  1. Wait Lee made contact--everybody tells me that just making contact is all thats needed to score from 3B....
  2. The bunt makers sense if Overbay could bunt... At least they finally took the bunt off with 2 strikes
  3. Davis is pitchign well which tends to signal the Brewers have no chance.
  4. But this way Darron can take the weekend to do Angels games!
  5. You could trun on WGN to hear the Sox annoucers talk about how they are better than Boston even though they are being shut out by Wakefield and Garland gave up 4.
  6. Except it doesn't show that at all. Branyan 2002-2004 with man on 3rd<2: .281 .362 .688 1.050 2005: .250 .455 .625 1.080 But hey--keep pretending! What it does show is that pitchers fear Branyan in that situation. In 51 PAs, he has walked 11 times.
  7. My biggest problem with the whole productive out thing is that people seem to treat them as something players should be always able to do unlike every other skill in baseball. Complaining that they didn't move the runner over is like complaining they didn't hit a home run. If the pitcher knows you are trying to move the runner over to third and you're left handed, chances are you'll see alot of pitches away that when you try to pull you hit to short. Or you'll see a bunch of inside pitches that you can't catch up to if you're right handed. If a man's on third the pitcher may go with high fastballs to keep you from getting somethign to lift. Players don't have this ability to flip a switch that always leads to a "successful" out.
  8. Hoffy don't look now but the Brewers are a big home run team. Tied for fourth at 128 with third belonging to the BOB assisted DBacks at 132.
  9. And if the bullpen was used properly it would be great. For example: pitches 1-15: .170&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp .243&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp .277&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp .520 pitches: 16-30: .319&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp .377&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp .681&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp 1.058 Look Santana can't pitch longer than an inning! But this is the same braintrust that throws Magruder out there to bat against righties. They wouldn't send out a lefty to face a lefty reliever so why send out Magruder to face a righty?
  10. There are a great deal done with pitching stats. K rate, walk rate and HR rate are teh big three that allow you to project pitching the best. Defense is another matter.
  11. Yes we're supposed to believe that Tony "pulls pitcher depending on wind direction" LaRussa is tealling the truth here and not covering for his bud Yost.
  12. You want to see why Ben hitting for himself was a bad decision? Check the WP graph. Ben's AB basically negated his pitching.
  13. The bullpen is fine. The fact that Turnbow blew on save over a two month period is your reasoning the bullpen is bad shows that you really aren't paying attention.
  14. Yeah just because Matt Wise has pitched as well as Ben Sheets this year and Turnbow is unhittable why would you go to the bullpen?
  15. Just to throw everything off topic--anyone want to know what was on FSN today instead of the game? The replay of last night's game.
  16. Why is it so hard to understand that the reason that Magruder was not the correct choice isn't because he failed, but because he had the least cahcne of success? Even if Magruder got a hit, it still would have been a bad choice. The fact that they still allow Magruder to switch hit says more about this coaching staff than anything else. And if you think 11 ABs proves anything, please. And just putting the ball in play with the bases loaded is not a good thing.
  17. Yes lets save Branyan for late in the game so LaRussa can bring in a lefty to face him!
  18. Can someone explain to Ned that it is very easy to find Magruder's splits and to see he doesn't even reach .200 from the left side? Durrington is a better option than Magruder from the left side.
  19. Hey Bill just said walking the middle of the order is bad. Maybe he'll remember that next time he calls for the Brewers to pitch around Puljos.
  20. As to a Brewer cable network, after the beating the Twins took at the hands of FSN I don't know if it could happen.
  21. Can't believe they left Floyd on the bench there.
  22. Will Beltran be lifted for Floyd?
