09/14/2004 - Brewers (Davis) vs. Giants (Reuter & Bonds)

[stkmtimo]

Let's hope Doug gets some more runs...too bad he let up 2.

 

Tim

[AJAY]

Maybe walking Bonds wasn't such a good idea. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

Matt Stairs?

[JoeHova]

Just curious if anybody knows why Davis has the initials M.S. on the side of his cap?

 

 

 

I've been wondering that as well.

[950opsLHcatcher]

Would Yost rather have Helms or Bonds?

 

Wes has now hit the ball in play as many times as Bonds. Go Wes!

[DHonks]

When did Barry hit it hard?

[950opsLHcatcher]

When did Barry hit it hard?

 

Exactly... Wes is clearly the better player, and this game will prove it.

[AJAY]

Correct decision to walk Bonds there. Even the Giants announcers are respecting the fact that Yost is putting his best pitchers out there to protect the integrity of the playoff race. They also agree with the walk of Bonds.

[7rebmun]

Seriously, let me go on record by saying, screw all this walking of Bonds in the 5th inning. You'd think there were nothing but High-A ball hitters behind him in the lineup.

That's true, Grissom's gotta be AA.

[DHonks]

wow, best throw from Bonds that I've seen in years. Great throw

[AJAY]

What a momentum changer. That throw really changes the whole inning.

[endaround]

The Brewers have better hitters than the Giants at the following positions:

 

1B

 

That is all.,

[950opsLHcatcher]

Magruder over Branyan? Wha?

[AJAY]

I think you save Branyan for when you need a bomb. Right now you just need a single. Magruder can switch hit too if they change the pitcher.

[950opsLHcatcher]

We needed a bomb there. It's not like we're going to have anyone on base for the rest of the game.

[DHonks]

damn, nice try there by Pods. He just killed that. some games I've been to at Miller Park I've seen balls hit like that go out, and some days they just fall in for outs

[DHonks]

get ready for 700...Vizcy is in

[DHonks]

two games in a row that I've seen that happen to Barry. On Sunday he was thrown out from the same spot.

[950opsLHcatcher]

If Viz can get Bonds to hit the ball on the ground, shouldn't he be able to get everyone else to do the same?

[DHonks]

he also threw 95 with a hard slider for the first time in a while

[AJAY]

Did they announce the attendance?

[DHonks]

come on Brady, need you on base

[DHonks]

darn it. That's another one of those for Branyan where I'm not sure how he missed the ball. Lots of his K's seem to be of that variety. I swear it went through the bat

[950opsLHcatcher]

This is dissapointing because we're not going to score.

 

Edit: Nevermind, Mark Johnson is pinch-hitting with the game on the line. We're shoe-ins.
