    Not a college basketball fan really, but this Gonzaga v Davidson game is very well played so far. At half it's 41-36 Gonzaga. Should be a good second half.

    I know his wrist was giving him problems the whole year. ( The last series of the year he said in a post game interview he still can't swing the bat as hard as he would like) I just can't buy that it got that much better in the six days that he was down there. It had to be some combination of mental and physical problems dogging him in June and July.
  3. Gobias Industries
    It was a combination of both being sent down to work on his approach and swing, and the scar tissue breaking up. He probably would have never had the late season he did if he didn't get sent down. It allowed him to relax and work out his struggles in a low pressure situation. On another note, I'd be tempted to do this trade. It would really improve the infield D and we know what we are going to get with Roberts. Weeks IMO, is probably gonna really break out, or bust.

    I love it. Each of his quotes are funnier than the one before it.
  5. Gobias Industries
    Yes, I know. I was just saying how I understand his argument and what he meant by his post, but I'm not so sure I agree that Counsell and Weeks situation is the result of a small sample size.

    Apple. Paltrow and Coldplay leadsinger's kid. Who knows what sex the kid is. 30 Rock had a little dig against it season 1 that was pretty funny.

    I respect your baseball opinion GREATLY rluz, but we know what Counsell is. He's obvously in somewhat of a groove and has obviously gotten very lucky in his very limited at-bats this Spring. The thing with Weeks though is that he isn't getting unlucky because hits are just not falling in for him. (Maybe one or two balls he actually put in play could have went the other way) His timing is way off and he looks eerily similar to Rickie Weeks circa July 2007. If he doesn't show some life before opening day, I can't help but be worried. Of course he's not gonna hit .120 over a full season. But because of injuries, we really don't know what we have in Weeks. With the drastic peaks and valleys he has had as a major leaguer, I have no idea what to expect.

    That report eased my mind a little bit that his struggle was not really a struggle but more of a training tool for him to get ready for the season. Watching the game yesterday though, I'm not so sure. Felix got ahead of him in the first at-bat and then drilled him in the elbow on 0-2. Putting the result aside, I think it's safe to say that the at-bat wasn't going in a positive direction The second at bat started off 1-0, fouled off the second pitch, and missed the third and fourth by a mile. I didn't even watch the third at bat but it says it ended in yet another K. He was taking the pitches right down the middle and swinging at the stuff out of the zone from what I saw.
  9. Gobias Industries
    Pedro- It's awesome that you do this. I'd love to have the Weeks autographed baseball.
  10. Gobias Industries
    Count me in.
  11. Gobias Industries
    That is really good to hear. Makes a lot more sense to why he's striking out so much.
  12. Gobias Industries
    Rluzinski- I wish I could be as positive and patient as you but I've never seen a player struggle so bad in Spring Training when it's the norm for the pitchers to be the rusty ones. Yeah Prince and Braun are working on specific areas of their approach but they are still somewhat succeding at being productive. Weeks is lucky to make contact in an at-bat or let alone get on-base. Whatever the hell he's working on out there better stop come opening day. As a huge Weeks fan this spring has been very disheartening.
  13. Gobias Industries
    I'm assuming the writer thinks that certain pitchers can only close games otherwise they lose their "edge". Using his logic, Gagne should be fine for us this year because he will only get save opportunities. Doesn't make much sense.
  14. Gobias Industries
    We have a ton of arms that should be anywhere from average to very good. At the very least we shouldn't have to see a Spurling this year, which is awesome. We've never had the kind of depth we currently do between the big league club and Nashville. Few things that need to go right for us to be a top 5 MLB bullpen IMO: - Hopefully Torres can revert more to his 04-06 seasons than his off year in 07. - I just looked at Mota's stats from last year and it looks like he had his 2nd best K:BB ratio, only trailing his phenomenal 2003 season. I'm guessing what killed him was the 8 HR's he gave up in a limited season (59 IP). - If Turnbow is used right he should be fine. But that's a big if with Ned at the helm. Hopefully Simmons knows better and Ned takes his advice.

    This TB-NYY feud has been building up for a few years. I first heard about the "brawl" on the web and then checked the highlights and was highly dissapointed. Shelly Duncan is a big, ugly dude who is impossible to tackle. I don't blame Gomes for doing what he did, but I hardly consider that a brawl. Nolan Ryan beating the crap out of Ventura was a "brawl". As a Brewer fan I think we are pretty likely to see something this year. Prince seems like a timebomb when you combine how insane he would get after every HBP last year and his early attitude this Spring. Maybe we're lucky and we'll get to see Yost and LaRussa square off. Yost and Svuem were getting pretty riled up over Tony last year.
  16. Gobias Industries
    That's a good guess. She's been with a player from just about every team except the Brewers.
  17. Gobias Industries
    Hmm. Last I knew she was with Romo. YostInfection makes it seem like everyone here would know her. How bout Erin Andrews. That'd be pretty legendary.
  18. Gobias Industries
    Sounds a lot like fibromyalgia. My mom and I both suffer from it. When it's mild you can still work out a few times a week, but definitely not on consecutive days. Baseball would definitely be impossible. No wonder he was so injury prone the last few years.
  19. Gobias Industries
    I'd take Braun's swagger/cockiness over Prince's recent behavior any day of the week.
  20. Gobias Industries
    I'm on board with being very patient at the plate. When Weeks has a runner on though, he tends to let the best pitch in the at bat go by; first pitch fastball right down the heart of the plate. I'm sure opposing managers/scouts have the knowledge that he's prone to taking the first pitch in almost every one of his at bats, and are able to get ahead of him a majority of the time. Not to get too off-topic, but while watching the playoffs this last year, I noticed truly great hitters like Manny and Ortiz do this almost everytime, especially Manny. Runner(s) in scoring position; Manny was swinging first pitch fastball everytime. If he didn't crush that pitch, he would get down in the count because he would sometimes foul it off. But being the great hitter he is, he would then work the count full or in his favor and then take the walk or finally get another pitch to hit which he would then crush. To a lesser degree, Braun and Fielder did this last year too. Weeks is too good of a hitter to let that pitch go by, especially being a great fastball hitter.
  21. Gobias Industries
    He said these exact words in a McCalvy article this spring. He could care less how he gets on. It wouldn't hurt him to be a little less patient at the plate when he's not leading off an inning, kind of like how Braun goes up there and swings at that first pitch a lot if he likes it. When Rickie gets his pitch he crushes it, which we saw in August and September. None of those homers the last two months were cheap. Rickie will be fine. He's probably gonna fall short of the really optimistic people on this site and Keith Law who predicted something along the lines of .400/.500 for him this year. I just don't think he'll have that high of a slugging percentage. On-base is definitely achievable which is the main thing for this team IMO.
  22. Gobias Industries
    That's why I thought there was a pretty decent chance it was a serious piece. After seeing the MSNBC piece that FJM picked apart, it sure wouldn't have surprised me. Also didn't know that Page 2 is all pretty much comedic writings. The only writer I've ever read from there was Simmons.
  23. Gobias Industries
    I didn't see this posted yet. We should really have a designated "Hatred of Moneyball" thread. It continues to amaze me that this stuff gets put on major websites. I've never heard of this writer. Maybe the whole thing is a joke by Rob Neyer writing under a made-up name. http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story?page=garfamudis/080305

    Anchorman Waiting for Guffman The Big Lebowski I tend to think dark comedies are actually funnier a lot of the time. Coen Brothers and Paul Thomas Anderson type of movies I guess.
  25. Gobias Industries
    Appreciate the report molitor fan. Nice to get info from someone who actually saw each player perform, instead of relying on box scores to see how everyone's doing. Great to hear about Braun. I was thinking he was due for a dip in his .OPS this year, but let's be honest, he's a really special player that will probably continue to get better and better. Is Braun working the count better, or is he still swinging at the first pitch a lot like last season? Not that it really matters as it works for him, but he could have a lot better walk rate if he showed more patience.
