Gabe Gross, baby! He even wipes out the Sharpie loss.

 

I founded his fan club Tuesday night. I'm glad I did.

[wisconsinfan47]

Hmmmm, lets see...Gabe Gross, Dave Bush, and Prince Fielder...who needs Lyle! That trade looks better every day...

 

Does Gabe Gross pick up Wes Helms' pinch hitting prowess?

 

Let's get some more runs!

[Mad Hatter 610]

Isn't it nice to have some good hitter on the bench?

 

On a side note, with the pitchers spot comming up wouldn't it of been better to go with someone else other then Helling for a one inning spot start?

[JoeH33]

Gabe as really came through for us so far off the bench.....now how 'bout a bomb here from Hardy for the 2 run lead.

[BrewCrewForever]

And lets not forget Zach Jakcson down in the minors! Someday he will be in that starting rotation.

[Brewer Fever]

Awesome Gabe Gross!

 

Bad Chad scored from second on a single!?!?!?! How bout that 3rd base coach Dale Svuem!

[DHonks]

also, I should mention that Hardy's third AB, he lined out to CF. But the ball was one of the hardest hit balls we've seen.

 

Tough day so far for Weeks, as I don't think he's hit one more than about 10 feet.

[Sheets4theHOF]

Gabe Gross Mr. Pinch Hit. This brewer's bench as predicted has been a big strength so far.

[BrewCrewForever]

So nice to see Prince get the 3 hit game and a HR, get some of the haters off his back. And man anyone else notice that he seems to be doing fine at 1B? People were always ripping his D and he has made a lot of fine plays.

[wisconsinfan47]

Nice to see JDLR with some command...he's lookin' good.

 

*knock on wood*

[BrewCrewForever]

Totally agree with what Powell is saying that if JDLR has good command he has as good of pure stuff as anybody. Nice inning JDLR!

[DHonks]

nice outing for Jorge. He actually commanded his pitches well, not hanging a changeup or curve. Looked sharp. Also, it appears he's scrapped the windup

[hawing]

Sounded good for Jorge. I hope Batman either got to see it or hear it.

[wisconsinfan47]

Yeah, I liked the Turnbow analogy that Powell gave...coming in to last year Turnbow was wild with great stuff...and he's been molded into one of the best closers in the game.

 

Lets get JDLR there too and there's another solid guy for the bullpen.

[Thats Freakin Sweet]

JORGE!!!!

 

Way to work ahead!

[samwise]

how close was lee's ball to being fair? Does anyone have an idea?

[hawing]

Look, they've got Terry Mulholland. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/indifferent.gif

[wisconsinfan47]

Oooh, that was close by Lee.

 

Over 29K in the house today...another good crowd.

[tyguy20204]

It was only a few feet from being fair.

[BrewCrewForever]

2 out double by Koskie, come Rickie your due !

[JoeH33]

Some two out magic here perhaps. Koskie with the double.

[DHonks]

Lee's shot was about 4 feet foul. Tom Brenneman, the moment it left the bat, said "and the Brewers will have the lead"

 

Sounded a lot better than it actually flew.

[DHonks]

Rickie about 10 feet shy of the party area. A nice drive, but they had Shawn Green playing deep.

[JoeH33]

Blah....really could have used a hit from Rickie there...

[DHonks]

Conor Jackson, aka, the better, right-handed version of Lyle Overbay.
