    And Brewers fans chanting "overrated" at Derrek.

    Not to take anything away from Neifi's double, but my lord was that a HORRIBLE swing. He takes his eye off the ball and throws his bat at it. Isee this from him ALL the time. How does he keep getting hits like this?

    Milwaukee totally had a cub inning right there.

    And he thinks right along with a thinking pitcher. The Brewers announcers are in love with Matt Murton.
  5. muntjack
    Oh, well... I really don't care much about the outcome. Watching Murton learn keeps me tuned in.

    I really don't see how this guy could ever put up an OBP of .320. He has shown arguably the best eye on the entire team, he goes the other way, he doesn't look lost against even high quality breaking balls, and he seems to have an intense desire to keep improving. Projected over 588 ABs, Murton would have 30 homeruns this year. I can't see his slugging being that low either. When he first came up, I said I thought this kid will be a star. I still believe it.

    Even though he struck out, I love watching Murton take bad pitches that just about everyone else on our team swings at.

    I still fail to see why this is implausable. We'll have LOTS of money to spend, Hendry and Baker will have a great deal of pressure to improve and Manny WILL be shopped. The question is, do we give up a big prospect (Pie) to entice Boston to eat some of the contract? I almost guarantee that this deal will at least be discussed this winter.

    But it wasn't his fault, the books were old, the air conditioning was on the fritz, the curve shifted, his favorite teacher went on maternity leave, they switched his schedule, the test was immediately after gym, he's young. Well, unfortunately Son, I happen to know that your school has the highest budget in the state, they've brought in a lot of talented teachers and they're teaching you stuff you should already know......I for one am HIGHLY dissapointed.

    1 run in six innings against Aaron Harang and a horrible defense. Can you blame Dusty for not hitting? No. Can you blame him for completely ruining the lineup? Yes. Already twice Murton would have hit with runners on instead of Jose Macias. "Hey, dude, we're trying to win games, here"

    I think you're reading Dusty's mind. Dusty setting the kid up to fail=sad Isn't it? Not to mention how obvious it is to everyone. Grounds for getting fired, if you ask me.

    Matt Murton's projected homeruns over 600 AB's= 32

    Good thing we had Macias hitting with Nomar on, though.
  16. muntjack
    Yeah, that was pretty blatant :-) "You know, in the minors, Murton was playing against righties, lefties, whoever. It didn't matter who was on the mound. It's not like he was in a platoon situation." Gotta love it.

    I am holding on to a thread, however, it IS bleak. If we win the same amount as Houston, and head to head we win 6 of 7, we still lose. On the other hand, if we win every remaining game :-), we can't lose the WC to Houston.
  18. muntjack
    Wow. Perhaps I just happen to catch all of Albert's bad days, but I've seen him look pretty bad this year on multiple occasions. I'm not saying he hasn't made some excellent ones as well, but I've watched every one of Lee's chances this year, and I haven't seen him look bad once. He has also saved COUNTLESS bad throws from Aramis. I just don't see how this is close. Pujols is better offensively, but that should not factor in at all.
  19. muntjack
    We have to handle the Reds for once. We just need to PITCH. I think the offense is ready to explode this series. We have to avoid a slug fest. I have a really good feeling that after today Dusty is going to give up trying to bury Murton., so we might see Hairston Walker Lee Nomar Burnitz Murton Barrett Perez tomorrow, which would open a big door, IMO. I would love to see Aramis back and Matt hitting second, but for now.....

    I agree that he has come up with some timely hits. Unfortunately, with a better hitter at the top, DLee's RBIs increase, putting us in fewer critical late game situations. What the hell does that mean? Sorry, that wasn't very clear. A better OPS in the #2 hole = more runs = 4-2 lead instead of 2-2 tie = we don't need a big hit by Neifi late in the game to win. OBP. I did mean OPS. Some extra base hits instead of slap singles wouldn't hurt. True, but you gotta make sure the OBP is strong and the OPS is not just reliant on a high SLG if this batter is batting 2nd. :-) I absolutely agree. I was just trying to make a point about Neifi's lack of production, which is noticable by looking at ANY stat.

What the hell does that mean? someone who gets on base hitting at the top of the order means we score more runs so we aren't tied 2-2 in the 8th So hits in the late innings like Perez just got don't mean anything? One has nothing to do with the other. It sounds like people will say anything rather than give Perez credit for anything. I'm confused. Of course those hits mean something, but for an extreme example, let's say Neifi goes 1-4, grounding into 2 double plays in the 3rd and 7th, and then gets a big RBI single in the ninth to tie the game. Is he helping or hurting the team? I think he's hurting it.
