Bill: Is it the Marlins pitching or the Brewers hitting?

 

HOW ABOUT THE STARTING PITCHING FOR THE BREWERS!

 

at least mention it.

What is the longest losing streak of a team that went on to make the playoffs? Where would I find something like that?

I don't know the answer to that question, but I do know that the Cardinals had two separate 8-game losing streaks the year they won the World Series. So there's always that.

Edit: In addition to the '06 Cards, the 2006 Dodgers, 2005 Padres, 2000 Mariners, and 1990 Reds also had 8-game losing streaks and still made the playoffs.

Dont know about losing streaks, but the Astros started 15-30 in 05 and went to the World Series, of course they had Clemens, Pettite, Oswalt, Lidge, etc.

Wait a minute. Tell me you all just caught that bit by Trenni in which she said Ned keeps a calendar of the bullpen and when they appear and how many innings and when a guy appears two day in a row he gets highlighted so that Ned knows that if he uses them the next day, they will get rest after that. She then said that Ned NEVER uses anyone more than three days in a row and they always get two days rest if they go three in a row.

[And That]

Free Mark DiFelice.

[danzig6767]

Free Mark DiFelice.

Do you know anything about the stuff he has? Is he just a junkballer that's fooling AAA batters?

 

[tristarscoop]

Do I have to assume that Ned came up with this theory after he pitched Gagne 4 days in a row?

[MillerParkSouth]

i was debating ponying up the dough for the mlb.tv package, but this team is making my decision pretty easy for me.

[crewcrazy]

Free Mark DiFelice.

At this point, free Derek Miller, Steve Hammond, Sam Narron, Evan Anundsen, and anyone else in the minors pitching well.

Is anyone capable of stepping up to get us out of this funk? This weekend becomes pretty big already.

If they lose the Cardinals series Ned is gone

Ha. Hall says, screw you to the stop sign at 3B. Run #2!!! 3 more runs and it gets interesting! http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

[bbaehman]

I hate caring about these guys because they are obviously mediocre. Thank God we are done with the Marlins

[Fatter than Joey]

TGJ time!!

[sheetswannabe]

Why is Hart sitting? I was in class and just noticed.

 

If hes available, Ned should have put him in, instead of TGJ

[Fatter than Joey]

TGJ for the out.

[bbaehman]

TGJ was clutch like once against SD

[SeriesFinale]

Blech

 

and yeah, I noticed Hall running through the sign...second time a Brewer has done that this week

[Fatter than Joey]

clutch this

[adambr2]

Just as a thought....

 

Do you think the fact that some players don't feel inclined to listen to their base coaches shows a lack of discipline from the team, and an imbalance of team control between player and coach?

[And That]

Free Hernan Iribarren.

[sheetswannabe]

Sheethead you called the score, but without the homers

 

Sheethead: My prediction: Marlins complete the sweep, final score 7-2,

[bbaehman]

What the heck happened to the team we saw in spring training?
