06/06/2004 - Brewers (Davis) at Padres (Eaton)

[endaround]

See, that is how you homer to center.

[950opsLHcatcher]

How the heck do you hit a homer to centerfield at Petco?

 

Like that.

 

I have to leave for work in a few minutes, and I'll be completely shocked if the Brewers win this one. Not enough offense right now to come back.

[PeaveyFury]

Argh.

 

Not much more to say...... maybe its time for Ned to start chewing some butts out.

 

Schroeder's right.... time to wake up guys.

[Vgmastr]

After today, the Brewers will be back to .500 going into Anaheim. Say goodbye to .500 until 2005.

[endaround]

Defense not exactly strong this game. Allowing the pitcher to steal?

[AJAY]

A stupid popup falls in and then the pitcher steals second.

 

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO !!!

Nice to see Hall, Liefer, and Overbay coming together... it's good when teammates enjoy each other's company enough to have little get togethers like that. Next time I would prefer that they hold their meetings *not* during the game, but maybe that's asking for too much.

 

Nice to see Adam Eaton with a stolen base, too. Pitchers don't get enough steals, so I'm glad Davis and Moeller are being charitable.

It's funny because the subject line is still "Re: Good Start".

[endaround]

Woohoo! Durrington!

[950opsLHcatcher]

Why are they taking Davis out anyway? He's not pitching that badly, and he's only at 56 pitches. Why burn the bullpen for a few extra innings to get one at-bat of Trent Durrington?

[xisxisxis]

The other funny thing is that I'm considered a pessimist and many so-called optimists are jumping all over the team right now. The teams going through a rough spot now and while I don't anticipate they will lose 2 out of every 3 the remainder of the year, this team doesn't have the talent to play 0.500 over a 162 game schedule. How about we enjoy the fact they are still @ 0.500 instead of being so negative.

[brewmann04]

well it look like we are about to lose our second consevtive series. now we are back to 500 with a 3 game set aganist one of the best hitting teams in the Al.

Can almost see the wheels falling off with this West coast swing

[AJAY]

Third consecutive series.

[JaNelson52]

while I don't anticipate they will lose 2 out of every 3 the remainder of the year

 

Don't throw that out too fast. The Brewers schedule is brutal over the next month or so.

 

Im sorry, but this team has become totally unwatchable, if not pathetic. This is the worst offensive team in the big leagues outside of Montreal.

 

"Slumps" are things that last a couple weeks. This offensive futility has now lasted a calendar month. That isn't a slump - its a trend.

[JaNelson52]

The next six starters the Brewers are scheduled to face:

 

Jarrod Washburn

Kelvim Escobar

John Lackey

Roy Oswalt

Brandon Duckworth

Roger Clemens

 

Can anybody say "1-5"?

[AJAY]

Oh great, Liefer swings at the first ball again.

[brewmann04]

I was wondering if we see more than 3 runs again

this team is lack of hitting is unreal and if they can"t get the great pitching man will the crew be in trouble

[endaround]

Why was Moeller allowed to hit? Grieve and Spivey were both avaiable and both are unlikely to make it into the game otehrwise.

[PeaveyFury]

Why was Moeller allowed to hit?

 

Can either Spivey or Grieve catch? Gary Bennett is hurt.

[danzig6767]

Another game nearly devoid of extra base hits,just the homer by Ginter.It seems for like a month our offense is nothing but singles and walks,hard to score runs that way.

[RobertR]

It probably won't make a difference, but I'm sick of seeing Trent F. Durrington as the first bat off the bench in a game that's theoretically still in reach. That pretty much means that at the end of the game a better bat (aren't they all?) won't have gotten a chance to hit.

 

Robert

[hawing]

Maybe Nedley knew the 3 run jack was going to happen.

 

Salvaging this would take more battling than even this group probably has.

[batman]

Nice to see Phil Nevin enjoyed the home run he hit... I didn't.

 

And I agree, Robert, about Mr. Durrington. Even Brady Clark is a superior option, IMO, and that's saying something. But when Junior Spivey and Ben Grieve are both available, they need to be numbers 1a and 1b off the bench (and/or Kieschnick depending on the situation, like today).

 

Nedley is always concerned with "saving" his players for later, but later never comes. I hope he starts learning that pretty quick, 'cause he's struggled with it the entirety of his short managerial career.

 

Kieschnick needs to go home and be with his wife. I'm sure this isn't an easy day for him, and I wouldn't fault him if his concentration just isn't where it normally is. With so many relief pitchers and an off-day tomorrow, I wish they could have avoided using the father-to-be.

[AJAY]

You hate to get killed just before an off-day. It's been ugly.

[xisxisxis]

Jeff Liefer = Statue? Does he know what a MLB strike zone looks like? It's not like those were tricky locations, MLB gameday showed all 4 pitches pretty much on top of each other.
