1992casey

We think of four "main" uniforms in the Brewers' history, generally from 1970–77, 1978–93, 1994–99, and 2000–present. But year to year tweaks are common for all teams. Stripes on the sleeves change, logo placement changes, commemorative logos are added for a season, etc. In the early era, the team went to double-knits. In the middle of the Ball & Glove era, the team ditched the double-knits and changed the road uniforms from blue to gray. The Brewers recognized that the 1994 uniforms weren't very popular and made significant changes early on. Caps have changed frequently throughout the team's history. Except for alternates, the current era of Brewers uniforms has been as stable as any. There've been few changes to the home whites and road grays. It happened. When Ron Wolf first came to Green Bay, one of the first things he tried to do was change the color schematic to Notre Dame colors. That didn't go over well. Yeah, the dark green and "real" gold didn't go over. But it did show up on merchandise like sweatshirts. Still, the Packer uniforms have had a significant number of tweaks since the team settled into green and gold mustard yellow and introduced the "G" logo around 1960. Uniform numbers have been on the sleeves and shoulders. Stripes on the sleeves and shoulders have changed. At times, the "G" logo has appeared in the jerseys. The one constant has been the "G" logo; that hasn't changed.

Tonight is Tommy Lasorda's 66th wedding anniversary.

Garcia has more hits than he's given up.

This seems to sum it up.

I'd guess it has more to do with Rivera than Villar.

Anderson continues to display zero tolerance (brewers.com) The sub-headline states, "Brewers right-hander's ERA at 0.00 after 6 scoreless vs. Cardinals." The runs were unearned, but that doesn't make the innings scoreless.

I didn't get the Chicken Little analogy right away, although in retrospect, I should have. I think Paul and possibly others may have missed it too. Directly mentioning the sky falling — or linking the words Chicken Little to a page about the story — would have likely taken the edge off.

I'm not the first to think that. http://metsapple.blogspot.com/2011/03/nieuwenhuis-official-beer-of-new-york.html Way to go, Domingo!

Nieuwenhuis would be a good name for a beer.

7 pitch inning for Blazek. Too bad one of them turned into a home run.

I think there's X amount of time built in for managers to decide to challenge. 30 seconds maybe? They used to take quite a bit longer.

2. They are introducing an entirely new format for the ball and glove logo with the Mother's, Memorial & Father's Day jersey. Those jerseys use the current Brewers script with a ball and glove logo patch on the arm. This combination has not been on any Brewer jersey that I am aware of. As there's a common thread among all teams, I wonder how much say the Brewers had in the holiday jerseys. Mother's Day jerseys feature pink, Memorial Day jerseys feature camouflage, and Father's Day uniforms feature powder blue. Independence Day uniforms feature stars and stripes (mainly stars), with teams having the choice of how they implement blue or red. It's good that teams have some color flexibility. In the past, there were years where the Brewers wore predominantly red and the Cardinals wore predominantly blue. That wasn't right. The Jays' uniforms have maple leafs instead of stars. Since the All Star uniforms aren't worn in the game itself, I think there's some room to go outside the box. Actually, I think you can say that about all jerseys that are only worn for one day.

The writing on the gray road uniforms doesn't show up from any distance. It's even a problem when looking at the pitcher from the vantage point of second base. To see anything, you need a closeup and good lighting.

The D'Backs' home uniforms are strange, too. They might be a fit in the minors or as one of those "future" uniforms we'd see from time to time a decade ago. Or they might work as fan merchandise. But they don't look right on major league players.

Whoever omitted him might have simply forgotten to include him.

We're fine with this, so go ahead. I've moved this thread to Off Topic, though, so it can have greater visibility.

Bill Schroeder is proud (his word) of the fact that he's pronouncing Chequamegon correctly. The problem is that he isn't. The "qu" is silent.

BA says that Diego Edmonds is working as a Cardinals broadcaster.

I don't know how sophisticated the analysis might be, but Roenicke talked about it, and Counsell's talked about it. Basically, if the pitcher's having an easy go of it, he can throw more pitches and more innings. If he's having a tougher time, he should be pulled earlier. Jungmann was pulled after 80 pitches the other day because he worked hard to get there. If a starter isn't allowing base runners, staying out of the stretch, and not having to throw his fastball at full speed, leaving him in a little longer than anticipated shouldn't hurt.

I'm not concerned about Coilin rotting yet, but with his OBP history, I'd love to see him play.

I think it's fair to say that Stripling was fatigued. And it's smart on his part to know that it wasn't prudent for him to continue. There are still pitchers who like to cover things like that up.

26 walks in 6 games.
