I think it was his arm that was always questioned.

There's a guy playing for Daytona named Rock Shoulders.

I mean even if this early stretch is "luck" and they go .500 the rest of the way they still end up at about 86 wins. So at this point, you sort of have to think of the Brewers as a mid 80s - low 90 win type of team. -
One of those for the Brewers too
-
Really needed Peralta to go deep in this one after the 14 inning affair. Nice of him to step up....also nice he could pitch against the anaemic Padre offense.
-
Jeez Fiers has been unhittable this year.
-
Bucks have pick #31 as well so essentially they have two first rounders. I'd be more than fine with any one of the big four plus someone like Patric Young with that first second round pick.
-
Many posters I know have been around these boards since Miller Park was first opened for business. I don't suspect many will be leaving. I think he means most of us will be dead of old age.
-
I don't think there's any location they are willing to consider but downtown and I'm guessing it's going to be on that vacant lot where the old freeway used to be.

Other teams' fans' perspective on the Brewers

Grantland has them 10th: http://grantland.com/features/mlb-power-rankings-the-30-twins-mariners-brewers-rays-giants/ -
Wow, that would have been a great signing.
-
3 more wins to free hamburgers!
-
Obviously lots of baseball to play but even if the Brewers go 75 - 76 the rest of the way, they finish with 84 wins. If they play slightly better than .500 which is certainly doable they could push 90 wins for sure.

I didn't want to get into it but there are a ton of assumptions in those ERA numbers. Frankly, I think a 4.00 ERA for Thornburg for a whole season is pretty optimistic whereas a 3.80 ERA for Estrada is probably what you can expect. The point being, Estrada will most likely outperform Thornburg over the course of a season. A team in contention puts the better pitcher out there. Or at the very least, it's a defendable decision.
-
He's an upper 3 ERA pitcher, I said that was "good", if you want to use "darn good" that's fine, but if Thornburg is a 4.0 ERA pitcher, what exactly are we losing? .2 runs per game....so basically a run every 6 starts or so. If the Brewers were projected to lose 90 games I might be inclined to agree with you, but as it stands they have the best record in baseball and their pitching has been outstanding. Having Thornburg in the pen isn't a tragedy and over the course of the season probably makes the starting rotation better.
-
No matter how good Estrada is doing it could make him expendable. I would do a packaged deal at mid-season and trade Estrada, Nelson, and HellWeg for a big time 3B man that is controlled for at least 3 years or longer. Estrada is about to get very expensive. Then I'd just move Thornburg into the rotation. In the off-season I'd trade Ramirez and a prospect for a top SP prospect for depth. Ramirez if Healthy will have a great year this year and will be worth a lot in the next off-season. Roache will fill 1B the year after and we will have zero holes to fill. Just re-sign Gallardo. He will sign a team friendly deal I'd bet. The way Lohse is pitching and the type of pitcher he is we could extend him 2 more years with an option and he will pitch just fine. We need a good 3B man, and have to think about replacing Ramirez. Yeah, as much as I admire Estrada he is past 30 years old and cheap. Trading him this off season makes perfect sense to me.

Hello, Mr. Tyrone Taylor (sort of)! http://www.baseballamerica.com/minors/prospect-hot-sheet-april-11-joc-pedersons-wide-ranging-tool-set-plays-at-triple-a/ Did we have a thread for this last year? Mass, feel free to move somewhere else if this is redundant.
-
I don't think you're giving Estrada enough credit. He is a darn good pitcher. He K's almost a batter per inning and walks only 2 or 3 per 9 innings. He's been lights out since August of last year and a team that is in contention would start him over Thornburg no question. It's a nice problem to have and Tyler in the pen is nice insurance when an injury occurs.

I Saw the Devil - Korean revenge flick about a secret service agent whose wife is brutally murdered by a serial killer. The hero goes on the hunt and after disposing of a few suspects, he catches the killer....with over an hour left in the movie. That's when things get disturbing. The movie asks the question "When does the hero become the villain?". Stylized and gory, this is an intense thriller and certainly not for the squeamish. (the killer is played by the main guy in Old Boy in case anyone has seen that gem). Very good if you're in the mood. Available on Netflix instant download and Amazon Instant Video The Snowtown Murders You'd think after seeing a semi disturbing movie like I Saw the Devil, I'd move on to lighter fare like Anchorman 2. But instead I watched a movie even more disturbing. This Australian film documents the activities of John Bunting, the worst serial killer in Australian history. This is not your normal serial killer. He had help....lots of it. Including from a 16 year old boy that he "trains" to be a man. Only one really brutal kill scene which was disturbing not necessarily due to gore but because of the situation...and the fact that it went on for like 10 minutes. IMO, the direction was superb and the acting outstanding. They were not afraid to hold on a character's reaction for what seemed like minutes in order to build tension. Again, thumbs up if you're in the mood for a sparse and disturbing murder flick. Available on Netflix instant download and Amazon Instant Video.

Where are the best wings in the Milwaukee area?
homer replied to brwrsfan's topic in Off-Topic Forum
When BW3 opened in Madison they told me Weck was the type of bun they used for the burgers. -
I prefer 89 or 144 since both are part of the Fibonacci Sequence. So either you leave the game in the 7th inning, or you go until you drop.

Hey my name is in green too! Neato. -
Tyrone Taylor is a doubles machine. Two more so far tonight.

I thought the same thing.

This must make Buster Olney very sad and for that I am grateful.
