    I would refrain from calling him an idiot. He's not stupid, he knows how much he's destroying his career/future income, but obviously he's not in the state of mind where he can correct his behavior. Addiction is a disease, and like his agent said in that article, this goes beyond baseball at this point. I hope he's able to make some positive changes.

    That bridge is not only burned, it's completely incinerated, to the point that it's hard to even recall that a bridge ever existed in the first place. Ben Sheets will not be a Brewer ever again.

    No, you don't sell when you're one game back in the division and leading in the Wildcard. The Brewers' record isn't an illusion, look at the run differential they're pretty close to where they should be at. I fully expect the pitching will get better through transactions and simply through regressing to career averages. I also fully expect J.J. will begin to hit like he's always hit, and Gamel will only improve. Make no mistake, they aren't average because of the last 3 weeks, but because they simply have average talent. There's nothing wrong with that in the regular season, you'll still win plenty of ball games, I'm just not sold it works in playoff bsaeball when you're facing the best teams in the league game after game. Just take a look at some of the recent Marlins/Cardinals teams, and even the Phillies from last year. You don't have to have the best talent to win the Series.

    That's awesome, Mass. Have a great time.

    Gamel seems to say that word that rhymes with truck after every unsuccessful at-bat.
  6. tyguy20204
    Yeah, it is very encouraging that they seem to be having some success, especially after the Mark Rogers saga kind of left a sour taste in the mouth (not that we ever got the full story on that one).

    Have you forgotten about all the Brent Brewer hyperbole?
  8. tyguy20204
    Well that's it folks.

    Rivera truly is having a terrible game.

    Despite what you may think, there do exist opinions different than yours, opinions that are equally as valid as any that you have posited. Just because a poster hasn't pitched or coached baseball - which is an assumption that you've so benevolently seen fit to share with us - doesn't make their opinion any less valid. Frankly, if coaching baseball makes a person wiser, or playing baseball makes a person wiser, someone needs to tell Dusty Baker and Joe Morgan, because they missed the memo. Anyways, I do agree with you that Parra's problems are a combination of mental and physical components. This is true of many things in life, not just sports. I don't mean to cherry pick, because in other posts you've admitted that some of Parra's problems can be attributed to a mental component, but I would definitely take issue with this statement. Yes, the final outcome of his pitching delivery is a physical thing, but it's the mental component that informs his delivery and causes the inconsistency. The only way there would not be a mental component involved is if he was struggling with an injury of some kind, and that doesn't seem to be the case. You really do seem to be underestimating the mental component, not just in baseball, but in life in general. Edit- Great post, Tbadder. Well put.

    Time to start the Chris Cody bandwagon.

    It was also a personal choice to judge someone negatively without explaining why. If your intention was to make a post so vague that it disqualified any need for response or discussion, congratulations, you succeeded. Why post something if it's not something you want to discuss? This is a forum, after all, why shouldn't you expect me to respond to your post? I hope this kid does pitch well, and I hope the Brewers do sign him. The organization needs all the talent it can get, whether the personality is abrasive or it isn't, which is something we wouldn't be able to judge from a quick interview anyway.
  13. tyguy20204
    Well, since you didn't explain yourself, I had to infer. I'm not a mind reader.
  14. tyguy20204
    I'm not sure there's anything wrong with him admitting that it all comes down to money. He's just trying to get the most that he can, and why shouldn't he, there aren't any guarantees after that first signing bonus.

    Nice job battlekow, and as a side note, your work compiling news articles on the draftees is very much appreciated.

    Gallardo's got to be the stopper tomorrow. If you're the ace, this is where you earn it.
  17. tyguy20204
    What a bleh game.
  18. tyguy20204
    Brewers will rally here in the ninth.
  19. tyguy20204
    They must be pretty confident they can sign him then, no?
  20. tyguy20204
    What does it matter if the MLB turns you down? Aren't they always turning everyone down, only for the MLB team to just ignore them and go ahead and do it? I'm thinking of the Tigers with Porcello, and the Dbacks with multiple players. Correct me if I'm wrong. Edit- Oh, I get it, turned down by the player. My mistake.
  21. tyguy20204
    Oh come on Trowe, you know what they mean. Only 4 of the earned runs can really be placed on Manny, and the three-run home-run was simply a HOF batter doing what he does.

    On the radar screen The reason Katin seldom is mentioned as a future Brewer is because he is a right-handed hitter and all-or-nothing type, something the club already has in abundance. Katin had drawn only nine walks in 178 at-bats while striking out 56 times. Melvin compared him to former Brewers slugger Rob Deer, prolific in hitting homers and whiffing. "That's probably what people say he is," said Melvin. "But this guy keeps hitting. He has hit at each level he has played, and he's got a plus arm. "He does get overlooked. If he continues to hit, at the end of the year, we've got to take a look at him. He's got power." Braun expects to see Katin in the majors at some point, if not with the Brewers. "Consistency has always been his issue," said Braun. "But when he's going good and centering the ball, he hits it as far and hard as anybody I've ever seen. He's actually a really good athlete for a big guy (6 feet 1 inch, 235 pounds). read more after jumping over http://www.jsonline.com/sports/brewers/47071842.html

    Now, I haven't seen every at bat of his, but I don't recall Gamel putting the first pitch into play too often...
  24. tyguy20204
    It was only Conan's first show and he was already way funnier than Leno ever was.

    Chalk this one up as a Macha loss.
