6/14/05 Brewers (Ohka) @ DRays (Fossum) 6:15 CST

[dogs with bees in their mo]

Why do games in Tampa start 10 minutes later than every other city on eastern time? Is there any reasonable explanation for this?

[AJAY]

I wonder if Brewers fans will yell "Oooooooohhhhhhh" for Ohka?

[scoop53714]

Honestly....

 

this game is only worth watching to see Weeks. Otherwise its worthless.

[AJAY]

So Ned had a closed door meeting before the game huh?

Maybe Yost is a bit upset about plate discipline and is making an early point to a young man stating he doesn't start no matter what.

I would love to believe this is the reason. But after watching Jenkins all season and his lack of plate discipline, I can't believe this is why Prince is sitting. If, as someone posted earlier, Prince was pulled up for facing lefties only, and Prince knew of this, I have no problem with him sitting. But if Yost decided today, based upon last night, to sit Prince I have lost even more faith in the direction the Crew is headed.

Hmmm, the team had a closed-door meeting before the game. My guess is that it went something like: "We've got the fighters, we've got the gamers, we've got the hard workers. We've just gotta keep battling."

Fossum is going to blow this game big time. I just have a feeling the Brewers are going to put up some serious runs tonight.

Hopefully, that feeling is correct.

Yeah, Rickie!! Now no more leaving men on base

[DHarris34Phan]

I love Rickie Weeks.

[DHarris34Phan]

2nd and 3rd nobody out...how do we blow it?

[7rebmun]

If Rickie is going to struggle, he hasn't shown it yet. Kremblas wasn't kidding when he said that if he doesn't hit it at an outfielder that it'll go to the wall everytime.

[brewerjamie15]

Weeks not only with the waggling of his bat reminds me of Gary Sheffield. Weeks hits the ball harder than most players I've seen, ala Sheffield. I think that this kid has a pretty good offensive future.

[BucEbadger1979]

anyone notice that rickie uses the thick handled bat over the thin ones that Jenkins likes to use?

[dogs with bees in their mo]

Nice play Crawford!

[Ando Calrissian]

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! holy cow, a freakin' hit with RISP! i can't believe it!

[DHarris34Phan]

Rickie Weeks > Geoff Jenkins

I was noticing the thick handle. That's what I prefer as well, I just can't use it quite like "The Rick".

[batboy37]

Lyle is back!! http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/happy.gif

[7rebmun]

Can I call Rickie "The Rick"? I think I love that.

[DHarris34Phan]

Do all MLB teams run the bases that poorly?

[bsglorydays]

Maybe Yost is a bit upset about plate discipline and is making an early point to a young man stating he doesn't start no matter what.

 

Prince is not playing simply because Wes must be in the lineup vs lefties. I won't be surprised to see Fielder later though.

 

Wow. I can't believe Lyle could not get to 3rd on his "double".

[dogs with bees in their mo]

Bluuughh. At least we have almost met our daily quota for outs on the bases.

[40 oz to Freedom]

Who was it that got into a run down at third earlier this season?

[Ando Calrissian]

geez these baserunning errors get frustrating. is it mandatory that we have at least one each game?

[RoseBowlMtg]

Move on contact play it looked like since he "moved" on contact. No hesitation so maybe it was a call and not a base running error.
