    Yeah, he was out, but in real time something like that is nearly impossible to see. I don't think it will be one of those umping mistakes ESPN will talk about all day.

    The first bounce looked fair to me (I assume you are talking about when it bounced a foot or two from the batter). But according to the rules, it doesn't matter:

    I agree with what you guys have said. Cruz is the only real "imagine if we had him" guy, but we all know his recent ascent to stardom was unforeseen. A couple of those other guys would be nice to have, but they are relatively inconsequential losses. Well, I suppose I would have liked to have kept Coco and since the money was close, it looks like we could have, but I guess he really wanted to get that extra million per year. I don't blame Melvin in the slightest for Cordero's departure.

    He focuses on his players more than most owners in any sport.

    You said it sounds crazy, and you are right.

    I'd be willing to take a risk on Kazmir, but only if it was truly a "buy low" scenario. $12 million (or $14.5, depending on how you look at it) plus whoever you'd have to trade for him isn't exactly buying low. If he could be had for nothing in a waiver claim or if he was a FA after this season and could be signed for just a couple million or something, sure, go for it.

    He's one of the best owners in professional sports, so yes, it would be pretty cool to see him buy the Rangers. Plus, it might mean that there would be five fewer minutes of Yankees/Red Sox talk on ESPN.

    By the way, loved him putting down that bunt early in the game. Smart player, that Ryan Braun.

    They might be able to trade Narveson to an AL team in need of a DH.

    Robin Yount's son, Dustin, played in that league.

    I don't know, I'd still probably send him down to Nashville and call up Cain. I'd say just call up Cain to start every day, but we'd be wasting Braun's service time having him just sit on the bench. He needs to go to AAA to play every day.

    Speaking of which, when is the last time that's happened in MLB? It seems like nobody charges anymore.

    This is one of the things that really irks me about a lot of fans. So many people expect the Brewers to go out and get perfect players at every position. There aren't many guys that are fantastic in the field and at the plate. Those that are are very, very expensive. There was a question posed by someone a while back about how the Brewers can improve their defense. One way is to provide further training for our current players, but we all know that probably won't go very far. The other way is to sign a bunch of plus defenders. The problem is, if they find plus defenders who are affordable, they won't be strong at the plate. The Brewers simply aren't going to be able to field a team full of "complete" players. Sacrifices have to be made in some areas. Management knows that Corey isn't a tremendous outfielder, but they determined that his bat was worth the extension.

    Going back to the above statement, I really wouldn't worry too much about it. It was said when we were what, 8 games out? I really can't imagine that Melvin actually though that we were "close enough to contention." My two most probably reasons for the statement are: 1) The "close enough to contention" is in reference to next season, meaning that Melvin feels that he can make a couple moves without getting rid of two of our top sluggers and give the team a shot at the playoffs in 2011. 2) The rival GM was annoyed that the Melvin wouldn't accept his offers, so he said the "close enough to contention" line sarcastically.
  15. dlk9s
    That's actually one of the more interesting articles I have read in a while.
  16. dlk9s
    I don't find it silly at all.
  17. dlk9s
    Must...resist...fat...jokes...

    I looked back at that 1992 team and man, it seemed like a strange team to be so good. Looking up and down the roster, it doesn't seem like they should've even been close to the playoffs. But, as it turns it, they were in many ways the opposite of this year's team. Second last in the AL in homers. Fourth last in SLG. Second in BA. First in SB (by almost 100!). Second in SAC. First (best) in GIDP. First in ERA. First (best) in BB allowed (by far). First in WHIP. Second last in K's by pitchers. Second in K/BB. First in Fielding % (yeah, crap stat, but still).

    Racist ban.

    The article wasn't referring to gaseous emissions.
  21. dlk9s
    Gallardo had a bad game. Happens.
  22. dlk9s
    It's nice to see our guys in a positive article and all, but keep in mind that Bleacher Report is pretty much a crap site. It's mostly articles written by fans, regardless of how much they know. I write for some poker websites and was assigned a story about an article on Bleacher Report that listed the top 20 sexiest women in poker or something. Several of them weren't even involved in poker or only marginally involved. The author obviously had no real knowledge of poker.
  23. dlk9s
    Well, there goes Gallardo's trade value.
  24. dlk9s
    And...Haren just left his first game with the Angels after taking a line drive off his forearm in the 5th.
