04/12/05 - Pirates (Redman) @ Brewers (Glover), 6:35 PM CT

Redman is one tough dude. Taking a liner straight off his knee and then getting back up off the ground and pitching the rest of the inning?? Wow.

[BucketheadBrigader]

Hardy will be a stud at short defensively..... he'll be an great player in this league if he can pump up that bat.

[rwa12]

I agree that 113 pitches arewayyyy to many for Glover, but pulling him after 5 gives us another situation like Sunday. I guess I liked Glover's chances about as well as our pen for 4 innings

[dpapo]

This is looking just like last year's team, good pitching, but not much hitting. 0 for 3 with runners in scoring position and about a .200 average with runners in scoring position this year. Hopefully the Brewers will be able to do something in the last few innings.

Bottalico looked awesome there. Good fastball, hard curve, and big slooooow curve. He sure looks like the real deal so far this year.

pretty nice inning for ricky...hope this holds up...

[Loopee]

Straight up Bottalicious.

[rwa12]

do you pull jeff for russ...and the hopes of a tie game off of a rightie?

[DHonks]

0 for 3 with runners in scoring position and about a .200 average with runners in scoring position this year

 

what skews that is the triple by Spivey scored Clark, and then he was knocked in despite retiring Overbay. not getting a hit there scored a run, but doesn't show up in the avg w/RiSP

I was about to post the same thing. Some new players but at times they struggle to get runs in. Redman had throw about 70 pitches before getting hit, I thought we were going to try to work deeper in the count this year?

[BucketheadBrigader]

formula for numerous Brewer swings tonight

 

 

Length of outfield fence - 1 foot = length of Brewer flyouts

I would think he bats for the pitcher, with the chance to be the go ahead run or better

[JohnA17]

That's it, this one just wasn't meant to be for the Brewers. 3 balls fall about 2 feet short of HR and Hardy got robbed by Wilson. dammit

[rwa12]

i agree...thought it might be worth the extra AB in the 9th...why didn't they build the fences 2 feet closer? We'd be up by 5?!?!?

[BucketheadBrigader]

wow... krynzel robbed too... unbelievable

[clancyphile]

Two changes for 2006:

* Move the right field fence in 30 feet.

 

* Put in artificial turf.

 

EDIT: UGH. K

[bucksman4]

Branyan sucks.

[clancyphile]

Hey... they've had what, three homers robbed?

 

Some days will be like this over a 162-game season.

[DHonks]

* Move the right field fence in 30 feet.

 

Clancy, I believe that's illegal. The corners have a minimum distance, unless there are greater engineering reasons at work (like Hou)

[batman]

Tommy Phelps?

 

Mmmm, okay.

 

~Bill

[rwa12]

almost can't fault the hitters...we're trailing because of about 14 combined inches over 3-4 swings

[princeginterhallhelms04]

Tommy Phelps? Please give the kid some rest but i guess i should leave that alone double play ball!

[bucksman4]

P.S. So does Tommy Phelps. Why did he make the team again??

[mikerollins]

WHERE IS JORGE!?!?!??!?!

 

PHELPS AGAIN?!?!?!

 

With Turnbow, Adams, Wise, and De La Rosa all out there?

 

grrrrrrrrrr

 

And I LOVE Yost, but still would prefer the pitchers who have had success out there over Phelps. But the Double play shows he must know what he's doing.

[clancyphile]

DP by Phelps. I can live with that. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif
