forgot one... Talked to Ned Yost last night, and noticed he was using a glove that had "Wes Helms" sewed onto it...I asked if the brewers just had a box or two of those left over...He said "nah, it was gift from a friend" Thought that was kinda funny

I had to leave before the end of he game today, as i will on Thursday as well.. some notes: Michael Brantley: I want to see it, but i don't think he's got much power at all...everything he hit was pretty soft to the opposite field. He made a really nice grab in Left Field, but he's not overly fast..in fact, he's looked kind of slow during the year...i hope he develops into something more, but right now he's behind Cain and Ford...and batting 9th kinda shows they think of brantley perhaps not as highly as the other two Lorenzo Cain: He was the DH today...he hits the ball hard...that's all i got. Hopefully he will do something of substance on Thursday Angel Salome: He was ahead of every pitch, and he hit it straight into the ground...which is pretty much what everyone did. His arm wasn't quite cannon esque toay, but he's got an extremely fast release...he just kind of snaps the ball. For a catcher he is extremely quick, and a fast runner...for comparison, he runs faster than brantley. Has got tree trunks for forearms...he looks more like a greco roman wrestler than a baseball player Kevin Roberts: Utterly hittable...fastest pitch at 91, but worked in the 87-89 range for most of the game...All three Homers were very well hit...so no cheapies. Will Inman: Talked to him before the game for awhile...they are making him chart the pitches on days he doesn't pitch, so he was in the stands with Derek Miller. Inman will be starting on Thursday. Seemed like a nice guy. Ned Yost: Seemed a bit overwhelmed at the plate, but a pretty good defensive first baseman, which is nice to have. Ryan Crew: Hit the Ball well today...1st double was a cheepie, but second was driven deep. i think he will develop some pretty good power. Kenny Holmberg: Sat next to a friend of Kenny's dad and he told me the Brewers would have sent Kenny to brevard if not for the Hurricane...also said that the brewers plan to eventually give Kenny a crack at catcher...said they meant to this year in winter ball, but it never happened.. Well, that's all i can think of for now. Chris Volstad is gonna pitch in the majors...he looked like a 6 foot 7 brandon webb out there today. Also, Gabby Sanchez is like Mike Piazza if he can stick at catcher. edit: got hammonds and Roberts mixed up

I'm headed to the Wv/GSO game, and I'm gonna keep a close eye on Michael Brantley and Lorenzo Cain today... I can say this...Lorenzo is a pretty big guy....while brantley was more of skinny dude...both are young, but that may be why Cain is viewed as more of a power guy than brantley

notes from tonight's West Virginia Game: Angel Salome: He didn't really get anything to hit tonight...they walked him twice...looked good stopping the ball, has a cannon...didn't get to try and throw anyone out stealing, but threw down to first once, and he's got a laser Mat Gamel: Didn't look great at the plate, and made an error in the field...i'll keeep an eye on him tommorrow Darren Ford: Stole 2nd and 3rd in the first inning...he's unbelievably fast..stole second---slid in and stood up before the ball got there---Also, he was safe by a step when he got thrown out at first later in the game. Robbie Wooley: Throws gas...the gun wasn't on tonight, so i don't know exactly how fast, but noticeably hard...his line will look good, but when he missed, he missed by a bunch...threw a couple balls that must have been 7-8 feet off the ground, as Angel didn't have a chance Lorenzo Cain: Hits the ball very hard... Ryan Crew: a bit shaky in the field...got a nice hit...but looked relatively lost at the plate Michael Brantley: Runs well...hits the other way...pretty exciting...reminded me a bit of will lewis.. So, the team looked pretty good...nowhere near the power they had last year, so i wonder if they will score a bunch of runs... I'm excited about tommorrow...If anyone has a particular player they want me to watch closely, let me know

I'm still working on the prizes to complete the prize list. We had some autographed bats, but they were lost in the mail. boooooooooooo!!!! I went to the post office, and they chastised me for not taping them and insuring them...i am a moron... I will try and find something else to donate!

I will be at the WV game tonight, tommorrow, and Thursday, and look forward to giving first hand reports on what i see..

ya know, there's a store full of brewerfan.net products

is this game on espn?

welcome aboard dave! Jenkins is better than Lee... just sayin'... hehe...not starting an argument, just laughing to myself...people really don't like geoff jenkins...i don't really that much myself...but he and carlos are amazingly similar given statistics and scenario

ok... two questions: when did agustin septimo leave the brewers organization??? he loloed pretty solid today---wait minor league rule 5...was that it? where is ryan marion? He's a friend of a friend, and since this is his third year, and rookie ball is out of the question, has he been released? do we know? edit: Agustin was taken in the minor league rule 5: Minor League Rule 5 thread

Francisco Plascencia is playing in the SAL for the Savannah Sandgnats Agustin Septimo is playing for the Greensboro Grasshoppers, also in the Sally league Edit: Corrected Septimo's team edit: you think i would have noticed that since he played for the home team... duh...well, i guess i'll see plenty of him this year

well, they've switched up the highlights on espnnews...but holy crap i can't believe that happened

it's time i told you guys...i'm michael eisner...i control the world...

wouldn't be surprised to see the west virginia game rained out today

generally, the funds needed to pay for the ezboard are through a treasure chest donation system...when cash is needed to fund the boards, brian will make donation possible...other than that, brewerfan doesn't need cash

that was kind of a dumb move by rickie...it looked like he was pretty close to safe, even though it looked like he would be out by a mile...

to repeat myself: WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

yup.. we should see quite a bit of the bullpen today

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

So, I'll get to see these guys 3 times next week...i'm excited...but bummed that i won't be seeing fermaint.. oh well...hopefully inman starts one of my games...also excited to see salome again

I was a big branyan fan because he hit the ball really hard, and he was a very nice individual...and a cool dude when i met him a few times in the minors

Cruz may actually get ab's at 3b when vinny is catching or pitching, or one of the other 20 things he does.. i didn't think about that earlier

give me enrique over sorensen and clark over abernathy... If i knew sending sorensen down was gonna put enrique cruz on the bench, i wouldn't have been in favor of it
