    No kidding. Obviously, I'll be OVERJOYED if we make the playoffs in any way way possible, but boy, would I like to have the spot clinched after Saturday so that CC can get some rest. If that happens somehow, we'll be good to go, aside from all of our other starting pitching issues.
  2. dlk9s
    Me too, but I would gladly take Yount as a consolation gift.

    Yeah, I was talking to my brother about that the other day. Gagne seems to have pretty good stuff and has looked great on many occasions. It's just that when he has a bad inning, it's a REALLY bad inning. I don't expect relievers to throw shutouts every time they enter a game - they are going to give up a tying or go-ahead run sometimes - but it's really frustrating when they absolutely blow up.

    Boy, was I wrong. Man, I hope they get that game in tomorrow.

    The key to this game is whether or not I watch. When I've been watching, Zambrano has been giving up grand slams and Zmardjiaiaia is walking in runs. When I don't watch, the Cubs score and the Mets squander opportunities.

    Wrong thread. Plus, we won, so it really doesn't matter.

    While I would not have IBB'd Chavez, I can sort of understand the reason for it. If he hits a grounder, you have to get him at first base. He's fast, so any grounder that's mildly tricky could very well result in an infield single. Plus a guy with 2 AB's all season was coming up. That said, I think a tricky grounder with bases loaded could result in an infield single, too, especially since the runners would be going on contact. While I disagree with the decision, I can see the argument for it.

    I wouldn't have minded keeping CC on regular rest (or even push him to the Cubs series) and take our chances with Suppan/others against the light hitting Pirates.
  9. dlk9s
    I complete expect the Cubs to shut it down the rest of this game, too.

    I'm so glad Zambrano sucks when we want him to be good.
  11. dlk9s
    I agree. I can't see any way Braun will go back to third. He was bad there last season and won't be any better (probably worse) after having not played the position in a year. He has the potential to be a very good outfielder. Norton might actually be a decent stop-gap, and he'd be cheap. Switch hitter, too. I really don't know if he'd be any good as an every day 3B, though, or if he's better as a bench player.

    Figures. Booing our most reliable reliever for the last couple months simply because he had a bad inning. Boo for lack of effort, boo a player for being a jerk, but don't boo just for a poor performance, especially since a) baseball is a game of constant failure, and b) Mota has been fantastic lately.

    No.

    Oh dear.

    Meh, Santana's pitch count is under control now. Only 70 through 5.
  18. dlk9s
    Well, looks like CC is going Wednesday, according to TH in his blog.
  19. dlk9s
    It's a doubles fest for the Cubs so far.
  20. dlk9s
    What about pushing CC to Friday, giving him 5 days rest and allowing him to go against the Cubs? While every game is a must win at this point, I am nervous about CC having to go on short rest three starts in a row, plus we might be able to take our chances with a jerry-rigged starting rotation against the Pirates.

    The funny thing is, baseball is a sport where, even if you put in scrubs, it's still very possible to win. All it takes is a good game by the starting pitcher and/or good games by a couple hitters and a team of bench players can beat anybody.

    He was 0-for-3 with 2 K's in 1974 for the Brewers.
  23. dlk9s
    Was about to come post this. So, it looks like we'll face Dempster, Lilly, and Marquis. I was hoping Dempster would be given the series off, but hey, I'll take it.

    I find the extraordinary praise of Sveum in this article by current players very interesting: http://www.jsonline.com/story/index.aspx?id=797749 Players don't have to say those sorts of things. They can just say something supportive to sound good in the paper, if they don't really care or mean it.

    Since his last complete game shutout: 26.2 IP, 25 K, 4 BB, 29 H, 9 ER, 3.04 ERA, .684 OPS against I hope every pitcher on the Brewers scuffles like that. but he's got 2 losses now... He's regressing back to where he should be. It's unreasonable to expect him (or any other pitcher) to continue to put up a 1.50 ERA for the rest of this season or his career. CC is still pretty intimidating to face in a short series. My point is that he is not "scuffling." In the four games since his last win, the Brewers have averaged less than 4 runs per game. W-L record is a fairly meaningless measuring stick for pitchers.
