Team by team analysis of Fielder trade partners
amt2138 replied to NYChez's topic in Transaction Rumors & Proposals
While were on the subject, thats really Mat Gamel humping a traffic cone? -
In the short time Maggette was in the game, he was absolutely lost on defense and giving up easy shots
-
Maybe they are seeing if they can use Cain to get somebody more established like Garza or Shields. The offer will stil probably be on the table later as well, I'm sure it's not a take it or leave it sort of deal.

Brewers in front with Nationals for Carl Pavano?
amt2138 replied to PrinceFielderx1's topic in Transaction Rumors & Proposals
Per Phil Rogers twitter, we won't go over 2 years and pavano camp looking for three http://twitter.com/ChiTri...status/12728443598807040 -
I could be totally making this up, but I thought I remembered hearing that scouts or coaches were saying they were disappointed in Lawrie not taking extra time to work on his defense and footwork at 2B when he badly needed it. Again, I don't follow prospects all that closely, but I thought I remembered seeing that on the minor league forum. That would obviously be an indication of poor work ethic.

Take it with a grain of salt but Jon Heyman from SI was on 1250 WSSP this morning and said the Royals were looking for arms that they could put in their rotation pretty soon in return for Greinke. Not really sure the Brewers have guys far enough along with the high ceiling that the Royals are looking for, if Heyman is correct.

It was 3 1 2. Grounder to prince, toss to yo, who turned and threw to lucroy. Kemp was trying to catch them napping but was out by a few steps.
-
In Rickie Weeks defense the pitch he popped out to the catcher split the plate in half.
-
There were two outs at the time of the walk so no double play or strikeout necessary.

Didn't get to see the game tonight and I was just looking through the box score... Is this correct for the top of the tenth? - J. Upton popped out to right center - M. Montero intentionally walked - M. Reynolds walked, K. Johnson to third, M. Montero to second Was avoiding the lefty Montero really that important that we set Hoffman up to face two more lefties after it looks like we nibbled at Reynolds? Can somebody explain that intentional walk to me?
-
When not to lead off... With a man on first and a 3-0 count down by three runs late in the game. Or even weak hitter/pitcher up with a 3-0 count. I guess if the base runner was extremely fast and could possibly go first to third on a wild pitch, but if the guys slow taking a lead is pretty pointless. Both situations assume the take sign is on.
-
Run should count. A guy not tagging up like at first is a timing play rather than a force out. Since the run scored before the out it counts
-
Anyone else miss the old Fortress on Fourth site? What a run to end it...I'm still in shock! First two games were unbelievable at the BC can't wait for the third!!
-
Lilly will get Zambrano's spot, so I highly doubt a Looper or any starting pitcher signing. Edit: Didn't see your edit, nevermind this post
-
By throwing him a higher percentage of fastballs you may decrease the chance of walking him, but you certainly are increasing his chance of getting on base by getting a base hit. So doesn't it kind of defeat the purpose? Wouldn't a pitcher stick to his full arsenal rather than increasing the amount of fastballs to simple not walk him? I guess I understand if he gets behind in a count 2-0 or any 3 ball count that a fastball would most likely be coming but that is true in most scenarios in baseball. I would really like to see the stats on hitters batting in front of big time power guys and the percentage of fastballs they see compared to normal.

Per Gery Woelfel: No broken bones but a "slight" dislocation.
-
I believe he struck out 11 batters. I doubt it was intentional, but both benches were warned right after the pitch. I still say its Brewers -1 right now, and they should even that up at home in July. It was a breaking ball with two strikes and not intentional. The warning was not necessary and neither is any retaliation. The Brewers have already moved on and forgotten about it.
-
According to TH's twitter account and the writers for the Giants it was a 2-2 curve ball that hit Prince. There is no way it was intentional or even worth worrying about.
-
If Yo, Wolf, and Davis disappoint and we still manage 79 wins that would be a pretty impressive display by the offense. I'm pretty positive and upbeat about this season at this point so I say 87-75. Yo will improve as he continue to develop. Weeks picks up where he left off before injury Manny Parra will take over the last spot in the rotation and put together a good season.

Rotation Battle 2.0 -- Latest: Suppan Named 5th Starter
amt2138 replied to Jim Goulart's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Does anybody else see it as encouraging that they moved Parra and Suppan to pitching on the same day? That would be the spot that is lined up for the 5th starter. Maybe Suppan isn't assured of a rotation spot after all? -

Anyone still got extras to trade? PM if you do I got a lot older SGA bobbles from Major/Minors from 2001-2002 years.

I usually win my bracket pools too. My secret is that I talk everyone down and then I fill out my brackets after the tournament is over. I've had a few perfect brackets in my day.

I really don't think pitching coaches are going to be tinkering too much with a guy coming off a great year. Probably going to be reinforcing the things they did that year, instead of trying to completely overhaul the philosophy that worked for the guy. I don't think Duncan is "just lucky" by any means, but he is no miracle worker either as a lot of those "reclamation" projects have gone back bad under his care.
-
Darryl Kile had some pretty good years and a couple great years if I remember in Houston before going to Colorado, which when Kile was there was right in the middle of being pitcher's hell. Smoltz may have been tipping his pitches or whatever in Boston and I guess Duncan fixed that. I find it pretty hard to believe that Smoltzy would tinker a whole lot with his delivery or pitches he throws at this point in his career. I attribute the "success" he had in St. Louis more to moving from the AL East to the NL. Similar to Brad Penney's success once he got to San Francisco after his Boston stint. If Duncan fixed these guys, why wouldn't they continue the success after St. Louis? Would they forget what he said or just buy into what the pitching coach on the news team says? I don't know what I'm going for, I guess I just don't believe in the coach having much of an effect on pitchers after they reach a certain level. Young guys or guys coming off an injury sure, but seasoned guys who have had previous success... I just can't see it.
