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

[JoeH33]

Lets go Lyle, another double would hit the spot right now!

[Loopee]

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

[JoeH33]

Davis is a horrible hitter

 

He's batting .143 with 3 RBI, and if I'm not mistaken he had a multi-hit game a week or two ago (against the Pirates I think).

So I wouldnt call him horrible

[greeg35]

not horrible for a pitcher, but horrible compared to pinch hitting alternatives.

[BigGunToddDunn]

I would've kept him in like Ned. He has deceivingly pitched a good game and could go another one like you said.

 

On a related note, any know about Washington's bullpen? Do they deal?

[RyDogg66]

Breaking News!

 

Brewers 0-6 w/ RISP!!

[madtownbrew]

Hey, another clutch AB from one of our middle of the order guys! Way to go OOOOOOOO!

[AJAY]

Another wasted chance. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/sick.gif

[JoeH33]

Lyle K's with RISP. So what are we at now, like 0-7,0-8?

[Loopee]

He's batting .143 with 3 RBI, and if I'm not mistaken he had a multi-hit game a week or two ago (against the Pirates I think).

So I wouldnt call him horrible

 

Last year he was 1 for 64 with one walk all season long.

 

That's a .047 OPS folks.

 

Fortunately he's a pretty good pitcher, and I would have left him in there too.

[Bruce Ciskie]

This is ridic...

 

Oh, screw it. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/mad.gif

Carrasco, Ayala, and Cordero are all excellent.

 

Their supporting cast isn't all that great.

[BigGunToddDunn]

If he pitches a scoreless inning, I say it's worth the out.

[dixieflatline]

Davis's career line is .069/.076/.085(ave/obp/slg) and last year he was .016/.031/.016. He is horrible even for a pitcher. On the bright side Rickie Weeks is the man. As good as he is now he is going to be that much better in the next couple of years.

[7rebmun]

If Davis pitches two scoreless innings and we take the lead I say its worth it. Otherwise I'd have liked to see us do something with out out. Maybe Ned just figured whoever he was going to bring off the bench would just K anyways, so wait until they get to the pen. I can live with that rationale.

[clancyphile]

He worked the count... and when it gets to a ten-pitch Ab, it's a matter of who is luckier, the hitter or the pitcher. In that one, Patterson just got lucky.

[BigGunToddDunn]

Lee, Jenks, Branyan, Hall - one of these guys should be able to hit one out this inning.

[Ennder]

Going into today the brewers were 9th in the NL in OPS with RISP with a .766, tied for 15th with a .244 BA and 2nd in K's with 1 K every 5.3 PA . Going into today the brewers were 9th in OPS with a .747 and 15th with a .255 BA and 2nd in K's with 1 K every 5.2 PA total.

 

This team is not anti-clutch at all, its just not a very good hitting team. They hit almost exactly the same with RISP as without and K almost exactly the same.

[bsglorydays]

Get it going, El Caballo.

[rluzinski]

1 automatic out isn't equal to an inning pitched, especially when your entire bullpen hasn't pitched in 3 days. Also, you COULD use an EXTREMELY small sample size to say Davis is an OK hitting pitcher, but he ain't.

[Loopee]

On a positive note, Patterson just went over 100 pitches. Hopefully we'll get to see Sunny Kim, Eischen, or dare we hope....Mike Stanton.

[RyDogg66]

and the Nationals appear to be on their way to winning another one-run game.

[bsglorydays]

I don't remember Carlos having a 3 K game this year.... anybody know if he's had one?

[ThePurpleStorm]

There's our boy! Way to go Jenks!

[Frisbee Slider]

Goooooooooooooone for Jenkins!!
