    well, 4 catchers got in the game so far. how about a rottino sighting?
  2. DrWood
    he also got an outfield assist. probably was the best OF arm in the org when he was with us.
  3. DrWood
    parra started this game and bush relieved. maybe that means something. hope so.
  4. DrWood
    I think you only dump guys that WON'T make the roster for prospects, or for a guy that will make the roster (although maybe reviled like the clark for dessens trade). I can't see the upside of making the team worse, when you realistically are a playoff team.

    last three seasons the difference was .08, .13, and .14 between AL and NL ERA. I had thought it was higher than that.
  6. DrWood
    and that would be to defy logic? http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

    well, pena made it interesting. 2 hits, a walk, two strikeouts, and a flyball to leave the bases loaded.
  8. DrWood
    is this foreshadowing? Luis Pena to close out a win?
  9. DrWood
    he just wanted to get another AB.

    bray, one run was unearned (E- Dillon)
  11. DrWood
    I think there has to be disclosure by rule. there is in NFL.
  12. DrWood
    I thought that's what the pay-per-view movies were for.
  13. DrWood
    do you get the .42 run per game when you have craig counsell doing the PH? That seems higher than the difference between AL and NL ERA, and that includes some PH.
  14. DrWood
    ah, wonderful Lake Woebegon, where all of our children are above average.Every team has below-average pitchers.
  15. DrWood
    The biggest problem is that the 4th and 5th starters would pitch in about 60 games, getting about 2 innings per game (really, less than that if they NEVER hit). when is the last time a guy pitched 120 innings in 60 games? Probably at least 20 years ago. OK, you could have more than 2 guys take those roles, so that they pitch less than 60 games, but then you need a bigger staff. Even with a 12 man staff, it's hard to have a bench that can supply 4 decent pinch hitters in a game. So basically, I don't think you could make it work outside of September. I do have an idea I think would work, if you could get the pitchers to buy into it. Basically, you'd have the best, sufficiently rested, pitcher pitch at all times, perhaps having a specialist or three to setup, close or face lefties. Your best pitcher would be always starting, because if he's sufficiently rested, he'd be the first guy to get the ball. You could go with a smaller staff, probably, and shuffle an extra guy onto the 25 if the staff is getting worked hard. The worst pitcher on the staff would get used in blowouts or during a period when other guys are getting worked over. With a smaller staff, you'd have an extra hitter to get more PH opportunities.

    to make me look smart. I've made a couple of posts on a MLB-wide forum that Weeks has potential to have a stat line like .285/.410/.500/.910 with 25+ HR and 30+ SB, and have had a bit of ridicule directed towards me. I saw an article that actually suggested Weeks might break out this year and put up numbers like the Reds' Phillips. To that I say, "I hope not"! If Weeks average is the same as phillips, his OBP should be about 80 points higher.

    flambeed oyster pie?

    here's a link to a discussion on testicular torsion: http://www.emedicine.com/EMERG/topic573.htm
  19. DrWood
    torsion of the testicle is pretty serious if not dealt with. The cord that supplies the teste with blood gets twisted. Basically, the teste can DIE. Painful, too.
  20. DrWood
    man, plenty of dumb comments on that JS page.
  21. DrWood
    I don't think there is any reason to hate on Dillon. rottino can play 1b, too, if he makes the team.
  22. DrWood
    I don't think it really matters much. If rottino were a couple of years younger, then he'd be more than a feel-good story. basically, they are three guys that are on the margins of being a MLB player.
  23. DrWood
    where you been fan? spending time with Jeffress, getting clean? http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

    well, it's good to get out of the cycle where substance use is habitual. That's where rehab can help, even if he's not addicted and doesn't have withdrawal. the only "cure" is if he doesn't get into the situations where he used. If that is related to this friends, he needs to sever ties with them. we ARE our habits.

    I don't think it was surgery exactly. my understanding is they do something to induce the arhythmia, find out the minute portion of the heart that is responsible for it, then do **something** to kill that minute bit of tissue. I don't know exactly what is going on, but they aren't cracking his chest or anything. of course, I'd be scared (nearly) to death if it was happening to me.
