Yeah he was safe, but a throw that beats a player that badly will get the out 90% of the time. At worst you could have gotten Sheets to the plate this inning.
Well they need him past this year. I know people like to pretend that the Brewers are suddenly going to find another arm thats #1 caliber for $5 m a year, but it isn't going to happen. You have Bush at $5 m or next years Suppan at $11 m for four years. Again, I doubt he can get optioned down because my guess is as soon as the Brewers try, Bush files a complaint and gets placed on the DL.
Seriosuly, in no sense is Weeks a bust. Krynzel, ok, Weeks no. Not aure how an average start at age 24 is a bust, but hey he doesn't play like an All Star , he must suck.
From FJM we learn that the Sox still think they did good in the Carlos Lee trade. Williams signed Pierzynski, traded away selfish, all-or-nothing hitters such as Carlos Lee Suntimes
I keep forgetting to add this. My two basic rubs: Sweet: 2 C Brown Sugar 1 T Paprika 2 T Chili Powder 2 T Seasoned Salt 1 T Garlic Salt 2 T Lemon Pepper Spicy: 1/4 C Paprika 1 T Brown Sugar 2 t Cayenne Pepper 2 t Cinnamon 2 t Mustard Powder 1 t Garlic Powder 1 t Onion Powder 1 t Salt Now the Spicy isn't really hot, more pungent. Think the background spice on really good fried chicken. To up the heat on either just add in cayenne pepper. Keep in mind that brown sugar and paprika will burn easily so only for indirect grilling. I use the first one often for baby back ribs and both on chicken.
Yes if he hits like 2003 or 2004 it'd be great. But 2000-2002 and 2005-2007 it wouldn't. And we still have to deal with the fact he's a huge DP candidate. Cameron will likely have a .340-350 OBP but with power in the 450 range. 60 points of SLG outweighs 10-20 points of OBP.
So Yost shouldn't be smart because he might get criticized anyway? It wasn't just a hit, it was a home run. Followed by a double. For three hits in a row with Villanueva missing high.
Patterson made the statement he always makes, he'll hit for power occasionally and then follow that up with a bunch of weak grounders to 2B. As for teh OF, Cincy's defense stinks on high
I really expect Bush to go on the DL when Yovani comes back. People act like the last two starts are how Bush normally pitches. They are far from it. It usually has great control and has higher velocity. His curve ball is usually in the low 70s, not the mid 60s, his fastball between 88 and 92 not topping out at 87. And its isn't Bush's fault that in two games with two golden opportunities Yost has yet to get Shouse to face Adam Dunn even though the game was on the line both times.
