7/24/05 Brewers (Davis) @ Reds (Hudson) 12:15 CST

[WV Brew]

Someone has to take Mercker deep. He stinks and it's 3 in a row?

[cirillo26]

Davis is at 109 pitches. It might be time to pull him.

 

Hopefully the Crew can get him a W.

[brewerjamie15]

Just got back from running a few errands for the ol' lady. Temperature on a few thermomators I say showed 100+ degrees F.

I'm hotter than Jenkins in July-

...been listening to the game, just sat down to watch- Davis is doing great, good thing we tagged that 10+ ERA pitcher. Let's get some runs here for Davis, he deserves the win.

[rluzinski]

So the crew have scored a million runs in the last few games; Now when they only need 3 to win it they can't do it?

 

Baseball can drive a person crazy.

[crichar3]

Time for a good approach at the plate, Geoff!

[cirillo26]

Kent Mercker is an old man, he pitched for the Braves when (yeah) they sucked. Why does Lee swing at the 1st pitch?

 

Come on Jenks keep the steak alive!!!!

[crichar3]

That wasn't the approach I was looking for...

[lithium75]

exhibit B in the case of Jenkins Hot vs. Jenkins Cold...

 

2 singles in his last 12 AB's. Hope Lee and Lyle can pick it up

[markwitx]

Even if we lose today, it has been a pretty good road trip.

[cirillo26]

Well DiMaggio's record is safe.

[markwitx]

every player has a bad day. it doesn't prove anything.

[crichar3]

I'm not getting that Victory Vibe here.

 

Maybe it's just the heat interfering with my reception.

[markwitx]

doug still in

[lithium75]

There it is, if Yost hadn't left his starter in for one batter too many 20 times...And now it may be two too many

[Weirdos19]

Pick him off.

[molitor fan]

Davis' pitch total is now above the heat index for the first time today.......

 

whee....................

[crichar3]

With a pitch count over 112 on a hot day, I think it is time to go to the pen.

[molitor fan]

Just to note, Felipe Lopez is Rickie Weeks best friend.....

[rluzinski]

That's right, keep giving us free outs.

 

118 pitches. Yost think Davis is Livian??!!

[Weirdos19]

Ned may be going to far to get Davis his 10th.

 

 

He did the same last night. Santos shouldn't have pitched the fifth.

[crichar3]

The only thing I can figure is that Yost is leaving Davis out there because he holds runners so well. OK, I suppose the 11 of 12 men he has retired lately might figure into it. Or maybe Ned doesn't want to touch the bullpen?

[crichar3]

...yeah, and Casey is a lefty.

[lithium75]

DD hit 90 on the gun!!! If he gets up to 160 pitches, does he throw 94?

[cirillo26]

I would NOT let him face Kearns.

[Weirdos19]

He won't face Kearns.
