    http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/columns/story?columnist=stark_jayson&page=rumblings&lpos=spotlight&lid=tab2pos1 I think it's a no brainer. Correct me if I'm wrong because I'm not sure if I understand this whole Waiver Trade thing to the most detail, but the worst possible thing that could happen is we actually wind up with Fuentes. I see no problem with that. Heck, I'd even trade for the guy. We could use him as our closer or in the 8th inning depending on how Yost wants to use him. I know it would add payroll to Attanasio's supposed "Net Loss" this year (Which for the record, I don't believe because I work in the investment world and see how people hide money for tax purposes), but I think blocking Fuentes from going to the Cardinals makes complete sense.

    At least we took 2 out of 3 games at minimum unless we get lucky in the 9th. That's not so bad for a West Coast Road Trip Series.

    Does anybody else notice that Gameday has been wrong quite a bit in this game? They have had to correct wrong plays at least 4-5 times for me. I think they do that on purpose to make you pay for MLB TV. I took the middle road and went MLB Audio. I hate being at work during Brewer games.

    I wish it would have.

    Last time I checked, I was 24 years old with a college degree and I enjoy the Journal Sentinal. Also, I believe Tom Handricourt has at least a journalism degree from a college or university so I doubt his writing is at a 4th grade level. I could be wrong though. That is correct. He probably didnt handle himself correctly here, but he is human and I'll give him a pass for this one. Everyone makes mistakes and he didn't make it in his newspaper so that prompts me to give him a pass. Blogs are different story than newspapers.
  6. TuesdaysWithRillo
    I listen to Handricourt once in a while on Homer True's show and I think he does a fine job. Is this really a big deal? It's just a blog. He didn't do this in the newspaper or anything.

    Here's what I know: When I pick up my Journal Sentinal Newspaper every morning and read it on my bus ride to downtown Milwaukee, it provides quality coverage of the Milwaukee Brewers. Here's what I don't care about: How TH responds to some nonsense post on his blog. You are free to speak your mind in this country, right?

    I wouldn't take for granted that the Cubs make it to the NLCS. That team to the South about 90 miles has been known to choke here and there. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/laugh.gif

    I know we don't have any time frame at all released yet, but what do you guys think about this? Could he be back in the pen by mid September if he has no set backs? How long does it take for a pitcher to be ready after being able to throw from the mound? I am wondering if we can come up with a good guess as to when he could be back barring no set backs.
  10. TuesdaysWithRillo
    Great Article. It has definitely been surreal that we obtained C.C. and I'm enjoying every moment of it while we have him.
  11. TuesdaysWithRillo
    I'd like to go on record saying that I am in favor of Cameron starting over Gwynn in CF even though I was ok with Counsell getting a few starts at 3B because I know I am the one you are making fun of by saying that. It's great to have power in the lineup, but it doesn't hurt to have some contact hitters mixed in. Calling up Nix is a lateral move that shouldn't be much of a factor in how the team does from here on out.
  12. TuesdaysWithRillo
    I don't mean to open up Pandora's Box here, but Parra does have an innings limit whether we like it or not. I wouldn't consider 170 innings a hard number, but Brewer management is going to want him healthy for 2009. We are already losing 2 pitchers for sure from the rotation in 2009, and we don't need to lose another one due to mishandling of a pitcher. I am all for pitching Parra if the time calls for it and it's needed for us to get into the playoffs, but if we could skip a start or 2 in there, I wouldn't call it a bad move. Parra is at 132 innngs right now. I believe I counted 9 Parra starts in those equations and assuming he goes 6 innings per start, that's 54 innings which would put him at 186 innings. That number could be potentially higher if he goes deeper into games. I will be curious to see how Brewers management handles this. Since it's been 26 years since we've been in the Postseason, I'm guessing they will ride him out and make a gamble, but it could be a costly one.

    I wonder if this opinion still exists. I don't think that would have been smart Yost was right. This wasn't a big deal. Just some food for thought.
  14. TuesdaysWithRillo
    I agree. All we have to do against St. Louis is take 1 out of those 2 games and no ground is gained upon us. Winning both would be nice, but 1 out of 2 avoids the disaster and we can do that without Sheets and C.C. Keeping them on normal routine is imperative in my opinion. When you start messing with routine, that's when bad things happen.
  15. TuesdaysWithRillo
    After all of this hoopla discussion today about Counsell at 3B, let me point out how sad our situation is at 3B right now if I had to waste a day of my life defending Craig Counsell getting 2 weeks worth of starts at 3B. Dear Gamel, Please stick at 3B. Sincerely, Your Tuesday Friend.

    Quote from Bill Schroeder tonight: "In a lineup where you have a lot of guys that strike out and hit a lot of home runs, you need to have some contact hitters, and Counsell and Kendall fit that bill" Apparently I'm not crazy.
  18. TuesdaysWithRillo
    But in my opinion, that's exactly what's happening. He's getting some extended playing time before the stretch run. I will be in the same boat as you if Counsell is still playing everyday in September. That would be silly.
  19. TuesdaysWithRillo
    I was referring to if it got to the point where the minor league season was over. If he was healthy enough to pitch before the minor league season ends then all systems go.
  20. TuesdaysWithRillo
    Does that mean Clay Buccholz lost his spot in the rotation?
  21. TuesdaysWithRillo
    No. I think we should put Craig Counsell in LF just to see the reaction of bf.net. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/tongue.gif

    Yes, indeed. I was thinking of that Tao guy. I'll stick with the Brewers here instead of weird philosophy that Toby tries to use all the time. When Branyan is back in the lineup within the next few games you can all breathe again and we can all say that putting Counsell in the lineup didn't kill us as bad as everyone is saying. I'm done beating the dead horse. Anything I can do to brighten your Tuesday. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/laugh.gif
  24. TuesdaysWithRillo
    As I previously stated in this thread, I did say I would rather have Branyan at 3B over Counsell. Check it out. I'm just telling you it's not all that bad to have Counsell in there for 2 lousy weeks. This is my quote from earlier in the thread for good measure.

    I'm pretty sure the socratic method is Chinese philosophy. I could be mistaken though. I fell asleep in philosophy class in college quite often.
