    It might be a nice 3 games, it might be a turn around. Who knows?

    They should just let me be the mop up guy. I was a crafty lefty, just what the Brewers like. I'll play for the league minimum. I won't be offended or upset if I only pitch out of the pen once a week and only when it's a blow out. Just give me a few weeks to get my arm in shape and to get my curveball back.

    Just stopped in to see the reactions to 130 pitches. Now I'm going to dinner.

    I will always love Phil Garner for almost brawling with the White Sox manager.

    Whoa. Very nice. Hope he does well.

    The starting rotation in its current form is far from borderline awful. In fact, it's pretty solid, innings issues to this point aside. When your worst starter is Doug Davis, that's not too bad. No, it's not one of the best in the league or anything, but to say it's borderline awful is way overstating things.

    I assumed they'd just move the game to Milwaukee, as Miller Park seems to be the default alternate MLB venue.

    Yeah, I see what you're saying. I hated my high school varsity coach (should I say the school?), which resulted in the impossible: I didn't want to play when I got to college. But one thing I could say for him was that he pretty much just let us do our thing. We had a pretty stacked team full of smart ball players, so it was easy for him to do. I had the same catcher since 7th grade, so he knew exactly what pitches to call for me. I rarely had to shake him off. But we digress.

    I personally don't have a problem with it, but I guess I could see the difference between the bullpen coach using binoculars and a runner on 2nd trying to steal signs. The bullpen coach basically becomes a team member dedicated to stealing signs, whereas the runner on 2nd has to do it within the confines of the game. If that makes sense. I remember in high school, there was a team that a) I happened to never end up pitching against, and b) whose manager relayed the pitch selection to the catcher to give to the pitcher. From my vantage point in the dugout, I cracked their code within an inning. Good times.

    To reiterate something from my list of pitchers (someone else also mentioned it), we lost three games on Hoffman blown saves. If he doesn't blow those, not that I expect anyone to be flawless, we're 7-7 at home and 3 over .500 on the season. Overall, I think it's just a coincidence that we haven't been good at home so far.

    Ubaldo, Hoffman, Garcia, Dempster, Lilly, Wells, Hoffman, Hoffman, Hanson, Hudson?
  13. dlk9s
    He made a great play in the All-Star game and had a good year hitting.

    I've never really noticed Witrado's writing too much, but I'm starting to see what people are saying. In reading his story about the Brewers 8-2 loss to the Braves, I find him overly critical of Doug Davis. He seems to treat the first 4 2/3 quality innings as a fluke and then goes on to spend most of the rest of the article slamming Davis. For some reason, his writing "...loyalists like to let their imaginations run wild sometimes," in reference to fans hoping for a no-hitter after he had gone over half the game without allowing a base hit irked me. It's like there was no way in hell that a no-hitter could have been possible and anyone hoping for it was delusional. Obviously, it was a long-shot, but heck, he had gone 4 2/3 innings already and had looked pretty good, so why not?

    DFA Castro
  16. dlk9s
    Yeah, watching the Braves telecast, the crowd seemed REALLY quiet. That was very weird with Weeks last night. He's been pretty solid in the field. The first error was fluky - if I remember right it looked like the ball slipped out when he was transferring it from his glove to his hand. The second was a straight-up boot. But oh, well. Everyone has their hiccups sometimes. I don't get mad if someone messes up. If they mess up because they aren't trying, that's a different story.
  17. dlk9s
    The funny thing is, Davis was pitching quite well for the first several innings. Yeah, he walked some guys, but nobody was making solid contact, so he could afford it. As someone earlier said, he was one out away from a quality start, even with the shakiness in the 6th. It goes to show how fine a line there can sometimes be between a good game and a bad game. It did seem like Hanson was given a better strike zone than Davis, but I don't think it was going to matter, anyway. The kid was filthy tonight. His breaking/off speed stuff is really good.
  18. dlk9s
    Thought I saw it higher on the telecast, but I'm on east coast, so it was later for me and my eyes may not have been communicating with my brain properly.

    Sssssshhh! Doug will hear you! Of course, Eric is only 34, and you don't want a spring chicken out there.Haha, way too young to be on Doug's radar.Geoff Jenkins, then.
  20. dlk9s
    How about Eric Byrnes?
  21. dlk9s
    He's looked fine to me this year. Aside from walking more guys than he usually does, his pitches have looked pretty good to me. I believe last night his fastball was hitting 89-90 at times.
  22. dlk9s
    Unimportant note: I just read that the big error in the 1st, which was originally attributed to Fielder, was given to McGehee after the game. That's complete crap.
  23. dlk9s
    Remember when we were all trying to come up with trade ideas to get Ethier and/or Kemp a couple years ago? That would have been nice. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif
  24. dlk9s
    Win or lose tonight, gotta love the comeback! It's fun to finally see something like this in 2010!
  25. dlk9s
    Sick of the stigma that comes with having a carry-all? http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gifNah, the Baby Bjorn undermines my masculinity just fine, thanks.
