Game Thread #43: Brewers at Red Sox

Different thread, same day.

It'll be Dave Bush vs. Tim Wakefield, or more appropriately, Ryan Braun vs. the amount of runs Bush allows.

Game time is who knows, and it's not on TV.

Go Brewers!

Come on now...

Prince looked pretty comfortable at the plate in game 1. A few more feet on one of his doubles and there’s a different outcome. I know that’s not what happened, but there’s a chance Ryan Braun won’t have to knock in 7 runs for us to win. If Prince knocks in 3, then Braun will only have to knock in 4….

Bad game for Corey Hart this afternoon… the Red Sox were begging to get beat if Hart gets even one hit in his RBI opportunity ABs…

I wonder if watching Dickey pitch last year will help Braun or Dillon?

Charlie Haeger and that Zink guy are in the IL so this could be the first time a lot of our batters see a knuckleball.

Random Gripes

I read the Sports Illustrated article on the Brewers this week.

I saw their mention of Stetter having been the “Candy Man” for the bullpen. As any of my co-workers will tell you, I absolutely love all candy, especially milk chocolate based treats. However, I think the last thing a major leaguer needs on-the-job is a sugar high.

I’m not saying that they should have only health food out there and frankly, I’d rather have them chewin’ tobacco out there, as at least that won’t negatively impact their game (their lives, sure…but not their game:P). Ideally, it’d be good if they could have a trail mix or a protein bar or something…but not something that will leave them crashing in about 30 minutes.

Also, does hazing the new guys really bind a team together? If I was the new guy it would negatively impact my performance. I know I’m not a pro athlete, but I sure as hell do worse when others make me jump through unneeded hoops.

by PagsBrewCrew on May 17, 2008 7:15 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

some FSN feature showed the clubhouse

Saw boxes of candy bars including one of Snickers. There is also a mini short order grill.

by ol Pete on May 17, 2008 7:25 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

snickers has some redeeming qualities

seems to give me a burst of energy for my workouts without crashing me, but that might just be trying to justify my own habits.

Twix completely wipes me out though:P

In any case, i think a powerbar protein plus, etc would be better for them if they NEED a candybar. And if they’re just sucking on blowpops, someone should call their mommies to spank them for improper nutrition;)

Hey…..I have been trying to give Nedly the benfit of the doubt as the Brewers just simply keep sucking. AND I completely understand that the players need to be held accountable, but I am starting to think that no one is “lighting a fire under these guys”. Therefore, if Nedly doesn’t do something soon….he is going to be going BYE BYE…even it its totally not his fault. I think Ned is an attitude himself anyway.

I don't see why he wouldn't be able to stay as a backup for the remainder of the year

I'll certainly admit I could be wrong,

but aside from his power he’s always struck me as a AAAA guy who could give some power off the bench in the bigs. But that’s it.

by Ted Simmons Speed Camp on May 17, 2008 10:30 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

exactly

that’s what he would do- provide lefty power off of the bench, which the Brewers do not have. And there’s this:

Hall’s OPS career vs. righties: .756

Branyan’s OPS career vs. righties: .811

Whenever prince is at first, he should charge the mound and yell "MEAT!"
