    Then who starts on Sunday?

    I think doing it that way is sensible, if there has to be a closer an older guy that can still pitch one inning, like Hoffman, is a good way to do it. It gives him a defined role, so he can have his ancient http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif body ready to go, he presumably knows when he needs a day off, etc. Last season, with Gagne, would have been the same sort of situation, if he had been able to do the job. I don't know if Hoffman would be as good as he has been, if he were being used whenever it was felt he was the best option, like the rest of the bullpen.

    Florida and Minnesota...must be something about playing in football stadiums.

    The Marlins must have the highest ratio of TV viewers to attendance...if they counted only actual people in the park for attendance. Brewers TV audience is probably about double the average attendance, while Marlins is what maybe 10-20 times the number of people actually in the park. I remember seeing a figure of about 30,000 households for the Brewers a few years ago, if that recollection is correct they have doubled since then.

    Still a good deal at $14, I just find adding fees to some modes of purchase to be obnoxious...and yes, I paid the Brewers $2 to allow me to print at "home", rather than paying them $4 to mail tickets (those charges are per order, not per ticket). Does it cost the Brewers nothing to man the ticket booths, where one can (inconveniently) buy without fees?

    I got in right away, about 2 minutes after 9...and was excited that I had gotten the two in second row of section 228 for Thursday. I was almost done before I realized the sun issue. I started over and got back in some time later, I found that if I clicked on "choose different seats" it typically flipped back and forth between RF and LF side. Ended up with two in row 11 of 207...so maybe 50 feet further away, but in shade if roof is open. Of course, the $10 tickets ended up being more like $14 with the garbage fees they add on.

    Why would you consistently wear out your closer in a game that would almost certainly result in a win (3 run lead in 9th)? Of course, the only answer is because he will get credit for a "save".

    Inning might have been over with no runs...Prince could have gotten a DP and Hardy could have gotten the third out. But still, why Julio.
  9. jeffy
    Thanks for helping to keep the Cubs down, Mark Loretta...2 run double and a nice defensive play on a ball that could have been a double.

    Winning 60% projects to 97 wins, actually.

    I prefer the mute button to either http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/tongue.gif

    The double switch also let Stetter stay in for Bruce...not sure why his is in beyond that though.
  13. jeffy
    Also may avoid your pitcher having to run the bases. Having the pitcher bunt is hardly evidence of too much bunting.

    When they showed the replay it looked to me like maybe he just stumbled a bit because he caught a cleat during his delivery. However, the announcers said they did not see anything, so I might have "mis-seen" that.

    I just discovered that you can click on the "replies" column and sort by number of replies to determine if this is so. The shortest regular season one I saw had 15 replies...5/2/09 Looper vs. Haren (a game I happened to attend, actually). If not for the 6-7 posts generated due to error on the line-up at Yahoo and ESPN we might have "beaten" that tonight. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/laugh.gif

    He did, Hall is not in the 9th spot, that's why it wasn't a double switch.
  17. jeffy
    Cincinatti has been a little bunt (for hit) happy tonight.
  18. jeffy
    It wasn't a double switch, he just wants Hall in for defense.
  19. jeffy
    Yeah, at least Cueto has had to throw a lot of pitches after getting the first two outs of the game on 3 pitches.
  20. jeffy
    Money probably comes first but Texas is also about as close to home as he can be in MLB, without having to bat.
  21. jeffy
    Did you run into that attitude at the major league level...guys who would rather lose, so that they could be done with the season, rather than make the playoffs?
  22. jeffy
    I agree with you there, but this is not what Zambrano did in this case. This is not about "celebrating the wrong way". He is just unable to control his anger. Do you like guys who throw balls around the field in their anger ala Milton Bradley and Zambrano? Guys who punch their teammates and smash up equipment with baseball bats? How about if Zabrano had hit his pitching coach with a bat on the back swing, while going after the Gatorade machine, would that be a cool way to "celebrate"?
  23. jeffy
    You are not implying any connection between those two statements are you? It's not like Texas would have any reason to sign him before then, since he will not be pitching until sometime after that date passes anyway. He has been hanging around the Rangers/Maddux, though: http://rangersblog.dallasnews.com/archives/2009/05/ben-sheets-at-ballpark.html

    The other side of this is pitching is way more important than anything else. A starting pitcher is going to throw 80-120 pitches in a start, this is much more significant than a position player going to bat 4-5 times per game and fielding a few balls. From the team's perspective, isn't having to juggle the rotation more of a problem than a missing one position player for a couple days? A three game suspension for a position player may also include a game where he would have been given a day off...or he won't get some other day off that he otherwise might have gotten.

    As is what he has done in his other 11 major league at bats, which is why I said I'll continue to wait and see how he actually performs.
