I have no problem giving Glover a shot as he has looked descent. Until he proves otherwise I am fairly confident in getting 6 innings or so out of him for now. I know he hasn't produced well, but in his small sample last year he seemed ok.

thanks for the updates! It is much appreciated.

I gave him a Q for gord ash for Gord to let us know anything and everything about Hernan including his versatility in the field for positions as well. I have no audio though, so any info if they discuss it would make my day...

I hate to hope that any brewer does bad, but if there was one that I would not mind playing badly it would be Durrington as he is an absolute waste. I would hate to see him called up this year because we may need an "emergency catcher" and a "fun australian" in the clubhouse. His brainfarts on the basepaths will hopefully knock some sense into the coaches.

Not that you directed the question at me, or if it belongs in the in game thread, but I graduated with a girl whose dad was the batboy for the Milwaukee Braves in 56 or 57... How's that for an experience??

Weeks with a triple to score Krynzel again. 3-1 Overbay follows with a sac fly to make it 4-1

ata baby Branyon... RBI triple to score Krynzel!!! 1-0

oh dear...

wow, I have kids that I coach with better fielding abilities than Grieve...

I dont know if I would have traded him this summer. He was lights out and unless we saw a cant miss deal there was no reason to part with one of the better relievers in baseball last year. I do thinks its stupid that we keep "giving him a chance" this year. That needs to stop but as far as that offseason being dumb, well, its easy to say that now.

out at the plate to end the inning and down by four!!! GUTSY by the third base coach, or just plain stupid.

I made it down for some of the game tonight and the line score probably speaks for itself. Lots of walks, and sloppy infield play and outfield play. First off with the bases loaded and one out in a 0-0 game Prince fielded the ball and threw home for the force out. His throw barely pulled Esparagoza off the plate. Gwynn also dropped a deep fly ball on the run (very catchable) Kind of looked like he dogged it and could have brought the 2nd hand in to secure it. I was not impressed with Carpenter. Mostly for the fact that he really did not control himself on the mound. He showed the umpire up multiple times in his 3 innings, including a moment where he started walking off the field. Enough about the Depressing stories. Before the game was great because Prince, Gwynn, and Weeks all walked out to the batting cage and took some BP and also signed some autographs. It looked like Prince and Gwynn are trying to show him the ropes. I was really impressed with Weeks in the cage. QUICK QUICK QUICK hands. I also did not think he was as built as he was. In all the pictures that I saw he looked a lot smaller. He must have been in the weight room because he really did look put together. He was very nice to fans with signing autographs. In one case as he was walking off the field in warmups, a gentleman asked for his autograph and I kid you not, Rickie was 50 ft away from him walking to the dugout, he stopped what he was doing and jogged over and signed the guys ball, and jogged on back. Maybe he is trying to be friendly and fit in at first... Or maybe he is a truly nice citizen! Even with the horrible game I recommend anybody getting a chance to go see Rickie, as he will probably carry on a conversation with you even. I would not be suprised.

Im all for the winning as many games as possible and at the end of the season seeing where we are in the standings for a #1 pick. I could care less right now. You play the game to win, not to be relieved that maybe we can get a #1 pick. If anything I would want this team winning as many games as they can obviously and finishing strong so we an perhaps not be as much of a pitiful team and attract some possible free agents. When we start hoping we lose to get the #1 pick that is where there is a serious problem.

I agree on the first out of the inning at 3rd, but then i look at osik and clayton coming up behind him... still tough to do for the first out of the inning. Whats up with sheets these last two starts? Its gotta be the beard.

If he would stick to more game analysis he would be more effective. I do think he has knowledge about the game, being a major league catcher you have to probably be the smartest guy on the field. He doesn't roll off stats well or information about players, he needs to leave that to Darron and maybe the statistics guys to hand him the information.

i think harris was the one that got after sanchez and izzy for laughing... i dont blame him and i consider that leadership because its taking a stand and taking pride in playing hard even though the wins were not coming in.

I try not to overly critique managers and coaches because there is a reason that they are in the dugout and im drinking a beer on my couch. Anywho, has the bunt nearly completely been forgotten? As Royce walked up to the plate I was hoping that we would see a bunt with hitters Kiesch, young, and Pods coming up after him. Low and behold another double play for Royce. Whats new. I rarely see any bunts on this team, and if there are some, it is usually our 1 and 2 hitters trying for a base hit, and not a sacrifice. Any thoughts?

Agreed, But how about this brewcrew! Looks like they needed this break and are ready. Hopefully we can hold this big lead this time..
