6/23/05 Cubs (Rusch) @ Brewers (Sheets) 1:05 CST

[MachMeister5]

Our lineup is just pathetic today.... just pathetic.......

 

UGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

We are by far the worst team in the majors with RISP....

 

Bases Loaded no outs, 2nd and 3rd no outs, and bases loaded one out.... are all guaranteed ZERO RUNS for the Brewers....

Helms should have taken one for the team in that at bat to get a run in.

If he had leaned into that pitch, how would he be able to sit down to eat his postgame doughnut?

 

Maybe he should try swinging at 75 mph fastballs right down the middle of the plate when there are already two strikes in the count.

Fantastic play by Bill Hall!

[Worm8181]

great innning for ben, under 10 pitches

[spadepunk13]

The promotion that the Brewers have for July 1st is pretty cool. If I weren't already going to the games on the 2nd and the 3rd, i'd go. You think they're actually going to tally a count and do something about it if the old logo wins?

[MadisonBrewerBlue]

Wow a pitcher who can bunt the ball in play....what a concept

[RyDogg66]

RISP = 0-3 and counting....

[PrimetimeHater]

So...how much longer until Hart takes Magruders spot??

[RyDogg66]

anyone else worried about this line from Sheets today

 

Sheets (L, 3-7) 9IP, 1H, 2R, 2ER, 9K, 2BB, 99 pitches.

 

And this line from Rusch

 

Rusch (W) 6 IP, 8H, 0R, 0ER, 7k, 2BB, 111 Pitches

[ So...how much longer until Hart takes Magruders spot?? ]

 

How long is a flight from Albuquerque to Milwaukee?

[spadepunk13]

Everyone in the lineup today is hitting over .300 for the month of June with the exception of Cirillo (.222) and Magruder (.087) (Weeks gets a mulligan). How are we not scoring more runs?

 

And for all of you who don't like the lineup...Hardy is hitting .188, Jenkins .148 and Overbay .254......nevermind, i just answered my own question.

[Worm8181]

nice shot for cirrilo

 

RyDogg get the RISP counter ready

[Worm8181]

nother wal;k for lee?

[JoeH33]

Lets see if Wes can redeem himself here

[TheBwaz]

Lordy, walked Lee again.

 

Powell has it spot on, with Helms batting 5th why pitch to Lee?

[spadepunk13]

Unless Helms proves he'll swing at a pitch down the middle, there's no reason to pitch to Lee. He's really our only big threat in the lineup.

 

Edit: Sac fly.......i'll take it.

[Worm8181]

OMG A SAC FLY

[JoeH33]

Sac Fly.....better than nothing

[bigjase]

Way to go Wes. At least we'll get one. Rickie, hit your first ML home run!

 

edit: Dang. Almost. At least he got the single.

[brewmann04]

Maybe Yost should walk chi lee when he gets up

[MadisonBrewerBlue]

I'll take that SF for an RBI

[Worm8181]

nice battle for rickie, he crushed that pitch that was just foul.

[40 oz to Freedom]

Nice hit by Rickie. 2nd shot up the middle for this game, but this time it got through. Now, time for another episode of RISP

[deeswan]

Magruder has a .290 OPS in June. Sure, he'll come through.

[brew4you]

Very impressive AB by Weeks
