    I'll be at the Marriott Boston Cambridge. Flying in tomorrow morning and trying to find tickets on the street if we make it in time tomorrow. Sitting 6 rows behind home plate on Sunday.

    The Brewers could go 10-0 on the road trip and people would be calling for a new manager. That's not a great barometer for the success of the road trip. I'll be happy with 5-5. Anything better would be great!

    Yea I really would yank Sheets in a 3-0 game with the #8 and #9 hitters due up. If he gets Bennett you yank him after the 7th with a 3-0 defecit. The HR by Bennett was the shocker. Edit: Was so pissed typing that..I forgot to change it to Blue, but that should be pretty obvious.

    Why on earth would you want Gagne to get hurt? He's the best chance the Brewers have at getting production in the 9th inning. He already went through a great stretch in the middle of April and will end up with 40+ saves most likely. Mota is a good middle-inning guy, but just not cut out to be a closer like Gagne is.
  5. mikerollins
    Wow. Watching Mota try to close out a game is absolutely excrusiatingly painful. That's why you can't have a closer by committee and just throw anyone out there for the 9th. Gagne has to be the closer on this team. I understand he pitched 3 out of 4 days and wasn't going tonight, but he needs to be the closer in all save situations when he is available.
  6. mikerollins
    I would think it is something more "mechanical" then "philosophical". What I mean by that is, probably something along the lines of arm angle, or grip on the ball, or location on the rubber. Not something like "throw more first pitch strikes". That's pretty much common sense, I would think. I think Gagne's stuff has looked really good all year, but he has just hit some bad luck, and some bad pitch locations at bad times. Hopefully the mino adjustment will help him get back to dominating form like he was for 3 weeks in April

    Well seriously..with a team THIS talented..to actual post a poll wondering if the we'd see .500 again after dipping 1 game below after a tough 9 game road trip..... We were just asking for people to say "haha told you so." To post this poll when it was posted was stupid at best, but more likely idiotic. Of course they were going to see .500 again.
  8. mikerollins
    So 2 days out of the closers role doesn't count as a mental break to you? What would constitute a mental break in your mind? 4 days? 6 days? 3 weeks? 1 month 3 days 4 hours and 23 minutes? He took two days out of the closer role. To me, that was the mental break he needed.
  9. mikerollins
    I don't know what's more shocking...the fact that this poll was even started after a tough road trip to dip below .500? Or the fact that 19% of the posters on this board actually thought the brewers wouldnt see .500 again? I don't know what makes me keep coming back to this board, but I do. It must be the crazy fans who panic everytime a baseball team hits a bit of a skid during a 162 game season. The over-under on number of times a similar type of poll is started this season.....claiming the season is a lost one......is 3....and I'll take the over. Once in June, Once in August...and twice in September.

    Why do you need a 1-2-3 save? Does it make you sleep better at night? Does it make you feel better about yourself?? The guy just recorded 5 outs in the 9th inning. They should give him credit for 2 saves after the botched DP and the strikeout of Andruw Jones before the walk.
  11. mikerollins
    Good to have Gagne back where he belongs. Closing games. Now everyone else can assume their roles where they belong and we know who has the 9th inning.
  12. mikerollins
    Yea he gave up a single. And a walk after he struck out Andruw Jones. This is what makes players love playing for Ned Yost. He is loyal almost to a fault and players can respect that.
  13. mikerollins
    Good to see Gagne up. Time to get him on track as the team is starting to heat up. Once he gets in a groove...it's all pistols firing for this team.
  14. mikerollins
    Hmmm...Gamel can hit. Branyan can't. I guess I don't see your logic. At all.
  15. mikerollins
    To win the NL Central and make any noise in the playoffs, this team needs an effective Eric Gagne. The faster we get him back on track, the better. I say if you have a 2 or 3 run lead in the Dodgers series you hand him the ball and hope a save gets his confidence back. I would keep him in Milwaukee for the trip to Boston for a "mental/physical" break and off day on Monday, then he can rejoin the team on Tuesday as the closer again. He has hit some bad luck, bad location with some pitches, and lack of confidence issues. 2 of the 3 can easily be corrected and the 3rd evens out over the course of the year. I still think he'll save close to 40 games.
  16. mikerollins
    Gagne needs to be the closer for this team to succeed. I think this is a knee-jerk by Yost reacting to fans and Gagne's comments. We are talking about a guy who has saved about (i didnt look it back up) 160 out of 170 games in his career until this year. He'll get it straightened out and we need him to get it straightened out. It didn't help having him get booed after the first flippin' single yesterday.

    Gagne needs to be the closer on this team for them to make a deep run in September. You're talking about a guy that saved about 160 out of 170 games in his career until this year. He's run into a string of bad location and bad luck. It doesn't help to get booed after the first single yesterday. We have to get him straightened out and the playoffs are a real possibility.

    What channel is FSN-WI on Dish Network? I'm at a relative's house and they have Dish. Thanks.
  19. mikerollins
    Must not have been paying attention. It was the 4th game in a row that he played, including a start on Thursday night. There's only one game in the entire month of May that he hasn't played.
  20. mikerollins
    If we beat the Cards 9-0 tonight and continue to win games 2 and 3, let's avoid the IGT on Monday too to complete the sweep. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gifhttp://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif Then we can bring it back on Tuesday for the Dodgers. haha. I'm only kidding, but this team needs a spark and maybe no IGT will be just the spark they need. God baseball fans (like me) are superstitious. Have a great weekend away Woogie.

    And zero percent? That's just not accurate******* yes it is. 0.0000000000000% coaches coach. trainers train. if the trainer gives the thumbs up sign the manager/coach should treat it as if nothing happened. its on the trainer to go tell the manager if a player can or can not go. its so basic I can't even belief anybody would think otherwise??? I don't think it mattered if they left him in or not because it was most likely already torn but that decision always in all sports falls under the job of the trainer. ask any trainer or coach at the college or professional level and they will tell you.
  22. mikerollins
    Anyone that has any clue about how sports work knows all the coach does is ask the trainer "is he ok to play?" if the trainer says "yes" the coach plays the player. its coaching 101. never interfer with the medical staff. 0% of the blame on this goes to the coaches and manager.
  23. mikerollins
    Tough outcome for Sheeter so far but good to see the velocity and curve ball are both as good as ever. a little wildness was to be expected after 10 days off.
  24. mikerollins
    Technician JUST left my house because the wind storm we had in Madison on Saturday altered my signal of all the new HD channels (ESPNEWS, Big Ten Network, USA, 642, and some of the extra innings channels). It's possible you need to have someone come out and reposition your dish.
  25. mikerollins
    He's not though. He's one of the best in the game.
