2013-06-12 Brewers (Figaro) at Marlins (Slowey), 6:10 PM CDT [Brewers win, 10-1; Figaro 7 IP, 2 H]

[TURBO]

Could Figaro be the diamond in the rough we have been looking for all season?

 

We have had no other starting pitching surprises (in a good way), could this guy be just what we needed to start to feel good about our future?

I hate opera with a fiery passion, but Figaro must be a candidate for the most obviously perfect theme song in baseball history. Which he deserves, now that he's pitching the best game the team has seen all year (ignoring strength of opposition, anyway).

ahhh yes the wonders of small sample stats: Figaro now has a 3.47 ERA on the season with a 1.14 WHIP

Wish there were more Brewers hitters who could consistently draw walks like Weeks

[logan82]

twitter poll, brewer fans do you like the squeeze bunt? 92% said yes.

 

 

RR has all the support he needs.

Sure the squeeze bunt if fun. Most of the time it is strategery.

Could Figaro be the diamond in the rough we have been looking for all throughout Doug Melvin's years as GM?

 

fixed that for you.....

If the Brewers played the Marlins 35 times a season we could win the AAAA World Series

I thought Gorzo was SP for Tomorrow's game? Who starts tomorrow now?

The valet.

 

Brewers have an off day tomorrow. They are going with a four man rotation until they come back home.

Casper the Friendly Ghost. We have the day off

BA just noted on the broadcast the past half-inning that they're going with four starters -- two of the next five days are off days.

Betancourt back in the game. Boycott back on.

[brewcrewdue80]

Okay thanks. I seen the projected SP for 1st game in Cincy as Gorzo on ESPN's page last night.

[3and2Fastball]

Scooter with a season line of .167/.250/.528 right now

 

Concerned that Ron will never start him again now, what with his love of small samples

ESPN hates all things Brewers (see the Braun fiasco)

I know beggars can't be choosers, but watching the Crew beating up on the Marlins like this is kind of like watching the college hoops recruit across the street stomping his 8-year-old brother in one-on-one.

I suppose it's what a Florida vacation should be: a brief chance to forget your troubles and just let loose. See you in about a month, Marlins!
