's Splits vs. Milwaukee

 

Fogg struggled mightily in his last start, giving up three home runs, six runs and nine hits in four innings against the Padres. But the Rockies' offense bailed him out in a 9-8, 10-inning victory. Fogg struck out five, but on a night hwne he could not get hitters off his changeup he struggled. Fogg, however, has given up three or fewer runs in 10 of his last 13 starts. (MLB.com)

anybody else worried that Bushie's relief outings are going to hurt him big-time in Colorado?

[Oldcity]

Why does it seem like the guys who kept this team afloat in the first half are kind of falling apart now? See Capuano, Bush.

[pitchleague]

probably the same reason that the offense usually flounders for Ben Sheets or Roger Clemens: the ol' "We don't have to do much today because our ace is on the mound". Of course, in your question it would be changed to those pitchers saying, "Well, we did our job while they got to relax. Now it's our turn 'cause I'm pooped out."

It's the Milwaukee Brewers. If they didn't fall apart then we'd actually have a fairly decent chance at the wild card. That's why.

[wisconsinfan47]

I'm a little worried about Bush today.

 

A lot of his success comes from that slow breaking-ball that really keeps hitters off balance.

 

At Coors Field however, breaking balls really flatten out.

 

If the slow-curve abandons him, he'll have to work on some other off-speed stuff or else the Rox will just sit on that fastball all night and Bish will be gone by the 3rd inning.

 

Come on boys, some road success tonight, eh?

[B2k1121]

Does Fogg throw a sinker? If he does, we lose.

Be careful there. That's asking for quite a bit.

[mikerollins]

Yawn.

 

No Cirillo. No Hart. No Gross. No Gwynn.

 

Apparently last night's 2 hour and 6 minute debacle offensively didn't call for any changes in the lineup.

[PeaveyFury]

Has Gross even PH recently? Is he nursing an injury of some kind, because he's been MIA.

[wibadgers23]

I dont have much confidence in tonights game. Bush has been struggling and were facing an ex-Pirate in Fogg. Same friggin line-up tonight as well.

[giffted1]

Is it possible that Yost suffers from memory loss? Someone should remind him how that killer lineup did last night.

 

I usually don't blame Yost, but he needs to change things around.

[Schlitz001]

Did Billy do something wrong?

[Bigtop79]

Yes, Billy is still hitting above 270. In order for him to move up in the order he only has to drop his average. That is what Bill Hall must do to move back up in the lineup. Start to hit like Jenks........nah, if Billy starts to swing it like Jenks....God help us all.

[wibadgers23]

Cirillo is really in trouble then because he's hitting well above .300. No wonder he hasnt been getting any starts lately. All he has to do is get that average down in the .260 - .280 range like everybody else and he will earn himself some more starts.

[thablingster]

Fogg is another guy who has fared well against us in his career.

 

Bush is going to need to bring it tonight.

[JohnBriggs12]

Once again, the only two plus .300 hitters sit.

 

What is the guy (Yost) thinking?

 

I know I'm thinking we missed the boat on Leyland.

[iluvlamp]

great the new Burnitz

[JoeH33]

This game looks like it has the makings of another snoozer. I'm feeling a 5-1 Rockies win, with Bill Hall hitting a 9th inning solo shot.

[cruiserx43]

Wow we just threw out a runner...good job Damian.

[Riebes24]

Weird, I think Bill and Darron have a crush on Bell and Graffinino.

[JoeH33]

Are the planets aligned or something...?? Jenkins just got a hit!

[hurricane3184]

Jenkins finally got a hit!

[Riebes24]

Good thing we are cutting down on those K's!
