So help me, if we don't rip Haynes, I'll....

[brettac1]

...My thoughts exactly

[SlideBernieSlide]

How many innings will Santos be restricted to? 4 or 5? Can't imagine him going much past that? Then I guess either Kinney or Adrian come in for 2 or so?

 

One thing we have going for us, is that Jimmy Haynes has been horrible at GABP

 

Career at GABP: 1-10, 7.41 (64.1ip, 53er), 13gs, 1cg

[clancyphile]

Cool.

 

Slugfest.

The final score of this game is either going to be 18-15 or 3-1.

[Frank Mallon]

i have that feeling, someone will get double diget runs. Lets just hope it's the Crew.

[DuWayne Steurer]

Which scenario is worse......

 

A) Santos gets lit up, as expected, and we continue on with your normally scheduled season?

 

or

 

B) Santos goes 6 IP, K's 7, gives up 3 hits and one run, and 33 people will immediately proclaim him our # 2 starter and rotation savior?

[Cyanogen5]

Depends...which one gets us the win??

[Diskono]

^^^I'm hoping for option B, but with Santos getting sent down to AAA as soon as Capuano is back.

[rluzinski]

When Haynes pitches a one hit complete game shutout, I will make sure I am flaming fall-down drunk, as to fully appreciate the nauseous suffering that can only be felt by a Milwaukee brewer fan!

Anyone ever take a look at Jimmy Haynes' numbers against Milwaukee since he was given the boot, he turns into Wade Miller when he is facing the Brewers:

 

4-0, 25 inn. 3.23 era, 1.56 whip, with 14Ks

 

Despite his struggles of late I bet Haynes shuts the Brewers down, and Santos gets battered.

The Brewers turn a lot of people into allstars. They wouldn't be the Brewers we know and love otherwise.

[Justin Einerson]

Looking at the two ERAs for these guys, I'm starting to think that we should bring Ryan Longwell along to get those much needed PATs in this game.

 

Brewers 17

Bengals (I mean Reds) 13

I really don't think that it is super insightful to look at stats related to past performances against the brewers. This year's team is a very different team from last year, and is almost incomparable to 2 or 3 years ago.

 

I do think that there is luck out there, and that once a pitcher develops a certain mentality (ie. "I dominate the Brewers") they tend to pitch up to that level.

 

I hope that they rock him tonight, but wouldn't be surprised if they get held to a couple of runs and eek out a win.

Happy Birthday, Ben Grieve!

 

um, you're on the bench.

[matthewcmeq]

Any word on why Bill Hall is not starting, what with his incredible stats against Cincy?

 

We here haveno right to complain about the performance of Mike Matheny, Jack Wilson, etc. against the Brewers until our manager starts playing our own Mike Mathenies in opportune series. Let Spivey play, play Ginter for Helms, and most importantly, GET BILL HALL IN THERE.

Two walks to start off the game is just begging for trouble.

 

Edit: Looks like Santos worked out of it, but that first inning just screams "white knuckler".

Ben Grieve was starting to heat up and now he has to sit on the bench?

 

Absolutely ridiculous. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/mad.gif

[AJAY]

What ever happened to taking some pitches? Guys are swinging way too early in the count.

[tomwopat]

did daron sutton forget to take his meds today? he seems especially bad.

 

SHUT UP, DARON!!!

[tomwopat]

did my eyes just deceive me, or did wes helms just take a base on balls? a free ride? a walk?

[RobertR]

That's the Jimmy Haynes I remember. He might get out of this inning "limiting" the damage, but he'll have more of these and the bullpen will get a lot of work tonight.

Grand Salami for Overby!
