Here we go.. lol

Did Ricky just poke another offspeed pitch? After the HR on a change off Pedro? Amazing.

[Trowekamp]

I agree that Jenkins is not bad.. I would rate him as an above average player..my issue is that he is not going to get better and his downsides (K's, streakiness) will always be there... I think for someone that streaky he is better hitting 6th until he gets on a roll.

[steve267268]

WOAHHHHHHH

 

Did Weeks just hit a curveball?

[iluvlamp]

well double....lol...I'd venture it is close though jet

[iluvlamp]

I agree with you there. It's just I am getting worn down by the absolute negativity over him. He's a good ballplayer..now get a hit....lol

[PeaveyFury]

There's no guarantee Lidle throws the same pitch with Koskie not on base.

 

But then you're dealing purely in hypotheticals. Miller hit what would have been a DP ball immediately following the CS, and that's undebatable.

 

And for the record, if that throw was off the line by another inch or two, Koskie had it stolen.

[adambr2]

I'm surprised J.J. doesn't take more heat. He's having a pretty dismal year so far, at least offensively.

[Team Canada]

And that's a lead!

[kilgore37]

gj jenks

[tpepl626]

Nice job Jenkins! Hopefully this guy can get hot too and we can just score 10 a game until Sheets gets healthy.

[iluvlamp]

very nice Jenks

[steve267268]

Looks like Jenks is heating up....

 

those oppo hits are how it usually starts for jenks

[jloos19]

When Geoff goes to the opposite field, you know he's seeing it really well. Very nice to see there.

[DuWayne Steurer]

Anyone else tired of watching Carlos dog it down the line on groundballs?

[iluvlamp]

Adam, I do get on JJ a lot. To the point I almost got run here http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif I believe Hall should start at SS. If Brady does not come along within another month...Then let's see

[Trowekamp]

I know I have said it before but when talking about whether Hall should replace Hardy or Clark doesn't it come down to whether you think a 24 year old prospect or a 32 year old journeyman has the best chance to improve?

[adambr2]

I'd like to thank the Phillies batters there for helping Cappy get a much needed quick inning.

[JoeH33]

Cappy needed that DP there, he's gotta have a quick inning or two since he's already up to 62 pitches through 4.

[Trowekamp]

Maybe they should just have Weeks pretend he is turning a double play each time.

[TheCrew07]

What's not to like about JJ Hardy?

 

I'm not sold on Hall, he was good last year, he's been good so far this year. Hall's going to replace Rickie in my opinion, and Rickie will go to center. These throwing errors are simply inexcusable, it should be so easy to correct, but he keeps doing the same dumb things. Though I actually agree with Bill, Prince's stretch on that ball was pretty crappy.

 

Nice DP there to end the half inning.

[steve267268]

That was a beautiful turn by Rickie... how it should be every time, though.

 

I think Prince drives one here. Either gone or off the wall.

 

Let's do it!

[iluvlamp]

Trow...to a point I agree...but Clark after the 2nd half of 2004 has batted over .300. I think his leash has been very short. Maybe that's good, we'll see, because I think Yost has given up on Brady even with his 29 starts this years

Well, he certainly wouldn't be replacing Hardy permanently. As far as Clark goes, I think Hall's future is in the infield. How about Hall at 2B and Weeks at CF? Assuming Weeks can figure out how to play CF.

[Pointer1VB]

Sutton inadvertantly insults Koskie...

 

"Corey Koskie is a man who does his talking with his bat... Pretty quiet guy."
