It's so aggravating to see Cubs fans behind home plate. -
No worries. We have the ability to score 20 runs.
-
Well, this is promising.
-
Cubs announcers were just talking about how they needed to do something about their offense. Then Brenly said, "Hopefully facing Jeff Suppan tonight can jumpstart the offense." D'oh. I really hope Soup has a decent game. I don't want him to get booed mercilessly.

Why is that lame? It's not a sports bar.Good point. But you would think a restaurant with his name on it would have some kind of Braun stuff in it. Oh well, I will still probably go and check it out at least once just because it is Braun's. But the fact the bartender didn't know what game a previous poster asked him to put on, come on.That was really funny about the bartender. Yeah, maybe there should be a couple of things having to do with Ryan Braun in the restaurant, but I wouldn't make them the typical jerseys and bats. Maybe a classy B&W photo or two of him or something.

The same reason many guys do it - long-term job security. Weeks would actually have more reason to sign an extension than many players, considering how often he has been injured. I'm not saying he should or should not, but there are a number of reasons to do so, security being number one.

Hoffman's courtesy inning theory vs Macha
dlk9s replied to AdvantageSchneider's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
I have absolutely zero problems with Macha putting Hoffman in today. None. -

And he's dreamy.

Sorry, but Matt Kemp is the leader. More home runs, more runs, same RBIs, lower OPS, but very close. He said "an," not "the," and it doesn't even matter at this point, anyway.
-
Our pythag jumped a game. Was 7-7, now 9-6.
-
My daughter is watching Go Diego Go right now. Just thought I should mention that.
-
I believe the Rockies' announcers said they went and that it was good. Then again, it's not like they are going to say that it was terrible on the air, but I suppose they could have just not mentioned it. When I get back to Milwaukee, I'll have to check it out (although it doesn't really seem like the place to bring two little kids).

In the meantime, in the small sample that is the 2010 season, Escobar's plate discipline is better than the league average by a significant margin. (League average in parentheses) Outside strike zone swing %: 15.0 (26.5) Inside strike zone swing %: 59.2 (63.5) Now, he is like Vlad in that he can make contact with anything. He has made contact with every single pitch that he has swung at outside the strike zone (64.4% league average)
-
Pretty solid post-All Star break. In 23 IP, he had a 3.52 ERA, .688 OPS against, 17 K, 6 BB.

I'm frustrated with these late inning losses, too, but can someone honestly explain to me how blaming Macha for the bad 8th inning is anything but results oriented thinking? As I stated earlier, what exactly did Hawkins do poorly that inning other than hitting a batter? Aside from that, he allowed four crappy grounders and a sac bunt (I did not see the infield hit and Zimmerman's GIDP, so I guess the GIDP may have been a well struck ball). It's unrealistic to expect a 1-2-3 inning every time a reliever comes in, so I'm not going to get all up in arms about a HBP. Hawkins did his job well enough to get out of that inning with no runs scored, but it didn't work out that way. I question some of Macha's pitching decisions lately, but I have no problem with Hawkins going in for the 8th tonight, nor do I have a problem with how he pitched.
-
I'm not going to get on Hawkins for that inning. The only thing he did particularly wrong was hit a guy. There was an infield single (according to Gameday - correct me if I'm wrong there), a sac bunt, a grounder to first that Prince missed, a weak bouncer on a pretty good curveball, and a GIDP. So the Nats scored three runs and their best hit was a weak grounder.
-
I'm rooting for him, too. He'll always be a Brewer in my book. Hope the A's make it to the World Series.
-
I was pleasantly surprised by Suppan's outing. I missed the 2nd inning damage, but from the rest of what I saw, he seemed to have decent command, especially considering he just came off the DL. Yeah, he served a couple up, but overall, his stuff was ok today. 4 runs in 5 innings isn't some great performance, but he pitched better than Zambrano and the wind was not doing the pitchers any favors.
-
Everybody, calm down. Bob Brenly said that Corey Hart is a better right fielder than Jody Gerut. Therefore, we should all be happy that Hart was out there, or it would have been worse.
-
Holy crap. Brenly just said, "It's a little too early to think about defense, but Corey Hart IS a better right fielder than Jody Gerut."

Winning With a Team You Hate?
dlk9s replied to Warning Track Power's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Anthony Mason wasn't on that Bucks team. I didn't really see anything to dislike about them. Glenn Robinson and Tim Thomas might not have been cornucopias of joy and personality, but I didn't find anything wrong with them. Most of the guys were pretty likable. I suppose I would be happy no matter what if my team won the title, but I wouldn't be overjoyed if it was filled with players I disliked. It's just not fun rooting for players who are jerks. -
If I'm Stetter, I talk to Macha in private after the game and ask why he wasn't put in for Fukudome.
