3/29/05 - Cubs (Mitre) at Brewers (de la Rosa), 2 PM CT

[SoCalBrewfan]

I'd love to see a Sheets/Davis/Capuano/Hendrickson/JDLR rotation by the end of the year.

 

That's entirely possible and would be consistent with the team limping to 70 wins.

 

Is that as opposed to the 72-win Sheets / Davis / Santos / Capuano / Glover juggernaut?

[nsimps]

Why are you guys so pessimistic? The Brewers are going 162-0 this year with a starting rotation of Sheets/Davis/Capuano/Obermueller/Glover/Hendrickson/De La Rosa/Spahn/Capuano.

 

I know 9 man rotations are unlikely, but Hope Springs Attorney.

[bullox]

Pessimistic? Let's put things into perspective...both the 70 and 72 win projections are more than they've had in the last 4 years. It would actually be an improvement.

Good to see Melvin has found voodoo. If we can bring back spahn, why not fix 3rd base with Matthews?

I was thinking more along the lines of "trade showcase", although I don't want to see DLR given up on this quickly. I know Ned doesn't like to put lefties next to each other in the rotation, so could we possibly see a rotation of:

 

1. Davis

2. Sheets

3. Capuano

4. Glover

5. de la Rosa

 

Davis is #1 in name only...everyone knows Sheets is the ace. This rotation would theoretically work, except DLR and Davis pitching back-to-back occasionally.

Frankly, after April, with possible rain outs, off days, etc, the rotation never ends up being in the exact order it was written down in early April.

 

Pitching lefties back to back doenst really matter IMO, if they can get the job done, thats all that should matter, but like you said, this is Ned Yost were talking about here, common sense isnt his fortay.

[SeriesFinale]

Man, I really liked Krynzel's confidence and pride in being a Brewer in that interview

[homer]

Can you give a recap of the DK interview? I logged in a little late.

[bigjase]

Is anybody able to do a running box score? I would really appricate the updates at work. Thanks to anyone that can.

[SeriesFinale]

Krynzel basically was asked where he thinks he should start the season and he answered that he believes wherever he's at they're gonna win and that he's committed to being a part of that. Kinda cocky, like they said, but good to hear.

[areacodes]

So, does anyone have a quote from Nedly saying he doesn't like lefties pitching back to back or is this just assumed?

[SeriesFinale]

Oh by the way, I can't do a box score since I'm generally half-listening here at work and sometimes have to split but I can give scoring and periodic updates...Cubs didn't score in the first half inning although they got two hits off DLR...Hairston got picked off though.

[SeriesFinale]

Overbay scores on a Caballo double

[nsimps]

Overbay with another hit, 22 for the spring. Scores on a double by Lee (20 RBIs). 1-0 Brewers.

Bottom 6

 

Sorry guys, I can't do it anymore, I need to get some work done.

[crichar3]

Another error? I know it is spring, but we're on the cusp of the sesaon. They need to tighten that up, particularly starters like Overbay.

[SeriesFinale]

Yeah, I'm thinking this would be a good time for Nedley to run some freaking defensive drills.

Corporal punishment works wonders, too.

 

Electric shock therapy might just be in order herehttp://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/happy.gif

[SeriesFinale]

Ugh...4-1...Maryvale sounds like "HoHoKam Park II" or whatever with all the Cubs fans there going nuts

[nsimps]

5 runs in the second for the Cubs, Phelps replace De La Not So Good Today.

[clancyphile]

If Overbay had made the play, this big inning wouldn't have happened. Of course, a lot will get hung on Jorge de la Rosa.

[tnweill]

Jorge getting rocked, 5-1 Scrubs at what sounds like "Wrigley South". Tommie Phelps is coming in now.

[deeswan]

Man, I really hope this wasn't a trade showcase for De La Rosa. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

 

He's a frustrating guy. When he's on, he's been virtually unhittable this spring. When he doesn't have his command he gets shelled. If this guy can ever harness his control he will be pretty darn good.

[clancyphile]

Lyle Overbay's two-base error to start things off didn't help. He makes the play, then it's a whole different half-inning. Then there's that bang-bang play at first, which might not have been a hit (did Hairston make it before the tag or did the umps help the Scrubs again?).
