    Mitch Stetter is an obstetrician?

    I agree completely with what splitter and fondy wrote. The pitchers to be concerned about are the Brewers' pitchers, not the opponents. This team has shown the ability to hit anybody and be blanked by anybody. Our cold streaks are typically the result of our own bad pitching. I mean, look at the last couple weeks. This team has played well, and while the hitting has been good overall, the pitching has been very good (a couple games excluded, which is always the case).

    The days of the father passing out cigars in the waiting room are long over, my friend. I guarantee that when it comes down to the day of your child's birth, you will want to be in the delivery room. You can be up at your wife's head. And if you don't want to be in there, your wife will make you.

    Silver lining: Bush only gave up one run. Wishful thinking: He worked out the kinks in the first and will shut them down from here on out.
  5. dlk9s
    I like Bush just fine. Overall, he's had a relatively solid season. As Rluz mentioned, he seems to be the kind of pitcher who gets drilled every so often, which ends up overshadowing his other starts. One surprising stat I saw was that his last outing was the first of the season where he didn't go at least 5 innings. Obviously, we want our pitchers to go 6 or 7, but to be able to go at least 5 every time is good. I don't like that we have to face Pitt's ace, even though we did do well against him last time. We're going to face good pitching the rest of the month.

    I live down here in Atlanta and plan on taking my 11-month old daughter to her first game on the Sunday of that series.

    A bit of a tangent, but the "if the Brewers make the playoffs" made me think about how long it has been since it happened. If the Brewers make the playoffs (or even maybe not this year, but in the next year or two), I will be almost as old as my dad was when the Brewers last saw the post season. That semi-blows my mind. And I'd like to face Arizona if I had the choice.

    By the way, this is a good (if extraordinarily bizarre and statistically improbable) example of why coaches need indicator signs.

    From the JS recap of the game. One of the most bizarre things I've ever heard when it comes to baseball: A mosquito bite that Brewers manager Ned Yost got earlier in the week at Miller Park cost his team a scoring opportunity in the first inning in what became an 11-4 rout at the hands of the Cincinnati Reds. That's right, a mosquito bite. Gabe Gross hit a one-out double in the first inning but ended the inning by getting caught trying to steal third as Reds pitcher Bronson Arroyo struck out Ryan Braun. "I had a mosquito bite in a certain spot and I was itching it, and Nick thought I was putting the steal on," Brewers manager Ned Yost said, referring to third-base coach Nick Leyva. Baseball creed says never to make the first or third out at third base, and with Prince Fielder due up after Braun, seeing Gross take off for third was simply shocking. "Gabe takes off and I'm looking around thinking, 'What's going on here?' " Yost said. "That was an omen to begin with." Gross was equally shocked. "I thought it was kind of a weird time, but he put it on and I took off," Gross said. (consolidated tags --1992)

    Because he pitched poorly.

    Hey, Brewers...just a heads-up: Lilly is going to throw a curveball when the count is 0-2 or 1-2.
  12. dlk9s
    Crap. That would have been ball four to JJ. And no, Mr. Lilly, ball three was not a strike.
  13. dlk9s
    In the meantime, he's hit over .300 since he arrived in Chicago with an OBP of around .400. Cubs fans are not allowed to whine about Kendall and Jones for the final month of the season.
  14. dlk9s
    Bill Hall hits a curveball about as well as Pedro Cerrano. Actually, Cerrano tried hard to hit them. Hall looks like he just decides to swing and if the ball curves into the bat, so be it.
  15. dlk9s
    And...this is Cubs baseball.
  16. dlk9s
    I am most definitely happy with that top of the first, but it was a tad frustrating to see Damian look at two meaty pitches for strikes and then whiff on a big curve. I'll take it, though. I'll take it every inning.
  17. dlk9s
    The timing on Fielder's suspension is good, though, as, provided our pitchers throw decent enough games, we shouldn't need TOO much offense against SF.
  18. dlk9s
    Losses are more important than wins because you can't "make up" or "catch up" in losses.
  19. dlk9s
    More importantly, within one game in the loss column. Keep in mind that St. Louis is tied with us in the loss column.
  20. dlk9s
    Take out a bad game or two and his stats rise.

    Perhaps hauser meant to post it like this: It has been posted on here the last two years that Geoff Jenkins is a second half/pennant run producer, so far he has not gotten on one of his tears that was thought to be his birth right. This should happen a little easier this year with him only having to face right handed pitching and not the lefties that baffle him. Yet a team in playoff mode is still waiting for him. There could be some very good reasons. 1. He has not gotten that streak yet. Problem here is there are 6 weeks left and time is running out. 2. Pennant pressure is getting to him and he will not get his streak in. Years past Brewers were not in the chase and no pressure to produce. 3.Jenkins has been a bit over rated on this site and not the player that some think he is or was. 4. Age has caught up to Jenkins and we should temper or expectations. I'm not sure what it is but if anyone else can come up with some answers I would love to hear them. Dont care if they are thinking Jenkins will turn it around and get hot or if you think he never will this year.

    Well, if MLB's Gameday is accurate, it looks like the home plate ump has a wide strikezone already. One of the strikes to Weeks and one to Fielder were outside. They weren't crazy outside, though. Another to Fielder was just barely on the corner.
  24. dlk9s
    This is already his 15th year, actually. Can you believe it?
