Hmmm...I hope it's not a serious injury. Brewers need JJ if they want to continue winning at this point.

[markwitx]

the scrubs are allready down 3-0 to st louis!

[markwitx]

shutout is gone

[rluzinski]

So what are the Brewers w/RISP this game?

[AJAY]

I guess we'll just have to score a few more then.

[markwitx]

14-2

[AJAY]

Uecker just said "Tampa Bay" gets two.

I kinda love the fact that Uecker doesn't know if he's in Phoenix or Tampa Bay... Must be the uniforms, or the fact that TB's gm sang the national anthem at the BOB this afternoon.

 

EDIT: Aw, he corrected himself... Always the constant professional.

[BrewCrewForever]

Come on Prince, do it again!

[rluzinski]

Brewers are 7-13 w/RISP. CLUTCH!!!!!

[H0FFY]

Two points about this (three actually)

 

1) Maddux has completely change Ohka K to BB ratio; before Mike he was terrible (I think about 1:1); since Mike he must be like 2 or 3 to 1

 

2) I like games where the guys absolutely bash; it can get into their brains that they are good enough to bat well in all situations... even when the pressure is on... they are just training themselves to THINK they are good!

 

3) If they can really figure out how to get above .500 (even if it is by good luck (most here say they are below .500 only because of luck, so I guess the bad can become good luck))... if they get above .500 they will sit all winter thinking they are winners... not 'nearly' winners

 

2 and 3 will help this team immensely... much more than any physical improvement or big off season signing

[Cooper]

Turf toe is cruddy (Powell said that's what JJ left with)... Here's hoping that goes away in the offseason.

[emunney]

Good to see Rickie joining the fun.

[Southwest Brewer]

Tomo Going 9?

 

Bullpen ready for Houston!

[brewmann04]

whatcould have been

I'm sure you mean that TB's gm's daughter sang the national anthem.

[mls4]

"Tomo Going 9?

 

Bullpen ready for Houston!"

 

He's already over 100 pitches. I'm surprised he's out there for the 7th.

[Southwest Brewer]

110 Pitches so far - overhand

 

He can go underhand as far as I'm concerned

Ned has a most interesting philosphy. Even in blowouts he is throwing his guys 115 - 120 or more pitches. He has done that to Cappy a couple of times.

 

I would be tempted to baby the pitchers, get them out early, save them for next start. But I wonder what is best. I cannot complain about the results. But maybe Ned could give guys like JDLR some more work.

 

We better see that wild man today!

[markwitx]

another hit for jeff c. the dbacks radio guys are even doing play by play anymore.

[rwa12]

How many more starts does Ohka have? 3 or 4? Might as well use him. If this was July it might be a different story

He doesn't have a choice, he doesn't have much of a bullpen left to pitch with. That's not something to pin on Ned, that's something to pin on the team for not scoring more runs last night before the entire bullpen was spent. (Funny how even when we are winning by 12, someone finds something to complain about.)

[hawing]

Muscle's batting for Ohka. Thank you, Tomo. C'mon Russell.

[markwitx]

just went to the brewers site and checked the ticket for the last game, only a couple of thousand tickets left
