Yay Ned for changing the strategy you do that works!

2B Rickie Weeks
CF Mike Cameron
LF Ryan Braun
1B Prince Fielder
RF Corey Hart
3B Russell Branyan
SS J.J. Hardy
C Jason Kendall
RHP Ben Sheets

I take back everything I’ve ever said about Ned having an open mind about statistics and new analysis.

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

Bens Bat

Did you not see Bens bat last game? It’s awake and ready to knock in some runners.

My favorite part of this move is his comment that hitting the pitcher 8th was working, but not as well as he'd hoped.

So clearly, a change was necessary. It’s sort of like when you buy a purported 300yd driver, which adds 40yds to your drives, but doesn’t get you all the way to 300yds, and you snap it over your knee in frustration. It makes TOTAL sense.

Sounds like

you hit a golf ball about as far as I do

That would be referred to as “going Zambrano.”

Hardy

And yet he’s quick to jump on JJ for when he says he did better in his spot last year and doesnt like where he’s at now. “Oh well thats something JJ really needs to correct, he should do somethin about blah blah blah”

Whatever...

It Probably will make a difference, I bet Benny will end up leading off a few innings. You never want that to happen.

Oh well, game off

no more white house propaganda in baseball please.

Sheets getting hit hard today

I guess it says something when he is, but has only given up two runs and its the sixth.

Jerry Meals, HP ump calls strike for a ball over the opposite batters box

Another ball is called a strike, but Corey ends up singling on a grounder.

by ol Pete on May 26, 2008 2:10 PM CDT reply actions  

PH

I’d almost consider pinch-hitting the LH Counsell here. Rickie hasn’t looked good today.

by oconnobe on May 26, 2008 2:22 PM CDT reply actions  

sweet

hard to double up, huh?

"Get up, get up, get outta' here, GONE!!!"

Shouse!

at least through 2 batters, he’s my hero.

by PagsBrewCrew on May 26, 2008 2:33 PM CDT reply actions  

l33t

he rocks when he’s on

by PagsBrewCrew on May 26, 2008 2:35 PM CDT up reply actions  

lets get this man

in the starting rotation:)

jk;)

by PagsBrewCrew on May 26, 2008 2:35 PM CDT up reply actions  

Cameron

why steal? we both know Braun can’t hit with RISP:P You have a better chance scoring from first on a double than Braun can get a hit with RISP. Steal during Hart’s AB.

by PagsBrewCrew on May 26, 2008 2:42 PM CDT reply actions  

that'll work

when i saw “in play run(s)” I was hoping it was a homer;)

by PagsBrewCrew on May 26, 2008 2:44 PM CDT up reply actions  

yeah...

wtf happened there? they’ve been pulling him for pinch runners all series. So…what’d cameron do wrong?

by PagsBrewCrew on May 26, 2008 2:51 PM CDT up reply actions  

now gameday..

is registering Young with a homer. so…people with TVs, what’s going on?

Ump discussion

Changed froma triple to a HR

by SgtClueLs on May 26, 2008 2:53 PM CDT up reply actions  

Terrible call

Ball hit off top of the wall. Umpires met and changed it to a home run. It wasn’t.

by Et tu Brewte on May 26, 2008 2:53 PM CDT up reply actions  

To me it looked gone

Looked like it hit the metal area above the wall. Close call though.

by oconnobe on May 26, 2008 2:56 PM CDT up reply actions  

How many of these...

Close calls on home runs have their been in the last two weeks? You paying attention, Bud Selig? Maybe if it contributes to a Brewers loss, then you’ll finally change your stance.

by Et tu Brewte on May 26, 2008 2:53 PM CDT reply actions  

true

but what about that one looked like a HR?

by ol Pete on May 26, 2008 2:54 PM CDT up reply actions  

Wow, wow, wow...

Are you kidding me!

"Get up, get up, get outta' here, GONE!!!"

by BrewerLover on May 26, 2008 2:54 PM CDT up reply actions  

Branyan due for a bomb

He hasn’t had one in six major league at-bats this year. Clearly, it’s on its way.

by Et tu Brewte on May 26, 2008 2:56 PM CDT reply actions  

Dillard

looks wild, at least by gameday patterns.

pull before the next inning?

by PagsBrewCrew on May 26, 2008 2:56 PM CDT reply actions  

kendall

is going out of the yard here. i feel it:P

by PagsBrewCrew on May 26, 2008 3:01 PM CDT reply actions  

smart double-switch

by Ned. He learned the concept during the off-season.

by PagsBrewCrew on May 26, 2008 3:07 PM CDT reply actions  

Councill, Weeks, Cameron...

There’s a recipie for success…

Brad Nelson

He is playing 3B today in Memphis. When do you think he gets a shot at the hot corner for the big club?

by DaleCoop14 on May 26, 2008 3:13 PM CDT reply actions  

Rickie

why the hell did you swing at that second strike?

by PagsBrewCrew on May 26, 2008 3:15 PM CDT reply actions  

c'mon Braunie

here we go brewers, here we go!

by PagsBrewCrew on May 26, 2008 3:18 PM CDT reply actions  

Just

Our Luck

"Get up, get up, get outta' here, GONE!!!"

by BrewerLover on May 26, 2008 3:20 PM CDT reply actions  

last inning...

for Villy

assuming we can get someone on this next inning.

by PagsBrewCrew on May 26, 2008 3:21 PM CDT reply actions  

villy only had 12 pitches into the 10th

he’s good for at least two or three more innings

Let’s not forget that CV “failed” as a starter because his manager stubbornly refuses to accept that CV pitches well for the first 70 pitches, THEN like clockwork the bottom falls out. I’m not a numbers guy, but that historical trend should be obvious even to our cretinous manager.

by heybatterbatter on May 26, 2008 3:32 PM CDT up reply actions  

Agreed.

He is pitching great. Good to see. I think that is going to be his role for a while.

by zsattler on May 26, 2008 3:29 PM CDT up reply actions  

If we don't, whos pitching next?

"Get up, get up, get outta' here, GONE!!!"

by BrewerLover on May 26, 2008 3:28 PM CDT reply actions  

if we don't get anyone on base

Villy gets to pitch one more

if we do get someone on, my guess is they’ll burn Torres

by PagsBrewCrew on May 26, 2008 3:30 PM CDT up reply actions  

Nice hitting with two strikes and the wide strike zone.

by ol Pete on May 26, 2008 3:32 PM CDT up reply actions  

Villy bats

in any case, if it’s my choice. Which it ISN’T.

by heybatterbatter on May 26, 2008 3:34 PM CDT reply actions  

Nice Corey

Good at bat there, way to advance the runner!

by zsattler on May 26, 2008 3:34 PM CDT reply actions  

okay

i’ll take the small-ball. quite surprised by it though.

by PagsBrewCrew on May 26, 2008 3:34 PM CDT reply actions  

He was out but not by as much as originally appeared. Make up call? They don’t do that right?

by ol Pete on May 26, 2008 3:39 PM CDT up reply actions  

makeup call on a couple of thos pitches to kendall

the ump must want to make sure the brewers win and the game gets over so he can take a piss

by PagsBrewCrew on May 26, 2008 3:41 PM CDT up reply actions  

given the strikezone today

that was a ball? waist level, down the middle?

by PagsBrewCrew on May 26, 2008 3:39 PM CDT reply actions  

Another Reason

why there shouldn’t be instant replay in baseball. haha, wow.

by zsattler on May 26, 2008 3:39 PM CDT reply actions  

i bet

weeks strikes out

"Get up, get up, get outta' here, GONE!!!"

by BrewerLover on May 26, 2008 3:42 PM CDT reply actions  

wow...seriously

what’s happened to the strikezone? I see 4 balls in the last 2 ABs that would have been strikes just an inning ago.

by PagsBrewCrew on May 26, 2008 3:43 PM CDT reply actions  

gameday

in play no out=groundout?:P

by PagsBrewCrew on May 26, 2008 3:44 PM CDT reply actions  

lemme guess

they figure out how to do a double-switch and pull out Hart:P

by PagsBrewCrew on May 26, 2008 3:46 PM CDT reply actions  

ARam

Blast in the 8th, 3 – 1 Cubs. Not looking good.
