I have to say, given the players available, I completely agree with every aspect of this lineup (although batman will obviously prefer Gint instead of Hallhttp://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif That's a tossup I guess).

I think ben is just nerves because look at his numbers...

 

His ERA is up to 9.47. By now, his nerves are getting on mine.

 

The "Steve Woodard" comparison is looking more and more appropriate, IMO. He can be effective when he has good control of his pitches....but when he doesn't, he gets hammered.

Chad Moeller is making a *huge* difference tonight. I know many of us had noted in the past that we felt perhaps Gary Bennett wasn't calling a good game for Lil' Ben, and I think we were right. He still got hit tonight, and I'm sure he'll get hit in the future, but the way he is pitching this time is night and day from his previous outings. Lots of good changeups, lots more curveballs, and the fastball used more as a setup pitch than an out pitch.

 

Solid.

 

Nice of Mr. Fogg to throw at Hendrickson. Dork.

Ward was hit by a Hendrickson pitch in the AB after he homered. Ben had also hit Jason Bay in the first inning.

That’s the only thing Chicago’s good for: to tell people where Wisconsin is.
