I think the playbook was found on that white roll of paper in the bathroom.

They will lose any draft picks as punishment for the Gary Trent Jr. debacle. What the heck?

I don't know how the Mariners could package to a more experienced person?

Maybe Woody? We were thinking that might have been an option, too. A very slim option, though.

R - E - L - A - X The hit a lot of popups. A lot more than usual. I think the hitters got away from the left-center to right-center approach. Get a good night's rest and come back out tomorrow ready to go. Get a 6 run lead late, let Harrison come in to pitch 2 and have Megill finish it out.

Why was the game against Western Michigan an exhibition?

It is May Day!!!!!!!

If someone wants to copy the Brewers' "Moneyball 2.0" style, it will take time. One of the core tenants is building up the minors and developing from within. Sprinkle in a few veterans to help. Also throughout this entire process, Pitching has been a top priority. Start on the bump with starters and the bullpen. I have a feeling a lot of fan bases will try to get the talented free agent and expect an immediate turnaround. That may or may not work. Moneyball 2.0 is a process.

I believe Drohan and Harrison are the only two not to have pitched in the WS. I would hope Murphy would get both of them in with Megill to close it out.

Looks like 8:00PM Eastern:

With two outs in the top of the 9th, Frelick was also running hard around second base on a short fly ball to center field. I would want him on my team every time. Clubhouse Coefficient +100...

How could the Brewers match the Devin Harris to Alando Tucker alley-oop at the end of the game? Maybe a snowman in the top of the 9th after being up 10 runs? 😉

I have a strange feeling that the numbers will be low for Game 4 after how the Brewers dismantled the Rays.

Note to self -- I have not posted on an IGT, nor have I read any comments until after the game is over. Do not participate in the IGT tomorrow, either. LET'S FREAKING GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pay Contreras. 5 years, $90M He is not only (one of the) the best hitting Catcher(s) in the game overall, he has also shown how he can work with the pitching staff. The way he started calling the sweeper in the first inning for Gasser to have Gasser level set was amazing. His interactions with the players and even with the umpires has shown during the Postseason.
