Jenkins is up there. -
As someone with no horse in this race, adam is right. You argue just to argue most of the time.
-
I didn't know Jeffress was doing that poorly. So basically we traded out 3 best relievers in Smith, Jeffress, and Thornburg and they've been injured, sucked, and drunk. We made out like gangbusters.
-
While Torres didn't pitch well it was his error, not pitching, that forced Knebel into the game. If he makes a halfway decent throw to second they turn two and he probably still gives up a run but finishes the game.
-
I'm assuming the whole issue is because he isn't getting as much in tips but doesn't he work for Sportservice and by blocking the license costing himself a job?
-
I'm assuming Briggs thread has already been deleted?

Just a freaking joke.

lol this bullpen

4HR for Scooter. Prepare for a week of JohnBriggs annoyingness.

Time to Start Worrying About Villar?

Pitching staff adjustments?
jerichoholicninja replied to JohnBriggs12's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
They've brought up relievers for 1 game at least once so far this year. And I'm pretty sure he didn't even pitch. -
Not really sure how you can blame Feliz for all but two BP pitchers being terrible this year. Is it Villar's fault that Broxton hasn't lived up to his 2016 second half too?

Pohlman Field in Beloit
jerichoholicninja replied to MillerParkSouth's topic in Brewers Minor League Talk
I was there 12 years ago and it was a dump. No charm, just metal bleachers and an overhang behind homeplate. Wildwood Park in Sheboygan would blow it out of the water. I would hope they've put some work into it since but I don't know. -
I gave you multiple examples of ways in which they've tried to improve the pen just since Spring Training. They signed Hughes, they traded for Drake. They had a short leash with Feliz and a short one with Marinez. They converted Peralta to a reliever. They called up Suter and Scahill at various points. All within a span of 2 months. How is this not trying? Just because what they've tried hasn't worked to this point doesn't mean they haven't tried. Again, what would your specific moves be right now that you think would improve the pen? I'll agree with both of you. Yes, they tried "things." They played reliever roulette in the offseason with crappy old guys, all of whom were gone before spring training and they went out and acquired a bunch of mediocre guys like Drake, Hughes, and Feliz. Theres' two problems though. One is that the team is playing way above expectations so the fact that the bullpen sucks actually matters. The other is that to acquire any relief pitching that would make a difference, it's going to cost players we probably shouldn't be trading right now. I imagine the front office meeting and going, "Man our bullpen sucks as bad as we thought it would and has cost us 5 or 6 games already. But who here actually thought those 5 or 6 games would mean anything?"

I noticed that too and was going to post in the in-game thread about it. He's basically the human version of Hank the Dog because his stupid laugh has been played up so much. He's going to be a casual-fan favorite for however long he's a Brewer because of it.
-
According to that chart, everything called a strike was a strike. According to last night's Fox Trax and MLB Gameday there were plenty of balls called strikes.
-
Just have Garza and Anderson go 9 every time. They're not part of our future and them pitching gassed is just as good as anyone not named Barnes or Knebel from the bullpen.
-
Exactly. Brett was quite obviously calling it.

...over two years ago.

Pitching staff adjustments?
jerichoholicninja replied to JohnBriggs12's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
The Brewers have already shot down the whole Hader to the bullpen thing. They said he only threw 2 innings because they are cutting some of his starts short to keep his innings down. Which seems like the exact opposite thing you'd do to someone you want to move to the bullpen. -
I've often found the whining about strike calls in these threads annoying but this season it is well deserved. I've seen the most consistently bad umping of my life this season.
-
I think if anything this trade continues to prove that Dembrowski doesn't give a crap about prospects and their system will be decimated in a few years as he continues to trade young guys for veterans.
-
It's not though. It's thrown exactly like a fastball just the fingers are off center. Go outside tomorrow and throw 50 cutters. Then get back to me. That's pretty much the only pitch I throw and it does nothing to my elbow. Still fine after throwing it over 10 years.
-
My eyes see zero leaders on this team. Braun is probably the most "leaderish" due to his talent and veteranship but his personality doesn't seem like a guy that you look to when you need someone to take charge. I can see Thames getting there eventually but he's basically a rookie.
-
Don't they call those "promotions"? Or maybe it's just the schools around me that do that.
