08/07/2004: Brewers (Obermueller) at Marlins (Valdez)

 

Not exactly Johan Santana vs. Tim Hudson, eh?

 

Lineups to come.

 

First pitch shortly after 5PM central time.

 

Go team.

Ok, this definitely qualifies for "weirdest lineup of 2004".

 MILWAUKEE FLORIDA AVG HR RBI AVG HR RBI Craig Counsell SS .265 2 19 Juan Pierre CF .313 2 31 Trent Durrington 3B .211 2 2 Luis Castillo 2B .298 2 36 Geoff Jenkins LF .251 17 61 Damion Easley 3B .239 5 21 Ben Grieve RF .267 7 27 Miguel Cabrera LF .317 23 77 Lyle Overbay 1B .324 11 69 Jeff Conine 1B .272 8 49 Bill Hall 2B .263 7 38 Juan Encarnacion RF .233 13 44 Brady Clark CF .271 5 26 Alex Gonzalez SS .233 16 58 Gary Bennett C .190 1 13 Mike Redmond C .245 2 24 Wes Obermueller RHP .381 0 4 Ismael Valdez RHP .171 0 5 (3-5, 6.69) (9-6, 5.53) 

I thought Brady Clark was the perfect #2 hitter. Why is he batting seventh?

Um................What is going on? I applaud trying some different ideas when things are going poorly. This is certainly a different one. Rock on, Ned.

[Fike85]

1)Counsell

2)Clark

3)Overbay

4)Jenkins

5)Greive

6)Hall

7)Obermueller

http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/glasses.gif Durrington

9)Bennett

 

I hope that Obermueller gets converted to an OF or 3B. He has the potential to be another toolshed.

 

Anyway, I look forward to the 'Duel of the Century'

[pitchleague]

Is this the start of an "extended rest" aka benching of Podsednik?

 

I doubt it but it's nice to see him grab some pine. Maybe it'll help get his head on straight.

[950opsLHcatcher]

Yah, Obie really benefitted from that time in AAA.

 

4-0 Marlins after one inning. Hurrah.

[batman]

That inning lacked coolness.

4-0 already with a Grand Slam by Florida-- that shake up has really helped. Get used to the pounding. This is what happens when you have boys against men. And for people wating for prospects to be the save all-is going to be more of the same. This organization just doesn't have the horses to compete on the major league level-- don't be fooled with all the prospect talk.

[Shampoo4U]

Maybe Bill Schroeder should just be the manager since he knows everything.

[danzig6767]

What exactly has Wes ever done to deserve so many chances to stink up the joint?Does his ERA have to pass 7 before they realize he blows?

[950opsLHcatcher]

Anyone want to place odds on Obie being DFA'd after the game?

[Shampoo4U]

Jack really looks nervous with basesloaded and 1 out. Chew on more sunflower seeds-- the big boys are coming up to bat.

[Shampoo4U]

I think the Brewers should have cheerleaders like the Marlins. That would pump up the crowd---- and players.

[950opsLHcatcher]

Base loaded, one out, and no runs to speak of. Weird.

[Shampoo4U]

Yep-- Jack looked "really" nervous in the dugout--- Shut up Bill and Daron. These guys are just idiots. He knew the Brewers had no hope with the 8 and 9 up. The Brewers can't get a big hit.

[H0FFY]

Shampoo... "And for people wating for prospects to be the save all-is going to be more of the same. This organization just doesn't have the horses to compete on the major league level-- don't be fooled with all the prospect talk."

 

What I dont understand is that the correct move financially, futurewise, TODAYwise, is to start bringing up the prospects. Hart and Krynzel and Hendrickson should be up tomorrow.

 

Why does management bring up Obey, Durrington, Magruder, Leifer... It seems they want to bring up any old guy with no future with no stats OVER young guys with a future and good stats.

 

Someone explain to me how OLD, no future, no stats is a preferrable to YOUNG, future and good stats.

[tyguy20204]

This is ridiculous.

[ja002h]

Wow. Bases loaded again. No outs. I'd say DFA after game odds just went WAY up. This is ludicrous.

[ja002h]

Good think Ben's down at Indy getting regular work.

[Shampoo4U]

Now lets see how many this time for Florida. I bet it is not zero like the Brewers.

[ja002h]

Oh, you thought WRONG, Shampoo. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

Miracle.

[Shampoo4U]

Amazing-- I was wrong-- I was wrong.

[Shampoo4U]

I wonder if Ned is kicking himself again for starting the wrong hurler.

[rluzinski]

Wow, we've got one guy batting .188 and one guy batting .195. Brilliant Yost!

 

This is right back to 2002. Turn the game on in teh middle of the 2nd to see 4-0 or 5-0.

[Vgmastr]

Wise = #5 starter

 

What a job by him tonight.
