    The alternative is to edit or delete posts. Leaving a post sitting there 'as is' without commenting, editing, or deleting is an invitation for more of the same. Believe me, the mods use PMs a lot. Had this been a 'strike' situation, it would have been "required" to send one.

    Designated threads are now listed in the Major League Forum FAQ.

    unsanitary and TooLive, Please keep full lineup posts in the linuep thread. Thanks! http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

    Maybe we're making a bit of collective leap by thinking that a Parra callup is imminent. But I have to think that given Mass Haas' post, the Brewers are somewhat satisfied with the warmup issues. In the short term, I think a spot would have to 'open itself up' to accommodate Parra. But if he were called up, putting Manny in a 'Villanueva' or 'Gallardo' bullpen role would certainly be intriguing.

    I don't think you went too far down that road (http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif), but the thread is still headed that way. Again, please put detailed Chris Spurling discussion in the 'Spurling: How long do we need to suffer?' threead.
  6. 1992casey
    Aren't we supposed to assume a 'league average' split when samples are small? How would we determine that?
  7. 1992casey
    Let's use this thread to zero in on Manny Parra and use 'Spurling: How long do we need to suffer?' for any detailed discussion about Chris.

    Thanks for the quick input. That's what I was afraid of. I was just stabbing in the dark. I want to use an h2 tag because it's semantically perfect. I've run into several issues with IE's ability to style header tags; this is the only one I haven't 'overcome'. I think I'll have to accept big text in IE and call it 'acceptable degradation'.
  9. 1992casey
    In standards-compliant web browsers, all four of these code examples render identically (as they should): Not surprisingly, IE breaks item One. Do either item Two or item Three match the sample? Thanks in advance.

    JoeHova, when a moderator asks members to do something, please comply. If your comment is deemed OK, the next ten Gwynn comments have to be deemed OK. We already have a thread dedicated to discussing Gwynn.
  11. 1992casey
    Let's do everyone a huge favor and leave Gwynn out of this thread. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

    As most of you have probably noticed, jwill535 reported Drew Olsen's comnments in the locked thread that Tony will be recalled to replace Hall.
  13. 1992casey
    While the title is different, the content of this thread contains exactly the same debate as yesterday's Gwynn speculation thread. It's too bad a moderator didn't show up before there were 22 posts, but the Olson information should have been appended to the thread above. I'll do a title change on that one so discussion can remain in one place.

    Nix bats wrong handed, too.
  15. 1992casey
    I think you may see Corey in CF vs. lefties and Gross vs. righties.
  16. 1992casey
    As it stands, either Jenkins or Gross will need to start vs. lefties. Being another lefty, Gwynn doesn't address that situation at all. Even picking up a scrub that could be released if someone better came along would seem better than current organizational options. This is provided Billy goes on the DL, of course. As the 'Severity of Hall injury?' thread indicates, we're probably stuck with what we have through the weekend.

    Hitting Streaks?mlb.com This page offers lists of all kinds of 'feats', both via popup and in the left column.
  18. 1992casey
    These are the first two links I grabbed from a Google search for "major league baseball hitting streaks" (no quotes). 30+ Game Hitting Streaks (Baseball-Almanac.com) Hitting Streaks?mlb.com The mlb.com page offers lists of all kinds of 'feats', both via popup and in the left column. That's a great link. I'll have to get it into the Major League Forum FAQ.
  19. 1992casey
    Let's use this thread to keep track of what we know about Billy's injury, DL speculation, what we know about sprained ankles, etc. Let's use the Hall alternatives (Gwynn back up?) thread to discuss potential Hall replacements.
  20. 1992casey
    This is vent thread material. Feel free to copy and paste your posts if you'd like,.

    If this situation is going to last very long, Doug should probably consider dealing for someone.
  22. 1992casey
    We should be using the Gallardo and limiting his innings thread to debate the wisdom of that decision. For the sake of this thread, we should simply 'assume' that Yo will be in the rotation 'sometime'.
  23. 1992casey
    It's been a while since I gave the articles a thorough reading, but don't think that was Jeff's point at all. I think his main point is to show how the ERAs of #1, #2, etc. fell into place when compared to other teams. Along with that, he's assuring fans that they shouldn't necessarily be pushing the panic button when they see a #4 or #5 starter with a 5 ERA. In most cases, there's more that goes into aligning a rotation than simply 'who's better'. You'll see some factors listed in the Setting Rotation After Break thread. Keep in mind, too, that ERA isn't a very good stat for ranking pitchers. There's too much margin of error. Jeff was able to use it in his article because the samples were extremely large. If you want to have some fun with it, though, I guess you could look at current ERAs and note that our guys fit in approximately this way: Sheets #1 Capuano #2 Vargas: #3 Suppan #4 Bush #4 You've got to go well beyond ERA in making this evaluation, though. Ks, BBs, and previous seasons' stats go a long way.

    Here's some good stuff to consider when thinking about this topic. The articles help to statistically define what's #1, #2, etc. How Good Is Your #4 Starter? by Jeff Sackmann More Fun With Rotation Numbers by Jeff Sackmann Definitions of #1 starter, #2 starter, etc. (BF.net message board thread) Also, here's something Brett posted in the thread above. These numbers are 2006 averages (from Jeff's aritcle). http://tinypic.com/30vd3pl.jpg
  25. 1992casey
    Let's use this thread: Whats is Rickie's problem? Is he hurting or confused?. While the titles are different, both threads are headed down the same read as 'catch-all' Rickie threads. Feel Free to copy and paste your messages.
