    whos been coaching first base? Alex Sanchez?
  3. DHonks
    WHEEL, Jenkins was the first out, weak roller to first on first pitch
  4. DHonks
    Clancy, don't worry. the toughest pitch to hit is a well-located hard fastball. There is no sense of urgency to change his role. Sounds like his heater is alright today, and when I saw him the only pitch he could throw for strikes was his changeup. He's still coming into his own. Plus unless he's ready for the pen, there's absolutely no reason to make him a reliever in AAA.

    let me be on the record as saying cirillo will be a god send this year for milwaukee. I sure hope so. IF Weeks doesn't start off well in AAA and something happens to Spivey, Cirillo is our 2b. Speaking of him, how was his hit in the first? blooper, grounder, well-struck?
  6. DHonks
    hmmm, maybe they told Capellan "as of now, we like you in the AAA rotation for a few starts. Then we'll re-evaluate. But if you are lights out today, all bets are off"

    and I don't think this is on TV. They added a Miller Park exhibition game and Sunday night's game in Surprise (I'll be there).

    perhaps if nobody wants to fess up to the voodoo dolls, brewerfan.net should develop Cubs voodoo dolls. This could take off like the foamation cheeseheads

    Wow, someone can't wait for the Link Reports. Massbrew in mid-season form posting these daily game threads. It's one thing when he posts at like 5 am cause he's in New England, but this is before bed even.

    I like your point Igor. I think what is intriguing about Rottino is that he'll be in A+ or AA, and nobody has yet come out and said "he's not a 3b or C." There's that glimmer that we may have someone at those positions in AA who isn't a 6year free agent

    scoop and herminator, I was listening on XM and the Padres announcers basically were talking about how the Brewers defense gave the game away in the 9th. Routine chopper up the middle that Weeks nonchalantly went after, resulting in a "hit"--although the announcers felt it was only a hit because of the lack of effort. If he goes after it with some sense of urgency as he should do, especially in the 9th inning of a close game, then the ball game would have been over, 3-2 win I believe. Sorry I didn't mention that before
  12. DHonks
    Nice day by Rickie as well. yeah, because those three hits were more important than costing us the game by being lazy

    Its better to be wild in the zone, than not IN the zone, or straight in the zone. I would argue this point. A starting pitcher can be wild in the zone more than a reliever. Why? Early in games, guys go up there trying to work the count, knock the starter out early, see pitches, etc. So if they see a fastball that they don't like, they might take it. Later in the game, you swing at the first good pitch you see from a reliever. If he's aiming away at the knees and leaves it belt high or higher, that pitch will be pounded. Also, I'd rather be wild out of the zone than in the zone. Why was Jeff D'Amico so darn good in the summer of '00? It's because he only didn't his locations when his curve was in the dirt or the fastball was unhittable inside. Making a mistake in the zone should wind up in the seats. Making a mistake out of the zone leads to a ball. and Hardy, the quoting isn't something people are demanding because they are annoyed with it, they're asking for it because they want to read what you say. However, I'm sure that I have read your quotes in over half your posts and overlooked your personal statements, thinking they are a signature. I'm sure this is why people have been mentioning it so much lately
  14. DHonks
    Turnbow still scares me from when I've seen him. Wild within the zone can get a reliever in trouble, cause guys go up there hacking off relievers. Of course, I have had faith in Hendrickson, Obermueller, and Cappy, so my trackrecord on guys I feel weird about or have faith in is kind of sketchy. And Santos and Wise were guys I was worried about...sheesh
  15. DHonks
    well, Lee is back in the lineup tomorrow I think. We'll see if he can keep us from these slumps. We just can't string hits together
  16. DHonks
    I still think it's very possible to have Cruz, Nelson, Krynzel, and Fielder all on the Nashville squad. It's likely that we'll have the DH for over half our games. Throw in that Cruz/Hart will occasionally play CF for Krynzel, Cruz/Hart will occasionally need days off in the OF, and Fielder will need probably 2 days off a month, and it should be very easy for all 4 players to get 20-25 starts a month. At the same time, the lineup in Huntsville could probably use Nelson. He had a great first half, but the second half really put a damper on the previous success.
  17. DHonks
    First off, thanks Colby...good to know I was able to communicate the changes well. As for Hendrickson, you're right about getting a bit long at the top of his motion. What's weird is that in person you don't see that. In person you see a nice patient delivery. Heck, even the picture of him on the front of the Brewers' website doesn't make his arm seem as high and behind him as it did on TV. Secondly, I think Colby nailed it with the swagger thing. Maybe he's really quiet out there. But he has the look of "I'm gonna try to throw a strike" rather than "here's a strike, I dare you to hit it."
  18. DHonks
    who would have thought...No Carlos Lee and No Overbay= no offense
  19. DHonks
    Wow, Cirillo looks just as young as the day he left
  20. DHonks
    Come on Hall. You got him out, but stop showboating. If he slides over and gets that or charges it he gets the batter by more than half a step. I hate it when he waits back and it costs us Edit: then that next one from Hall. Billy, that's why JJ is starting over you
  21. DHonks
    Anyone else getting tired of this Honda lawn mower commercial? I like the gal in the McGriddles commercial
  22. DHonks
    who started the other game for the Cubs? why didn't we get him?
  23. DHonks
    Yeah, they're idiots. It's Helms. Helms was at bat. I think someone PR for Jenks
  24. DHonks
    So Obermueller's showing the same stuff as last year, only he's throwing his heater for strikes better this outing and getting ahead (pounding the zone). Where are all the people bashing him saying he has no stuff?
  25. DHonks
    Is that Peter Gammons sitting in the front row behind the catcher? could be
