Ben seems to be having a little location trouble... but the Cards ain't hitting a thing.

nice play by Ben... almost broke a sweat there for a second... dont scare me like that

[batman]

I attribute all of Geoff Jenkins' struggles to the lame, Jeff Bennett-esque mustache-less goatee that he's currently sporting.

 

Yuck.

 

Nice hit, though.

Apparently Bill Schroeder didn't get the Branyan memo, as he just attributed the Muscle's absence to him being "a guy that's struggling at the plate."

 

Shut up, please, Bill.

Something's brewing now... 2 on no outs.

[DHonks]

Schroeder with a good point there that Jenkins just made a big baserunning mistake

[1992casey]

JJ Hardy has swung and missed twice all season.

[ja002h]

as he just attributed the Muscle's absence to him being "a guy that's struggling at the plate."

 

What a moron. Did he even watch the PIT series?

[Bruce Ciskie]

Is it wrong to root for a strikeout as the best-case scenario? http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/eek.gif

 

EDIT: I didn't know how many outs there were. Cripes, that doesn't happen to me often. I should read the Gametracker more carefully. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/embarassed.gif

Ahh I remember that feeling last year watching Bennett GIDP every game last spring...

[H0FFY]

I am so interested in your guys observations on Hardy. If his batting eye is really so good it may translate into a superb number 2 batter. I remember reading an article that interviewed JJ (here?) where he projected himself as a number 2 batter.

 

Good luck on that JJ. I think next year that spot may be open.

[endaround]

Ahh the scrappiness of David Eckstein running into easy outs...

[BucketheadBrigader]

NICE THROW!! GUNNED DOWN!

[Bruce Ciskie]

Nice play by Jenks or a stupid play by Eckstein?

[DHarris34Phan]

***...how many times this year have we forfeited baserunners?!?

[DHonks]

simple rule of thumb, never run on Matheny, Blanco, the 3 Molina's, or Pudge. Run all you want when Maddux or Piazza is in the game

[Oldcity]

Brady Clark needs to get it through his head that he is not Scott Podsednik.

[BucketheadBrigader]

why do we keep wasting baserunners? Someone has to learn that brady isnt scotty po.

[endaround]

Bad play by Eckstein--it wasn't close. Jenkins did hias job, but Eckstein should have held.

 

Of course Yost didn't learn anything from it and runs Clark into an out...

[ja002h]

Have we determined that we SUCK at stealing and/or hit+runs ??? Good gravy.

[letsgored]

This "aggressive" baseball is giving Brewer fans fits. Brady Clark is not a base stealer Nedley!

[Bruce Ciskie]

Molina is hitting .050. I'm guessing he's not in the lineup for his bat.

 

What am I saying? I don't know. I just thought that was interesting. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/happy.gif

[endaround]

You know telling everyone every day you're going to be aggressive means that its really difficult to surprise people when you run on them.

[ja002h]

no end, it's reverse psychology. See they think that we're bluffing, so when we DO run, they're still surprised!

[DHonks]

Bad play by Eckstein--it wasn't close. Jenkins did hias job, but Eckstein should have held.

 

And I say good play by Eckstein. He wants to be on second with two outs, so a single can score him. Had Jenks not been hustling and not made a perfect throw, Eckstein is in there. Always make the defense make the perfect play
