Bob Uecker was talking about broken bats recently, and he was saying that he thought one of the reasons more bats have been breaking in recent years is that so many players have switched from ash to maple. I'd like to suggest getting what you're most comfortable with, but replacement cost is important, too.

Two messages in a row contained this monster quote: Please note the guidelines in the "Quoting messages: please be brief" thread.

He explained it so well on the FOX game a couple weeks ago. Maybe Russ can lecture him on cause and effect.
-
Maybe Jason will hit into a double play today and give Ned enough of a sample to switch things back.

Russell "3TO" Branyan called up Gwynn sent down!
1992casey replied to Kurt's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
One of Russ' relatives bought some 3TO shirts when Brewerfan first made them available. He did sign a couple of those shirts for my nephews, but we didn't really have time to talk. A couple of his family members have posted here. I believe one of them identifies him/herself in the Return of 3TO thread (now locked and superceded by this one). Another posted here and identified herself when he was first acquired in 2004. She's on the member list but hasn't posted since. She used to occasionally join in the game threads on brewers.com. -
Leadoff doubles are way cool, and a lot of lineup research suggests that a Rickey Henderson type is absolutely optimum in that spot. Some research even suggests putting a cleanup type there. In a practical sense, you're not likely to have a super power hitter available to lead off once you place these guys in the spots that need power more. But you sure want to have at least some power there. Weeks' recent two week sample, which coincides with his career numbers, makes him an excellent choice to lead off. And if the lineup is clicking, the Brewers have enough power elsewhere that they can afford to put him there.

Regress has to be used carefully, too. I sure as heck hope Billy Hall does some regressing.

Cameron has the best RBI/AB ratio on the team Basically, that ties in with what The Book says about the #2 hitter getting high leverage at bats and why it advocates one of the team's two best hitters batting there. On the other side of the coin, we have Braun hitting third. That's the hitter that comes to bat more often than anyone else with two out and nobody on base. Eleven of Ryan's thirteen homers have come with the bases empty. Samples are small, of course, and a lot can play into this, but one has to wonder how much each player's RBI total is affected by his spot in the order. As far as Kendall, I'd leave things alone. If the objective was to avoid double plays and there haven't been any, one would think that decision is working.

We have a state named New Mexico, but somehow we missed out on having a state named New Canada.

When windows programs don't include an uninstall option in their start menu folder. Then I have to go into the control panel and click a handful more times. Someone needs to create an operating system where all you have to do is drag an application icon and an (possibly) an application support folder to the trash. Oh, wait... there is one.

brought baseball back to Milwaukee That should include the 1967 sold out summer exhibition (Twins vs. White Sox?) and the '68-69 seasons as second home to the White Sox. And besides the failure to land an expansion team, there was the failed effort to buy the White Sox and move them to Milwaukee.

No choice now... (Sheets extension)

Mark's been talking about finding a starting pitcher as soon as he can. I don't believe he's said a thing about the off-season. -

Brian, you need to dig the 3TO shirts out of the depths of your hard drive. -

That is the face of a man. You mean the mane of a man. -
Somewhere along the line, members were promised a new Branyan thread should he be called up. Here it is: Russell "3TO" Branyan called up Gwynn sent down!

Oates' piece looks like a column. This is probably its regularly scheduled day.
-
Besides the Brewers, a number of original American League teams moved. The intent was to compete with the National League by placing teams in National League cities.
-
I noticed the story was pitched as a "blogger from BF.net". What am I missing? The Oates story mentions BadgerBlogger.
-
That's what I questioned; I was wondering if you remembered something that I missed. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif But I do concur that Hall's offensive performance last year could have easily been something considered by those sitting behind the front office's closed doors.
-
Tuesdays, adambr2 asked, "Is this not exactly what we signed [branyan] for? In case Hall struggled and we needed to consider a platoon?." I asked him whether or not this came from the club because it struck me as unusual that it would make comments about a signing being insurance against another player struggling.
-
Never? Like Ever? Lol. Using "Lol" to refute a legitimate point crosses the condescension line.
-
Has management actually said those things? Or have they come from the taped glasses and pocket protector-wearing nerds on baseball message boards?
