    Maybe because he's pitching a decent game.

    I don't remember the last time a 3-1 deficit in the 6th was considered a "beating."

    Well, it's not like Hart was doing anything until last game. I actually thought Yost's reasoning for Hall at 5 and Hart at 6 made some sense (I believe it was discussed during the first game of the season on ESPN2). A lot depends on who bats 7th. Hardy is normally a good contact hitter and doesn't tend to strike out all that much (yeah, so far he's been a bit cold at the plate). Knowing that, it's good to have a guy like Hart, a very good hitter and a tremendous base runner, ahead of him. That way, there are more opportunities for Hart to do his thing on the base paths and Hardy is typically a good guy to have up to help move the runner over or even do a hit-and-run. I really have no problem with the batting order. Obviously, there are some problems with Hall 5th and Hart 6th, but there would be other problems if you switched them.

    Well, he does lead the team in homers.

    What's Sid Ponson doing these days? I hear the Cubs are trying to move Jason Marquis, too. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif Speaking of which, here are the top two similar pitchers to Weaver through age 30, according to BR.com: Jeff Suppan (957)Sidney Ponson (947)

    I'll have to respectfully disagree. Even for a minor league deal. Jeff Weaver is a really, really, really bad pitcher. In no way would I ever want him on the big league squad. He's beyond putrid. They'd better be paying him the bare minimum and using him as an example of how not to pitch. If that's the case, then he could be of some use in the minors.

    Statistically, the expected number of runs with a runner on 2nd and no outs (1.19) is higher than the expected number of runs with a runner on 3rd and one out (0.99). Personally, I don't see a reason to give up an out with a capable hitter at the plate and other good hitters to come unless you need exactly one run (end of game, need to tie or win). You have a better chance at a big inning if you don't sacrifice with a runner on 2nd and no outs. Here are some stats on the different base runner/out scenarios, based on 2007 results: http://www.baseballprospectus.com/statistics/sortable/index.php?cid=204022 As for not using our speed, the Brewers are 4th in the NL in SB and have the best SB% of those four (and one of those outs, Braun on the double steal, was a bad call by the ump). Speed is used in other situations, too, such as being aggressive and taking an extra base when possible. Corey Hart, in particular, has been doing this wonderfully.

    I was watching the Sox/Yanks tonight and Joe Morgan was talking about how much it probably cost to dig it up. He talked about the time involved, union workers, Sunday pay, etc. Then Joe Miller said, "You sound like you are unhappy you were busy Sunday." Thought it was funny. I was thinking something similar - what a waste of money to dig up a jersey.

    And the game tying hit was a Willie Mays Hayes-esque "excuse me" check swing.
  10. dlk9s
    Bush owns Poo Holes.
  11. dlk9s
    Kapler for God.
  12. dlk9s
    He flailed away at a bad pitch for a K in the 1st and popped out with runners on 2nd and 3rd with 1 out, so you saw the better part of his game. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/laugh.gifhttp://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/tongue.gif I expect him to strikeout, so I don't even count that.
  13. dlk9s
    By the way, Geoff Jenkins is hitting leadoff today. He's 1-4, but I did see him absolutely crush a line drive that got robbed by the 2B.
  14. dlk9s
    For those not listening to the radio: Uke and Powell are talking about the whole Sox shirt buried at the new Yankee's stadium. Powell asks Uke if he believes in curses. Uke: Eh, I don't believe in cursing. I try to keep my language level. I do say "darnit" once in a while. Very nice.

    No way Fielder gets that if he's weighed down by meat. No way. The diet is paying dividends.
  16. dlk9s
    Yeah you'd think they were Brewer fans or something! True, true.
  17. dlk9s
    Man, the Mets fans are terrible. Perez hadn't given up a run before this game and they boo him when the inning ends. He and Suppan should both apologize for having bad games because, you know, they definitely intended to have rough outings today.
  18. dlk9s
    Exactly. They were sure down last year and we saw what happened. I will always remember the 2007 season when I'm tempted to get too high or too low about a team.
  19. dlk9s
    Ugh. Cards take the lead with 2 outs in the 10th.
  20. dlk9s
    Tied up in the 9th! Runner on 2nd, 2 outs. EDIT: Going to extras.
  21. dlk9s
    Giants were up 5-0 after six. Now down 7-5 in the 9th. Yay bullpen.
  22. dlk9s
    We didn't hit well against Zambrano or Cueto.
  23. dlk9s
    SIX HAMBURGERS FOR FIVE DOLLARS AT GEORGE WEBB FOR PRINCE, PLEASE! http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/tongue.gif
  24. dlk9s
    It may have been when Shouse slipped on the mound and did the splits. The training staff came out to make sure he was ok, which he was.
  25. dlk9s
    Sample size, please.
