To be really effective, make her watch the entire game. No going home early.

You seem to be suggesting that a 4.92 ERA over 16 starts could rightfully convince Melvin that Wolf is really not one of the 5 best starting pitchers on the Brewers? It could be his 87mph fastball, agonizingly slow and predictable curve-ball, and frequent loss of control that would convince me. But if I'm paying him $10M per you better believe he is in the rotation.
-
Oh well, back to crummy baseball. Guess it was fun for a week at least.
-
The vaunted Brewer 3-4 hitters? Hopefully the Astros brought their Easy button, because that was easy.
-
Of course Jackson got lucky. He's lucky to be in MLB period. It takes plenty of luck to throw a 300 game in bowling. But if you can do it on TV for the big bucks then I'm impressed. Guess I am impressed with people who have good luck, because I don't have much (monetarily anyway). Player skill is developed over a large sample, not a single game. I simply will never get on board with this, because I have seen athletes progress and find something in their skill set that enables them to improve seemingly overnight. The school of thought that you always need three years of data to validate an evaluation of where a player's skill lies will always miss this talent, or will be too late to recognize it and too late to see when the talent is all used up.

What's even odder is how Wolf continues to struggle with Kottaras.
-
If was allowed to start 30 games he'd end up being worth about 3 wins I disagree. He's not the same pitcher he was two years ago. And his personality issues are getting worse.
-
Bud Norris is terrible. Remember that Brewer hitters.
-
I absolutely love it when a player's actual name triggers the stringent language filter here. There are about five words that actually need to be filtered out, and Deryk's last name (one who hooks) is not one of them.
-
The obvious guy to replace right now is Randy Wolfpan, but that certainly isn't going to happen for two more years. So I'd assume Narveson to the bullpen and Capuano is traded or released. He's just wasting away in the bullpen and not providing anything to the Brewers right now. Braddock is coming in and getting guys out. I don't see how Melvin could take him away from Macha right now.

I doubt a shutout in June of 2010 is going to matter much to whomever is negotiating with Gallardo's agent in the 2014 or 2015 offseason. Probably not, but if its one of many they may start to add up. I sure hope the same people complaining about Yo pitching the 9th yesterday are the same ones who were complaining about him pinch-hitting a month ago.
-
Glad to see the Brewers were able to tighten up the AL Central race a bit. The Twins might not be as good as they and their fans think they are.
-
If the Crew can handle the Mariners/Astros at home (take 5 or 6), next week's four game set in St. Louis will be a season-defining series. Take two or more in St. Louis and this team may be able to hang in there.
-
If the score would have been 5-1, Gallardo would have been lifted after 8 IP. CGSOs are a relatively big deal for pitchers, and Yo was still dealing. Not sure what the fuss is over this one.
-
I will still need a Mariners sweep and at least two of three (if not all three) from Houston. A 9-0 home stand would do wonders for my hope.
-
I was thinking the same thing, and at the same time wondering what Hoffman must be thinking. A two run lead is not safe for him to enter the game, but a three run lead is. Maybe that is how Macha has laid it out to him, but if that was the case he should have been warming up when there was a solid threat of scoring another run.
-
Not sure why anyone would be itching to see Trevor Hoffman pitch in a meaningful situation. He is pretty much the reason why the Brewers are 9 games under .500. However, Axford has to be off limits today. So go with Hoffman if needed and hold your breath.
-
Heck, I'd fire Macha and hire Speedy Gonzales!Hahahahha! Just make sure to hire Speedy, and not his cousin Slowpoke Rodriguez.
-
but high scoring games are rarely great sports spectacles. Blowouts aren't great sports spectacles (uhhh, 7-0 ring a bell?), but closely contested high scoring affairs are certainly better than the frustration of a nil-nil ending.
-
They will disallow the goal later tonight.
-
I try to like the sport, mainly because I respect the athletes so much. But FIFA is an awful organization. No wonder hooligans brawl, and people sound vuvuzelas the entire game. Its too painful to pay complete attention to the game. Score or go home, I'm on the fence as to what I want to happen.
-
Its almost like Macha is just winging it. Why have Axford warm up in the 7th and then use him for a 2 inning save? It looks like Macha is using Axford like he is his #1 bullpen arm (which he is). He'll use him in the highest leverage situation, to try and scrape away as many wins as possible. I have to agree with it, because Axford is THE MAN! So glad Macha went with Axford for a second inning rather than try to get the other guy his 59whatever-eth save. Gotta win games at this point. If they can't do it with their best available, there will be plenty of meaningless time in August and September to get Hell's Bells his save milestone.
-
I read your mind benji.
-
I'm just HATE when the manager of the team I root for starts talking nonsense. How about someone teach the guy about defensive substitution? Why does Macha have Edmonds in CF with a 4 run lead in the 8th inning?
-
So you are saying you want Fielder to swing at garbage pitches. I'd say his BA and SLG% shows he is either swinging at garbage pitches or not hitting good pitches.
