Does Yuni ever take a first pitch?
-
Thanks, I couldn't remeber and didn't feel like looking in up.
-
Middle inning note. Do any of you guys know when Braddock is set to come back? I watched him in Appleton and he looked great.
-
Rickie was in a run down. Tried to spin away from the tag, and spun into Cedeno. Cedeno thought he should have just given up and let him apply the tag. Too rough for him I guess.
-
Yes! Based loaded for Gomez......Oh Wait.
-
I hope Rickie gets beaned and then charges the mound and owns McDonald.
-
Lets go Yo! Stay out of the DP My Boy!

I agree with you. I know it is easy to be a manager from the couch, but RR seems to be oblivious to the obvious.

I would really like to see Lucroy moved up. Did anyone else hear RR talking about how it is really nice have Lucroy batting 8th because he can turn the lineup over regularly to get to the big boys? In my opinion that should be a bonus. I don't see how he can justify batting Lucroy, currently batting .324, in the 8 hole. I would love to see him bat 2nd until Hart is ready. I like Gomez a lot batting 8th. His aggressive style is perfect for that spot in the order, where production should be a bonus.

Why is Austin Ross still in low A ball?

Thanks for the scouting reports! Are those stadium gun readings or from scouts? Stadium guns, but it should be pretty accurate. Braddock sat around 93 with the fastball according to the stadium gun, which is normal for him. -

Went to the game tonight and saw him pitch. He has a smooth delivery and his fastball pops, and sits around 91-93 with his off-speed at 78-80. He had a ton of Ks again tonight with one rough inning. If he could develop a nice breaking pitch I think he has potential to be a 2 or a 3. I can't wait to see how he performs against better competition. Braddock was awesome. 5 up 5 down with 5ks. Looked like a man among boys for obvious reasons. His fastball hit 97 a few times, but sat around 93. -
When the LOOGY (Stetter) gives up a hit to a lefty to lead off the innning and then he leaves him in to face two righties, which Stetter is horrible against it is 100% on RR. This mismanagment of the bullpen has been going on all year, and you wonder where the RR hate comes from? Stetter only faced 1 batter. Damn, Yahoo Game Tracker! Watching on yahoo at work, and it showed Stetter gave up 3 hits. I was assuming.

I liked what I saw last year, though. While he didn't walk much, he seemed to have a pretty good sense of the strike zone and he had a nice, compact swing. Lucroy seems like a guy who could consistently hit .270 with around 10 homers. It's nice to have a catcher who isn't a lump of meat at the plate (and who can run a bit, too, despite his base running gaffes this season). I do like Nieves behind the plate, though. He is a better hitter than .270. I think he has potential to be a .290 hitter once he gets settled in, and the power will come. He hasn't even really had much of a chance to get his feet wet in the majors.

Braun needs a day off. He needs to be getting frustrated that everything he hits is hit hard, but right at someone. Day off to gather himself would be good for him.
-
Work computer wallpaper superstition worked for Zack last night. Today Hart gets the nod as my featured Brewer background. Expect big things from him tonight boys. I'm an International Harvester......
-
Time to get him out. Doesn't look the same this inning. Could get ugly

Get ahead=good Get behind=bad

All he can do is dominate who he faces and that is the only thing he has done so far. He is a little old for low-A though, but he is doing a little better than another 22 year old in A-ball last year named Eric Arnett. 90-93 isn't exactly ordinary, and when you have good off-speed stuff and good command you can be a very good pitcher. Has Rogers raw power ever done anything for him? Too many strong arm pitchers go no where becuase they never figure out how to pitch or command their pitches. It makes me want to puke every time I think about all the early round picks we have used on "power" pitchers the last few years who have done next to nothing. -
Damn, my two year old son just pissed our bed while he was watching cartoons in our room. Come down from cleaning it up to see Greinke gave one up. What a crappy 10 minutes of my life.
-
Wish Prince wouldn't have missing that meatball the pitch before.
-
Tough break for Braun. That is what a big league third baseman should be able to do with the glove. Cough..Cough.. Casey
-
Nice! I forgot what a weak single looked like. At least off a Brewer bat.
-
WHy didn't Bartlet go to 1st? Thanks bud
-
Awful, but both pitchers are getting the calls, which is a nice change.
