4/9/06 D'Backs (Vargas) @ Brewers (Capuano) 1:05 CST

[Rob]

I think what the last inning showed is that for all the good things that have been said about JDLR, Yost still does not have the confidence to bring him in when things are tight.

[brewmann04]

any one has to know if Cappy was losing it

[adambr2]

Clue #1 - Cappy's PC was over 100, very high for early in the season.

 

Clue #2 - He had just walked in a run to make it 2-0, still a very winnable ballgame at that point.

 

Clue #3 - It was his 3rd walk of the inning.

 

 

I am at a loss as to what Yost was thinking. I think he's a good manager, but this loss will fall a lot on his shoulders if we lose this one 4-2 or 4-3. It was a very "Grady Little" type of decision.

Rickie desperetly needs a hit right here to get off the schnide!

[uwisfan]

apparently Arizona has figured out that you send out your worst pitchers to beat the brewers

[strawbossisevil]

What is wrong with Brady Clark? He seems to be really struggling. His slow start certainly has hurt us so far this year.

[adamb100]

Alright, lets produce some runs! C'mon Fielder, over the wall!!

Yeah. If Brady was doing better this team would be undefeated....oh wait, we are....

[wOOgiE22]

C'mon Damian we need a big hit here!

[Mad Hatter 610]

Another Hit by pitch. Sure has happened alot so far this year for the brewers. This was Weeks second. Wasn't he hit by a lot by pitches in the minors?

[adamb100]

Miller grounds out.

 

Ugh, someone wake up the bats.

[strawbossisevil]

We may be undefeated, but every single game has been close. And not having your leadoff hitter produce is something that will hurt you a lot in the long run. Its early so I'm gonna give Clark the benefit of the doubt for a couple of weeks but this can't continue for much longer.

 

Also, please take the attitude down a notch, thanks much appreciated.

[Playmaker13]

I don't think it was an attitude thing....what he wrote about the sarcastic Brady Clark comment is exactly what I was going to write haha.....stay positive kid's....we have the best record in the majors!

[temke]

you have to give the guys at least 2 weeks to start to produce. nothing will kill confidence than getting benched in the first week or two of the season...even if only for a game.

[adambr2]

I think the most frustrating thing about today's loss, if we don't come back, is the fact that too much of it just reeked of the mistakes from last year's team. AGAIN, not coming through with runners in scoring position. Clumsy errors and excessive walks costing us runs. Scrub pitchers or any guy named (insert name of Triple A prospect making his debut) shutting down the bats. We're still going to be 5-1 at worst, but it's a little frustrating to see.

[sheetswannabe]

Fernandez looks good. I like the knuckleball. 1-2-3 inning.

[wisconsinfan47]

Knuckleballer lookin' good.

 

Anyone coming back from the game and reading this later on: How does it look it person?

[wOOgiE22]

Good inning for Fernandez!

[Silicon Based Lifeform]

We may be undefeated, but every single game has been close.

 

So. They won every one, I couldn't care if he was 0 for the season as long as the team is winning. I'll worry about one game at a time.

 

 

Also, please take the attitude down a notch, thanks much appreciated.

 

Oh please. This is a public message board and if you can't handle the comment I made then you're skin's way too thin for the web.

[rluzinski]

If Yost knew he was pulling Miller for Moeller anyway, why the heck did he have Miller bat with 2 on and 2 out? Did he honestly think Miller was the best option there? I'd rather have, Hall, Hart, Cirillo or Gross before Miller.

[uwisfan]

if its any consolation detroit is losing in the 9th

[DHonks]

I'm not sure who wins Least Valuable player today...Weeks, Jenkins, or Clark

 

Boy, I've been very good about not bashing Jenkins so far, but my patience is wearing thin. I sure hope he doesn't play tomorrow, because he has that same "dear in the headlights" look at the plate.

 

Would be nice if Clark would get on base a bit more

 

Would be nice if Weeks would stop doing his Belliard/Jose Hernandez impersonation by swinging at breaking balls in the dirt.

 

Of course, it's just week 1, and we're 5-1. But with this road trip coming up, we could possibly be coming home below .500. Hopefully the offense gets going in week 2, while the pitching keeps going.

He has got to save his hitters for extra innings http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

Good point rluzinski. Yost doesn't seem to have his head in the game much today, IMO.

[rluzinski]

And now Moeller bats? Double switch? What the heck is going on here?
