7/14/05 Nationals (Patterson) @ Brewers (Davis) 1:05 CST

[Loopee]

Now Jenkins taking away two possible hits with nice D.

 

Signs of life!

[bright eric]

Can someone please tell me why Doug Davis is called Sharpie?

 

(Sorry for the newbie-ish question)

[JoeH33]

Davis for another inning?

 

Bottom of the order coming up and Davis has been pitching well and has had plenty of rest. So I'm not too suprised.

[batboy37]

Was Jenks' HR a cheapie, or a no-doubter like that shot he hit in ATL on Sunday?

 

It was a typical Jenks' HR. No-doubter.

[Frisbee Slider]

Coming into today...

 

Carlos Lee has struck out 52 times in 341 ABS (15.2%)

- Struck out 4 times in FLA

- Has not struck out 3 times (coming into today)

[MadisonBrewerBlue]

you make the call...keep davis in ?

[stkmtimo]

Davis looked very good today despite a small bout of understandable first 2 innings wildness.

[dixieflatline]

Just because he got through these innings doesn't change my opinion. He was at 110 pitches and everyone in the pen was rested. Why do we have 12 men in the pen if we aren't going to use them? A double switch with Wes in at 3rd would have made a lot of sense to me.

[clancyphile]

Jenks with a couple great catches.

 

Gold Glove! Gold Glove! Gold Glove!

I believe the "Sharpie" nickname comes from Doug's facial hair...last year especially. His mustache looked Captain Morgan-esque (almost like it was drawn on w/a sharpie.

 

Correct me if I'm wrong.

It looked like he used a Sharpie to paint on his gotee in his official picture.

[bigjase]

Tell me Trent isn't up there to bunt.

 

edit: Nice bunt, but I still would have left Davis in if he was just going to bunt.

[Bruce Ciskie]

Here comes a bunt (attempt).

 

Ugh.

[RoseBowlMtg]

Alright Brady now there's a hit with risp!

 

Come on Rickie!

[bigjase]

Alright guys, 1st and 3rd. Come on Rickie!

[Loopee]

Wish we had double switched Durrington for Miller, let Moeller drop that bunt.

 

Durro could have scored from 2nd. Miller makes Sheets look fast.

[JoeH33]

Alright two more chances with RISP

 

EDIT: Ok Rickie just get it in the OF!

[Bruce Ciskie]

Could a real baserunner have scored on Clark's hit?

 

(Yes, I'm asking now. Sorry. I couldn't type fast enough to get a "PINCH RUN FOR MILLER NOW!!" post done before Clark got a hit. Oh, well. The PR would have been thrown out anyway.)

[DuluthBrew]

Get the damn ball in the air

[Loopee]

Contact Rickie. Contact!!

[bigjase]

Throw a pitch!!!

[endaround]

There's some contact...

[stkmtimo]

NOT what we needed to happen.

[AJAY]

Ugh. He swung at ball four too.
