    I'm sure I'm not the only one who is screaming put in Sheets or Johnson!!!!
  3. jwaltz
    It appears the Rocket is out of fuel.
  4. jwaltz
    I was thinking Sheets should have started too.

    Why is Tim McCarver still calling games for Fox? He has slipped considerably.

    To think if the Brewers would have a losing record right now Yost would be considered an All-Star manager. What a joke.

    Randy Johnson could be the second pitcher behind Clemens with Sheets following. And Sheets WILL DOMINATE.

    Hopefully he brings Kyle with him. Kyle would be great in the booth in Milwaukee.

    That has me thinking of a third arm. That's strange wording. Scouts write the oddest things.

    I was crossing my fingers when I listened to Powell compare Rogers to Gold. I hope that wards off the evil spectors that cursed Gold.

    Yeah, maybe Josh can sweet talk Lance into signing for Klements or Uzingers sausages (his choice.) If we need to sweeten the deal we can offer some Miller beer and a giant mug to drink it out of(might as well not waste that giant mug.) If that doesn't work we can blackmail him. "We have your brother-in-law. If you don't sign with us we will abuse him like Dusty Baker abuses his pitchers." As long as he doesn't call our bluff we should be fine. If he does oh, well. If wishes were horses... On second thought maybe we just have to get him drunk. Very drunk.

    Cardenal, I have seen many people refer to DePodesta as Mr. Moneyball because the book follows him and Beane around during the 2002 draft. DePodesta tended to draft college players who have less leverage in negotiation and would sign cheaper. They also would (he would hope) be closer to the majors and be better bets to contribute someday. They drafted a lot of college picks early on and only a few high schoolers. White, the Dodger's scouting director, has primarily drafted high schoolers. In the book Beane values performance over tools. It is a little easier to judge performance from college kids (larger sample size) than high schoolers. The point of the book wasn't necessarily finding underalued talent as it was a new philosophy to draft talent. Many of the people they drafted in the Moneyball draft were not undervalued at all. It now looks like most of those that were "undervalued" aren't going to set the world on fire and some may never develop.

    Upon seeing that list I noticed mostly the usual suspects at the top and bottom with a few exceptions. The Moneyball teams were near the top, EXCEPT for the Dodgers, who were near the bottom. This seems to indicate that Mr. Moneyball DePodesta allowed White to run the draft(money definately had something to do with this, as did White's past success.) DePodesta handled the A's drafts before going to the Dodgers and primarily drafted college kids. Another GM who has historically taken college players, our own Doug Melvin, apparently did what DePodesta did, and let Jack Z run the draft. Can't argue with what Jack Z and WHite have done in the past three drafts for both the Dodgers and the Crew. I also found it interesting that the Twins took slightly more college players than high school players. Ryan has a reputation for taking high schoolers over college kids and preferring tools over stats. Maybe he wants a few players closer to the majors to help the big league club soon either through trade or callup.

    This game has to be one of the finest team pitching performances in Brewers history if not NL history. WOAH SOLVDD would be proud of this thread. This thread could be one of the best posting performances too. Let's give ourselves a pat on the back and a raise the beers in salute. Who would have thought Kinney would have got the win and his Angels counterpart Ortiz would get the loss?

    Batman and Roco may need Pinchposters. This wasn't just a game, it was an experience. If something happens to Toby from that cheese sandwich this site may have to call up some posters from the minors for a few days.

    472 mostly very good pitches.

    Thanks for the great draft coverage. It was fantastic. You put paysites to shame. This is easily the best team fansite on the web (I admit bias since I am a big Brewer fan.) Thanks.

    If you would have told me a few months ago our pitching staff could do this, I would have thought you were crazy. Amazing.
