7/28/2004 - Brewers (Capuano) v. Cubs (Wood)


Cappy will go up against Kerry Wood for the second time this season. The Brewers won that outing though they got to the bullpen not Wood. Man would it be nice to rip apart Wood. But I am not sure that will happen.http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/ohwell.gif Here are some game Previews:

I think they're going to get the split and get a little hot, myself, but of course that's my HUGE bias speaking. I really do think they will snap out of their slumber, even for a little while, just to give us some fun again. Man, I hope I'm right!

Here's what I would like to see, if only for tonight:

 

I hope we can put in a third baseman in that line-up too http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif. No, i understand the third base bag is more efficient at stopping the ball than the Caveman

Once again, it's nice to see that our best hitter probably won't get his first at-bat until the second inning.

Check this out... the Cubs' lineup is almost sorted in reverse order by on-base average. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

 

Macias - .299

Grudzielanek - .327

Sosa - .357

Alou - .341

Lee - .373

Ramirez - .364

Barrett - .346

Gonzalez - .234

 

The only way they could do better is if they changed it to this.

 

Gonzalez - .234

Macias - .299

Grudzielanek - .327

Alou - .341

Barrett - .346

Sosa - .357

Ramirez - .364

Lee - .373

 

As much as we complain about Nedley's lineup construction, at least we don't have Dusty's Bizzaro lineup, where high on-base guys get to bat fifth, sixth, and seventh and low on-base guys get to bat first and second.

Ok, why put the the C and P together? Why have Lyle hit 5. I'm OK with Russell, but move him down. Try Grieve in the 2 spot. Craig @ 8. Maybe this?

 

Pods

Grieve

Billy

Lyle

Geoff

Branyan

Moeller

Craig

Cappy.

 

Just a thought, but it's Ned's world and we just live in it.

Okay, the Overbay batting 5th thing is abominable, but the fact that Branyan is starting ahead of Helms for the 2nd day in a row is GREAT news. Because it's not about Branyan being particularly good, it's about Yost finally showing signs of ending his Wes Helms crush. A manager ALWAYS puts his starter back in after one day off to send a message that the starter hasn't lost his job - but here Helms sits. Let's hope he'll give Branyan more looks. As we all agree - it can't get any worse!

Just reading the preview on the Brewers site, and it sunk in that this is the first time all year we've been 3 games under .500. It's been a bad month, but at the same time, it's "nice" to read that at the very end of July instead of May. Not saying I'm happy, but things are getting better.

Maybe next year we'll have an offense.
