Roster construction problems with this team
dlk9s replied to adambr2's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
If he's a really good 7th inning guy, then he's likely a really good relief pitcher. A really good relief pitcher probably doesn't come cheap, or at least cheap enough for the Brewers. -
Deep Down, what are your thoughts about Gamel?
dlk9s replied to RobDeer 45's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
The subject line of this thread cracks me up. First, "Deep Down" is capitalized, which I just find funny. Second, I feel like it's asking me to reveal some dark, secret, repressed feelings about Gamel that I was previously too embarrassed to share. -

http://i.imgur.com/tWp8Z.gif One of the big reasons a team has more than eight position players is so that there is a replacement if one of the starters gets hurt. Ishikawa is a backup. Gamel got hurt. Thus, Ishikawa gets to play. He's not the regular starter. He's a backup. -
Well, that's a shame. Neither base hit was a bad pitch. Both low-outside that the batter was able to fight off the opposite way.
-
Those were the first times the Astros' 2-3-4 hitters have not reached base today. Well done, Tim Kurkjian.
-
I wish Schafer would bat every time. Marcum has totally fooled him each time up.
-
That's a pretty big club. But you have to be concerned with the short starts. The bullpen has been shaky already. A steady diet of Loe and Parra is not real appetizing. Oh, Marcum has definitely not been on his game, but it would be nice if the ump was good/consistent.
-
They probably mentioned it on the radio for those not watching on TV, but Marcum seemed to have wrenched his back on his first swing in 4th. Hopefully it won't affect him the rest of the way.
-
Marcum is getting really frustrated with Joe West and I don't blame him one bit.
-
Miller Park is Altuve's personal Fantasy Island.
-
No. He was trucking through third, but Sedar rightly put up the stop sign. Braun had to slam on the brakes.
-
Wow. Joe West is awful. If Marcum would've gotten pitches like the last two strikes to Rickie, he'd be in much better shape. Weeks should have totally been on 1st base.
-
I'm liking the Astros announcers so far. They seem pretty knowledgeable about more than just "casual fan" stuff. They were lauding Altuve during his first AB, but then mentioned that his BABIP was around .400 and said that that's totally unsustainable. Then, lo and behold, he lunges at a pitch in his 2nd AB and gets another hit. Just one of those games so far, I guess. Bad pitching day and a couple problems in the field (Braun's error and Weeks had a chance to get Altuve at the plate in the first but double-clutched for some reason).
-
Braun says, "What 0-for-5?"
-
Yeah, a bit wild so far. Watching the Astros telecast, he seemed to get squeezed a bit on the Lee walk. He looked really good against the leadoff hitter. On TV, the location of the pitch that Martinez hit for a double didn't look too bad - he looked to do a nice job of slightly inside-outing a low pitch - but I don't know what the diagram says online.
-
This stuff happens.
-
Ish has certainly made the most of his starts.
-
No. That ball was going to the wall no matter what. No way. He cut straight over on a ball he had zero chance of catching. If he angles back like he should've, its probably a single. Nope. That ball was hit way too hard for him to circle around it.
-
Thumbs up. Quality comedic comment right there. My brother and I used to mimic Yount's catch by catching a ball and then after a delay, diving on the bed.

Guys, Gamel wasn't staring the catcher down after the collision. He looked back for a second while walking to the dugout. He wasn't scowling, he wasn't taunting. He was looking. He obviously looked back to see how the catcher was doing - not necessarily out of "concern," but probably just out of natural curiosity. I'm pretty sure every player in the league would look back for a moment to see what was going on in the aftermath. Let's not overthink this.

Larry Bowa: "I think you've got to put John Axford up there as one of the best closers in the National League." Thanks, Larry. Welcome to 2011.

.841 if I did the math right.
