9/3/04 Game thread? Brewers? Reds? Anyone?

[DuWayne Steurer]

We're up 3-0 in the first inning. Does anyone even care?

 

Or is everyone tuned into a meaningless Packers pre-season game in which they're getting mercilessly b**ch-slapped by the Titans?

[Vgmastr]

Do my eyes decieve me? Did Wes Helms just hit a HR? Are the Brewers really up 5-0?

[KyBrewer]

With his 3rd, I repeat 3rd HR of the year!!!!

 

Here's to 4 before the end of the season!!!!

[jvrocksaz]

I am speechless... Wes goes DEEP...

5-0 Brew Crew

[DHonks]

wait, is it possible to reach .500 still? I mean, first Helms homers, next comes Obermueller regaining his 2003 form, then the Brewers at .500 again, and finally the Vikings win the Super Bowl

[RoseBowlMtg]

HELMS is more productive than Favre as of right now!

[stkmtimo]

Now Helms will start every single game for the rest of the year!

Wow, Bill Hall having some problems?

[KyBrewer]

The Reds announcers just said that when the Brewers are 9 games over .500 when they do not make an error.

 

Errors suck.

[DHonks]

that right there is why Hall shouldn't play everyday. Still, who knows...next year he might draw a few more walks and cut down the errors enough to be a good starter. I still think his best position is 3rd base as he doesn't have a chance to think, just react.

[DHonks]

Pods sure looking good over the last 2 weeks, and that includes a couple of times he's been robbed on well hit balls

[gregmag]

Why the hell is Obermuller still starting games? Don't they have somebody else? Wise? Anyone?

7 runs in 2 innings??? What in the WORLD is going ON????

 

the Van Popster's in, still 1+3 with 1 out..

[Vgmastr]

7 runs yesterday? 7 runs in 1.1 innings tonight? Where the heck has this offense been all year? So nice of Jenks and Pods to finally start hitting in September.

[DHonks]

Okay, if you were to go back, I'm pretty sure you'd find that Obermueller has done fine in games until he's been pushed that one extra inning. But I have no problem starting him. He was great last year, and has had several very good starts this year. His sinker and slider are solid. Plus, we're out of the race. Why not start him and let him audition for a spot next year. He could possibly be a good guy for the Burba-role of long-reliever/short-reliever/mopup guy.

 

After pitching in Spring Training, I'd send him over to minor league camp to play a position, like RF or DH or 2b, just to get him some at bats. I remain convinced that we're better off with a 13-man pitching staff, and if we had two or three (Cappy?) pitchers capable of pinch hitting effectively, we could still keep position players on the bench in case of emergencies.

[ja002h]

As long as he's not taking starts away from Hendrickson, I guess I don't care at this point.

[ja002h]

Make that EIGHT runs.http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/nerd.gif

[stkmtimo]

I can't believe we're scoring runs as of late. Terrible pitchers like Wes get all of the run support.

 

Tim

[ja002h]

So apparently we just don't like the months of July + august..

[DHonks]

That could be a turning point for Obermueller. man on, none out, Casey and Dunn coming up, and he gets out of it. I'm keeping my fingers crossed Wes

[ja002h]

Gary Bennett?? Homer??? Is there a full moon tonight? This is MADness!!!

[Vgmastr]

Good God, Helms AND Bennett HR in the same game? Is this some sort of alternate universe we're living in?

[ja002h]

... and Wes keeps on hitting. We should put HIM in right!

[ja002h]

This is just WEIRD.

 

edit: and now a double for Pods. 2+3, no out.

[DHonks]

Wow, Obermueller with a single on a pitch that Bennett, Moeller, Hall, Ginter, and Helms haven't come within a foot of all year long. That outside breaking ball has killed our catchers and infielders, but apparently not Obermueller
