Ah, I see. The chart makes it look like those are all series probabilities... I understand now that 63.6% is the prob. of one game. Despite the influence of pitching matchups it does give you a nice raw look at the outcome of the game. Here's to Aquino comin through for the crew tonight!
pick me, pick me... A drawing for free Club level seats are pretty awesome....and so is Pedro. http://i204.photobucket.com/albums/bb13/kpanz20/pedro.jpg
I don't think Melvin will make a trade based on what TGJ does in the coming weeks. I would hope they evaluate talent in a much better way then "well lets see how he does in the next couple series, and if he sucks lets see if someone will deal for him". Theres no way that just the next few weeks actually determines his long term future with the club.
Russ - I was hoping you could clarify something for me on your probability chart... You have the Brewers series win probability listed at 63.6% Then you have the probability of a sweep at 25.7% and winning 2 games at 44.2%. So the probability of a sweep or winning 2 games = 69.9%. What I don't get is why there is a higher probability (69.9%) that the Brewers win at least 2 games then if they win the series (63.6%)? Shouldn't those 2 numbers be the same?
Villanueva went 1 inning yesterday and 22 pitches. Gallardo went 2.2 innings and 54 pitches 3 days ago. I'm sure Yo is available but not the first option if Bush gets in trouble. Btw... Matt Wise has given up only 1 earned run in his last 8 appearences and is currently sporting a very nice 2.92 era.
I doubt Yost will mess with the current top 4. I could see him putting Estrada back in the 5-hole, or maybe Jenkins against righties. I don't think Gwynn will even start in the Nats series...I feel like Gross will get the majority of the bat and that Gwynn's there for insurance. The next 2 games of the series start righties.. and I bet Jenks and Gross start. It'll be interesting though to see how Jenkins or the combination of Jenkins/Gross/Gwynn performs against the lefty tonight. There will have the be a lefty/lefty matchup tonight for one of the OF spots.
I find it funny that with all the comments so far on possible options there is not really any mention of Kevin Mench. I mean isn't that why we have him in the first place? Isn't that why one of their strengths as a team is outfield depth? Yeah he has much better numbers vs. lefthanded pitching.but when he was playing everyday in Texas he was a solidly productive player. I'm not in love with Mench or anything but if people are looking to acquire an outfielder and lets say he was still on the Rangers...they'd say a guy with 25/26 home runs 2 years in a row would be a pretty good option.
Thanks guys... Dodger Stadium doesn't sound to great but I'd still like to go just to see what it looks like and all that. That sucks...wisconsin is great. I think I may take in an Angels game as well. I gotta tell ya, I'm not stoked about any of the prices in LA for drinks and food. I'm sure the bars and stuff will be just as bad as the 10 bucks for a beer and 6 for a dog at the stadium like you said. I think I may be getting a Russell Martin bobblehead on the day I'll probably go to the Dodger game... I'll sell that to help pick up the cost.
