Overbay and Clark with two brainless at-bats. The guy can't throw strikes. Overbay chases two pitches and Clark swings on 2-0. Yost better chew those two out. Disgusting display by hitters that obviously should have been patient.

 

Idiotic

Yost blew chunks tonight.

 

Lyle's got to get the job done too -- those first two cuts were at high fast balls.

 

Don't they have Cjacon's rap sheet? Does this team have a take sign?!

 

Expletive!

That sucked. *** is Brady swinging 2-0? http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/mad.gif

 

EDIT: That was too positive. WTMFF just happened there?!? It's hard to get made at Lyle, 'cause he's the freaking man, but that was a *terrible* at-bat. And Brady? Nice job swinging 2-0 against a pitcher that couldn't find the strike zone with freaking Questec.

 

I need therapy after this one. My therapist would tell me:

 

'Tis okay. Big Ben's gonna take care of bidness tomorrow.

 

ARGHHHHH!!!!!

Gotta be about time to post what the Brewers OPS is with runners in scoring position in order to say that Milwaukee is not that bad with RISP, right??

 

Before the 0-10 their BATTING AVERAGE was .231, second to last in the NL. The only team worse was Montreal. OPS isn't the greatest stat when talking about being clutch.

I'm still ticked about playing the infield in early on -- Yost does that constantly!

 

You've got to know what's a Counsell situation and what's a Kieschnick situation.

 

And worst of all, do you think Olson or Haudricourt is going to get a tough question answered tonight -- hell, no.

 

At least we don't have to talk about a freakin' sweep tomorrow. Most upset I've been all year. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/mad.gif

OPS still is the greatest stat. We didn't need a hit. A walk would have been just fine. The average still tells only half the story.

 

Guys. Remember Overbay had a terrible at-bat as well. Not just Clark.

 

Edit: Are multiple Brady Clark threads really needed?

I see so with runners in scoring position, a walk is useless and a single is as good as a HR?

 

Um, OK. I guess you can have you batting average then. I bet you think Bill Schroeder is wise too.

If the Brewers were taking walks or even hitting sac flies with RISP with less than 2 outs I wouldnt be knocking on OPS with RISP. But, they aren't. They are sucking big time with Runners on 3rd and nobody out or one out. Yeah, OPS is a nice stat, but don't you think that it is a alarming that we are hitting below .230 with RISP above only Montreal?? Sometimes I think that OPS blinds a lot of smart people. Just like there is more to a hitter than average and hits, OPS isn't a tell all either.

 

Let's face it, does it really matter if a guy is 2-5 with RISP with two singles or 1-4 with a walk and a triple? No, except the guy who walked didnt get the guy in from third with less than two outs.

Sometimes, when it is late, and you are down by one run, in the ninth, with your two fastest runners on 2nd and 3rd, a single is just as good as a HR. Sometimes.

 

O, so singles are better than HRs. I stand corrected.

 

O wait, you used one example....

With that low BA we are still winning. Yes, mostly due to our pitching but the number of comeback wins is due to our offense coming through in other ways than getting hits. When it comes down to it, our offense comes through (most of the time) when we absolutely need it.

 

Would we like a higher BA with RISP? Of course. But it's not the end all stat.

 

Tonight was bad. Really bad.

That's what happens when your lineup is full of low batting average hitters.Outside of Overbay,the vast majority of the team is hitting .260 or under.
