07/03/2004: Brewers (Obermueller) at Pirates (Benson)


brettac1

Apparently, after everyone on BF drank themselves to sleep last night following the DH sweep, someone had to start the game thread. Time for the stopper, Wes Obermueller, to go out there and get it done against a guy they have roughed up a few times before, WI native Kris Benson.

 

Benson v. Crew: 3-4, 4.09 ERA, 1.35 WHIP, .261 BAA

Obermueller v. Bucs: 0-0, 8.00 ERA, 2.11 WHIP, .342 BAA

 

GO CREW!

Thanks (again) Bill.

I will preface this by saying that this is an off-the-wall comment, and that I despise Tony LaRussa and his "bigger than the game" attitude. However, why not hit Obermueller in the 8th spot and move Gary "The Glove" to the ninth? I know that this post will result in questions on my sanity, my intelligence, and more, but I seriously think that Henry Blanco would be a better offensive option at C than Bennett.

 

On a happy note, the Yankees lost:

Totally off-topic, but I needed to ask this . . Have the fireworks in downtown Milwaukee been officially rescheduled due to the weather? If anyone hears anything, please post a reply either here or in the "off-topic? forum.

In case anyone missed it, Junior Spivey is out with an injured shoulder. No word yet on what exactly is wrong, how severe it is, or how long he'll be out. Sounded like day-to-day, though.

I'm not a big advocate of throwing at people, but I didn't have a problem with working Bay inside enough to hit him. He's hotter than a firecracker and the previous hitter just pulled an outside pitch 425 feet.

 

Pittsburgh was getting waaaay too comfortable at the plate.
