  1. Send me a PM. That's all I have. I will give everybody 2 weeks to send me a PM with an address. After that I will hold a drawing.
  2. Brew CrewBall with stats on the Brewers vs first time MLB starters. Link
  3. PM me with an address. One left.
  4. The 8 people who first asked have first dibs. I will give them time to respond and then give out the rest on a first come first serve basis. brains and braun gets the 9th. 2 left.
  5. Guys? Anybody? Bueller, Bueller...
  6. The good news is that they're facing a guy who's never pitched before in the majors (Anthony Swarzak), so they have a good shot of going into Sunday for a "rubber match". We usually fare poorly against guys making their MLB debut.
  7. I thought they called him the rooster.
  8. I think the question has to be about where we think Hart's true talent lies. Is he the guy who put up a .278/.320/.504/.824 against RHP in 2007 or the guy who put up a .263/.291/.454/.745 against RHP in 2008. I think he is closer to the 2007 numbers. The problem with using just the numbers with Hart is that he only has 2 full seasons of stats and they are at 2 opposite ends of the spectrum. They give us some indication, but I think there is still a lot of guesswork involved.
  9. Players don't get triples unless the fielder plays a ball poorly off the wall or dives for and misses a ball. They don't call errors on much of anything for outfielders. Triples are just as lucky as in the park home runs. Are you trying to say Fielder is the only guy who hustles wince he has 2 inside the park homeruns and there are players who had stand-up triples?
  10. So I finally found D-Man at Woodman's in Madison. 3 whole bottles. The guy working there thought Black Wheat was the same thing with a darker label. Sigh. Edit: We looked for D-man at a few places on Friday which prompted my wife to ask "are you going to go around Madison and buy out Dancing Man Wheat a bottle at at time?" To which I replied, "if I have to." I also picked up some Horny Goat Wheat. I will let you know how it is. Have some Mothership Wit. It is ok, but not great. Tastes like a Belgium Ale(?) to me, similar to Blue Moon. A little sweet and not quite to my liking. Still a quality beer.
  11. I have to apologize.? I was wrong about the number of photos I had.? I have more like 10 - 11.? So like the lady says about 37 seconds in ? You are all winners.? Please send me a message with your address so I can send the photos to you if you are still interested.? ProfMath Rev.

  12. When Macha was hired he said he wanted to come in with fresh eyes and make up his own mind on what we had in our players. He was giving Hall a fresh start to the year. I think that was a bad idea to some extent, but I can see why he would want to do it. I think he has handled the Hall situation pretty well. Hall has been in a soft platoon for almost the entire year. Counsell just can't handle the load as the big half of a platoon. I think Hall should still get some starts vs RHP if he is platooned with Counsell.
  13. I preferred the blue one with the flag M. I think this one is ugly and to top it off, it is the other team's color.
  14. Well everybody who said Gross was replaceable was right. It only took a year to get a guy to replace him. Good luck to TGJ. He at the very least should get a chance to show what he can do. I doubt he would ever get that chance with us. I almost get the feeling that Melvin was hanging onto TGJ just so he could trade him to the Padres. Where else would he have ended up?
  15. I think Hardy is a better choice for the 2 hole against RHP. 2006-2008 vs LHP Hardy .308/.385/.578/.963 Hall .292/.374/.536/.910 2006-2008 vs RHP Hardy .265/.308/.423/.731 Hall .235/.296/.435/.731 I wouldn't call Hall a horrible or even bad choice in the 2 hole against LHP. I think Hardy is better. On second thought Cameron looks like the best choice for the 2 hole.(ignoring lineup optimization that would put Fielder up there) 2006-2008 vs LHP .277/.389/.503/.892 2006-2008 vs RHP .243/.321/.449/.770
  16. "It's just one little thing that's going to make it click. I'm trying to find it." Link Well unfortunately Billy, you have been looking for over 2 years now. Sounds like Hall will be starting against Peavy as well.
  17. I don't have it, but a year back one of their insider articles was a JS Online article that they linked to. I thought it was pretty shady to charge people to read AP articles that were free elsewhere.
  18. Think Nelson was released over McGehee because he was left handed (i.e. need the RH bats on the bench)? Otherwise, neither is really doing much as a PH. I would think Nelson was the one to go instead of McGehee because McGehee can play 2B and 3B. Nelson was pretty limited defensively. Not good for a bench player.
  19. I think it is typical to leave a guy on the 15 - day DL until you need the 40 man roster spot. I believe they did the same with Capuano last year.
  20. No, a long term contract to Fielder wouldn't be a good idea. He isn't likely to be in better shape than he is now. More likely much worse. Despite what has been said by Bill Schroeder, he is still a bad defensive 1B. Hardy isn't a lesser talent than Fielder. Neither can be easily replaced, but it is much easier to find a good hitting 1B or shift a guy there than it is to find a good hitting SS. Anybody that can hit is a possible 1B. Of our position players, if money wasn't the issue, Hardy would probably be the one to lock up. Realistically the only one who we might be able to sign to a reasonable extension is Weeks. The only reason to do that though is so that all of our top prospects don't have to be successful. It would also give us the ability to trade one. The best thing to do would be to ride all of them out till they hit free agency unless we get blown away with an offer form another team.
  21. We just beat up on 2 teams(Cubs,Cardinals) with many injuries. I say kick'em while they are down and hope we get a big enough lead to end up on top at the end of the year. I still think the Cubs are a better team than we are and the Cardinals are about as good as we are. This good feeling will all go away when we have a bad streak. Reading the in game threads we still see people worried even when we are up 5+ runs in many games. As a fan base, I think we are still waiting for the rug to be yanked out.
  22. I am encouraged that Escobar is sticking around the stats he is while he is struggling to start the year. This seems to indicate he is struggling somewhat Not making hard contact is struggling in my opinion. People know what he is capable of, but when we are talking about him playing, the focus will be on what he is right now. If we are talking about him a couple years from now, I think people are more willing to look at his possible growth and it would become a much more positive conversation. Gamel would be ripped appart more if we had a 3B that could hit RHP without a platoon. As it is he still gets wuite a bit of flack for his defense. It is much more difficult to rip defense than offense because of the nature of the statistice involved. I am sorry I upset you so much with my comment. He doesn't walk much so he needs to carry a much higher BA to keep his OBP up. I meant it much like if I had said, Gamel needs to play solid defense to justify playing full time at 3B.
  23. He's bounced between .250-.270 most of the year. He doesn't walk much so he needs to carry a much higher BA to keep his OBP up. It is sitting at .315 right now.
  24. Mat with one T
