Weaver imploded in the fifth. Final line: 4.7 IP, 4 H, 5 R, 5 ER, 4 BB, 6 K, 1 HR. Roffles. Silver lining is that he seems to have worked himself into game shape now.
I'm leaning towards David Manning, personally. I mean, Jeff Weaver sucks. DiFelice seems to be the Brewers version of Aaron Small. Hammond isn't ready, yet. I think the rotation will stay as is.
Yeah, maybe at the basketball program, but they'll go easy on the football team. I'm pretty sure they have to prove some sort of ties between the person giving the cash and the university in order to punish them severely, which they won't do. USC is a marquee school, so I just don't see them getting it too bad.
The problem is that you just don't see trades being made at this point of the season. The Brewers pretty much need to improve from within from now until July 31-ish to remain near contention to even be able to make that trade. I don't have any doubt that the Cardinals will fall off pretty soon and the Brewers will be in second place, but after that, I'm not so sure that the Cubs won't run away and hide. I just hope he doesn't trade for a middle reliever again.
I haven't heard anyone from the Brewers mention that. In fact, I think Gwynn, Kapler and Gross all playing CF during the Cameron suspension without Corey Hart playing CF once speaks volumes. Actually, I think Melvin or Ash mentioned this at one of those winter warm up things. I think that it's the way to go, and that Cameron's option just gets declined after this season if the team feels comfortable with LaPorta being ready. I sure as heck don't want a slap-hitter like Gywnn or The Tropical Depression playing CF everyday.
I agree totally with Ennder's last paragraph. Yo's injury is a killer. I do think the offense will come around in a little bit, and be just fine, and I think the bullpen is pretty solid, but it's going to just get worn out because of the rotation.
