  1. Down to their last strike, I can't get over how quiet that stadium was.
  2. A night full of home runs by the Brewers and errors by the Cubs would be spectacular. It's REAL quiet in that stadium now.
  3. Mitchell? He hasn't even started a rehab assignment yet.
  4. Didn't want this to get buried in an archived IGT, but was there an Air Force fuel tanker and two fighter jets flyover during God Bless America at Sunday's game? I didn't see it on the replay. I was walking from Lion's Tail brewing to Joy Ice Cream in Wauwatosa Sunday mid/late afternoon when I heard something approaching and saw the tanker and fighters fly relatively low just to the east. I met my family for a belated birthday and we got takeout from Rocky Rococco's, took it to Lion's Tail brewing, and then went to Joy Ice Cream. Pizza, beer, ice cream, and an air force flyover for my birthday - that's not bugging me.
  5. One thing to keep in mind is that the 53 they have right after cuts is rarely the 53 they have on gameday week 1. They've historically initially kept the players they felt like they are most likely to lose in waivers, and at times that has made some positions overly deep or thin after cuts (one year didn't they not keep a LS?). It's a little easier sneaking guys on the practice squad after other teams have set their 53. Expect some changes after cuts are made. I think Tenuta and Nichols get IR'd. 50/50 on Wilson; the funny thing about RBs is that expensive RBs aren't valuable, but cheap RBs are.
  6. A writer on another website referred to him as "Sasquatch". I like it.
  7. And the home plate umpire had to stop carrying baseballs in his side pouch because they were getting too sweaty. Bill Schroeder said that he has never seen that before. And he's seen a helluva lot of baseball games.
  8. Want - Black, Lauer Think - Miller, Lauer Lauer is striking out 13.9/9 at Nashville, and they only need him to be a 1-3 IP reliever, not a starter, so I go with the strikeout rate. Gasser's K rate is 11.1.
  9. That's why he's in AAA. But that's good enough to be the lefty in the bullpen that they need right now given Chafin's performance.
  10. On a day when the temperature was 100 degrees and the dew point 80 and everyone was sweating so much that it was hard to get a good grip on the ball? Yep, damn sure.
  11. Wonder if he was thinking Listach
  12. If Burnes and Woodruff pitched against Atlanta and LA, the runs scored sure as hell wouldn't have been 73-43.
  13. Look what happened with his older brother. Drafted by the Vikings in the 5th round, they got impatient during his rookie camp and released him, signed by the Raiders and was 1st Team All-Pro last year, 2nd team the year before. Cautionary tale about getting impatient with rookie kickers.
  14. QB(2): Love, Clifford (PS - McGough) RB(3): Jones, Dillon, Wilson (PS - Nichols, Taylor) FB(1): Deguara TE(3): Musgrave, Kraft, Allen (PS - waiver pickup) OL(9): Bakh, Jenkins, Myers, Runyan, Tom, Nijman, Rhyan, Walker, Jones (PS - Tenuta, Empey, Telfort) WR(6): Watson, Doubs, Reed, Toure, Wicks, Heath (PS - Dubose, Bonds) DL(6): Clark, Wyatt, Slaton, Wooden, Brooks, Ford (PS - Slayton) Edge(5): Gary, LVN, Smith, Enagbare, Hollins (PS - Cox, Mosby) LB(5): Campbell, Walker, McDuffie, Wilson, Carpenter (PS - Phillips) CB(5): Alexander, Douglas, Nixon, Valentine, Ballentine, Stokes - PUP (PS - Thomas, SJC) CB/S(1): Gaines S(4): Savage, Ford, Johnson, Leavitt (PS - waiver pickup) Special teams (3): Carlson, O'Donnell, Ozrich Last 2 in: Carpenter, Gaines First 2 out: Newman, Cox Center/guard depth is short, but Tom can move to C/G if needed. Tenuta could go on IR, in which case they sign a guard off of the waiver wire to the PS. Walker could probably play guard in an emergency too. Real chance that they trade Nijman, in which case they keep Newman.
  15. Hanson was waived/injured; he isn't making the roster. Jones is back practicing, so he's OK. Tenuta is still on the injured list and not practicing. Heath was getting some reps with the 1's today. A good sign that he's making the final 53.
  16. Grichuk has a 491 OPS since acquired, Cron 563 OPS and is on the IL. Through 26 PAs, Schanuel has a .538 OBP. Not OPS - OBP.
  17. Strasburg game score: 75 Woodard game score: 91 Clemens' game score, pitching opposite of Woodard, was also higher than Strasburg's (79).
  18. I don't see a TE on the waiver wire making it on the 53. Unlikely that any will be better or know the system better than Allen. They'll sign a couple to the practice squad as a priority. There just aren't many good ones out there period, much less good ones who will be waived by another team. I still wonder if Walker playing over Nijman is because they think he's better or because they know what they have in Nijman and want to see what they have in Walker. I don't see Telford or Tenuta making it. They have enough tackles in Bakh, Tom, Nijman, Walker, and Jones. Tenuta's injury was described as "long term", so I think they put him on waived/injured and sign him to the practice squad. With the injury, unlikely anyone keeps him on their 53. Wilson is forcing their hand. If he makes it, then Carpenter/Leavitt likely both make it because of special teams. I would put Wilson, Carpenter, Gaines, and Cox ahead of a 10th OL. My guess is Gaines/Cox are 53/54.
  19. Really want to see what an offseason in the lab can do for him. The best thing he can do is increase his strike % on the CB so that hitters don't sit on the FB. He's only given up one HR as a Brewer this year. Only Uribe (17.2 IP, 0 HR) has a lower rate than his 0.4/9 innings.
  20. Dodgers are only 4.5 games back for #1 overall seed. Braves could easily have something to play for.
  21. And that includes a stretch of 10 games against the Cardinals and the White Sox where they went 8-2 against two teams that are 55-72 and 49-77. Excluding those two bad teams, they are 19-16 since the beginning of July.
  22. Since the beginning of July, the Cubs are 27-18. The Brewers are 26-18. The Cubs have gained 0.5 games over their last 45 games.
  23. That, and proximity. He's likely an emergency option in case of injuries at this point, so have him as close to MKE as possible.
  24. I would also offer a gift in exchange - something that you will offer to do for them, a baked good, a fresh-caught fish or hunted animal cooked up. Reciprocity works well in marketing and nudging people towards a desired behavior.
  25. The issue with Megill is being able to command an offspeed pitch. Doesn't throw his slider/curve for strikes often enough. Hitters then sit on the fastball. Need to get him in the lab this offseason.
