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

[Weirdos19]

The bullpen should be fresh enough. Wise, Eveland, Helling, DLR, and (gulp) Santana should be able to pitch.

 

Heck, Turnbow pitched last night.

[no19no1]

Ned had to see if he could eat up some more innings with Davis. He really had no choice. He only has so many pitchers and there was that 11 inning affair two days ago when Ohka went less than 4 innings

[7rebmun]

Doug Davis couldn't grip the ball today. If you were watching the broadcast or listening to Bob/Jim, you know as much. He had no feel for it today, and that was evident innings ago.

 

Yeah, I understand the bullpen isn't "well rested" but its not like everyone in the bullpen threw 3 innings each yesterday.

[stkmtimo]

This isn't a long-term problem for Doug, just a bad outing. Every pitcher, regardless of how good he is has a day just like Doug did. Please save the talk of him not being a good #2 starter just because he had one bad game. Everyone has games like this once in awhile. Doug will be back on track next start, just like good pitchers are.

[SeriesFinale]

A lot of ball left to be played, I think they can come back

[Panthers own golden eagles]

Don't give up so fast guys, if we can get to Benson a little here then we will be fine as their bullpen is for sure overworked.

I'd definitely be interested to know our record in game 3 of three-game series. I can't imagine it's very good...

Yeah, it isn't like Mr. Anna is throwing BBs up there. This game isn't over, and the scoring isn't done.

[Weirdos19]

Davis was already at 100 pitches. No reason to leave him in there with no command at all. Uecker seems more frustrated about this than anyone.

 

Don't blame Helling. A career starter was brought in with the bases loaded. Another move that makes no sense to me.

[AJAY]

What is the combined WHIP for Benson and Davis today? It must be brutal.

[stkmtimo]

hehe..Benson is struggling..hehe..

[DuluthBrew]

good AB jenks

[H0FFY]

all we ask is that ned does not leave a guy in that shows obviously that something is terribly wrong

 

there will be a game tomorrow, no one predicts the end of the world

 

but, c'mon, all of ned's relatives that are posting here, open up your eyes... ned embarrassed himself, ned embarrassed doug and ned has moved us further away from .500 than nearer it

 

in the last 30 mins, ned did a terrible job, he is still the best man for the job, I say, but in the last 30 mins he did a much more terrible job than doug... doug did not have control of his arm for whatever reason

 

but ned did not have control of his brain, that is not acceptable

[TheBwaz]

Cmon Russ, muscle one out...

[scoop53714]

Kraft

 

Thank you for that. That ruled.

[bucksman4]

Ok Wiggum....."I speak for every.....no, I speak for me. Please just go away. Fans with your attitude suck."

 

 

Ned Yost is the greatest manager in MLB.

Doug Davis was stellar today and is a great #2 pitcher.

....with EXCELLENT control

The Brewers are a clutch team and Rick Helling is a baseball god.

 

 

Do you want me to keep going on with the thoughts that are in your head or should I just stop now while I'm ahead???

[RyDogg66]

Not many teams can put a 3-4-5-6 with OPS of:

 

.863

.876

.868

.885

 

We should be able to get some runs with that kind of production.

[burnzy24]

nice kraft, my thoughts exactly.

[JoeH33]

Here we go, two on no outs. If we get a few back here we'll be right back in it!

[Panthers own golden eagles]

Good start here, lets keep it going russ

Ahead of what exactly? Yes, please stop. No need to attack me. This is a Brewer fan site, not a fairweather fan site.

[Oldcity]

Come on Russell... tie it right back up!

[Kraft4a3]

Hoffy, ever think Mike Maddux had more than his fare share to say about things. If you are going to blast Ned you better include Maddux.

[SoCalBrewfan]

Hate to pile on, but every so often I feel like everyone in the stadium plus a nationwide TV audience can tell a pitcher is done, and yet Ned and Maddux have to see a detonation just to be sure. DD has worked his way out of a lot of jams, but who thought he was going to get out of this one? Anyone?
