2010-08-11 Diamondbacks (Hudson) at Brewers (Bush), 7:10 PM CDT [Brewers lose, 8-2]

Well if this holds and we lose tomorrow, it could be our second time being swept in a 4 game series at home. That is embarrassing.

Wasn't Hudson rumored to be part of a possible Fielder trade to the White Sox? And our brass didn't think he was good enough? Oof.

The rumor was that Melvin wanted Hudson + Beckham or Viciedo. Chicago didn't want to give up that much. It wasn't that Melvin didn't like Hudson.

I figured they saw Hudson hitting 95 with his fastball and assumed they didn't need any more relievers because the couldn't believe a starter threw that hard

[Invader3K]

I think Prince would have charged if it hadn't hit him on the butt.

Macha's just a terrible manager. Ugh. Nice motivation. Nice leadership. Coffey mainly stinks lately and Melvin pitches him like he's still going well. Really, were there no other options?

Melvin thought of Hudson as a 3 or a 4 caliber starter, which isn't a bad thing considering he's young and cheap. I think Bush Fielder for Hudson Beckham would have gotten it done, especially considering what they eventually wound up trading Hudson for.

Can we abolish 4-game home series? Oh, crap, there's one with Florida to finish the home season.

Going for that top 10 draft pick in 2011
