7/8/2006 Cubs (Marmol) @ Brewers (Bush) 6:05 CST

Woa, the Bud is in the house.

Bush is dealing tonight!

What a trade that Overbay deal is turning out to be, I admit I didn't like Gross at first but he's coming on really strong lately.

Also, if you compare Bush's numbers to Cappy's they are basically the same except the era. I think Bush is in position to finish strong this season and shutting out the Cubs will be the first step.

Hall Never Walks

 

5K in his last 6 AB's or something like that. He just doesn't take any pitches, and has swung at some really bad balls.

[fondybrewfan]

Bush has been very very good his last 6 or 7 starts. Doug and his staff seem to have a very good knack for talent. Toronto all but gave up on this guy. At his best I bet Bush could finish with an ERA around 3.6 or so. But we have to remember we are playing the cubs,

[badgerfan.tgf]

At what point do we start to worry about the offense? We look pretty bad up there. Hall, Fielder, Carlos are all struggling and it's killing our run production.

[B2k1121]

We can't hit this guy.

[fondybrewfan]

Rickie is a hit by pitch machine. He doenst stand that close to the plate which is kind of puzzling why he gets hit so much

[adambr2]

Seriously, is Rickie going to be the all-time most HBP's by a Brewer by the end of the season -- in his second year?? Sure seems like he's on his way!

[adambr2]

Come on guys. Carlos Marmol should not be shutting us down like this. Bush is pitching great but I don't expect him to throw a shutout.

[fondybrewfan]

Damn

[jloos19]

We've hit a ton of balls on the nose this weekend and they just aren't finding holes/gaps. Look at the last hit by Cirillo for instance. I wouldn't worry about the offense. Yes we're struggling a bit right now, but the all-star game is in two games, and they will get a much needed rest. I'm confident that after the break, the Fielder's and the Hall's will start mashing again.

We can't hit anyone that's not wearing a Reds uniform. It's really getting frustrating. We should be up 5-0 tonight.

[adamb100]

Theres goes the lead.

[PeaveyFury]

Jenkins looked totally lost there, but in his defense, that was about as poor a hop as that ball could have taken off the wall.

[B2k1121]

I am going to be angry if we don't score anymore tonight.

[adambr2]

Crap. Now we DO need to start scoring. A split in this series would be a little disappointing. Losing 3 of 4 going would really be a confidence killer heading into the AS break.

[PeaveyFury]

And suddenly Bush is getting the snot beat out of him.

[fondybrewfan]

Come off the ledge everyone, Marmol has 86 pitches through 4 innings. Well get some more runs. Actually Ill gaurantee next inning well retake the lead

[B2k1121]

The offense is terrible lately, aside from Cirillo, Jenks and Carlos, but when those guys get on base we can expect Fielder and Hall not to get it done.

I'll hold you to that.

The only problem with that is the Cubs have some pretty good arms in their pen. Although right now I'll take my chances against anyone not named Marmol.

[B2k1121]

What does the Tavern of the Game mean? That bar is right down the street from me.

[adambr2]

First pitch flyout. We're not even making Marmol work right now.

Well you were close.

[badgerfan.tgf]

Can someone tell me why we aren't able to hit this guy's fastball? I think he's thrown two curveballs for strikes tonight yet we're not keying on his fastball.

 

Another 1-2-3 inning. This isn't looking good. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/frown.gif
