  1. Villy REALLY had his breaking stuff working that inning.
  2. I really need to just go to every Rays game. Like half of them result in a no-hitter.
  3. Technically, I guess it's true that it "seems" true to RockCo, but in reality, there is really no evidence of Wolf being a wet towel on any string of success the Brewers have had this year. He was the starter on two occasions when the Brewers ended a winning streak of 2 games or more. Once was a horrible game against the Cubs and once was a moderately bad game against the Mariners (4 ER in 5 IP and we were only down 1 when he exited).
  4. According to the Baseball Almanac website, a player has had two triples in one inning only 11 times in MLB history. The last time was in 2006 and before that, the next most recent time was 1951. Obviously, Cain accomplished it in AAA, but I thought it was worth noting.
  5. Just off the top of my head, I would figure the Cards would jump at the chance to get Bush if they could. He's a pretty solid 4/5 starter, and WAY better than Suppan. So yeah, he's not making it through waivers.
  6. Haren's not happening. He was just traded to the Angels. http://www.mlbtraderumors...-trade-joe-saunders.html
  7. I have a feeling the cops/security didn't make much of an effort because it was pretty apparent that the kid was harmless and that he was going to tire himself out. They had the exits blocked, so he wasn't going anywhere.
  8. I was just coming to post this. Today could be a nice psychological boost for the team if they can win. Finish off a sweep and get over that 7-under mark for the first time since mid-May. If I counted correctly, they've had 6 chances since then to break that barrier. And I agree with thablingster that it would be cool to see Trevor get a save today (I'd prefer a blowout, of course). He's been pitching pretty well of late.
  9. Yup, he wasn't going to be perfect forever. The good news is, there were bases loaded and nobody out and they only scored one run. Could've been a lot worse. Oh, and DFA Axford.
  10. I just saw the highlights and boy, I'm glad I forgot how awful those uniforms and overlapping MB logo were.
  11. In Macha's defense, I guarantee that he feels a lot worse than we do when a game goes south.
  12. "Rule 3.03 Comment: A pitcher may change to another position only once during the same inning; e.g. the pitcher will not be allowed to assume a position other than a pitcher more than once in the same inning." So, no, unless it was done just once in the inning.
  13. I've put my kid down to bed and as I was leaving the room, I had to sneeze. That's definitely a time to hold it back.
  14. This is pretty much exactly what Don Sutton said on the Braves radio broadcast the other day. Said he just needs to focus on one other pitch and ditch the rest.
  15. I don't think the major flaw of the team was any secret before this week.
  16. Time to shed a ray of sunlight on this thread. From Tom Haudricort's write-up of the 11-9 loss at Pittsburgh: "Given that quick nine-run lead, Lincoln proceeded to vomit all over himself." Awesome, awesome, awesome.
  17. Nobody said Bush is a top of the rotation starter. He's a decent 4/5 guy, so having a slightly below average ERA isn't really a big deal. To me, at least.
  18. It was entertaining to me as a Brewers fan, but overall, it was nothing too special. Nowhere close to HBO's Hard Knocks (I believe the show on MLB Network about the White Sox is supposed to be more like that, although I missed the first episode). I was expecting more depth in the behind-the-scenes stuff, but it really all just stayed on a very superficial level. I did enjoy the camerawork and production values - very well put together show. I, too, thought it was funny that Braun was non-existent except for a game highlight.
  19. He wasn't going to fetch much, anyway, but I don't think tonight is going to make GM's say, "Well, I did want him, but now that he had a bad game, no way!"
  20. Yes, because regular "Dave Bush" normally gives up 10 runs in 2 innings. The bottom line is that this year, he has had many more good/ok games than bad, it's just that his bad ones have been really bad.
  21. I just tuned in, and this is a rhetorical question: what in the hell is going on here?
  22. When I pitched in high school, my outfielders would yell "give 'em the heater!" while I was on the mound. Of course, the fun was that I was a location/movement pitcher with the slowest fastball on the team.
