Sorry fellas, I gotta stop here...

[BCZF]

Bush sounding good today..

[brewizard]

I really like Dave Bush. Melvin got a GREAT deal in the Overbay trade.

[brettac1]

I think Bush alone is going to turn out being worth trading Overbay for. And I think Jackson will be better than Bush. Moustaches rule.

[ja002h]

Hooray for Bush.

 

Miller's having a pretty good spring as well.

[fondybrewfan]

Sheesh someone bring Bush back down to earth. We are going to be very dissappointed when he gives up a run. It will be Ohka all over again. He shut out Tampa and after that we probably set our expectations to high. He really should just pull an Eveland or somethin to bring my excitement down a few notches

[Ayt]

I don't know if you guys have seen Bush pitch but his curve is outstanding as is his control. His main problem has been his inability to strike guys out once he gets ahead in the count. Working with the demi-god Mike Maddux could really turn him into a very nice young starter. He could pull a Capuano and win 15+ games this year.

Ask and ye shall receive.

 

Next time, don't ask.

[BrewCrewRising]

Top of the 4th, and Bush gives up his first run in 9 innings of spring training work.

 

I hope this guy does better in the regular season http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/tongue.gif

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And Zach Jackson works out of a jam by getting Mike Cameron to bounce out. Doesn't fall apart after loading the bases. Gritty.

 

I'm liking the Overbay trade more and more.

[berniebrewer4life]

Wow, great to see Bush doing so well.

[brewmann04]

any updates?

[BrewCrewForever]

Bush, Jackson, and Gross for Overbay. That is another reason to worship the genius that is Doug Melvin.

[BrewCrewRising]

Bottom of 6th

 

Hart just tripled to score Cirillo.

 

Coskie follows with a double to score Hart.

 

Score 4-4.

 

----------------------------------

Abernathy replaces Coskie as a baserunner at 2nd.

D. Miller singles in Abernathy.

 

5-4 Crew.

 

Zach Jackson sacrifice bunt to send Miller to 2nd. (a pitching, bunting animal)

Brady Clark strikes out.

Bill Hall sends Miller home on an error.

Jenkins flies out.

End of 6.

6-4 Crew

 

Update: I had to change the netcast to the San Diego broadcasters because Bill and Darron were getting on my nerves. Padre announcers love the sausage race. I think they are jealous. Who wouldn't be?

[brewmann04]

abernathy having a pretty good spring also

[berniebrewer4life]

Hart with the triple speed. Good to see.http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/happy.gif

[JohnBriggs12]

I beginning to wonder about Clark. He's K'd 10 times so far this spring.

 

He seems as if he's working on upping his walk totals by taking a lot more pitches but by doing so, he's forced to hit the pitcher's pitch. Since its spring, that's fine, but I think if he does that in the regular season, yes he'll get more walks but at the expense of fewer hits.

[brettac1]

I'm starting to feel good about Clark again, now that he is working deeper counts again, maybe '04 Brady's going to make a reappearance - I like that one better than '05 Brady, though I'll take them both.

[Brian the Automator]

I'm getting a little nervous about Turnbow. I hope he's not turning back into a pumpkin. He's not a location pitcher, so i'm really expecting him to pick up the pace pretty soon.

[IslandsAC]

Bush looked really good today. I was even pleased with Jackson even though he had some control problems in the rough inning.

 

Hart smacked the skin off of his triple, and he had a really nice diving catch.

 

Everyone said it was a mild day in Maryvale, but I'll tell you, its no Wisconsin march. Even got to see Melvin and Gord Ash sitting 20 rows back behind home plate, good stuff...

Bush looked really nice today.

does anyone know if turnbow has changed back to the familiar side of the rubber? If not, it might be good for him to go back soon to get used to it before the regular season.

[brewizard]

Yeah, Turnbow abandoned the other side of the rubber for the familiar approach.

 

But I'm more nervous about Sheets and -say- Kolb right now than I am about Turnbow.
