7/9/05 Brewers (Sheets) @ Braves (Davies) 6:05 CST sorry

[JoeHova]

there is NO way JJ would have got to that ball Estrada just hit. Excellent play by Billy.

[lithium75]

that was one of the best curves he has thrown this year.

[lithium75]

Ok. let's get this inning in, so its official, and then let the sky open up. I can't take another night like the last few.

[razzzorsharp]

Brady steal so we can get this going.

[razzzorsharp]

RBI for Lee?

 

C'mon buddy!

It is amazing that so many of our games are so close and we do something stupidly different each night to shoot ourselves in the foot. We are like the Keystone Cops of baseball.

[razzzorsharp]

There it is 4-2.

[ja002h]

Nice job Carlos.

[razzzorsharp]

There have been a little too many throws to first. *cough* stallers *cough*

Hehe, no kidding, I noticed that too. Let's see how many times their batters call time in the bottom of the 5th, now.

 

Edit: Haha.. Atlanta announcers said Sheets wanted to start the inning after only like 4 warmup throws.

[H0FFY]

Geoff is like a secret weapon, but you never know when he will malfunction (or function, I should say).

 

From last night he has completely reverted to the Evil Jenks. For one week anything in the zone was tatooed. Now he can only foul them off. For one week he actually did not swing at ankle and ear balls. Now he has started again that complete misunderstanding of what pitch it is and where it is located.

 

So, as the secret weapon, he should be safely hidden in the lineup's 7 hole. Then when he functions again one day (you can tell in one day when he begins to function), you move him back up to the 5 hole.

 

You have to admit, it would be much better (if you want to win a game) seeing Hall and Branyan bat before Geoff right now.

OFFICIAL

I am getting new, new found respsect for Bobby Cox. He actually manages a game. Davies was not on, so he is removed before too much damage. Ned leaves our guys in until they bleed to death. Here Bobby has done the best for his teams chance to win, and saved the youngster from an embarrassing outing.

 

Learn, Ned, learn. You were out managed all over the field last night and I fear the same will happen again today.

I think that might have had more to do with getting some runs before the game goes official, if the heavens open up like everyone expects. Still a smart move, though.

[razzzorsharp]

Bill Schroeder, "That's what this game is all about. Battle, Battle, Battle."

[H0FFY]

I just noticed Russell is actually batting a respectible .269. So looking at his walks he has a .383 obp and slugging .523.

 

Wow, he is over .900 OPS. Good job Mr Melvin (and Mr Branyan)

 

-edit-

 

and he is only 1 for 16 with 10 k's v lefties, so v righties, he is off the planet

you will probley get riped apart by that post, but I agree also.

Neds still young.......

I'm doing my rain dance. Do you think that a rain dance in Wisconsin will affect the weather in Atlanta? Hey, if a butterfly flaps its wings in central park...maybe I need some butterflies

[temke]

why did i wait until just now to turn the radio on?

[brettac1]

Is there any clue if this game will resume? I'm totally cool with it ending now, but I would at least like to see Russ finish his AB before they call it.http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/happy.gif http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

[Getpaddled]

rain dealy???!!

Exactly, he was just about to jack one.

 

Edit: Well, a walk will do.

[dogs with bees in their mo]

It's not technically a rain delay. They have been trying to put that dirt-dry stuff on the field for about a half an hour. They don't want to bring the tarp out because the Braves lose if it's called.

[Getpaddled]

no wounder my yahoo stat tracker is doing anything for the last 10 min... im GPd

Yeah, we're going to need a tornado to get this one called...actually, a tornado might only cause them to delay it until it passes...or the Braves take the lead
