This just in according to Bill Schroeder:

 

"Corey Koskie is a gamer

20 minutes into the first broadcast and we have our first Schroeder slam.

Just turned the game on and Heard J.J is out? How long for?

Playing the Cubs with an arm tied behind our back... they get a DH, we have Ohka swinging the stick

 

Why is this?

They said on TMJ it was Ned's choice. He wants his pitchers batting

GP, read the thread. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

 

He'll be evaluated daily.

But isn't that a home team decision? Like when the Giants wanted to bat Bonds DH and we said no?

Milwaukee Brewers shortstop J.J. Hardy was scratched from the starting lineup on Sunday when he experienced back spasms during the pre-game workout. Bill Hall, who was scheduled to play left field, moved to shortstop and Gabe Gross took Hall's place in the outfield.

 

Hardy's condition will be evaluated daily.

interesting how bill and daron was talking about moeller not making the team possibly. I don't know if he is ready, but you love to see Rottino make the team out of spring. I think Moeller will actually make the team and of course if he doesnt I would assume Rivera would get the nod.

Wow, that would be stunningly awesome.

[Brian the Automator]

I don't see fighting, gaming, or hard working right now.

[pitchleague]

apparently the Scrubs don't want us scouting their pitchers when they hit. Lord knows we shouldn't know how to pitcjh to Greg Maddux and a chorus of minor leaguers. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/eyes.gif

[Oswald Chesterfield Cobble]

I think we are saving the fighting for the regular season. I think Ned can only use that word so many times a season before people are turned off by it.

[ja002h]

"Sharp" is not a word I'd use to describe the Brewers today.

[BCZF]

Baker probably wants to save their pitchers from swinging so he can grind their arms to dust during the regular season.

20 minutes into the first broadcast and we have our first Schroeder slam.

 

It wasn't really meant as a slam, personally, I kind of like Schroeder, and all his goofyness and "I'm a manly man" persona...however, I didn't need to be reminded that someone is a gamer because he went after a foul ball. It wasn't a slam, just one of those "thanks for that observation, Bill" sarcasms.

 

And besides, since when do we have to wait until the first tv game to start the Schroeder bashing..it seems to be a year-round event for many people, http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

[Brian the Automator]

Cirillo would be a tremendous color man.

 

EDIT: BILL HALL WINS GAMES

[litesrn]

I liked the interview with Cappy about pitching - amazing that a 1/4 inch can make that much of a difference.

 

Wow, Hall just hit one a ton!!!

[Brian the Automator]

Wow... Demaria for Justin Barnes might just be DM's "Ray King for Doug Johnston".

[sheetswannabe]

Kind of akward looking hit, didnt think it would get that far. Nice double Prince.

The catcher for the Cubs today is the grandson of one of my clients. Catching a future hall of famer is something to be proud of.

Casey Kopitzke's dad was my little league coach one year. Nice to see he's doing good in the few at bats he's had this spring. He's great behind the plate, his hitting just needs to come around. Casey's brother Chad was actually a pitcher in the Brewers organization a few years ago.

[Roscoe Chill]

Is it safe to say Ben Hendrickson doesn't have a future with the Brewers?

Maybe it is time for a change of scenery for lil' Ben. I just don't get it. He mowed everyone down on his way up (including AAA), and then after getting rocked in Milwaukee in 2004, just fell apart. It's gotta be mental, you'd think.

[brettac1]

Justin Thompson has some sweet stuff. I think he might make the team.

That's all that I can figure out, he is back throwing (mechanically) the same way that he always has, but he just can't get it done, I think that it is time to move him if he doesn't pitch well in Nashville this year.

[danzig6767]

Capellan could be huge as a setup guy

 

If Kolb and him pan out,you mix in Wise/Turnbow,we could have an outstanding pen.Plus,Kane Davis throws 95-96 and it's possible that Maddux can get him more consistant.Lehr is decent and de la Rosa has the stuff if he can ever harness it.I have high hopes for this part of the team.

[BrewCrewForever]

If Moeller does not make the team, I would assume it will be Rivera or Johnson but if they give him more chances to catch I hope they give the hometown kid Rottino a shot to be Miller's backup. If Rottino makes it as the backup we could have 3 guys Hall, Hart, and Rottino that all can play a bunch of different positions.
