Happy Mothers Day Willie, we'll see you in October!http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

 

This series took at least a decade off my life but I couldn't be more excited. Bill Hall, WOW!

[Trowekamp]

Arguing whether to bench Brady, Jenkins, Weeks, or Hardy is soo much more fun than our choices a 3 - 4 years ago...

[JET15]

What's Cory doing in AAA right now?

[Trowekamp]

The other thing to not overlook is Damian Miller is the best hitting catcher in the NL so far this year.. another great signing by Doug Melvin..

 

 

With Melvin's history you almost say to start Brady everyday because if Doug signed him to 2 years he must know something.

 

It hurt to type that last sentence but I have not evidence to the contrary.

[Trowekamp]

Hart is tearing up triple A.. I think last night I looked and if he played a full season he was on pace for .320 28 HR's 72 SB's..

He's batting .309 with 4 HR 18 RBI and 9 SB

[Ennder]

I don't have a big problem benching Brady because a) he's not a big part of the future of this club, b) he's only a marginal hitter anyway, c) he doesn't really have any upside over last years numbers and I find it unlikely he would repeat them, d) he's not a very good defensive CF either.

 

I have no problem with him becoming a part time player for us. I don't want Hall to start full time at CF though, he's much more valuable moving around.

 

Hardy on the other hand needs every chance he can get at SS because he is thought of as the longterm future of this team at SS.

[AJ Love]

{Don't get me wrong, I'm in the "bench Brady as much as possible camp," but JJ has not being doing much to make his presence required. I think the Brewers could certainly "afford" to keep him on the bench, as he's not producing.}

 

JJ gives us more defense than Clark and is at least as good of a hitter if not better... I like Hall and Hardy in the lineup better than Hall and Clark

 

I'd sit Clark except vs lefties when you sit Koskie, or to occasionally spell Jenkins

[RightFieldCoder]

To be fair to StrawBoss, if Hardy had started the game it would have been Hall who would have come in on the double switch. Then he could have hit the walk-off to start the 10th instead of waiting for there to be two outs.

 

Greatest series in The Keg's history?!? I'll take the "Billy Hall single handedly beats the Reds" from two years ago. It also had a craptacular Brewer hit for the cycle for the first time in Milwaukee ever. Plus one of our biggest come backs. Until there is playoffs here, I beleive that will be the biggest series.

[gobrew23]

And speaking of bringing up AAA players, Mike Rivera:

 

.380/.437/.630, 5 HR, 19 RBI

[jloos19]

In great series in Miller Park history, you have to consider the Cubs series last year in May when we walk-offed the Cubs three straight games. Now that was fun.

[Trowekamp]

Is there anybody here who doesn't believe Rivera deserves a shot to replace Moeller?

[happydays1950]

Just got home from the game, i took my mom and niece. We left after the 9th inning my niece was getting tired. Anyway another great game . This has to go down as on of the best weekends since we moved to Miller park, the crowd of over 28000 was really into it.

[pitchleague]

I would be willing to name this "greatest series in Miller Park history" if we suddenly roll out to win 18 of our next 22 games or something. A win like today would be a big team motivator to do such a thing.

 

Until that happens, of course, I'll wait to pass judgement.

Good job Bill Hall.

[AJAY]

I wish I could have been there but I was headed out of town and was only able to catch about 6 innings until I lost the WTMJ signal near Toledo, Ohio. Anyway, when ESPN radio had a breaking news update during the Baseball Show saying that Bill Hall hit a walkoff game winning HR to beat the Mets,

everyone in my car was screaming and high-fiving each other.

 

It was awesome http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/happy.gif

[UeckerAddict]

First time I've gotten to post since being at both Saturday and Sunday's games. Both were great. I was one row above Bill Hall's mom for the mother's day game and later saw her on sportscenter. Too cool. Saturday's game was great despite the loss. I was in section 103 and the place was going hogwild.

Even the driver?

[hkdakd]

I was at this game too and the stadium was just rocking. It was awesome to have the walk off homer.

 

Whenever I go to games I always get to see plenty of action whether it's lots of homers, runs, people running on the field or arguements between fans.

 

I love baseball! http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif
