When has a bartender ever asked if a customer cares how a beer tastes? Those commercials just tilt me for some reason. -
Not only that, but he looked quite good doing it. Strikeout, pop out, 70 foot weak groundout.
-
Very impressed with Ely. He threw a lot of strikes while at the same time not giving anyone anything to hit.
-
More like Team "Probe." Am I right?

J.J. Hardy: Sprained wrist 5/4; "day to day"
dlk9s replied to ilovebeer's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
He was the hero in the game the other night (must have been the game he jammed his wrist). Saved the go-ahead run in the 9th with a great diving play and a heads-up throw to third to catch the runner rounding the base. Then he triples in the bottom of the inning (WHAT) and scores on a wild pitch to win it. I was happy to see that. -
The way things are going, the NL Cy Young race is going to be great. Ubaldo, Lincecum, Halladay, Zito, etc. Should be fun to follow.

Braun has had the unluckiest 2-for-5 night in the history of Western civilization.
-
That Hawkins interaction with Peterson was awesome. "Yeah, yeah, I gave up a single and a walk. Yeah, yeah, settle down and throw strikes. I've only been doing this for 80 years. Go away."

I just call 'em as I see 'em.

He's looking very good tonight. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
-
It's so effective because his fastball is 110.
-
Really? He's been pretty decent in the field for the last season or two (note: I'm not looking at any stats right now). On that play, it looked like Weeks thought Edmonds was calling him off or something. There was obviously some reason why Weeks didn't catch the ball - it's not like he dropped it, didn't see it, loafed, etc. He looked at Edmonds and pulled off the pursuit as if he was supposed to give way to the outfielder.
-
Rickey Henderson was fast, too, and sometimes he got caught stealing.
-
Obviously DD didn't do a fantastic job in the 1st, but man, it sure seems like he can't buy any luck. Two of those hits were on pretty nice low pitches that the hitters had to reach for. A couple were down the middle, though. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

God bless Seth McClung or whoever that was pitching.
-
I didn't see the AB, but many a player has had an ugly AB against a knuckleballer.
-
They've hit for a combined cycle.
-
The Brewers pythag will be exactly .500 at the end of the season with the way they score runs.
-
That game was actually a prime example of what Invader was talking about. The 4-run 4th inning went like this: error (hard hit ball), walk (two "balls" were in the strikezone, one even moreso than one of the called strikes), soft groundball single, soft groundball single, fake bunt/bat pull back lucky chop single by the pitcher that went over Prince, ground out, classic Eckstein nub-shot bloop single, double play. I don't remember the 5th inning, but Gameday says one of the two singles Davis gave up was a line drive. Davis' outing against the Padres was extremely unlucky.
-
Here's a plot from BrooksBaseball.net of the called strikes and balls from the game (anything swung at isn't plotted). The strike zone is from the ump's point of view. As you can see, he had a major problem evaluating the side of the plate that was to his right. Some of the strikes he called (in red) were a half foot or more off the plate. Interestingly, and I could see this as I watched the game, there were more bad strike calls against righties than lefties (not differentiated in this graph). http://img690.imageshack.us/img690/4311/zoneplotnonnormphppitch.gif

The hitters had every right to whine tonight. That home plate umpire was terrible. I didn't see Gwynn's first K that apparently he complained about, but if it was anything like the rest of the game, I would imagine he had a beef. I'm sure the only reason Weeks didn't complain after he was rung up in the 9th was because he just saw Gonzalez get tossed. That was seriously one of the worst strike zones I've ever seen. And Dick Enberg was awful in the Padres broadcast, too.

April prediction thread - with fabulous prizes
dlk9s replied to jjkoestler's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
I predict 9-14. What do I win? -
What has me not giving up is that most of the losses have been the result of one player/part of the team failing spectacularly each time. In one game it's a reliever getting destroyed in an inning, in another it's a starter taking the beating of his life, in another, it's the hitters not scoring. We haven't really seen much in the way of everything just going normally: the lineup scoring a decent number of runs, the starter going 6 adequate innings, and the relievers coming in and not giving up a lead. Some part of the team always implodes. That just doesn't seem normal to me.

First time those three words have been put in that order in the history of humankind.
-
I haven't been watching since Davis was pulled, but following online, it seems like since the rocky start, Suppan has pitched pretty well tonight. So that's something.
