    And once again, another 7-4 loss. This might be a long season, but there's a long way to go.
  2. TuesdaysWithRillo
    Could it possibly be that they are moving Spring Training to Florida as to why they haven't released the schedule yet?
  3. TuesdaysWithRillo
    I really question Connelly's ability as a goaltender. He just seems like he can't get it done for a full 60 minutes. He was good in the 1st period, but has been useless since. A lot of it had to do with stupid penalties too. There were way too many penalties committed by the Badgers.

    Sveum's reaction: http://blogs.jsonline.com/brewers/default.aspx

    Not too bad of a start tonight in Denver. 1-1 after the 1st period and if not for some good goalie work by Connelly has made it could be a huge Denver lead. EDIT: Now it's 4-1 Badgers! EDIT: Well there went that. It's 4-4. EDIT: Just as I say that, it's 5-4 Badgers, but they just committed a stupid penalty. EDIT: And after the stupid penalty, Denver scores. 5-5. Lots of dumb penalties tonight. EDIT: And it's 6-5 Denver. This is a game we should have had.

    This is good news. I did not want Sveum as our manager. I'd rather go with any of the candidates mentioned because they have more experience. Sveum had his chance, but he started Suppan in his most critical game and refused to ever pinch hit for Kendall. He dug his own grave.

    Gross's lack of range shows it's ugly face again.

    I got my Friday 5 pack today and I'm looking forward to seeing some badger hockey. I also am driving up to Grand Forks at the end of the month to watch the UND series. It should be cool to see The Ralph. I hear it's crazy up there.

    Thanks. It seems a lot cheaper right now to get a flight to Arizona and hotel than it was last year. Last year, flight and hotel was well over $700 and this year I've seen it in the $500 range, but I'm sure that will go up. I'd like to see the actual schedule first though before I book so I can see what games I'm going to so I will wait I think.
  10. TuesdaysWithRillo
    Does anybody know when they release the schedule for Spring Training 2009? I am looking into booking flight and hotel and would like to get to go to at least one night game. I didn't see a schedule on the Brewers website. Thanks. --------------------------- This thread has been added to the Designated Threads List. --1992 ---------------------------

    I don't think Nelson will be DFA'd. If anything, he will be traded, but if he isn't, he will at least be a LH bat on the bench. If we trade Prince, he could be our opening day 2009 1B.
  12. TuesdaysWithRillo
    I wouldn't. 2 more years of Bush is just fine. Then let some other team overpay for Suppan 2.0.
  13. TuesdaysWithRillo
    Rickie Weeks = Delmon Young. Lots of potential, but hasn't even come close to it yet. Do the Brewers want to stay with Weeks and see if he can fill out the potential? I'm not sure, but I think I would stick with him for one more year.
  14. TuesdaysWithRillo
    Nelson is out of options so he would either have to start with the team in 2009 or be gone.
  15. TuesdaysWithRillo
    Pitching was great for the Blue Jays this offseason. They need some better bats in the lineup. Lyle Overbay is just not cutting it at 1B for them. He just doesn't put up a high enough OPS. They could sure use Prince Fielder. We'll give him for some young pitching and/or Roy Halladay.
  16. TuesdaysWithRillo
    I wonder if they resign Randy Wolf. It seemed like kind of a waste to acquire him unless they were going to lock him up long term.
  17. TuesdaysWithRillo
    His nature is to be aggressive since he's been a 3 hole hitter his whole career before coming to the Bigs. He's taking more pitches now being in the leadoff spot and we are taking him out of his nature which is to be aggressive. Weeks just isn't a good fit in the leadoff spot.
  18. TuesdaysWithRillo
    It's not that striking out is that bad, but the fact is that Weeks is too aggressive of a hitter to be in the leadoff role. He's not the kind of hitter that tries to find anyway to get on base. I'd rather have Weeks down in the order so he can swing away more and use his power.
  19. TuesdaysWithRillo
    So you're saying Weeks is a good leadoff hitter?
  20. TuesdaysWithRillo
    Ah, yes. The question of 2009. Who will leadoff for the Brewers? Well they really have no good options. Weeks needs to swing away more and strikes out too much to leadoff. Hart's OBP sucks. Nobody really makes sense except Escobar if he could sustain a .340 OBP because that's where his contact bat would make the most sense in the lineup. So if Escobar is good enough to get that kind of an OBP, then sign me up. Otherwise, who the hell knows.
  21. TuesdaysWithRillo
    He did do well in his small sample and maybe a change of scenery is what he needed, but I wouldn't rely on Coffey to be one of our top relievers throughout the year. He'll be a nice 7th inning guy though to mix and match with a LHP.
  22. TuesdaysWithRillo
    I wouldn't mind Brad Nelson as my opening day 2009 1B. Especially if we got top shelf pitching from another team for Prince. How is Brad Nelson's defense at 1B?
  23. TuesdaysWithRillo
    I think that's pretty pathetic that people would watch a regular season NFL game over an MLB playoff game, but hey, people can do what they want.
  24. TuesdaysWithRillo
    Yeah hitters gave up power back in Spahn's age to make more contact, but these days it has been accepted that it's ok to strike out and be more aggressive because it results in more power numbers. There's no way you can say Spahn wasn't a strikeout pitcher. It does show it's really hard to compare between the 2 ages and that in today's age, you have to preserve your young arms because if you don't, they will probably turn into Mark Prior. Would people with a good sense of the history of the game think that Koufax was abused because he ended his career a bit early. Do you think in today's age if his arm was preserved, he would have had a longer career?
  25. TuesdaysWithRillo
    Maybe if the Dodgers sign C.C. they'd give us Billingsley in a trade. I'd be jumping for joy if that happned. Billingsley is an ace in the making.
