    The gosh darn solution to 3B is to simply put frickin Bill Hall back there and call it day. Throw Gwynn in CF with Gross or vice versa and bring up Ryan Braun to platoon with Jenkins and move Mench for Leiber or something. It is that simple. Only the Brewers can botch up things like this. It is staring us right in the face. You have to think about strong defense up the middle and in the corners. Then if Koskie comes back he can back Hall. Send Mench and Graffanino in a pacakage and then bring up Rottino with Counsell for INF depth and there you go. Leave Hall and Hardy on the left side and not one ball will get by them and not one will get in the gaps on Gwynn or Gross. This is so simple it infuriates me...I can't see why they do not do it? You got all your home grown talent and guys you had made trades for right there! Then we will see Melvin's greatness in all of this...

    Agreed
  3. RWeeksUp2Bat23
    Todd Walker would be an upgrade...but I would rather have Rottino and trade Graffinino.
  4. RWeeksUp2Bat23
    You wouldnt trade Hall for Crawford!??? You are incredulous!!! Ha ha ha... man would I love to play you in fantasy baseball.
  5. RWeeksUp2Bat23
    Make what hole? What the hell are you talkin about!? The Hall and Jenkins deal for Wells is awesome. It does not create a hole! Hall's hole is gone when they bring in Counsell! He is not an OF anyways. They can move him...along with Jenkins just to get rid of Jenkins. They have to pay others down the road and they have evidently chose to diss Hall for JJ...so move him.
  6. RWeeksUp2Bat23
    I love the Bill Hall and Clark for Vernon Wells. Now that Craig Counsell is here Hall is expendable..because for his good you cant trot him out to LF. This man is a SS. I would not settle for anything less if I am his agent or Bill Hall himself. JJ Hardy is the one who they should move not Hall. But you know how Milwaukee works...they will move the guy they should keep. Back ass awkards.

    LOL....ha ha ha. Get in shape....Ha. Priceless.http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/laugh.gif

    That is his hard curve...not biting or floating curve. Ben has a nice yakker! An 12 to 6 and 11 to 5 drop...nice arm action. Can come from various arm slots. He sells his breaking balls well. Ben's command has improved because as you can see, he does not walk many and he throws strikes. And in his follow through he comes over and down a bit more to take that strain off his elbow. Not like Francisco Liriano and Dontrelle... On day they might blow an elbow. That may be a reason Griffey went yard on the first pitch. Ben if he gets hit it is early in the count...because they know he is coming with a strike and a ball around the plate. It's a good thing to see...http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

    Hey dont get me confused with this guy who copied my screename. I am not a negative fan! Relax we will be ok. The White Sox are said to be looking for a big bat and have Vasquez Garland or another pitcher free. But the way it is looking we need a hot bat now...from somewhere. All these Cubs fans in here make the Cubs feel like they own the place.

    Just adjustments of a young hitter....he will snap out of it. He is learning to make adjustments. He has altered his stance and bat placement a bit and spread his legs apart a bit. So he is popping things up because his arms and hips are too slow and not in sync with his weight shift in the lower legs and trunk I think...But who am I?http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/frown.gif Jenkins goes with the leg lift, but Prince sticks with the leg slide and pivot. Both will drive the ball and not get up under it so much and produce big for us. Don't worry. Prince is close. He is not far behind in his timing. They are coming up and end and he is getting a little over anxious a bit to make em pay. He must think 'back up the box' and he will get his head back right and start gapping and raking again like Rickie is doing now...Watch and see... Prince will be Batting King soon...you can count on that!http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif He will be alright.
  11. RWeeksUp2Bat23
    I like Gross in CF...move Hall to LF. Platoon Hart in CF and LF. When he is in LF Hall will be in the INF...at 3B or SS or 2B like Freel was used tonite.
  12. RWeeksUp2Bat23
    Yes he is getting better at turning the dp and on his pivot and getting the ball out of his glove quick on that exchange and making a snap and accuarate throw. One day he is gonna keep working every day like he is with Dale and Robin before the game and is gonna be able to be a good as he wants to be. Even other broadcasters and all say how they see him taking in grounders before games. His pitchers and his teamates have to love to see that. Many on this team do not settle for average. They want to be the best! It's great to see!
  13. RWeeksUp2Bat23
    You mean lets beat these C-bags?
  14. RWeeksUp2Bat23
    Rickie has not had a single error in one exact month! Just outstanding play in the field lately. Albeit minus the wind blown double in Wrigley Field against a horrid and swirling wind and this SportsTurf in between hop at the Metrodome with all the seams and skipping the ball does on that surface. Excuses? No...just inexperience. He is ok... Two very tough places to play for a young player to field let alone a veteran player with the 'elements' to deal with. Yes it is part of baseball but you go out there and do it...and come back to me... Both plays could have ended the inning I believe as well...He is working hard and looks very smooth and very natural in the field, not lost and pressing like he did early on.
  15. RWeeksUp2Bat23
    My guy Rickie could not flag that grounder down, the next guy Jones doubles in the run. Had Rickie come up with he would have thrown him out says Uecker...That's baseball... Darn it! Grrrrrrrrrrr. That' alright Rickie will win this with his bat...hopefully. Brewers 3 Cubs 3
  16. RWeeksUp2Bat23
    Gross looks good in CF. He makes it look easy, he judges and sees the ball off the bat well and get excellent jumps and makes strong throws.. He is a natural player. Very smooth. Reminds me a little not a lot of my favorite CF of all time for style Boston's Fred Lynn. Loved Fred Lynn going after a fly ball. CF is the position I always wanted to be good at and play so I am hard on CF's and appreciate good ones. I can tell when you are in over your head too out there...But Gross looks the part and plays the part too. I was impressed with him out there tonite from my seat...
  17. RWeeksUp2Bat23
    Well I just arrived back home in Milwaukee from my trip to Wrigley Field, and the 'Crew did me right tonite! They did us proud all around! Wrigley Field was as beautiful as ever...those people may lose but they still know how to fill up a house and put on a show. That franchise is good for the grand ole' game. Say what you want, it is always a thrill to go back to Wrigley Field. I saw Greg Maddux and Jamie Moyer throw their first big league pitches years ago as an employee for the Cubs. Now Grag and Jamie have come full circle. There was talk they would both be great and that is what they are today. Good to see... But our 'Brew Crew was awesome. Lee started things off with his bomb and then Capuano pitched masterfully all night and got some inspiring plays behind him in Gross (looks like a nautral in CF) and Jenks in right with diving robs of hits and a great play in front of me by Koskie! Great glove work! But the treat was "The Dynasty" himself, Prince Fielder. Man can this young man hit a baseball! Prince launced two big monstrous jacks he crushed off good pitches, and against a strong wind that was blowing in from left that other hitters tried but couldn't hit out!!! Great performance...I wanted to get mad and say where was this against the lowly Royals but the Cubs are a mess right now and I was happy to see the "Big Three" Lee, Jenks, and Prince step up today... Now that is what I am talking about!

    Unreal. This tells you all you need to know. In the NBA you have games that defines a season. In baseball there is a series. For the first half you had the Pirates series and now this series that tells you where we are show you what is what. Don't talk to me about Lee. He is useless. Numbers can be decieving...That is why I am not really impressed with some stats. It is games like this you just say back up the wagon...and let the kids play. Get the best deal you can for him and lets move on.
  19. RWeeksUp2Bat23
    Ok hit somebody...bases loaded they are raking the ball in the getaway day, worse team in the majors....lay someone out and dont let them get comfortable. Light a fire. This is pitiful. Terrible day...terrible. I say you back up the wagon. This tells you what you all need to know. Dont talk to me about Carlos Lee. Where was he? Where?
  20. RWeeksUp2Bat23
    Hopefully a light will go on and our club learns what you have to do night in and night out to get it done playing every day n the big leagues. It is a long season and you look back at games like this and shake your head... But you get up and go get them tommorrow to salvage this series. Hang n there ' Brew Crew!
  21. RWeeksUp2Bat23
    Well this one bites....hope Billy gets well. I heard he was a little sick. I am too. I dont know if Yost benched Hall or not but the bar must be raised and boundaries set for our young Professionals. You need to be taught how to win against teams you should beat and not give games away like this. Get well Billy we need you. And we also need to make the rountine play and get the wins we know we should get. It's a process...we will get there. You can bank on it.
  22. RWeeksUp2Bat23
    Wait a minute....Barnwell is in? Hall is yanked? Powell mentioned Barnwell. Did they yank Hall? Let me shut up and listen...Royals go up 6-5
  23. RWeeksUp2Bat23
    What the hell is this? Oh no....base hit two runs are in... Darn. Game tied. Meltdown. This is not a contender this is a pretender. Darn it! Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr Brewers 5 Royals 5 Gonzalez coming on. Pathetic! This is ridiculous. Two errors by the right side of the infield. Davis cant throw strikes. I say move him and Lee and get some pitching and a prospect. Not Jenkins.
  24. RWeeksUp2Bat23
    A cutter got too much of the plate says Jim Powell and Davis gives up a homer just before I was about to post a 'now lets hold em boys'....now I was too late?
  25. RWeeksUp2Bat23
    Hey Rickie doubles to right...drives in two with bases loaded....that's our boy! 3-1 Brew Crew.... Yes...two more score on Koskie single!!!!
