    I can we would have a 12 game win streak if we had even an average defensive ss. The Wednesday game at home with two outs and nobody on in I believe the 11th inning Holliday hits a little dribbler up the middle that 25 out of 30 short-stops in mlb get the out but Betancourt doesn't. Holliday steals 2nd, Berkman drives him in and we lose the game. His defense has jeporadized 2 of the last 4 games we have played against the Cardinals.

    danzig sorry I have never been fan of the we can't hit, so lets hope we get more hits approach. I admit though the stolen base is becoming a lost art. As far as other people mentioning you can't steal first, my counter argument is in the blog. Teams like the Padres and Rays have much worse obp. as a team and still are in the top 5 for stolen bases.

    Hey guys, I just blogged about how upset I am with the Brewers lack of a running game, despite all of Roenicke's talk this spring training that it would be more aggressive. Its called "Roenicke Needs to be a Man of His Word". Please check it out and let me know if you have a response/feedback. http://bennylips.wordpres...ecome-a-man-of-his-word/ (EDIT: Replaced top-level blog link with permalink to post. That'll make it easier to find after more blog entries are added. --1992)

    Hey Guys, here is my blog on the Braun signing. I believe this extension was pre-mature and I feel like I provided some solid rationale as to why. Let me know what you think!http://bennylips.wordpress.com/2011/04/22/braun-over-brains/

    Hey guys, I am an intern at Inside Wisconsin Sports and my job is to write feature stories predominatly about high school athletes/teams for our website. I am just curious what you think some of these stories should be about for the upcoming baseball/softball season? It could be anything you think is interesting enough for a story. I am especially looking for any players or coaches that have or had overcome big challenges or obstacles in their careers. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

    Prince for Felix Hernandez would probably make the most sense. Jack Z and Melvin obviously have a good relationship and they are looking for some meat behind Ichiro. Im not sure if I would want it, but this would seem most likely. Not sure if their fa years are lined up, so if Felix is done a yr early it would probably take another prospect like Aumont to get the deal done. If they do pull the trigger on this I would want holes like Kendall and Hardy replaced, because a line-up without Fielder could not afford so many automatic outs.

    That has nothing to do with the organization, that is all Mike Cameron.

    Pena is one of the better set-up men in baseball. He should of been their closer last yr, but arz like the cubs believe in using their best reliever in the most stressful innings, not just for the 9th inning. excellent trade for the Chi soxs, because if they keep there pen together Linebrink or Dotel in the 7th, Pena in the 8th, and Jenks in the 9th will make it extremly difficult for opponents to score late against them. Arizonia has Gutierrez in the wing, so its not a bad deal for them either.

    The only problem is theyll probably land the worst record this year too.
  10. Hart Of Milwaukee
    it was awful today. we only got Macha and he had to reach over the fence. Then the worst part is before any of the real good players showed they made us cut the ropes we made for dropping items, so we left because we basically knew we had no chance. good luck to you guys because quite frankly your going to need it. I doubt youll see me waste my time out there again this yr!!
  11. Hart Of Milwaukee
    Another big mistake, know the players name, im assuming you mean Lucroy.http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif It is fine to ask for any reasonable inscription or placement but just ask once, if they say no they say no.
  12. Hart Of Milwaukee
    I know its an awful selection. How about Ben Revere MWL MVP??
  13. Hart Of Milwaukee
    If you have a game used bat with one players name on it signed by another it only has sentimental value. No monetary value unless you are able to wipe off the sig and get it signed by the actual player that used it. Itd be like me signing my name on a check endorsed to Tony Gwynn JR., there isn't anybody that is going to cash it!!
  14. Hart Of Milwaukee
    What Melvin did well is utilize this teams flexibility for 2009. If Gallardo and Parra can hold up theres an abundance of prospects we have to acquire another top of the rotation starter and if our starting pitching falters Cameron, Hoffman, Looper, Kendall are all in possible contract years and can be moved pretty easily at the deadline if this team falters. Whether this team wins or loses were still in a position for long term success.

    Agreed BHF, im getting sick how people think if you have a binder of baseball cards your a seller. If someone is going to get Braun on a card they have no intention of selling. If I was Ryan Braun and I saw you with a Miami Jersey and especially a roy bat Id assume right off the bat you were selling my product. Im not trying to scold you or anything, but usually if I go to a players lot or a hotel I have 3-4 major league baseballs and a small binder full of cards sitting in my back pack. I'm pretty sure when most players look at this theyll assume im a seller. Just because you view yourself as a "true fan" doesnt mean the player does all he sees is two big ticket items in your hands. The g-robs as much as I hate to say it arent the ones ruining autograph collecting. It is just flat numbers there are so many more collectors especially in Milwaukee then there used to be. If it was just g-rob at the players lot every day id bet those players would sign for him every day. Im not defending g-rob's tactics here, but theres a reason why a lot of new collectors hate g-rob for the simple reason he treats them like crap because he doesnt want them there, because he has figured out that the huge growth of attendance by fans at players lots and hotels are what is cutting into his profit.

    yeah, i do. not looking for a ton but would need something decent in return. http://i279.photobucket.c...ned%20Photos/100_5605.jpg

    Ill provide a link at the bottom, thank you very much Brian and the brewerfan staff for publishing this article. I'd also like to thank Jonathan, he truly was a class act to work with and I look forward to seeing him play in the years to come. Let me know what you think of the article and also let me know if you have any questions or concerns. Thanks, Ben Lippert http://www.brewerfan.net/...wArticle.do?articleId=288

    anderson enterprises
  19. Hart Of Milwaukee
    I think your right cuz it is slightly over value for Prince, but they are not going to trade lots of young pitching for a long term solution at 1st, because they have one in Lars Anderson right now.
  20. Hart Of Milwaukee
    does anyone else feel Macha is trying to allude trying to win w/out Mulder/Hudson to trying to win w/out Sabathia/Sheets. I dont know it is probably smart not to get anyone's hopes up I guess.

    I do not hate Gwynn , billyhallfan will tell you I am actually one of his few supporters. He could be an average cf , but I just do not see it in Milwaukee. I just do not see how you can rationalize Gwynn replacing Weeks as the lead-off hitter when all Gwynn has is less power and maybe marginally more speed. I am not advocating Weeks as the lead-off hitter in fact Id like to see him hit 7th, but if you have problems with Weeks as the lead-off hitter, then there is no way you can advocate Gwynn for replacing him. There is no stats right now that you can use to support this theory, because with Gwynn people see the name on the back of the jersey quite often, instead of figuring out is he actually the best solution for the name on the front of the jersey. In this case 5 guys can not be asked to produce runs, thats way to much pressure that is not only unwarranted but just plain dumb. In the playoffs a lack ofproduction from our 6,7,8 really hurt us and if we let these 3 guys play I see the same thing happening next yr.
  22. Hart Of Milwaukee
    Gwynn, Kendall, and Escobar can not be in the same line-up. You can only have so many medium range obp. guys with no power in a line-up. I dont think either should be our starting cf next yr, but Brantley if he is still with the organization would be much more staticially justifi led for starting in CF then Gwynn.
  23. Hart Of Milwaukee
    Sorry, I did that in a hurry, send Slama to be the AAA closer and let Jeffress progress in AA/AAA(hopefully end of the year) as a starter. Let Carlos be the set-up man and re-sign Gagne to a 1yr 5million $ contract.
  24. Hart Of Milwaukee
    I like Mike Cameron but I feel if we put the money he would recieve around 10 million $ for Edgar Renteria the money would be better. We could move Hardy to 3rd which would give us a good left side, and clear an easy path for Escobar in 2010. I know Renteria had a bad yr but hes only two years removed from a .391 obp. 1. Edgar Renteria SS 2. Mat Gamel RF/LF 3.Ryan Braun RF/LF 4.Prince Fielder 1B 5. JJ Hardy SS 6. Hart CF(needs to bounce back) 7. Rickie Weeks 2B 8. Jason Kendall C 9. P Bench 1. Mark Loretta (Sign as free agent let him compete with Weeks) 2. Gabe Kapler 3. Mike Rivera 4. Bill Hall 5. Brad Nelson Rotation: 1.Sign Dereck Lowe as top priority Sheets as a #2 option if he doesnt like Milwuakee 2. Yovanni Gallardo 3. Manny Parra 4. Jeff Suppan 5. Seth McClung Bullpen 1. Torres cp 2. Jeremy Jeffress has the stuff to help in the big leagues in a "Joba" type role (I know he wont be Joba though) 3. Mitch Stetter 4. Brian Shouse 5. David Riske 6. Luis Pena 7. Anthony Slama (Twins RP prospect if we still have Taylor Green trade him for Slama and Rob Delaney of the Twins.) Trade Dave Bush for a prospect!

    This would be awesome. It would be really cool if this was the case for the T-Rats and Snappers to play a day game before a night game of the twins and Brewers at Miller Park. But just having the Brewers in Appleton would be enough for me!
