Can someone remind me again the reasoning for keeping Nieves over George?

[PrinceEatMeat]

With every homer Kottaras hits, Roenicke and Melvin feel more and more like morons.

cubs lose

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

I'm happy with George too and am glad he's up...but remember this next time he has a passed ball on a called strike three or when David Ortiz steals a base on his noodle arm.

[hurricanecrush]

Casey's going to make them pay.

But he's a defensive wizard!

 

I'd rather have Kottaras catch with a hockey goalie's blocker than Nieves with a catcher's mitt. Blue?

[logan82]

Cuzzi behind the plate. Crap. I hate that guy.

[ilovebeer]

nice job Casey.

[PrinceEatMeat]

Right you are!

[jjkoestler]

Mighty Casey! Get hot buddy.

[Menotti80]

Nice job hitting the mistake Casey

[trwi7]

Leave it to Betancourt to do that after three great at bats.

[PrinceEatMeat]

And...Betancourt still sucks.

The Brewers' 1-5 hitters can keep pace with the Sox. If only we had the extra $75 million to spend like they do.

True, their lineup is insane. Their whole team is incredibly deep everywhere. It would be great to have that extra cash. I feel lucky to have the lineup and team we have considering our payroll. No way anyone can match that Red Sox lineup without a high payroll.

[Oxy]

Oofta. That would have been great if Wilson just backpedaled there and made the catch instead of trying for the leaping stab.

[logan82]

I will be shocked if there are no problems with Cuzzi tonight. He is one of a handful of umps I would love to never see again.

What do to with an extra 75m per year?

Prince: $25m

Reyes: $20m

Heath Bell: $10m

K-Rod: $10m

CJ Wilson: $10m

[jwill535]

as much as Go-Go sucks at the plate this year, at least he offers two plus areas that can be used game by game and justifies his roster spot.

Not sure I'd sign both Bell and K-Rod, but with that kinda money why not? That would be an amazing team. Rotation of Greinke, Gallardo, Marcum, Wilson, Wolf. Bullpen with Ax in the 7th, K-Rod 8th, Bell 9th. Insane.

I want him on the roster as a pinch-runner and defensive replacement. That's it. At this point, he sucks so bad at the plate that I'd just play Morgan everyday. He wouldn't do any worse than Gomez against lefties.

Don't you mean ax in the 6th, k-rod in the 7th, and loe in the 8th?

[logan82]

Without looking it up I would guess that the Red Sox are close to or at the top of the league every year in doubles. That outfield wall is really low and I imagine quite a few balls bounce over.

I just spit out my beer laughing. Well played sir.

So far Randy Wolf looks ok, I hope he can keep it up.
