  1. Not sure how a below average defensive C who hasn't posted a .710+ OPS in any of the past 3 years and has an OPS of .542 this year can be considered a good move. yes his BABIP is low this year but his BB's have also gone way down which generally is a bad sign.
  2. Braun is due up next inning isn't he...
  3. Cubs board is reporting they have traded for Kendall. That has to help our chances of winning the division.
  4. Well he has a .392 BABIP which he won't keep up, drop that to .330 or so and he's only hitting .290 or so which is probably reasonable. His ISO is actually lower than it was in the minors this year and not that much off the pace of his 2006 minor league stats so the power could easily be for real.
  5. I love Braun, he is my mancrush.
  6. Bush has historically had problems with the 1st inning so I'm always holding my breath for it.
  7. This is the real problem. If Sheets had been hurt earlier in 2005 still missed the same number of starts and not missed any of 2006 he wouldn't be injury prone anymore. For some reason the fact the injury bridged the end of one year and the start of another makes a huge difference to some people. Over 2005/2006 only 46 pitchers averaged 180 IP per year out of those 1 retired and 12 have been on the DL this year. Minor injuries are just a part of pitching so an injury like this is going to happen to a good 25-30% of all pitchers in baseball each year. Sheets has still had one real injury in his career so there is no way I'd call him Injury prone. Injury prone is Burnett, Harden, Prior, Wood and maybe even add Carpenter now. I mean is Peavy injury prone? He's missed starts due to an injured hand, sinus infection, shoulder, ankle, torn retina, rib, shoulder, hand, finger, sore throat, flu and groin since 2005. He still had 405 IP between 2005/2006 but he's had just about every thing imaginable get hurt somehow and yet doesn't have the label.
  8. I'm all for any sensible plan that gives a leg up to the little guy and limits the yanks. A salary cap isn't sensible though so I wouldn't go in for that. World wide draft would be nice for sure.
  9. I'll gladly blame him, this is a baseball injury that has absolutely nothing to do with his other injury. This easily could have happened to any player on the team, its not somehow caused by Sheets being injury prone (as if one major injury in 6.5 years is prone in the first place). Capuano has had more injuries than Sheets over the past 5 years and yet we didnt't have to hear jokes about him when he got hurt. There just is no need for a comment like that.
  10. Who cares what his average is if he's being productive with walks and power. Seems like you are way too wrapped up in his AVG to me. If he hits .270 with a .350 OBP and a .750 OPS he's doing just fine as a 2B and while its not a step up from last year its understandable since he's hurt.
  11. Not your fault, I worded it kind of weird I think.
  12. Joe Sheehan posted his NL second half report and said the Cubs will take the division. Take that with a grain of salt as he doesn't like the Brewers and has basically ragged on them all season. www.baseballprospectus.co...cleid=6456 I find that particularily funny since the Cubs pitchers all pitched way outside their expected ERA in the first two months and the Brewer pitchers are largely getting hit by flukey BABIP's and LOB% though Capuano has been legitimately bad lately.
  13. Some of it is playing well, some of it is facing bad teams, some of it is just luck. Today they got out of a couple big jams and Scott just missed a 3 run shot that would have probably cost them the game. There were 2 very hard hit linedrives right at Aramis with the bases loaded. They got HR's out of Pagan and Theriot which is like us getting it from graffy and counsell. Sometimes the balls just bounce your way.
  14. Luckily I work in a hospital because my heart almost stopped that inning.
  15. an insurance run would make Ender happy.
  16. Weird, they don't want to face Braun and his 1.899 OPS against lefties with two on base.
  17. A go ahead triple by Mench just adds to the weirdness, heh.
  18. Glad Suppan proved me wrong http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif .
  19. Suppan shouldn't pitch to Hawpe in my opinion, regardless of what happens with Atkins. Hawpe kills righties, lefties kill Suppan.
  20. Takes two teams to have a playoff race, of course I'm going to be interested in what is going on in the cubs game. Nice job Hart, nice to see us score some runs with 2 outs.
  21. Cubs take a 6-5 lead on a HR by Lee, lame.
  22. This probably belongs in the vent thread but I simply cannot stand the word "earnies". Every time I hear an announcer say he gave up 2 earnies I want to scream.
  23. Berkman 2 run double, 5-0 Astros... I like the sound of that. To be fair Cook has been a pretty decent road pitcher this year, he's just been horrible at home.
  24. Players who were in the all star game really didn't get any rest. Counsell has hit better than Hardy since May 15th so its really not that big a deal. Weeks is quite obviously strugging and Estrada sitting is just normal.
  25. Sad to say it but right now Counsell/Graffanino are both upgrades in the lineup and pretty much anyone is an upgrade over Gwynn, I expect a lot of runs today.
