[SeriesFinale]

Sharpie's starting to settle down a bit

[jakesdaddio]

Edmonds struggling against lefties!

[jakesdaddio]

Nice inning by Sharpie. Not wasting pitches anymore.

[Brewer Fever]

That's funny cause short ABs is exactly what led to Koskie's double today and his three hits on Sunday. I've said it before and I'll say it again. Sometimes against pitchers with lesser stuff who are throwing strikes you just have to go after them. It didn't work out for Corey there, but his appraoch has been more successful than just about everyone else.

 

If a lesser pitcher is having trouble finding the strike zone, yeah then patience is your friend. But if that lesser pitcher is throwing strikes all you're doing is setting yourself up for 0-2, 1-2, and 2-2 counts.

[CportBadger]

6 pitch inning for DD.

[Brewer Fever]

Now lets jump on this guy. Go after him...don't sit up there with the bat on your shoulder until you've got 2 strikes against you.

[jakesdaddio]

After Fielder, there are 3 automatic outs right now in our lineup. Not a good thing. At least we have Hardy, Weeks, and Gross off the bench if we need them later.

[Moneyv613]

four innings only 49 pitches, so far so good for sharpie. I hope he keeps it up and takes us deep.

[markwitx]

Prince with a hit.

[Ennder]

I don't even like listening to the game when they face Suppan. The guy is a below average pitcher except when he faces the Brewer's and becomes a Cy Young pitcher.

[homer]

Man, Suppan has just owned the Brewers the last three years.

 

8-1, with a 2.48 ERA 1.13WHiP 42K's 17BB

[jakesdaddio]

You are absolutely right about going after guys who throw strikes. I never understood why you would take pitches against a guy who is throwing strikes regularly. Get aggressive!! Still, I would've liked Corey to take a pitch or 2. I am a hypocrite!!!http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

[Brewer Fever]

Bill Hall...watch 2 strikes float by...down 0-2...pop up.

[Ralph Wiggum]

Clark isn't hitting will right now, but he's far from an automatic out. He's been getting some pretty decent at bats.

[SeriesFinale]

Take that base big man

[Brewer Fever]

Hey Prince! Goes after the 2nd strike and first pitch in his zone and gets a hit. Keep it up guys.

[jloos19]

Alright, we'll depend on Brady here if Doug can get them in scoring position.

[SeriesFinale]

take that base little man

[markwitx]

a hit for chad.

[brettac1]

Moeller: Rakin'.

[Ralph Wiggum]

allright Chad! Now bunt them over Douggie

[brettac1]

That sucked.

[markwitx]

come on bad bunt

[Silicon Based Lifeform]

Alright, we'll depend on Brady here if Doug can get them in scoring position.

 

How about PH Hardy for Clark and have Hall play CF.

 

Edit: How about we actually get a pitcher that can bunt.....Davis should donate 1/30th of his salary to charity every time he fails to move the runner over.

[Brewer Fever]

Brady...drive the first strike you see.
