  1. I wonder if Quade would complain about someone breaking up a no-hitter with a bunt in the 2nd inning.
  2. At least for now, Brandon Boggs can say he is better than Ryan Braun today.
  3. I guess it will just be that much more exciting when we win in the bottom of the 10th.
  4. I was just coming to post this. Ball bouncing in the outfield. Fade to black.
  5. I have no problems with how he pitched tonight. His job was to go out there and throw strikes. His arm looked good. There was no need to get cute with such a big lead.
  6. Well, looks like Hawkins' arm is fine. Consistently at 93 MPH with the fastball according to Gameday. Hit 95 once.
  7. Phew. I was about ready to call for a DFA Braun after the DP in the first.
  8. Drat! Thanks for the live look-in, MLB.com, but it would be nice to let me finish the inning!
  9. I saw on Gameday that the Astros manager just got the boot. Was he arguing balls and strikes? I missed the two walks online, but in the first inning, it looked like the ump wasn't giving the pitchers the outside corner to righties, if the pitch tracker can be trusted. Actually, the strike zone seems pretty small all around.

  11. For me, beyond the dollar amounts, there's a sentimental, emotional aspect of this that makes me happy the deal got done. You all know how we Wisconsin/Milwaukee sports fans are: we appreciate more than most fans the players who seem to genuinely like playing for our teams, who seem to actually enjoy being part of the community. Ryan Braun is California-raised, Miami-schooled, but decided that he wants to essentially be a Milwaukeean for the rest of his career. Yeah, I know the money is good, but he didn't have to sign either of the long-term deals. The fact that a superstar, and a "cool" one at that, wants to stay in Milwaukee means something to me, and something much more than it would to fans of most other teams.
  12. He's so attractive there can't possibly be two of him.
  13. I don't buy it. I find it hard to believe that the Cubs have ever had to throw games on purpose.
  14. There's a difference between being not being a good baserunner and just not being fast enough to go from first to third. Nobody is saying Prince is Paul Molitor out there, but I think most can agree that for a guy his size, he runs pretty well, even if it is still pretty slow on an absolute scale.
  15. If there's a bowling alley in the house, it would be pretty hard to just up and leave.
  16. Can we not assume that the Phillies would have brought in a lefty (Contreras?) if the Brewers had PH a lefty for Almonte? Or was it a situation where Madsen is the 8th inning guy, so he stays in no matter what?
  17. Prince is a pretty decent runner for such a big guy; when he builds up a head of steam, he can motor a tad. And he always runs hard, which is what matters to me. But yeah, he's not a good defender. I don't think he's quite as bad as people make him out to be (eye test), but he's not good.
  18. It would be interesting to see how far out of the zone the pitches are. He doesn't seem to be flailing at pitches that are way outside or way high as he has in the past. I wouldn't be at all surprised if balls outside the zone that he offers at are just barely off the plate or close enough to swing at when protecting with 2 strikes.
  19. I'm pretty surprised that so many here thought Braun was pulled from the game because he was hurt. There was nothing to indicate that he was hurt and I thought it was pretty obvious that he was pulled to just give him an extra inning of rest/make sure he doesn't get hurt in a 9-0 game.
  20. It's not that it doesn't sound like they're acting out of line, they're simply not acting out of line. The bereavement list includes serious illness.
  21. Sweet. MLB Network showed Grienke pitching in his rehab assignment.
