    Yeah, it's pretty obvious. In fact, most of the team has shown no patience this entire season so far.
  2. PrinceEatMeat
    I do worry about Gamel's confidence as BA said. Hopefully plays like that don't start to snowball on him. He looked a lot better in ST, so he's clearly capable.
  3. PrinceEatMeat
    Back-to-back jacks!
  4. PrinceEatMeat
    Gonzo! Big HR!

    And a leadoff walk to Bourn. Might as well call it a double. He'll be at second shortly. Kottaras has no chance.

    I thought Braves fans were a lot more classy than they have shown so far. I'd expect some boos for Braun and such, but then they even starting booing about the ump wanting the scoreboard changed, which is an obvious distraction. Actually did think the boos for Braun wouldn't be as bad either, but I guess that's more attributed to the bigger crowd.

    This year's payroll doesn't matter. The payroll committed money for next season won't be as high, with guys like K-Rod, Marcum, and possibly Wolf coming off the books. They could fit in Greinke if they wanted to. Is that advisable though? I'd say no as you said. I'd rather not keep Greinke if his price is outrageous either. I personally think it would be pretty stupid, but that doesn't mean they won't financially be able to handle it for the first few years. It's in the later years where it would be a killer. If the price is too high, signing Marcum and keeping Wolf for a year is a far better solution. It's not necessary to go after someone like Garza when they have those two as in-house options. Maybe it's not as great in the short-term, but it would be a fine alternative and leave us a lot better off in the long-term.
  8. PrinceEatMeat
    That's why you ease them in as I said before, and not go with all of them at once. Next year try to keep Marcum and Wolf if Greinke is gone, and go with one young pitcher. Then the year after when Wolf's gone add another. Then a few years late when Marcum leaves add another. And there's also the possibility of someone outperforming Narveson at some point.
  9. PrinceEatMeat
    Agreed. It would just be nice to be able to retain at least Marcum for a few years. Just to hold off until those guys are ready. But if not, you're right that it shouldn't be far off before our pitching rebounds.
  10. PrinceEatMeat
    We know you didn't. Just trying to say how bad it is. It's worth hearing from people who have dealt with it.
  11. PrinceEatMeat
    I agree about letting Greinke (if it's inevitable) & Marcum go. I'd keep Wolf around, just since it's only a one-year deal. I'm not sure I'd look to deal Weeks or Hart, but I'd certainly listen if other teams wanted to offer. There's really not much to "blow up", since you'd still obviously keep Braun, Yo, Luc, and all the salary-controlled dudes. The Brewers have a chance this offseason to walk away from the strategy of spending big money on veterans, and I really, really hope they do walk away from it. I'm not sure they will as long as Melvin is GM, but I definitely hope so. I really think the spending recently has more to do with Mark A than it does with Melvin. Attanasio really wants to win, so he's willing to shell out the cash to do it. Not that that's the only way to build a winner though. I highly doubt Melvin and Attanasio would keep Greinke if the price got too high. They went 5 years $100 million on CC, but I really doubt they'll even go that high for Greinke. It's just not a smart move. They both know that. Now keeping Marcum on a short term deal isn't as bad. That's conceivable, and I would do it. If it goes 4 years or above though without options, I'd walk away from that too.

    I had a small, caught-early case of shingles once. I wouldn't wish it on anyone. I had shingles too back when I was about 18 I think. It was absolutely horrible.
  13. PrinceEatMeat
    Exactly. The plan has to be to keep Marcum and Wolf if Greinke isn't re-signed. If Greinke comes back Peralta and Fiers would both likely be in the rotation, which is somewhat scary. I think it'd be more likely that we'd go out and sign some crappy #5 as you said. $8.5 million for Wolf is a bargain in my opinion. He's a quality pitcher. As I said before, I'd be fine with a rotation of Gallardo, Marcum, Wolf, Peralta/Fiers, Narveson next season if Greinke is gone.
  14. PrinceEatMeat
    Scored club seats for all 3 games! About 35 bucks total. Fantastic!
  15. PrinceEatMeat
    I don't think Melvin will just sit around and not talk to Marcum if the situation with Greinke isn't looking good. He'll probably start talking extension with Marcum late in the season if that's the case. I don't see him letting both walk. That can't be allowed to happen if he wants to keep the team in contention. If Greinke leaves, I think the best move is to re-sign Marcum and keep Wolf. Then give the open spot to Peralta or Fiers in 2013. Then after Wolf leaves, there's another spot for either Peralta or Fiers, with Jungmann and Bradley hopefully in AAA as backup. Rogers could be an option as well. If Marcum can be had on a 3-year deal that's even better.
  16. PrinceEatMeat
    yes, very. Yeah, I'd be pretty shocked too actually. Marcum will probably have a solid year, but I expect Greinke to be overall outstanding. Today was just one start. He may have a random bad game here and there, but he'll be better than Marcum.
  17. PrinceEatMeat
    Well, 3 out of 4 is pretty good at Wrigley Field. The way it's going we would've lost anyway after the 1st run. Crazy stuff always seems to happen to prevent that from happening, even though the Cubs suck. I'll take it. Get 2 out of 3 in Atlanta and it's a 5-2 road trip. That's pretty darn good for mid-April.
  18. PrinceEatMeat
    Yes! Time for the sweep tomorrow!
  19. PrinceEatMeat
    We just can't ever get a clean 9th, can we?
  20. PrinceEatMeat
    Maybe RR peruses the IGTs and has considered the frequent complaints that move would bring Seriously, however, I think a day off should be a day off so I'm glad to see it. I also like giving Kottaras some time because I think he's shown he's up to it. Lucroy isn't a significant upgrade defensively, is he? I'm actually asking because that's my sense, but that's not something I pay a lot of attention to. Yes, he's a pretty significant upgrade. Which is why he always replaced Kottaras late in games last year. Kottaras can't throw out runners and often struggles to block pitches. That's why Lucroy would come in to catch K-Rod and Ax.
  21. PrinceEatMeat
    Whew! Sigh of relief there. He was clearly tiring.
  22. PrinceEatMeat
    Why is Estrada warming up and not Ax or Veras? Roenicke makes no sense sometimes. Might've been wise to not push it and give K-Rod the day off here too. Veras would've been fine in this situation.
  23. PrinceEatMeat
    Not sure why Lucroy isn't in the game catching right now. He always was in these situations last year.
  24. PrinceEatMeat
    Fantastic job by Yo there to get out of that jam!
  25. PrinceEatMeat
    And another huge K!
