    Don’t want to see Miller at third any more than necessary. His arm is weak and, as just shown, not that accurate.

    I did mean that the scalding took place on Friday not the mismanaging, but I can see how it might sound like that. I chose the wording the way I did (instead of “mismanaging the pen on Friday” ) because the comments are on the Friday game thread. I don’t remember anyone saying on Tuesday “Why is he bringing in Wilson (even though he hasn’t pitched in 6 days). This might come back to bite him in a few days if he has to use Wilson for multiple innings tomorrow if Miley only goes 4 innings and all of Milner, Peguero, Payamps and Williams each of the next two days to pull out wins.”

    The second guessing on the board on Friday wasn’t so much that he made a mistake on Friday but that his mistake on Tuesday (using Wilson for an inning) put him in the position he got into on Friday.

    I was an avid Strat O Matic player back in my college and grad school days in the 70’s. The thing there is that, unlike real baseball, if you know what you’re doing, the precise mathematical probabilities are staring you in the face. But many times the dice and cards wouldn’t produce the desired result. At least there you knew you made the correct move and could just blame bad luck. Plus, there were no fans telling you how stupid you are.

    You mean this one?

    Like I said, I don’t care much what they do, but it is certain that if just writers and the Commissioner’s office made the selections, there would still be plenty of controversy over who gets selected and who gets “snubbed”. When they took away the fan vote in 1957 after the Cincinnati ballot stuffing episode (which you may or may not know about) they found interest in the game waning. So, they put a fan voting system in place again in the 70’ s and there has been some form of it ever since. Take the vote away from fans and have a bunch of writers (who have their own biases) applying various standards to make selections probably wouldn’t make you any happier if a Brewer or some other player that you think is deserving isn’t selected. It’s not like fans are universally satisfied with writers’ selections on postseason awards.

    I have been thinking that as I listen to Rotino go on and on about how Counsell outwitted Ross by setting up the Kay vs Jones matchup. If Jones pops up the first pitch you’d be hearing “how can you put a guy like that up there in that spot, and then he swings at the first pitch”. This is the same manager that was.scalded on this board on Friday for mismanaging the bullpen.

    Thank you for that strike 3 call. A surprising and great win made doubly good considering the opponent

    For those of you who don’t remember Schoop’s one shining moment as a Brewer.
  10. BruisedCrew
    One more walk or HBP would be nice here.
  11. BruisedCrew
    Not completely true. I was at the game when Schoop had the big moment of his Brewers career, hitting a grand slam HR of Bumgarner just after he had drilled Braun with a pitch.
  12. BruisedCrew
    Counsell looks good with that maneuver. I saw that ball and was thinking “don’t bounce over the wall”.
  13. BruisedCrew
    3 more walks and it’s a game.
  14. BruisedCrew
    I really wish Adames would go to the plate more often thinking that a single would be OK. So often he puts himself in a hole trying to hit one 600 feet.
  15. BruisedCrew
    I was just hearing that they have been very good for the last month or so. Regardless, if the bullpen is mediocre, as opposed to horrifically bad, it shouldn’t be surprising that a manager wouldn't hesitate to go to it to face the Brewers lineup. They haven’t had anything remotely resembling a hit since the pitching change.
  16. BruisedCrew
    The Cubs don’t really have a mediocre bullpen. Not sure if the Brewers can score 3 more runs unless they can draw 6 walks in an inning.
  17. BruisedCrew
    You won’t often see 3 more pitiful ABs to squander a chance to get back in the game.
  18. BruisedCrew
    Ironically, right after Levering made a sarcastic comment about Turang not getting a hit yesterday because of a “questionable (no surprise)” scoring decision in Pittsburgh. I hope he wasn’t talking about the dribbler that the pitcher threw away.
  19. BruisedCrew
    I didn’t say anyone did say it. Everyone knows Yelich has a weak arm, but bringing it up on an irrelevant play in an irrelevant part of the game seems odd.
  20. BruisedCrew
    I wouldn’t look forward to watching a guy making his MLB debut face that lineup either. Between Abbott on Saturday and whoever for the Brewers on Sunday the Reds are going to have pitching advantages in that series too, not to mention a much stronger lineup.
  21. BruisedCrew
    Yelich’s arm and a runner going from first to third with two outs is not in the top 100 of the Brewers problems.
  22. BruisedCrew
    Party time for Cubs fans. Not looking forward to seeing Teheran face the Reds lineup Sunday if the Brewers stick with the 6 man rotation.
  23. BruisedCrew
    I’m curious what your proposal would be for selecting All Star rosters. I’ll preface my comments by saying that who gets selected for the All Star Game is very low on my list of things in sports that I care about. With the predominant use of the game’s best closers to pitch much of the game, a game that was already a meaningless exhibition has become a dull exhibition. Your comments suggest that you would prefer a statistical evaluation to choose players over selecting fan favorites or players selected by their peers. That would seem to have the potential to make the game even less appealing to the public, which might prefer seeing an established star like Mike Trout over some Joe Nobody who happens to have a slightly higher FWAR + over the first 10 weeks of this season.
  24. BruisedCrew
    Maybe a couple of failures to make spectacular plays but, for the second outing in a row Teheran isn’t fooling anyone.
  25. BruisedCrew
    I would take that right now if offered. With all of the holiday activities going on I expect the Cubs to have the home crowd advantage today and tomorrow too.
