    Go here, sort by attendance and manually remove away games. Then repeat for every year in Miller Park history and keep track of the top 10 http://www.baseball-refer...01-schedule-scores.shtml

    We could try this National League Division Series Series Date Pitcher Days Rest NLDS Game OneSaturday, October 1Greinke4 NLDS Game TwoSunday, October 2Gallardo4 NLDS Game ThreeTuesday, October 4Marcum5 NLDS Game Four*Wednesday, October 5Wolfa lot NLDS Game Five*Friday, October 7Greinke 5 National League Championship Series Series Date Pitcher Days Rest NLCS Game OneSunday, October 9Gallardo 6 NLCS Game TwoMonday, October 10Marcum5 NLCS Game ThreeWednesday, October 12Greinke4 NLCS Game FourThursday, October 13Wolf7 NLCS Game Five*Friday, October 14Gallardo4 NLCS Game Six*Sunday, October 16Marcum5 NLCS Game Seven*Monday, October 17Greinke4 Which means for the last week of the season we would want to have Greinke, Gallardo then Marcum start the last 3 games of the season vs the Pirates to get them back to normal-ish rest. The week before we could give them a little rest and use our off days and Estrada.

    This is a decision that cant be made with stats, there isn't enough to know either way. It needs to be made based on talking to these guys and getting a feel for if they actually do feel more or less comfortable at home or away. If they straight up ask Greinke if he has a preference and he says he'd rather pitch at home Id do that.

    I don't care what he says, I care what he does. He has not shown anything but Braun like faith in Betancourt this season and these comments suggest he plans on this mentality for the remainder of the season, seemingly no matter what Betancourt does. What did Lopez do in a week to get him kicked off the team that Betancourt hasn't done the entire season? I dont care about the past, yes we have a huge lead but we are in a terrible division, at this point in the year in 2008 we would have been 4 games behind the Cubs. I care about Betancourt costing us games in the playoffs. When we are facing tough pitching in the playoffs do you think Betancourt is going to add anything on offense? Apparently RRR does, yet any sane person would expect a terrible performance. So then you turn to defense, where again any smart baseball person who can learn anything from watching a baseball game would know Betancourt is a huge liability, so he should not be starting. Even worse is that after going 0-3 he will still be playing SS in the 8th inning with a 1 run lead in the playoffs, which may cost us a game. Right now Green, Counsell and Wilson should be playing 2B and Hairston should be at SS, I guess you could let Yuni play SS against a lefty.
  5. topper09er
    Um what alternatives have they explored???? Games that Morgan has started in CF, Lopez/Counsell/Wilson at 2B, and Betancourt at SS with Hairston on the bench: August 1 August 3 August 6 August 7 August 9 August 11 August 14 August 19 August 22 game 2 Games that Betancourt has not started at SS since Hairston was acquired = 0
  6. topper09er
    Fine, if it is all to look good to the fans that is one thing, but if he follows through on this plan then he is, infact, an idiot for not understanding how much Betancourt hurts the team. I seriously doubt he will ignore these comments and put Hairston in there more often than Betancourt down the stretch with Rickie/Gomez back. Right now against righties you could start Green, Counsell or Wilson at 2B and let Hairston start at SS, at least to see how his defense looks there.

    The Brewers only played .600 ball for 1 of the 12 months Macha was the manager, May of 2009.

    RRR is dooming this great team http://milwaukee.brewers....ey=notebook_mil&c_id=mil "It seems like every day, he hits something really hard. Sometimes he's getting a hit, sometimes he's not." Are you insane RR, what games are you watching? "I wouldn't mind looking at [Hairston] there, but I don't think there's a reason to say, 'I want to see if he can play there instead of Yuni,'" Roenicke said. He is an idiot, he doesn't understand anything about baseball and his only asset is that the players like him and are "having fun", as if they wouldn't be having fun if someone else was in charge of this roster that is playing .600 baseball.

    AZ literally plays their own division for the rest of the season except for 1 3 game series against the Pirates, and their division is not very good. More than anything we should pay attention to them and cheer for them to lose so we get home-field in the NLDS.

    We have 0 September home days games which are basically impossible to sell out since kids are back to school, so that will help a lot. There is no reason not to expect 40,000+ at every home game down the stretch.

    Braun is sitting at .334 with the off day and Jose Reyes is at .336 with a doubleheader today. We might wake up to see a new batting champ tomorrow, and a batting title will guarantee Braun the MVP
  13. topper09er
    If we can split our final 6 games with StL, and go 10-11 in the remaining 21 games, StL will need to go 21-1 in their remaining games to tie us. 2 out of 3 in this series will be huge.

    McGehee is so horrible. Very lucky to get that lazy tag
  17. topper09er
    Ax totally hung that one, lucky out there
  18. topper09er
    Well Reyes still has the batting title for now, an 0-fer tomorrow could put Braun on top though
  19. topper09er
    Due up this inning Morgan, Braun, Fielder....Green??? Probably not, especially if they use a lefty against Prince
  20. topper09er
    I was a little worried McGehee was going to try to tag the runner and screw that up

    Greinke leaves the game with a chance to go 10-0 at home in 12 starts. The Brewers are 11-0 in home games started by him. Knock on some of that wood Hart was flashing earlier
  22. topper09er
    Hart in the leadoff spot this year: 38 G, 173 PA, 28 R, 9 HR, .307/.373/.549/.922 including today.

    And Brewers live gets its first NC-17 rating.Don't forget about one of his most memorable Nellie's Nugget, when trying to say Claudio Vargas should throw lots of strikes "Vargas pounds meat"
  24. topper09er
    Yes, RRR (Like all managers except TLR) rarely considers the context of an AB before making his decision. He is of the "almost always bunt" school with Morgan and pitchers. Just the opposite of Macha who was of the "dont do anything except sit around and wait for HRs" school. They are both wrong.
  25. topper09er
    O sorry, missed that. It is runs scored per game per team. The NL this year is 4.15, the Brewers are 4.46 and in games Roy Halladay starts his opponents score 3.2 R/G.
