8/4/05 Brewers (Davis) vs. Mets (Benson) 11:10 AM CST

I don't think Geoff could be more on fire right now.

Benson is a coward - intentionally walking Branyan.

 

MAKE HIM PAY, JJ!!!

 

EDIT:

 

UGH! Bad enough to pop out on the first pitch... but when it means cowardice pays off, it's even worse.

[markwitx]

bases loaded for JJhttp://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/glasses.gif

[AJAY]

Let's go J.J. !!

[Ralph Wiggum]

blech...

 

 

Patience, J.J., patience is a virtue

[JenksFan5]

Good inning boys. Three runs across even with three LOB. Now it is time for Davis to hopefully settle in and just throw strikes.

[markwitx]

kkk

[markwitx]

KKKK

[Ralph Wiggum]

Ouch.

 

Why couldn't Beltran get hot tomorrow?

[clancyphile]

Darn gopher balls...

[H0FFY]

According to my sportsline, Doug just hit four corners and go no calls. Darn. C'mon Mr Davis. Let us bat again.

[bucksman4]

Davis easily has the worst command of any pitcher I've ever seen in my life. It's as if he's scared to throw a strike. I would laugh if Piazza took him yard here. It'll stick it to him for walking 4 batters already in the third inning.

[JenksFan5]

Davis appeared to be settling down, but now is back to throwing balls and getting behind hitters. C'mon Doug. Throw strikes!!

[JenksFan5]

Darn it!!!

jinx!

 

Booo!

[MadisonBrewerBlue]

my gosh how many hrs has piazza hit against the brewers in his career

[stkmtimo]

Well, Piazza did just that. Give me a BREAK!

 

In other news, Felix Hernandez is struggling against the Tigers in his MLB Debut. Bases juiced and no outs.

[jvrocksaz]

Doug, if you never win your tenth game this year, this is the reason why...

 

See lead come, see lead go...

[Ando Calrissian]

why is it that our pitchers are completely incapable of protecting a lead. ugh. why do i even bother to listen to the stinkin' games?

[bucksman4]

I'm laughing....haha.....I'm sorry to say this to you Davis lovers but he is NO #2 pitcher in the major leagues. Sorry.

Since I'm making predictions today, I'm going to say that this is the game that Davis gets his elusive 10th win in, dropping his ERA under 4 for the first time in a few months.

Well, there goes that idea. Stupid Pizza

[H0FFY]

Oh goodie, I can now post my favourite line...

 

we have outhit the opposition by more than 100% and we are not in front.

 

Just once I want a winning laugher.... not do all we can to play 1 run games.... this is tough on us.

[bsglorydays]

Typical lately...

The Brewers stake their pitcher out to a big lead, only to see the pitcher come back out and give up runs (usually including at least one walk that ends up scoring).

Yes, he is, as evidenced by his high strikeout totals and pretty decent ERA, but when he walks a lot of guys, he signals his downfall. A good case in point is this game.

[SmartBall]

Davis has horrible command today, obviously, but did you honestly say he has the worst command you have ever seen, have you ever seen a game when he is pitching well. When he is on he is right on the black
