A DP doesn't help much... http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/mad.gif

 

EDIT:

 

A K looking even less... two walks to start, and no runs to show for it.

 

*sigh*

 

1-2-3, Ben. A quick inning, let Scotty take it deep again, and it's a whole new game.

Ben's now our 3rd best hitting pitcher behind DH/pitchers Obermueller and Kieschnick. He looks like he has an idea up there

 

also, the difference thus far in the game is that Cora's dive got an out, and Counsell's didn't

I agree. This offense is closer to popgun than powerful. I suppose it's to be expected to an extent...

 

They need to get Hall out there, but who should sit so Hall could play?

 

EDIT:

 

Allow me to add - if Podsednik DOES have this kind of power for real (I think he had NINE homers all year last year), then it's a good thing.

I agree, they're EARLY on his fastball. He's not setting it up with the curve.......yet.

 

Clancy, I'd give Hall a day a week at 2nd, 2 at 3rd, 2 at short, get him 5 days a week, but that's just me, and I don't really know if he is capable of playing a different position every day AND stay sharp at the plate.

I'd be inclined to start him at short over Counsell.

 

Move Spivey to second in the order, and shuffle things around a little:

 

cf: Podsednik

2b: Spivey

1b: Overbay

rf: Jenkins

3b: Helms (LHP)/Ginter (RHP)

lf: Grieve (RHP)/Ginter (LHP)

ss: Hall

c: Moeller

 

It might work, it might not. The Brewers need every day power threats, and Jenkins is really the closest they have to one.

 

EDIT:

 

This inning was MUCH better: 16 pitches.

 

Ben might make it through five. Then let Burba take two.

Maybe it was just some jitters in the first. Plus at least one bad call.

 

It might just be me, but it seems like the Brewers have had to play well enough to not only overcome the Dodgers this series, but the umps as well.

 

EDIT:

 

Scott's on base again... http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

Thoughts:

 

- Thank you Meltdown Bradley for giving us that caught stealing call at second. Encarrrrrnacion was sooo safe. Gary Bennett's release takes about thirty seconds.

 

- Lil' Ben looks pretty nervous... give him a break. I thought it was funny that he described in detail his two hits at AAA this year to Bill/Daron. Good to see he's focusing on the important stuff http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif .

 

- That play by Cora in the first was wicked good.

 

- Edwin Jackson's arm is going to fall off. His delivery scares me a little bit. I had never seen him pitch before, I don't think, and I'm not as impressed as I thought I would be. It's only two plus innings so far, so he could certainly change my mind, but so far, no good.

 

- My letter to the Brewers' offense was returned again. I'm going to try again but it is still unable to be located.

 

C'mon, Crew!!!

Yeah, like NOT tossing Weaver after he hit a batter after the ump warned both benches? http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/eyes.gif

 

I dunno, maybe I'mbeing cynical about the umps.

 

EDIT:

 

Scotty, what happened out there?
