    I can only assume that Mr. Sheets read the attacks on his manliness on bf.net and set out to prove the doubters wrong.
  2. SoCalBrewfan
    In honor of our recent draft choice, it's an Errecart. (Error cart. Get it? Maybe if MassBrew said it...or would that be Errahcaht?)

    Four PA for Fielder and it looks like not a single pitch put in play...did he even foul anything off? Ol' Russ Branyan would be proud.

    I'm trying to remember the name of the backup catcher before we called up Rivera. He handled the pitchers well, Ned said...bat would come around. Can't quite come up with the name, though. Ah, loyal Ned.

    Is Capellan the main villain here? Yeah, a dinger to Hank White stinks, but it's the E5 that makes it costly. Oh, but wait...I stand corrected by mlb.com: Entering Thursday's game, the Brewers had played 11 consecutive errorless games, tying a franchise record set in July 1979. On one hand, that was not surprising, since Graffanino replaced Weeks, who had a Major League-worst 22 errors, and fellow newcomer David Bell is an outstanding defender.

    Turnbow mop-up inning anyone? That way Cordero could qualify for another save!

    The Bill Hall mini bobblehead doesn't look impressive, but it can fix a flat tire, erase malware from your computer, and vacuum your living room like a Roomba.

    There is dodging a bullet. After July, though, Turnbow stranding a runner on second with one out seems more improbable than running across no-mans-land at the Somme without a scratch.
  9. SoCalBrewfan
    Turnbow v. Belliard. Somehow seems even more dramatic than the situation dictates.
  10. SoCalBrewfan
    I suspect that he learned to love the White Sox, just in time for their swoon.

    Just remember, folks...a lock is like a hug from the moderators.

    Seeing Sheets' performance today, and Ohka's since his return, I can't help but think about what might have been...
  13. SoCalBrewfan
    Sadly, that is very nearly the single most effective inning by a Brewer reliever in July.
  14. SoCalBrewfan
    Here's my theory: Turnbow want's Carlos Lee's locker.
  15. SoCalBrewfan
    It would be unfortunate if a shortened game meant we didn't get to use the bullpen. [/blue]
  16. SoCalBrewfan
    Fielder's interference. Kid's a rookie and they're already naming things after him.
  17. SoCalBrewfan
    Clayton's .315 OBP in the 2-hole changes that Reds offense in a very pleasant way. Thanks, Mr. Krivsky.

    Would it be too much to ask for the young pups to go crazy for a couple of weeks, the pitching to stabilize, and this team to have a 12-3 run? Puh-leeze? I keep thinking they've got it in them...and I've seen the Twins and Angels do it after being left for dead...now the Braves as well I guess. Puh-leeze? I want to believe.

    With the major league pen in such dire straits, and with an apparent consensus that the pen is Dennis' ultimate home, I'm surprised they haven't tried Sarfate in the Nashville pen before this. This is his last option year, so there's no possibility of giving him a few months in the Sounds' bullpen next year...
  20. SoCalBrewfan
    What does Team Sybil have in store for us tonight: the clutch never-say die guys, the bullpen chokers, the wilted lettuce bats, or all of the above?
  21. SoCalBrewfan
    Inman. That's all I got.
  22. SoCalBrewfan
    Mark Prior has been scratched today Dog bites man. Politician lies. Sun rises in east. Of course Rusch could strike out 12 and win a 2-1 game the way things have gone.
  23. SoCalBrewfan
    By my count, the Stars actually need 2 pitchers now. Based on a petition by the rest of the league, Yo! counts as 3.

    Wow, I missed all the fireworks here. Getting to a point of substance here, though, wally wondered whether a given player might respond differently batting first or fifth in the order. (OK, actually, he asserted that they would and then went non-linear...but that's not what I want to address.) To my knowledge (admittedly very incomplete and out-of-date), that question has not been addressed...rather most studies of lineups have plugged in stat lines like strat-o-matic cards and then run simulations. The link russ posted has the following statement: They go on to add possible 'protection' as a factor they are ignoring. Now that's reasonable...any study has to make assumptions, and seek to answer limited questions lest it be completely untenable. But it makes me wonder...does anyone know whether this question has been studied systematically? Even if it's not a matter of sulking, but rather a player feeling pressure to take a different approach when hitting leadoff as opposed to cleanup, that seems like it might well be an effect...perhaps Weeks would put up a different statistical line batting 1st vs. 2nd vs. 6th. Any references to studies of this nature?
