I like that people can sponsor pages on baseball-reference.com Apparently Tom Booth has decided to spend the 50 bucks to sponsor Franklin Stubbs page. Interesting choice of spending. This may be for another thread but I'm interested in who everyone on here would choose to sponsor. I'd take Branyan in a heart beat. -
Can we all agree that Hall's contract for his production is atleast one of the 3 worst in team history?
-
That suffocating feeling this team gives you when Hart and Hardy aren't hitting is finally starting to go away.
-
Look I don't want to spend all night on this. Is it not fairly common knowledge that Bill Hall is a poor player overall? Gallardo is the ace of the staff, he's young, and the team wants to extend him. Hall on the other hand is overpaid, isn't producing, and I'm sure management is looking forward to the day he is off the books. I know you can't assume the double play. I'm sure if we look back at other In-Game Threads there have been innings where the pitcher had several walks or just wasn't pitching well and Prince or Rickie made an error. I don't recall too many people defending them with the same enthusiasm I've seen in the defense of Hall tonight. That is all. You're welcome to your opinion. I'll read it and consider it but I just don't have the energy to debate Bill Hall's playing ability vs a bad inning for Gallardo.
-
Well it wasnt an easy play and the ball was hit a little harder than 'rolling' and that is why you don't assume the double play. He happened to bobble the ball and if Gallardo didnt walk to bases loaded the point is moot. People like to blame different players at different points of the year for whatever happens. Billy has been kicked enough. Get over it. We need to pitch better. I tend to be more tolerant of a player who usually performs well than a player who surprises you with good play.
-
What does one have to do with another? If Bill Hall who is virtually useless with a bat in his hand picked up the rolling ball that was hit right to him and through it to second base without bobbling it, it's a double play. Can't that idea stand on it's own?
-
awesome!
-
If Gamel is sent down who do you call up though? The Hurricane? Hey J.J. with a hit! Alright, maybe that gets his confidence back a little.
-
179.95 plus shipping and handling for a brick that may or may not even be from monument park! Wow, just wow. Who buys that?
-
I don't remember Trevor blowing a save. Wasn't his one run that he gave up in a tie game? Just looked at his stats and he is 15 for 15. How is the world wide leader so consistantly wrong?
-
I'm sure glad I gave this game another inning before deciding to go watch Major League. At first I was afraid of Pavano coming out of the game. Then they said Greg Aquino was warming up. Kind of excited for that as well.
-
I know this is just one game but maybe this will result in less calling for Rivera to play more. I'd take Kendalls lack of a bat but solid defense over this performance.
-
hahahaha yeah, that's why tonight is Major League night. Because Buffalo is in town.
-
Uecker on ESPN now, glad I switched from FSWisconsin

yeah I'm having the same problem with the sound, really annoying

That may be the case AJAY I just don't recall people complaining about it. When Sheets struck out 20 against the Braves people discussed the sun on the batters eye. It just wasn't a negative thing that day. When the team is winning the shadows are a non issue. I'm sure some people like yourself have disliked it all along though.
-
I'm not saying that no one else has ever complained but the Brewers have played in this stadium for 8+ years. Seems like if the team had won 6 of the last 7 we wouldn't be hearing these comments. I just don't recall other players complaining this way about shadows.
-
Fair enough. I've never thought he was going to be a great player I just wondered why more people didn't keep that perspective atleast. He is who he is. The team drafted him and by making it to the big leagues he's accomplished more than most. By being traded for Gerut the pick it self was helpful to the team. I know 26 isn't young but I wonder if being left behind while so many other prospects reached the big leagues faster than most prospects normally do messed with his head last season.
-
I'm curious then if he reaches base at a high rate and keeps his stolen base percentage high and steals a lot of bases does that negate his lack of extra base hitting? I'm not trying to compare him to Lyle Overbay but he was the first doubles hitter with little speed I could think of. If the player ends up on second base at the same rate... I'm just of the opinion that too much is being made of TGJ's slugging percentage.
-
Where did you hear that? Everything I had read was that he was going to get his GED this year, junior college next year, draft eligible in 2011.

I wonder if growing up on TV and going through puberty on TV affected him. There's something about the way his character stayed in that high pitch voice like he still hadn't hit puberty long after it was obvious Dustin Diamond had. At the moment I can't figure out the signifigance of it but I keep thinking of Bob Saget and how he was Full House's and America's Funniest Home Videos wholesome Dad type. Now the guy has gone on to tell some of the most profane jokes as a stand up comedian. Like these people are playing super wholesome clean cut characters and when they are finally done playing the character they freak out and go extreme the other way in some form. Bob Saget with his profane humor, Dustin Diamond with being a jerk and doing that adult movie years back.

This may be for another thread but it seems to apply to TGJ. I understand OPS but I don't understand the opinion that it is so important for every player. He seems to play great defense, has good speed and is still youngish. I don't get the obsession that every players OPS needs to be .800 or higher. It used to be that a 2b, SS, C, maybe even CF could get away with not being much of a hitter as long as they play great defense. On a team like the Brewers that seem to be very all or nothing (HR or K) why not have a player like TGJ? So what if he has no power. I'm not saying he should start over Cameron, Braun or Hart but he would have been a cheap CFer next year. If you get power out of a position that doesn't typically provide it like 2B and SS like Weeks and Hardy provide I think it would have been ok to play TGJ next year. I'm not a huge TGJ fan but I've never understood the hatred for him as a player. Even if he is the type of player you don't like why take it out on him? The team drafted him and continued to keep him around. All he can do is his best and I always thought he was doing that.

bacon- I took more issue with the fact that he says he wants to play for the Yankees. Simple logic says that he will be a top 5 pick and that the Yankees won't be there to pick him. What does that say to whatever team that picks him? As soon as he can leave to go to NY he's leaving. Theres no pro team in Nevada so I can't fault him for being a Yankee fan but why does he want to play there? Is it their history and tradition? Or is it the money? I'd bet that it's the money. So you have a 16 year old who states that he wants to be a hall of famer, best player to ever play the game and make as much money as possible. All with out mentioning that he's interested in winning a championship. I'm not sure I'd draft him.

Buck and McCarver are the worst in my opinion. Then again I haven't had the pleasure of hearing todays game.
