340 against lefties, 1 strikeout vs. lefties all year.. you walk this man..

 

and as i'm typing this.. he strikes him out.. dumb move..but that took stones.. and great pitching by davis..

[Blue584ever]

No one's actually able to watch the game on TV, so we're all listening to Uecker. The Uecker factor is simply that every brewer out is on an incredibly hard hit ball, about 10% of the times he says "Get up, get up..." result in homers, only half make the warning track.

 

This can be attributed to a couple things. One would say "The old-time radio announcers would have to make every play very exciting to promote the game. They even had to simulate the crack of the bat. It's the sign of a great announcer." Others would say Ueck is losing it and slowly evolving to Harry Carey. Personally, I'd just like to be told what's really happening in the game. Or televise all the games so i can make my own judgements.

Haha. Good ol Heart & Soul.

[stkmtimo]

Throw the big yacker, Doug.

[DuluthBrew]

Go to the game then. While listening to the radio there will always be room for interpretation.

[PeaveyFury]

Of course Lowell picks this AB to stop sucking...

 

But got him out.

[steve267268]

But it wasn't a rock. It was a Rock Lobster!!!

 

 

 

 

 

ROCK LOBSTER!!!!!

[ja002h]

Wow, that was HUGH.

 

GET SOME RUNS

[H0FFY]

Doug can stay. He knows how to get to .500. Gutsy, gutsy performance.

 

I wonder if the offense has enough ticker to collect ONE RUN to get Davis a win and get to .500. To be honest, our batters are annoying me, but seems to be more bad luck than choking.

 

But I want them to do a good job each pitch, not just start hacking which is their tendency when things get tight.

 

Great job Doug. Now batters, get ONE RUN.

[steve267268]

Here's where i disagree Ned. Against the Right handed pitcher i would have Prince up there.

 

But that's me.

[Cooper]

WESLEY.

 

Enter the caveman.

[dixieflatline]

Does Yost hate prince? Is there any good reason Helms should be batting here?

 

edit: just because it worked doesn't make me think it was a good move.

[stkmtimo]

Nice hit Wes!

[Jacob008]

please dont bunt rickie

[steve267268]

Ha, okay so i turned out to be wrong..

 

Now here i would, um, pinch hit for Weeks with Magruder.

[H0FFY]

Some guy batting .312 is standing on second base for us. I am confused.

[steve267268]

Oh and, since i'm 0-2 and about to be 0-3 on my calls today.. No Kane Davis either!

[mikevan1818]

We gotta get Doug the win here...

[ja002h]

Wes Helms: Best PH EVER.

[H0FFY]

I think Ned has made a number of managing errors today as pointed out here. But the players are sure overcoming that. They are not big errors, but Ned is sure telling the stat gods that his gut is more powerful than them.

[moofnelson]

Time for Carlos to earn his paycheck for this month.

[H0FFY]

my money is on Carlos, that is what he came here to do, get rbis... I think Mota can only go one inning now, the guys have done ok against him

[PeaveyFury]

I'd just like to point out what a huge joke it is that no radio station in Madison is carrying the game today.

[stkmtimo]

Poor, poor Doug Davis.

[moofnelson]

Carlos, Carlos, Carlos. You were so much fun to watch a couple of months ago.http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/mad.gif
