04/14/2006 Brewers (Capuano) @ Mets (Glavine) 6:10 PM CST

[JoeH33]

Alright I'll take a walk from Billy there, all we need is some baserunners.

[KyBrewer]

For anyone who has the pleasure of watching the Mets broadcast on SNY (via MLB.TV), is Ralph Kiner drunk?

[DHonks]

come on Rickie. We could use anything here

[JoeH33]

7 Strikouts through 4 and 2/3's. Not exactly an ideal start to this game to say the least.http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/frown.gif

[badgerfan.tgf]

Alright! Runners on first and third, two out. Cue the weak grounder from Damian. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/embarassed.gif

[Silicon Based Lifeform]

May be time to move Prince up in the batting order and Jenkins down in the batting order.

[markwitx]

ahhhh. can't get any breaks.

Brewer opponents get clutch hits with RISP, the Brewers don't.

Story of the season so far. I said earlier in the week that its like the Brewers are trying to get to their "quota" of 10 hits without scoring a run. More than two hits in an inning? Yeah right.

[Team Canada]

see Toby's post above (Team Canada).

 

Actually Toby is And That. I know I just made things confusing with the name change. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

[AJAY]

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOO !!!!!!!!!!

[Team Canada]

This offense is frustrating.

[whiskybadger]

or breaks

[JET15]

I'm tired of leaving men on base. We're dead last in RBIs in MLB. Dead last.

 

Where did all of that hitting go that we saw in Spring Training?

So who were you in your previous life?

[whiskybadger]

It would be nice if the brewers actually got a break on a close play every oh sayyyyyyyyyyyyyy 2 seasons?

 

 

Brewers get a close call for them vs the NEWYORK mets?

 

hhahahahahhahahaha

 

badgerfan ur my idol u tell it like it is unlike so many here

[adambr2]

7 strikeouts through 4. Wow, are you kidding?

 

This offense just becomes completely hapless anytime there is any threat of scoring, and Miller is basically becoming an auto-out. Pretty frustrating.

It'll come around. Its still very early in the season and since we have so many young players in key positions, our offense is going to take some time to develop. I think most everyone knew this was going to happen, its just frustrating to see it unfold.

 

edit: spelling

[badgerfan.tgf]

Let's just say that at this point in the season we're extremely lucky to have 6 wins considering the way we've been playing. This offense is pathetic right now and I'm not sure when it's gonna change. Other than Lee, no one can get a hit with a runner in scoring position.

[Team Canada]

ja002h. I kept the old signature for a while (and had this avatar befoe the switch), hoping to maintain continuity.

[markwitx]

double play!

[JoeH33]

Big DP there, forcing Glavine to leadoff next inning.

[Team Canada]

Glavine's actually thrown more pitches than Cappy so far. Hopefully he's gone after 6.

 

 

Good start with the Cappy hit.

[DannoMac21]

Wow, Cappy with the best Brewer hit of the night.

[markwitx]

cappy with a hit. gets to 2nd on a error. thats a start.

[adambr2]

Yep, just checked, same story as last year so far. 30th (dead last) in the majors hitting with RISP. 29th in RISP with 2 outs. And that was before today, 0-2 so far in each category tonight won't help.

 

Not to beat on a dead horse here, and I know fault has to be put on the execution by the guys, but does Butch Wynegar have any redeeming value as a batting coach at all? If he suddenly just stopped coming to work, would the offense even get worse? I don't see how they could.
