I'm not sold on Hall, he was good last year, he's been good so far this year. Hall's going to replace Rickie in my opinion, and Rickie will go to center. These throwing errors are simply inexcusable, it should be so easy to correct, but he keeps doing the same dumb things. Though I actually agree with Bill, Prince's stretch on that ball was pretty crappy.

Not to be cynical, but what is your point here? If you are not sold on Hall, but he is going to replace Rickie, then you must also not be sold on Rickie. I still think Rickie will be fine, maybe he is actually left handed.

Weeks eventually could be great in CF. A lot of scouts have compared him to Ricky H......not my thinking but some have said it..

What's not to like about JJ Hardy?

A .247 BA last year, and a .238 BA so far this year.

You're sold on Hardy, but not Hall? You just said it yourself --Hall was good last year, and has been good so far this year. I don't know what more he has to do for people to be sold on him.

 

Don't get me wrong, I think Hardy will be a solid Brewer for years to come.

You know, i really can't help but like Fasano...

[Prince James]

Our veterans need to get to Lidle, he is fooling our youngsters badly.

[adambr2]

Wow, those last two innings just flew by.

[JoeH33]

Thank you Philly for that 6 pitch inning. They're just hacking away at everything.

[Trowekamp]

One thing to keep in mind.. for Hall's first two years the Brewers didn't trust him to play D in the last couple of innings.. and he couldn't touch and outside pitch.. let's hope Hardy and Weeks show similar improvement..

[jloos19]

Weeks hit a double? I don't consider that fooling our youngsters.

[Team Canada]

Cappy workin the lumber. Let's do this.

Doesn't the saying go, "Even a blind squirrel finds a nut." Just kidding, you are correct. I don't have faith he will do it again against Lidle though, I would rather have him face Madson. I think his chances would be better then.

[adambr2]

Did Gameday just make a mistake??? It had Cappy hitting that last one almost OUT in CF for a double!!!

[JoeH33]

Nice, Cappy helping out his own cause with a double.

 

Way to raise that OPS to .200+ http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

[jloos19]

Darn it, now Weeks, steal 2nd.

[adambr2]

Nuts. Maybe Weeks can steal a bag.

[adambr2]

Harang is self-destructing against the Pirates. They're already down 4-0 and he just walked 3 straight batters to load the bases with 1 out.

 

San Francisco seems to have Houston well in hand today, up 11-3. Houston sure has struggled lately.

[steve267268]

Ben Sheets, what a character.

[rluzinski]

I wonder if any IGT could go a full page without someone calling for a player's benching http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

[Point Beer Is Best]

At least Sheets still has a sense of humor...

I think we made it. I mean, why is Capuano still out there

[JoeH33]

Wow! The Yankees were down 9-0 and have now taken the lead in the bottom of the 6th.

 

Talk about a comeback.

[adambr2]

Abreu has had a pretty quiet season so far.

[steve267268]

Cappy just keeps amazing me.. and WOAHHH Rickie.. nice play there.. See what happens when you set your feet?!

[TheCrew07]

I didn't make my point very well as I'm watching the game, wrapping my day at work, and obviously cheating and posting here http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

 

I like Hall, I hope he continues to do well, but I'm not ready to unseat any current starters for him at this point. Last year I said he'd be the next Keith Ginter, and he's making me eat crow right now. I'm happy for him as a Brewer fan, but I'm unable to shake the feeling that free swinging Billy Hall is coming back... If he proves me wrong then great, and the way he's playing, I definately think he's earned a spot in the lineup most days. I'm not sold on Rickie's defense at all, and 2 years ago I felt the same way about Hall, but Hall has made noticeable improvement. If Hall does indead play his way into a starter (which he's well on his way to doing), then next year I could see him at second and Rickie in CF, though I'd hate to waste Hall's arm at 2nd. I just don't see a MLB tolerating the errors up the middle unless Rickie starts showing some sort of improvement in his footwork. Rickie's fielding has improved and I always thought fielding the ball the was the hard part, but Rickie is proving me wrong.

 

Ugly DP there, but it counts. Why not jump the guy and throw, ensuring the out? That was way more difficult than it had to be.
