  1. Ryan Braun sure doesn't practice much patience at the plate does he? He's like Vladmir Guerrero....willing to swing at anything.
  2. I don't feel like we need to win EVERY game, but it sure would be nice to win his first game...
  3. My only thought on that play was whether or not Ricky had the ball in his right hand. I couldn't tell from the camera angles they gave us, but if he did, then the runner should be safe.
  4. Gotta love it! Put your head down and trot RB!
  5. Skip Bayless predicted that CC will throw ~5 innings and give up 5 earned. Naturally, since Skip is an idiot, this means that CC will have a great game!
  6. Ha, told you I was being a noob. Thanks!
  7. Why does Doug Melvin insist on calling him CC "Sabaythia" instead of "Sabathia"? Crazy canuckers....
  8. Just a quick question. I have noticed other people are able to get quotes into those nice boxes and then can reply to them. Every other forum I have been on, this is accomplished by simply clicking reply to a specific post. Here, however, if i do this, it does not create the box and instead I am forced to Copy+Paste (and italicize) the words. I know I am probably just doing something stupid, but any help would be appreciated. Thanks
  9. 16-11. Simply based off of our current winning % on the road and at home multiplied by the number of games we have at both home and on the road.
  10. Backtracking a bit in this game: I just watched Dillon's homerun on Gameday and of course, the two Brewer fans the Arizona telecast showed cheering were gastrointestinal bypass candidates. Nothing like perpetuating the stereotype. Haha, I noticed this as well. Those were a couple of big boys!
  11. I think it is time to send Hall to Nashville for a couple of weeks to discover his swing.. bring up Nelson for a cup of coffee.. Agreed. He needs to figure something out, thats for sure. He looks lost up at the plate....
  12. That ball was literally above Rivera's head.....what an UGLY swing.
  13. Doesn't it seem like we always score at least 5 or 6 runs when we have the JV squad in?
  14. What a joke. I hate how this team can't string hits together.
  15. I'm fine if Bush is going to give up a few hits and a few runs. My problem lies with him not doing his job as a pitcher and backing up home plate when a runner is tagging. Thats a mental mistake and there is no excuse in this game for that.
  16. What the hell is Bush doing. The pitcher HAS to back that play up...
  17. I'll probably check the IGT on my blackberry while I'm at the game tonight, so I hope to see a bunch of comments on how the Brewers are tearing it up!
  18. brian also makes 32 errors every game he calls. Nothing personal against the guy, I just don't see him as a very good broadcaster. I would agree, I don't like him either.
  19. Sweep on the road, something they haven't done in four years. Thats pretty pathetic, IMO
  20. Because the difference between an error and an infield/bloop single is nil. When Hardy misplayed a ball in Washington he wasn't the one who then started hanging his pitches for the Nats to hit ringing doubles until they scored 5 runs. Add into the fact that errors are entirely subjective and there you go. Yes, but errors also prevent an inning from ending when it really should have. Therefore, there is a possibility that those guys never would have gotten up in that inning, making it possible that they never would have scored. I agree that errors are subjective. My argument was more to the point that I don't think RA/9 is as good of a metric for judging the ability of a pitcher as is ERA (especially a guy who pitches to contact and relies on the defense like Suppan). BTW, how do you get quotes in that nice little box? Every other forum I have chatted on, I just need to hit reply to a post, but it doesn't work that way here. What is the secret?
  21. Actuallly, if my memory of statistics is correct, they would have roughly a 24% chance of winning 2 games. You have to multiply the chance of winning by itself, then multiply that by the number of possibilities for winning 2 games. Odds of winning 2 games = .2 * .2 = .04 (4%) Winning 2 Game Possibilities: 1,2 - 1,3 - 1,4 - 2,3 - 2,4 - 3,4 = 6 possibilites .04 * 6 = .24 = 24% chance of winning 2 games (if they have a 20% chance of winning each game individually). Anyhow, I agree, a series sweep is probably wishful thinking there. I think 2 or 3 games is more realistic. I also believe that we can take 2 from the Dodgers, not just 1.
  22. Soup's ERA is really misleading. He's given up a buttload of unearned runs. His ERA is 3.92 while his RA/9 is 5.05. I would love to hear your reasoning behind why this matters at all. Earned runs a pitcher can control, unearned runs (an error had a play in them) he cannot. How would that be a good judge of a pitcher's ability? And donmoney - I don't agree with trading Salome. If he continues to develop and hit like he has been at the major league level, he could be a huge asset. This team will have some serious bats at almost every position, except for catcher. There are no clear solutions there, and I would like to have a catcher who can swing the stick for once.
  23. I would say he is having a "streak" or whatever you want to call it, much like JJ had in the first half of last year. There is no way he keeps it up, but we need to ride it while he's hot. I think he would be a nice option off of the bench in the long term. Gotta love the guy that has a chance to tie up a game late with a homer.
  24. Beer - Pizza - Chair - Brewer Game
