  1. The dude should have stretched prior to game time. Just kidding! Those suck, because they can happen at anytime and there's really no way to prevent them.
  2. Wow. Figaro with the 97 mph heat. When was the last time the Brewers had 3 relief pitchers that can hit 97 MPH on the same team? Should Olmsted get his chance they could have 4. Power bullpen.
  3. Yeah, I said Segura would out hit Weeks this season. Looking really good so far.
  4. As one of the biggest Rickie Weeks fans... I completely agree. Very disappointing that Roenicke hasn't taken the initiative to sit him down for at least a couple days. Whatever they've been trying to get Rickie back on track clearly isn't working. Time for plan b. Don't get me wrong, I understand the Rickie Weeks supporters reasoning on letting him play through it and possible slump or whatever, but clearly something else is going on with him.
  5. Man do the Brewers own the Pirates. Is it wrong for me to expect this to continue? I mean I know the Pirates are improved but there's just something about playing the Pirates that just brings out the best in this team.
  6. If the Brewers can win all of these games like this while missing two of their top hitters and while having a young starting rotation, then imagine what they will be like at full strength and after there rotation starts to click. This team is really good guys, and it's just going to get better.
  7. Salvador Perez signed an extension with the Royals last year when he had accumulated 0.050 service time, which is less than Segura has now. It was a five year contract with three additional club option years. I am not in favor of the Brewers exploring an extension with Segura until after this season, but at this point a buyout of his arbitration eligible years with some additional club option years would not be completely unprecedented. Wow I didn't know that. Thanks for the reference.
  8. Since PFx1 hasn't even bothered to address this, I think you can assume that answer is "no" The obvious answer was no, as I believe someone else pointed that out, which is why I didn't address this. I also don't believe this matters as much, because the comparable SS to Segura (alcedes Escobar), signed a deal that is dirt cheap, and that has really no risk, so one can suggest, what's the harm in getting it done sooner rather than waiting for Segura to show he can sustain these numbers and rack up the production and additional money? My point is there is no risk. I also wouldn't at all rule it out.
  9. I hear what you are saying and if they decide to wait till the end of this season it could increase his asking price a million or two a year, but not by an enormous amount. However, I see no risk financially in extending him right now even if Segura comes back to earth, because the salary is going to be cheap, and the FA years are not guaranteed, but rather options with super cheap buyouts. Looking at that Escobar extension it could have actually been done a couple years prior and there would have been no risk involved. Long story short, this deal doesn't need to wait a year and can be done right now, or they can wait till after this season. Either way it doesn't really matter.
  10. From July 2012. In July 2012 Weeks hit .272/.380/.533. So yeah, maybe not so excellent. The fact that it's repeating yes it might be excellent.
  11. Here is an excellent write up on what could be going on With Rickie Weeks, http://www.hardballtimes.com/main/article/whats-wrong-with-rickie-weeks/
  12. Oh good god....did you really need to ask this? It doesn't make any sense I know.
  13. And Weeks has 13 hits and 10 walks, so 5 less times on base in the same number of at bats. And yeah, Rickie strikes out a lot, Aoki has been swinging like an idiot and hitting weak ground balls lately. Not really a difference. There's a difference if you believe there's something mechanically wrong with Weeks at the plate that is making him struggle like he is, and not Aoki. Aoki is in a slump, but I don't think Weeks is in a slump that he can get out of without making a mechanical adjustment. Also his defense hasn't been good and usually when you aren't hitting you play good defense to sorta make up for it and Weeks hasn't been doing that either.
  14. Why would Aoki be purposely playing bad, when he's only making 1.5 million and is going to hit arbitration soon? I'm not worried about Aoki. He has 20 hits, 8 BB, and has rarely struck out. He's productive when he's not hitting, just the other day he bunted for a base hit. Not to mention he's just going through a little rough patch. He started the season very hot. He's a different type of hitter than Weeks.
