Hey Randy, how about you hang around long enough for the people who are going to watch the World Cup game to still see you. A repeat of your last two starts would be appreciated.

 

Brewers, as hawing would say, lets go 1-0 on June 26, 2010.

[hawing]

Yes, 1-0 for June 26, 2010, Brewers. Why not?

[crewcrazy]

Jordan Schelling notes that it's becoming pretty clear that Edmonds and Gomez are in a strict platoon, even if Macha isn't saying as much.

 

I'm not a fan.

 

Edit: Fixed the graphic for PA.

[hawing]

We must make lemonade out of these lemons, then, by naming the platoon.

Someone recently suggested Go Diego Go - I forget it if it was in the chat or a thread. I like that better than Edmez or Go-dmonds.

[thablingster]

I like Go Diego Go. Go-dmonds isn't terrible, though.

[Vgmastr]

This is Fister's first start off of the DL. He's going to be on a pitch count of around 85. Hopefully the Brewers can get his pitch count up early, get him out of the game, and get into that thin Mariners bullpen.

[crewcrazy]

I like Go Diego Go. Go-dmonds isn't terrible, though.

I only feel like Godmends would be appropriate if Edmonds starts hitting like it's 2004 and Gomez finally blossoms. I agree Go Diego Go works for now.

 

Edit: On the topic of the M's bullpen, David Aardsma isn't with the team as his wife is having a baby today, so they're a man short.

[trwi7]

Wow. Nice one 2nd base ump. Completely miss a caught stealing. Moron.

[pitchleague]

anybody else have a black out of Directv 669-1?

[AZBrewCrew]

pitchleague im blacked out on both the brewers and mariners feed.

[pitchleague]

what's up with that? I thought the game time change was to make sure the game would NOT be blacked out.

 

I'm guessing Directv didn't get the message that the FOX window is in prime-time today instead of it's usual block of time.

[logan82]

So apparently the scouts were wrong about Escobar's defense.

[PeaveyFury]

Doug Davis apparently became a grizzled lumberjack during his time on the disabled list....

[trwi7]

Isn't it awesome how our worst starters are guys who signed free agent contracts in their 30s for $10 million a year?

[trwi7]

I honestly think Wolf might be a better hitter than pitcher.

[trwi7]

Haha. That was awesome!

[thablingster]

Wow, Mariners defense fell asleep at the wheel there. Weeks plowed Johnson, and I'm guessing Hart picked up on that.

[crewcrazy]

Prince really seems to be heating up. It's been awhile since we've seen him jump on a mistake pitch like that...absolutely crushed it.

 

As for the weird play right before it, I'm surprised Rickie didn't break Rob Johnson's arm on that play. Good heads up play by Hart realizing the ball got away and no one was covering home.

[trwi7]

What a disaster signing Wolf is.

[trwi7]

Major props to the organ player (name escapes me at the moment) for playing "With a Little Help From My Friends."

[BrewCrewForever]

Wolf stinks. Probably our worst starting pitcher. It's a shame Narveson or Parra will be out when Davis comes back and Wolf will stay in.

[PeaveyFury]

Wolf stinks. Probably our worst starting pitcher.

 

Even with today's bad start from Wolf, Narveson's ERA is almost a full run higher.

[Funketown]

This signing is turning into an absolute disaster. At this point, I don't feel comfortable projecting Wolf as anything better than a 4.75 - 5.00 ERA pitcher, although I am more than likely just overreacting to his epic suckitude...I keep telling myself he can't be this bad, but he continues to amaze me...

[BrewCrewForever]

Wolf stinks. Probably our worst starting pitcher.

 

Even with today's bad start from Wolf, Narveson's ERA is almost a full run higher.

Yeah, I know. But contracts asisde, I think I would rather have Narveson in our rotation than Wolf. JMO.
