I'm sure Macha and Co. emphasized in ST that he use the bunt more than he has in the past. But he needs to realize the game situation better (especially with Weeks on 2nd) as when not to. -
well he has the hat trick now...

Colorado sure does burn through RPs...

Kottaras is the definition of the term "productive out" today.
-
Kottaras has to do a better job of blocking these pitches, or he will not last up here. Where is he missing them? In the dirt? High? Left? Right? It doesn't help the pitcher if they are scared to trust their catcher to block low pitches or ...
-
does anyone else get the feeling that we can't afford to go down 3 here? We have the offense, just have to stop the bleeding!
-
Nice to see Macha using the big guns in a tight situation, rather than just waiting to the end of the game.

If DD keeps up this pattern (3,0,1,0), he puts up a -1 for the 5th, 0 for the 6th, and -3 for the 7th. Then his ERA is back to zero! http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

One year + club option if I remember right...

Kottaras from 1st to home on a double to left = wow! I was thinking the same thing. Yahoo called it a double to "shallow" left... So that had to be impressive to get home from 1st...

Davis cuts his ERA in half!
-
Man, our starting pitching sure seems to have a case of the yips to start this year... Does everyone have those opening game nerves? I mean everyone but the Rockies...

Your 2010 Wisconsin Timber Rattlers

Have they announced what position he might play? Looks like he is has a 1B glove... -
JSOnline also had this in the Game Report[/url]. Here its reporting what Macha said instead of the writers opinions: Brewers manager Ken [/b]Macha [/b]said he had racked his brain trying to figure out when to pitch right-hander Jeff [/b]Suppan [/b]in the rotation and how to break up the consecutive left-handers - Randy [/b]Wolf [/b]and Doug [/b]Davis[/b].
-
In JSOnline this morning, there was an article about Suppan's return. They seem to think that Suppan will return in time to be the 5th starter. I'm still hoping it will be Parra instead. No speculation on who gets sent down, but I'm guessing its still Villanueva. Any other thoughts?
-
I can't find one good reason to put Edmonds batting 5th behind Fielder: - Back-to-Back Lefties - McGehee is hitting better - McGehee is the better hitter at this point. - McGehee bounces around in the lineup when Hart comes in. - McGehee did great last year in the 5-hole.

MLBPA threatens to file grievance
CheezWizHed replied to Invader3K's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
So, while all the teams are bidding to get the same players signed to compete against each other, they decide to all offer the same contract? If only the Yanks and Brewers had colluded on CC! Then he would have stayed... If two teams really want the same player, there will be a bidding war on them. Sometimes even when only one team bids on a player (as mentioned for Holliday above). If teams only kind-of sort-of want them, you get a bunch of similar luke-warm contracts... -
Well, we got more for the money! http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

WOAHS SOLVDD!

Major "Overpay" Becket 4/68 with Red Sox?
CheezWizHed replied to TwinsBrewersWorldSeries's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Hmmm.... its a ways off, but that doesn't help us with signing Gallardo. They both seem to have similar numbers. -
I think it would be a mistake to hit Rickie3 anywhere lower than 3rd. His on base skills would be wasted batting 5th. I agree. With OBP at such a premium on our team, Weeks needs to stay up there. At least until other show they can at least match his OBP production.
-
Weeks is the much better hitter. Giving 20 Weeks ABs to Gomez makes little sense to me. True, but then why do both of them get more ABs than Braun and Fielder? Baseball doesn't strictly follow the best hitter gets the most ABs concept. (Now leading off, Prince Fielder!) Personally, I like the idea that LaRussa had when Puhols hit third. Why not Weeks-Braun-Fielder? And I was also against Kendall hitting 9th for the same reason. But I digress. I'm also having some problems with the "his OBP isn't good enough for leadoff" idea. Again, the whole premise of the question is framed in the fact that Weeks/Gomez hit in the first two spots. So will those 18-20 ABs matter enough? Weeks career OBP is 0.058 better than Gomez (.352 vs .294). Over 20 ABs, that is about one more time on base. Lets say he attempts 12 more steals at a 75% rate: 9 steals, 3 CS. Is that worth the 1 more time on base? How about 20 more times (15 success vs. 5 CS)? Let me add that personally, I don't like Gomez in the top 2. But since he is there...
-
But does his OBP really make a difference batting 2nd instead of 1st? ...he's probably the better bunter so having him bat 2nd is where he should be as of now. I'm guessing you mean that if he fails to bunt for a single with Weeks on, it would go as a sacrifice instead? That's a good point I hadn't thought of.
-
Ok, one rule for discussion here: Gomez and Weeks must be one of the first two batters. Whether Gomez should be up there has already been discussed elsewhere. I was looking at the box score this morning and started wondering if Gomez should be leading off with Weeks second? No, the 4-5 yesterday didn't influence my decision. If he is going to be up there, why not bat him first? The chance for extra ABs over Weeks is pretty minimal. And he has more opportunity to steal (in front of Weeks instead of Braun). Pros for Gomez leading off: - More stealing opportunities with Weeks batting than with Braun. - This would be my main line of thinking. - Weeks slugs better, so should have better RBI numbers than Gomez Cons: - Probably gets more fastballs hitting in front of Braun. - Weeks finally (?) getting adjusted as lead-off

Brought many non-baseball-interested females to the sport. My niece was a huge fan, so big that she named her horse JJ (I'm pretty sure it was a compliment). She was so devastated by the trade, she recently sold the horse (of course, there were a couple non-related reasons also).
