How often does a situation come up where you really have no idea who is going to start a game? Just look who started 4 days ago, 99% of the time that's who's going to start.
-
It's a gentleman's agreement to announce a starter well before the game. I've always wondered why teams don't try to hide who they're starting once in a while like you suggest.
-
I'm lol'ing at Anderson getting the loss. -
Anyone know what kind of paperwork is involved when a guy gets called up for the first time?
-
The ole 3-4-1 double play.
-
Walking the pitcher to lead off an inning always ends well. Good grief.
-
Guerra seems like he's pitching to a much slower pace since he's come back.
-
I can't believe they haven't yet. A pitcher is going to be killed sooner or later. When I played in college one of our pitchers took a line drive to the chest. No one had any clue where the ball was. All you heard was the ping and our pitcher was on the ground and the ball was rolling down the third base line. They took him in an ambulance and the ER doc told him it very well could have killed him.

Villar to DL; Brinson recalled to make MLB debut
jerichoholicninja replied to And That's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
As long as Broxton is in Milwaukee this seems unnecessary. -
Meaningful analysis has never been Bill's forte. Bill does a nice job analyzing the pitches, I suspect most people watching the game cannot tell what pitch was thrown just by watching. Yes he relies too heavy on old school stats, but hey its not BA is ever discussing FIP Bill's wrong about 50% of the time on guessing what a pitch is. Sometimes I wonder if he's even watching the game when he says "threw him a curveball" and the ball never moved an inch live speed.

I guess we'll just let the starter blow it tonight.
-
These big early leads make the inevitable bullpen implosions hurt even more.
-
So DFA'ing a washed up, borderline nobody player who's only real claim to fame is PED's is press conference worthy?

[sarcasm]The franchise is folding.[/sarcasm]

Pitching staff adjustments?
jerichoholicninja replied to JohnBriggs12's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
I was thinking that too. But mainly because I've always loved him. -
I have yet to see Espino pitch but is the only reason he's made two starts because burning his service time means nothing?
-
On field delay?

Not on TV today. Well there goes my afternoon plan.

Pitching staff adjustments?
jerichoholicninja replied to JohnBriggs12's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
And you know that because? Stearns, CC, and many others in the organization have said there's more to just numbers when determining if a player is "ready" to be called up. Maturity, confidence, etc. all factor in. It's why Arcia was brought up so early, no problem with confidence there! I'm just using that word, but it's that intangible that tells you someone is ready. That's all I'm saying. I agree about intangibles. But if his first major league action over 2 years ago is a mental block that prevents him from succeeding this year, his mental makeup is pretty weak. Especially after he worked and earned his way back. -
Time to Start Worrying About Villar?
jerichoholicninja replied to Schmi755uwm.edu's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
I think it's funny that Brewers fans deride the Cardinals and their fans for all that "play the game the right way" and "the Cardinal Way" stuff, but as soon as we get a few players who play the game with some exuberance and flair and excitement, we want our players to "play the game the right way" and such. Has nothing to do with flair or exuberance, it's the utterly stupid play that those guys show so often. They have all the talent in the world but lack the discipline to do the simplest things consistently. -
I'm sure that was the plan all along. He's not going to get regular AB's in Milwaukee and he'll get even less when Braun comes back.

Pitching staff adjustments?
jerichoholicninja replied to JohnBriggs12's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Sure seems like he's ready. But two factors to consider. First, is he mentally and physically ready? Could be some refinement they're still working on with him. And since he's been in MLB already and got knocked around a little, you really want to be sure he comes up with confidence. Potentially, he's not just an option for the present but for the future as well. (As opposed to the Cravys and Blazeks, etc.) So, if you can, you want to avoid the yo-yo of going back and forth between MLB and AAA. Secondly, who does he replace? Not long ago nobody would have a problem dumping Hughes. Then he turned in a couple of exceptional outings. Every guy in the Brewers pen has had success in the past, most in the very recent past. So you want to be careful about giving up on guys too soon. If a guy lacks confidence because he got hit around in the majors two years ago after making the jump from rookie ball, he's never going to be mentally ready. -
This is why that one guy arguing with me in the game thread a week or two ago about needing to keep Knebel even if we get a good offer for him was so funny. You can count the number of relievers in the league who are consistently good year in and year out on one hand. If you have a good one and get a great offer for him, you take it.

3 innings of terror coming up.
