    Backtracking a bit in this game: I just watched Dillon's homerun on Gameday and of course, the two Brewer fans the Arizona telecast showed cheering were gastrointestinal bypass candidates. Nothing like perpetuating the stereotype.

    What effort?

    There's a lot of baseball left. The Brewers played the Braves at home, where they are very good, and the Twins, also at home, and they've been very good everywhere lately. They lost some tough games against some good teams. Agreed. In order for the Brewers to have gained "more" ground last week, they would've had to have put together an 8 game winning streak, with 3 of those coming on the road. They were 8.5 back 2 weeks ago. I'd say they've made up some hefty ground.

    If by "continue" you mean since yesterday, then I agree. Otherwise, I don't see how they have been playing horribly on this road trip. 3-3 going into tonight, coming up just short in two of the losses. And those six games were at the second best home team (at the time, I believe) in the league and at the hottest team in the majors. Hey, if the Brewers can go 5-5 on this trip, which will obviously be tough to do if they lose tonight, considering the pitchers they have to face, that's pretty solid.

    I'm not sure I understand the problem here. Players don't get base hits every time up and Weeks has had a good game otherwise.

    I think we're actually getting pretty lucky in this series, not having to face Webb, Johnson, AND Haren. I will assume Webb will demolish us, but we have already hit the other three guys (even though Unit K'ed a whole bunch). A series win is entirely possible here, although it's on the road, so I won't count on it.

    I just voted for Braun, Hart and Kendall several times. I threw Fielder and Hardy on the ballot, too. Why? Why not? I will accept all lawsuits that are thrown my way.

    I know this was a typo, but...nice one.

    He's probably thinking that the way this game is going, that could be the game winner.

    I'm only listening on the radio, but Jim Powell said that Slowey is throwing fastballs for strikes, so I don't blame the hitters for swinging. Powell said that Slowey has really good movement on his fastball, which is making it hard to hit. Prince's BA is down to .272. It was up to .302 during the home stand.

    With two 1B on the field, the Brewers should have anything hit to the right side covered.
  13. dlk9s
    Yeah, it's bizarre.
  14. dlk9s
    I have to work during the game today (note: normally I'm taking care of my kid, but I've actually hired a neighborhood girl to watch her for 3 hours so I can get some work done), so nobody tell me what's going on in the game, ok? I'm recording it.
  15. dlk9s
    The Arizona series is going to be very tough, despite their recent struggles. We got lucky when we played them at home, as we didn't have to face Webb OR Haren.
  16. dlk9s
    Campillo is due for a bad game. I think the Brewers should do the honors.
  17. dlk9s
    I don't know why pitchers don't throw low-outside breakers to Fukudome all day. He looks foolish every time he swings at them.
  18. dlk9s
    This is nauseating.
  19. dlk9s
    Who's ready for a go-ahead HR by Edmonds?

    Here's a scouting report on Morton from February written by a guy on the Braves board (I added the bold):
  21. dlk9s
    He is actually swinging at fewer balls outside the strike zone than in any year of his career. According to FanGraphs.com, he has swung at 27.76% of pitches outside the zone (previous seasons were 33.98, 27.99, and 28.08). The MLB average in 2007 (I'm having trouble pulling up the 2008 stats) was 25.0%, so he's a bit higher than average, but not enormously so. Considering he's a guy who is looking to kill the ball and that this year, only 46.16% of pitches thrown to him are in the strike zone (MLB average last year was 50.30%), I can understand him swinging at a few more balls. He misses more outside the zone than the 2007 MLB average (53.04% vs. 60.8%), but he also swings more at strikes than the average (71.56% vs. 66.6%). He makes contact with pitches in the zone about on par with the league average. Fielder's numbers are a mixed bag this season with RISP. The NL batting average (using NL rather than MLB because I have those numbers) with RISP is .257. Prince's is .246. But his OBP is much better (.398 vs. .352), as is his SLG (.492 vs. .398). Thus, he destroys the NL average for OPS with RISP (.890 vs. .750). His BABIP with RISP is really low (.220).

    I live only a few miles from where his kid(s) go to high school (don't remember how many are left in the school). Should I head over and have a sit-down with the family?
  23. dlk9s
    NL average - Runner on 3rd base, less than 2 outs - 2598 PA's .322 BA, .371 OBP, .468 SLG, .839 OPS, 1598 R MIL - Runner on 3rd base, less than 2 outs - 148 PA's .243 BA, .310 OBP, .398 SLG, .708 OPS, 72 R So, yeah, the Brewers have been underperforming compare to the rest of the league, although 148 PA's is probably not a very good sample size. EDIT: Forgot to credit Baseball-Reference.com for the information.

    Good thing the playoffs don't start today, then.
  25. dlk9s
    If old and decrepit means averaging 6 IP per start, a 3:1 K/BB ratio, and a 122 ERA+, let's all go scout nursing home leagues.
