7/18/2004 Brewers (Capuano) vs. Cubs (Wood)

[RoseBowlMtg]

Good question endaround. Was it a lapse of judgment by Yost or does he have that much more confidence with Moeller behind the plate?

[endaround]

Peferct place for Kieschnick with either Erickson following or Helms if well enough for an AB.

[ja002h]

Needed that K. Way to come back Mike.

[RoseBowlMtg]

That's two Mike! Great confidence builder for Adams with one more out!

[ja002h]

Nice work by Mike "I'm better than Bennett" Adams.

[PeaveyFury]

Whew.

[burniebrewer]

Nice job Mike!!

[RoseBowlMtg]

Yes this game is a huge confidence builder so far for Ginter, Pods, Hall, Jenkins and now Adams.

 

Chip Carey mentioned that 44% of the Cubs runs come on HR's. I wonder how small that number is for the Crew?

[endaround]

Mike Adams again shows why he is the second best reliever for Milwaukee.

[RoseBowlMtg]

Alright Danny you have a good d behind you!

[ja002h]

It's Danny time. GET R DONE!

[ja002h]

VICTORY!!!! Split the series, gotta LOVE it!!

 

Danny Kolb is a maCHINE.

[RoseBowlMtg]

Alright way to beat the Cubs with Wood on the mound. Huge momentum swing game imo. Let's go get Cincy!

Insert your favorite "split" image here.

 

Good work today.

[MUCrisco]

Nice job Crew. Fun chatting w/ all of you. This is the first time I've followed the game while on this site. I hope the rumors are correct, and Wes Matthews commits to Marquette to make this an incredible day!

[H0FFY]

How about Ned making a bit of a statement and tell Jenks he can have a day or two off. Mind you, the defense tonight, that was cool. But at some stage it will be good to realise he does not own a house plot in left field... a place to go to no matter how he does.

[nikip43]

well it's not as cool as a sweep...but a split will work at Wrigley

 

that play by Jenkins was really cool...he just aired the thing back to first

 

way to rally around late in the game to put some runs on the board and Mike Adams really pitched himself out of a possible jam

 

fun win

[endaround]

Clark OPS 748

 

Jenkins OPS 738

[Shampoo4U]

Another hit for Clark today-- How many did Grieve slash?

Funny how 4 runs feels like an offensive EXPLOSIONhttp://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

 

I'll take a split at Wrigley.

[Shampoo4U]

In turning STATS to favor who you prefer-- Who has the HOT bat now?

Would you rather have Grieve 0 for his last 11, 3 for his last 20 and 5 for his last 30?

Or Clark with 6 for his last 9, 8 for his last 17 and 10 for his last 25?

 

You can throw all the great stats out there all you want but what have you done for me lately? And since July 2nd, your man Grieve just has not done it.

 

And just for your record with OPS numbers-- Grieve achieved most of his OPS in May with a .975, since May June was .675 and July is .695-- whereas Clark stunk in May with .490 and has come on in June with an .811 in June and a .944 in July.

So it plays into the playing of the hotter bat at the time. Over the last 2 months the winner would be Clark.

[endaround]

So Grieve is clearly in line for a hot spell where Clark is in line for a rapid decline. Clearly Grieve should play.

Great analysis Shampoo. I might add that since May, Grieve has a measly 3 extra base hits (no home runs) in 101 plate appearences. This from a corner outfielder with a bad glove.
