And McGehee lolly-gags the tag...PUT IT DOWN...and go to triple-A -
It does seem like sometimes guys lay off nasty sliders like they know it is coming, possibly ZG is tipping his pitches?
-
Just watching the Yankees for 2 innings it is amazing that they seem to only swing at fastballs and never chase anything.
-
If McGehee was somehow injured on that play then we already won this game.

braun and brewers in new york times today
topper09er replied to ilovebeer's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
I think its funny that the whole first part just gives a background on who the Brewers are because the NY media has totally ignored them forever and NY fans are mostly clueless on any non-NYY/BOS news. Like mentioning the Brewers went to the 1982 WS, or they have a retractable roof stadium, Braun won the ROY etc. Imagine if it was the other way and the Journal Sentinel did a story on who the Yankees were to refresh the Milwaukee fans: Today the Brewers will be traveling to New York to play the Yankees. The Yankees have Derek Jeter, a SS following in the steps of Robin Yount, who will soon become their first player to reach 3000 hits to go along with Alex "A-Rod" Rodriguez who has over 600 career HRs, Mark Teixeira, 1B, who currently leads the AL in HRs and 2-hitter Curtis Granderson who leads the league in runs scored. The Yankees are a storied franchise who have won 27 World Series titles, most recently in 2009, and have a long lineage of players including George "Babe" Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Joe Dimaggio and Mickey Mantle. Until their recent success of making the playoffs 16 out of the last 17 seasons, their fans mostly associated the Yankees only with these former greats when times were tough during the only two times the team missed the postseason for more than 3 straight years since 1920 from 1965-'75 and again from 1982-1994. Coincidentally, since 1994 the Yankees have had the highest payroll in MLB every single season and things are looking bright in the near future for their fanbase who currently holds a 1/2 game lead in the American League East Division. -
Casey McGehee's struggles: how much leash does he get?
topper09er replied to Robideaux's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
McGehee's last 38 games: 155 PA, .175/.219/.217/.436, 3 2B, 1 HR, 7 R, 13 RBI, 8/20 BB/SO Teams' record = 25-13 Over that same span Fielder's OBP = .488, 52 points higher than McGehee's OPS. -
WAR so far this year for the 2011 Brewers
topper09er replied to adambr2's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
You could also say it may be easier to hit a HR when up by a lot because the pitcher is trying not to walk people and you often are facing a bad pitcher/ a good pitcher having a bad day. If you tied teams will be more careful about allowing HRs and you will be facing a better pitcher. -
Phillies up 10-2, their 9 run 8th inning is finally over. So far this game their pinch hitters are 2-2, 1 BB, 3 RBI

Rollins makes it 7-2 Phils
-
another bases loaded walk for the Phils, now up 4-2, top 8th, 2 outs still bases loaded
-
Im very happy to see the ultra-aggressive running with Damon in LF
-
I would have bunted there too but since the start of last season: Braun 40 HR Weeks 43 HR

Greinke; 7 IP, 116 TP, 4 H, 1 ER, 0 BB, 10 K. On the year to date; 60.1 IP, 4.77 ERA, 9 BB, 80 K.

1 foot away from an inning ending DP
-
Wow Upton totally jogged to 2nd content with a double when a triple was possible if Corey bobbles
-
Cards back up 2-1 going into the 8th
-
Nooo...Dish Network is out in Madison.

Someone needs to ask RRR the following question "How many terrible outings in a row will it take to remove Loe as the 8th inning guy"
-
Kotsay is 1-9 against Zambrano so unlikely he will be manning CF tonight. Weeks is only 9-45 (.200), 1BB/19K against Z however, might we see his first off day since April 23? I will just take a wild guess with: 4 Counsell 8 Morgan 7 Braun 3 Fielder 5 McGehee 9 Hart 6 UBet 2 Lucroy

Impressions of Roenicke so far (part 1)
topper09er replied to adambr2's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
No he cant, he is possibly the worst bunter I have ever seen in my life. All he does is try to bunt while already running to 1st and fouls the ball off/miss. -
Kotsay has never faced Wells so he's not playing. This is going to be a standard vs RHP lineup I predict, Weeks, Plush, Braun, Fielder, McGehee, Hart, Betancourt, Lucroy
-
If McGehee goes 0-3 or worse tonight his OPS will dip below .600. It looks like his worst stretch last year was about May 20 - July 24, 56 G, 233 PA, 20 R, 18 RBI, 4 HR, 18 BB/38 SO, .231/.292/.340, OPS = .631 The difference is that he took his OPS from an All-star caliber .967 to a respectable and still better than expected .787.

Remember this team won the world series last year. Pitching always takes you the deepest.Andres Torres Freddy Sanchez Buster Posey Pat Burrell Cody Ross Aubrey Huff Juan Uribe Edgar Renteria I would still rather not face the Phillies
