8/10/07 - Brewers (Bush) at Astros (Jennings) - 7:05pm CT

That was awesome.....Great job Bush

[phatmatt1215]

Color me SHOCKED!!!!!!!!! Bush got out of that!!!!!!!

[adambr2]

Wow, Bush really showed me something there. He looked terrible up until then in the 1st and 2nd. But after he loaded the bases with nobody out, he really buckled down to get out of it.

 

He shouldn't have even had to get that 3rd out, but I'm glad to see that Hirshbeck's incompetency as a 1st base umpire didn't cost us there.

[MoneyballMan]

Ok, I really need to find a way to edit out this Jerry Garcia pig cooking show from these games.

[cruiserx43]

Cool at this rate maybe bush can go 4 innings.

[phatmatt1215]

Please get Dave Bush out of the game NOW!!!!!! He STINKS!!!!!!!!!!

Serious question -- who would you like to see them go ahead and replace him with here in the 2nd inning?

Someone from the minor leagues.... Stop the game for a couple hours, call someone up, and put him in.http://static.yuku.com/v2//domainskins/bypass/img/smileys/wink.gif

Hardy likes the 8 spot.

[MoneyballMan]

Someone called that on this thread VERY early tonight - batting JJ 8th will help him out!

[And That]

Getting JJ looking at more good pitches will help him a lot, I guarantee it.

I win.

 

[steve267268]

Uh ohhhhh. Someone is heating up again!

[MoneyballMan]

YES! Ned finally moved JJ and his .322 OBP down in the order.

It's too bad the guy who's replacing him has had a .282 OBP since June 25th. http://static.yuku.com/v2//domainskins/bypass/img/smileys/frown.gif

 

Normally, I'd agree with you, but Hardy clearly needs this, and has needed this for a long time. With Graffy gone from the everyday lineup, it isn't like we have a ton of better options, and way may end up sinking or swimming with Rickie somewhere atop the lineup. Getting JJ looking at more good pitches will help him a lot, I guarantee it. Also, having Weeks-Hart-Braun means that our fastest three regulars are all at the top, and they could cause some trouble.

The resident hipster called the Hardy turnaround!

 

[phatmatt1215]

Thanks for moving JJ down in the lineup, Ned!!!!!!

I should probably let him respond, but I'm assuming that was frustration. Although I assume Yost will want to use CV this evening (as usual), so you may as well get him up right away.

 

Yes... that was totally said out of frustration, as is 99% of the things I say with this team.

 

[lukevan]

I guess we'll chock one up for Ned Yost there.

 

Good to see Hardy hit one out again finally. Hopefully he can give us some key hits down the stretch.

[MoneyballMan]

And that's small (only one AB), but a good sign - Rickie taking some pitches.

[Oldcity]

That first base ump must have his money on Houston tonight!

[MoneyballMan]

Come on! That was closer than the last call at first!

[uecker9]

Corey hits solo shots at night. Only solo shots!

[Scooter1027]

What in the heck. Who paid off that first base ump tonight. Should he be investigated like that NBA guy?

[Brewcrewin07]

What is Hirschbeck's problem tonight?? Two missed calls in the same inning?? Give me a break.http://static.yuku.com/v2//domainskins/bypass/img/smileys/mad.gif

[Vgmastr]

What a joke of an umpire. Two obvious calls blown already.

[timothyw80]

That first base ump must have his money on Houston tonight!

Yeah I was thinking the exact same thing...

 

[The Ignitor]

another awful call! Send the FBI to investigate that guy.

[bobskube]

Hirschbeck just killed a great oppurtunity to rally.

 

So frustrating when you do things right and hustle and get penalized. Total bull crap. I'm really sick of things going against the Crew so much!

[Bruce Ciskie]

I suppose it would be in poor taste to suggest that someone spit in his face.http://static.yuku.com/v2//domainskins/bypass/img/smileys/indifferent.gif
