CV was lucky to get away with that last 0-2 pitch...I like the one before a lot better. What is it with some of these bad 0-2 pitches this year? -
FYI - Having no problem with the FSN out in LA. Maybe it's your local cable operator. Is it raining where you are too?
-
I'm developing a man crush on Counsell...never thought that would happen.
-
There's the cheap break we were looking for!
-
No doubt...we have to send that guy to Rickie Weeks' trainer. The outfielders probably move back a few steps when the pitcher comes up after him.
-
Looks like it's softball night in Milwaukee!!! Let's 10 run rule these guys before they do it to us.
-
How will that help Looper pitch better?
-
We were a big favorite yesterday and we'll be a dog tomorrow. Today is the key to taking the series. Need a good effort from Looper and Nolasco to keep struggling. Fish bullpen is fairly solid so we need to strike early...and often.
-
Congrats Robin...enjoy the ball!!! Nice touch on the second ball to the kids.
-
No doubt. They are scaring me a little more than the Cards. The Cards bullpen is still horrendous. They just can't hit at the rate they have been even if Pujols keeps up the MVP push. The Reds are tough. Their top 4 starters are solid, although they can be inconsistent they all have talent. Add in Owings bat and you have a pretty solid #5. Their backend of the pen is solid. Jay Bruce is a flat out stud too. I'm glad Dusty is their manager, but Jockety as their GM scares me.
-
I couldn't agree more on the bullpen usage. I think BA was alluding to the same thing when CV was in for the 7th. Use the best option in the highest leverage situation. None of this Yostian dogmatic "he's my 7th inning guy". Hats off to Macha.
-
Sure didn't expect Manny to put up a quality start after the first two innings. Poor Nelson...I think I saw his last hit. A 9th inning blast to win an exhibition game at Dodger Stadium. That was quite some time ago.
-
That second HR by Prince has to be his biggest blast of the year. He's had a bunch of warning track shots and line drive homers...nice to see the big mash.

2009 on track so far
SoCal Brew Crew Fan replied to SoCal Brew Crew Fan's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
This may be a good question for Ennder or rluzinski. Our defense also seems much better so far this year. Last year we gave up .41 unearned runs per game. This year we are at a clip of .21 unearned runs per game. I know it's a subjective statistic, but if our ERA is up .30 yet our RPG is only up .10, how much of this can be attributed to defense? -
2009 on track so far

Counsell's career OPS vs. Righties is .700 and he hasn't been there since 2005. He's currently at .967 vs. RHP. Last year was the first year Hall didn't exceed .700 OPS vs. RHP since 2004, although to Ennder's point he's not quite there this year either. The soft platoon may be the right path while Counsell is playing well, but it likely doesn't add much value over time or to the degree it did with 3TO when he was healthy. Getting the 3B OPS up .080-.100 this year over Hall's stats last year seems very doable. That has to lead to over 10 extra runs alone? -

I think we got the same Bill Hall pretty much, unfortunately~ Just curious Ennder, why do you feel that way? I'm not convinced he gets back to his huge year in 2006, but a better clip than 2007 or 2008 could certainly happen. His stats look a little more like 2005 than 2006 at this point. That gets us closer to replacement level which is a big improvement from last year. He had the lasix and it's the first year in a few that he returns to the same position. That has to help. Counsell has also been a solid sub at 3B. He's probably more likely to regress than Hall. -
I was doing a little benchmarking at the 20% mark for this year versus all of 2008. It was eerie how close we are to last year on an overall basis, yet we are getting there differently. Hitting - Last year we averaged 4.63 Runs/Game. This year we are at 4.94 Runs/Game. Pitching - Last year our ERA was 3.85, this year we are at 4.16. Interestingly we have picked up 50 runs on an annual basis in hitting and are on track to give up the same 50 back from pitching. Our record at 18-14 is on track for 91 wins...about the same as last year. Our schedule has been just a touch below average on current record. If we game weight our opponents...they have had a winning percentage of .493. We are also 9-7 both home and away. I'm curious if someone would take this to the next level and say where are we picking up and losing the runs on an individual basis. I have to think 3B is the biggest year over year improvement. Probably losing Sabathia is a good chunk of the pitching, although middle relief has had some early issues. I also wonder what areas of the lineup are just not sustainable. While Braun and Cameron may cool off a little, Hardy and Hart could pick up a chunk of that. Before the season, it seemed our pitching was likely to give up 30-40 more runs this year and the hitting would have to make up the difference to get back to 90 wins. So far they have.

"Visible altercations"
SoCal Brew Crew Fan replied to SeriesFinale's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
No kidding, I can't believe the nerve of that Cubs fan lady texting during a key moment in the game. -
Plenty of missed chances today. 2/3 not bad. Let's keep it going against the fish.
-
Get us to Braunie Corey!
-
Micah Owings just hit a 2 out HR on 3-2 pitch in bottom of 9th to tie it in Cincy.
-
Soto having a Listach-ian like ROY sophomore season.
-
Gotta happen 6th or 7th with Marmol available.
-
Why do I even bother watching a Cuzzi umpired game? Worst ump in baseball hands down and he hates the Brewers. It's like Brenly is behind the plate.
