Since the entire scenario is based on this: I'd have to argue against this:

The Value of a Great Closer vs a Starter or Position Player
dlk9s replied to 3and2Fastball's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
You are WAY too hung up on postseason performance. Every time you talk about a player, it seems like you bring up their playoff numbers, even if it was only one series. For one game, I'd go SP >>>>>>> position player >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Closer For a season, I'd go Position Player >>> SP >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Closer You don't need a great closer. You just need someone who is adequate. A mediocre closer is more than capable of protecting a lead for one inning, especially when a lot of those leads are greater than one run. The Brewers' problem is that every relief pitcher they have is awful. Additionally, the closer's role is dependent on the SP and position players actually handing him a lead in the 9th, and a narrow lead at that. -
1) Easter Sunday 2) Yount's 3000th hit 3) Molitor's 38th game of the hitting streak 4 & 5) A couple McGwire/Sosa games during their HR battle. Would've had the Vina/Belle forearm shiver game in there, but my aunt and uncle wanted to leave early and they were my ride, so I missed it.

I've tried to root for tanking, but I can't. I want the Brewers to win. All the time.

You know the game is going well when Cesar Izturis is a triple away from hitting for the cycle.
-
Ryan Braun is totally on my laminated list.

"...that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."

[sarcasm]So the Braves DID get that top of the rotation SP that they coveted![/sarcasm]

I figure it's waywaywaywayway more the fault of the pitchers than the coach. I mean, if we're going to blame Kranitz for the failures of the bullpen, why wouldn't we praise him for the success of the starters the last couple years? And the success of the bullpen last year?

I'd have to watch the AB again to check, but wasn't the fastball up and in? I thought I remembered Morse getting jammed AND swinging late, yet somehow muscling it over the fence. That was a heck of a hard luck homer.
-
So Rogers goes 5 2/3 and gives up 2 runs. Naturally, the Brewers lose 11-10.

As Greinke said, it's a good group of guys. That's how professionals are supposed to act. I was actually going to so that, too, but for whatever reason I didn't.

I've said it before, but I really appreciate that this team still plays hard, despite the lack of success this year.

Oh, that's complete horsecrap, umps. Timeout so the Nats can argue? http://i.imgur.com/KPzH4.gif

Harper has been sick, so he could still be feeling a little weak or rusty. Rogers has hung a few curves today, but as Smoltz said, because the hitters have to respect his fastball, he's gotten away with some hangers. From the few innings I've watched, the Nats have definitely been behind or fooled by a number of fastballs. If Rogers can just gain a little command, he has a chance to be very good.

It's the free game on MLB.tv, too - the picture quality there is usually really good. This is nice. I'm on vacation in Hilton Head, taking a break while the kids have a nap, and get to watch the Brewers!

Now that we moved Zack will there be anyone else?
dlk9s replied to brewmann04's topic in Transaction Rumors & Proposals
It takes everything I can to hold in my rage when I read about the desire to "resign" someone. -
TH just tweeted that Mark Rogers was pulled from his scheduled start tonight and is speculating he's being called up.
-
I was thinking the same thing. On a player-for-player basis, the trades basically cancel each other out, plus we got Greinke for a while. Obviously, we'll have to see if the players pan out, but hey, not a bad job at all by DM today.

Just looking at the BA pre-season rankings, we got their two top minor league pitchers (the other two were Richards who is already in MLB and Tillman, who is down to high-A) and their top minor league prospect, period (only Trout was ranked higher). http://img373.imageshack.us/img373/215/applauseqk0.gif
