[brewmann04]

ok mid way thru spring traing we should be seeing progress

time to worry about the guys that ar struggling.

[AJAY]

Turnbow is looking shaky again. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/sick.gif

[Brian the Automator]

Free Moeller!

[AJAY]

This game reminded me of those old Brewers vs. Cubs games back when neither team had any pitching and no lead was safe and something crazy would always happen to prevent the final out from happening.

 

Remember those games?

He's already been free for two seasons Brian, it's just that nobody notices.

Didn't plan on sitting at my grandma's this long. See you all later, might do some PbP tomorrow if the game is on and I'm around.

[brettac1]

Did Barton start the game?

 

I think you're harping on Bill Schroeder just a bit because I don't think you like his style, and are perhaps still peeved about the Fielder interview.

 

I think you're wrong. I'm harping on him because he was basically the only person saying that Eveland was competing for a spot on the MLB roster. He hasn't even seen AAA yet.

[ThePurpleStorm]

Is anyone else getting real nervous about Turnbow, because I am. 5 runs today in the 9th? I know it's just spring training, but I also know last year was only one year. I just hope he's not a flash in the pan.

[BREWCREW5]

of course the day when Moeller really had to do something offensive before he loses his spot to Rivera, he goes 4-5 with two doubles. UGH!

Actually, I have heard Doug Melvin mention a few times that they were looking at him as a possible 5th starter this year or lefty out of the pen. However I agree that AAA is best for him right now as he needs to be starting and he can't do it for Milwaukee right now.

I am a little worried by some performances, but it is still early enough that the pitchers are working on things. For me there performance starts to matter more after the day off on Monday. From there they have about 12 games left, so just over 2 times through the rotation and 2 weeks to the opener. Then I will start worrying if performances are still subpar.

[thumperden]

Thanks Bench Coach...that's where I heard that also. I'm glad it wasn't just me that heard about Eveland getting an outside shot. That says a lot about him.

[brewmann04]

BOY Glad it only the Middle of Spring Training or

I might be GETTING Worried about OUR Closer and Set Up GUY

Patience, my friends. Moeller will be free and bagging your groceries soon enough http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/happy.gif

I'm not worried since I don't know what he's been throwing. Dude was awesome last year in a much bigger sample. Maybe they have him working on something new: that's always my first guess when a guy had a great year and then gets lit in spring training.

I'm also not sure how he traditionally gets going, is he a slow starter?

[brewmann04]

like i said it getting closer to the season and yeas i am worried

[Brian the Automator]

Someone should write up a feature article which compares Spring Training stats to regular season stats, showing the % of players whose S/T stats are significantly better or worse than their regular season stats.

[mpepy05]

Anyone have a chance to watch villanueva? I know he's more pitcher than thrower and all that.

 

What's he top out at mph on his straight ball?
