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

[stkmtimo]

This is amazing and unexpected. Gary Bennett and homer in the same sentence? I can't believe it!

 

Tim

[Vgmastr]

Pods has three hits in three innings, what is going on?

[DHonks]

Hall is the only Brewer yet to reach base...Clark needs a hit, but has walked

[ja002h]

Billy k's of course.

[DHonks]

I was just talking about how that's the pitch to throw to Hall (among others). Missed it by a foot

[ja002h]

I still don't know how to process 9 runs in 3 innings.

 

edit: and if O and Jenks bat without scoring another, I'll cry.

[DHonks]

And just to note, Bennett now with a higher batting average than Moeller, and I think his obp is also higher. Kind of scary

[ja002h]

IBB to Jenks. Make em pay Keith!

[ja002h]

Ergh. Gint K.

[Monty]

Bennett's OPS is over .600. Dreams do come true.

[ja002h]

Obie's approaching 80 pitches thru 4. Will he make it to the 6th?

[DHonks]

good thing Liriano and Wise are capable of throwing a few innings each

[DHonks]

too bad for Obermueller, possibly could have avoided one or two of the runs so far with some better defense

[ja002h]

In other happy news, Sox win, Yanks lose, now lead by just 2.5.

AND, apparently Kevin Brown has to go looking for injuries now. He punched a wall and broke his non-throwing hand. Moron.

[reddbucks]

Now only David has to reach base after Billy got a hit. C'mon Dave everybody else has.

 

edit: My bad. I am watching gamecast and I thought Dave was put into RF, but Brady Clark is batting again.http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/mad.gif I am now going to punch the wall with my non-typing hand.

[Duff Man21]

Everytime Mike Adams or Vizcaino come in to pitch lately, they make the case for the Brewers to re-sign Kolb.

 

Yes, these are garbage innings, but Adams has been getting hit too damn hard lately to even consider him to be the closer next year.

[endaround]

Before we start another myth, Obemueller was as sucky last year as he was this year. He is not a major league pitcher.

[wiscrules99]

Are there no options in the minors? (there are) Does Obermueller get a another chance after doing, at best, passable, but getting a fluke win by getting the run support of a month of Sheets. How many chances does Obermueller get, I couldn't believe it when I saw he was starting today, and though it was cool they won, it wasn't exactly because of him. I did see Pedro for the first time and he looked pretty good. Only wish there were more of the kids playing, I'm pretty sure Krynzel has had enough transition time Ned...

[clancyphile]

endaround

 

I'm hoping for a 2005 rotation of: Sheets, Davis, Capuano, Hendrickson, and de la Rosa.

[tlpc4]

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

 

I didn't watch the game tonight to see how Helms played defensively...but I think Helms is hitting better than Branyan right now. He had almost a .780ops in Aug and is off to a good start in Sept.

 

I like having Branyans power, but if the trends continue...Helms will start seeing more time.

[wiscrules99]

Well Branyan had a 970 OPS in August and is still better defensively. I hope Helms plays well enough to be attractive to a team that they could trade him to, but I would still much rather start Branyan next year. Or sign someone better than both.

[BrewCrewForever]

Great game fro the Crew. Nice to see Helms finally hit another HR. I still think Branyan is out guy at 3rd base though. And man what a night for Scotty Po, I said awhile back in a post I would not give up on Po and over the last few weeks he has really stepped up, I hope he keeps it going and has a 2003 type year in 2005. Two in a row GO BREWERS!!!!!!!

[Al the Thinking Man]

I'm watching the game on tape right now.

 

Yes, I am a nerd.

[DHonks]

Two in a row

 

and with Hendrickson and De La Rosa going against the Reds, I'm optimistic that we can push that to 4 in a row (and then only 15 below .500). It's a start!

[Al the Thinking Man]

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

 

Right now, Barry Bonds is sitting at home, and his 5 year-old is striking him out with his 20 mph fastball, and he doesn't know why.
