    I see they just put that on TV. Hopefully this season will go better than that one.
  2. BruisedCrew
    Is this the first 4-0 since 1987?
  3. BruisedCrew
    That didn’t look like it was going to be a double play off the bat.
  4. BruisedCrew
    Defense not coming through this inning.
  5. BruisedCrew
    Probably not much different than usual. A high percentage of the fans that attend Opening Day don’t really care about the game if they manage to make it in from their tailgates.

    Pirates fans are saying the same thing. 😀

    Our seats are in the first row of the Terrace level just to the third base side of home plate. We've had them since 2007. I forget exactly what I paid this year but it's about $250 per seat for the 10 games plus the "free" 11th game.

    I get free MLB TV as part of my Brewers 10 pack.

    If you think the Brewers get screwed on ball and strike calls, you should see the pitch that an umpire just called a ball in the Braves Phillies game. With the bases loaded and two outs Fried through a 2-2 fastball right down the middle to Castellanos and the ump called it a ball. That was followed by ball four and a single for three undeserved runs and Fried left the game after throwing 40 pitches.. Check out a gamecast picture of that one.

    Not necessarily. He gets that strike and the following pitch sequence might be different.. He might not challenge Alonso with a fastball down the middle on 1-2 like he did on 2-1.
  11. BruisedCrew
    Probably not but some fans will think so.

    Brewers castoff Tyrone Taylor batting cleanup for the Mets.

    And then deal with the critics who complain that she says “he said” too often. I haven’t figured out yet exactly how she’s supposed to report on conversations, both when interpreting or summarizing off camera conversations.
  14. BruisedCrew
    Always nice to get that first one on the record.

    Hearing the “Let’s Go Mets” chants today reminds me of another of my favorite Opening Days. In 1973 the student radio station I broadcast for became an affiliate on the Mets network to add some programming and revenue that would allow it to continue broadcasting over the summer. As an affiliate all we had to do was contact the Mets and if there was availability they would leave us tickets. Opening Day wasn’t a big deal in NY in those days so a friend and I were able to get freebies. We drove the hour or so to Shea Stadium to see Hall of Famers Tom Seaver and Steve Carlton square off. Carlton had won 27 games the year before for a Phillies team that only won 57 games. The Mets rode 2 HR from Cleon Jones to beat the Phil’s 3-0 in a game that lasted an hour and 59 minutes. Good times. (Thanks to Baseball Reference for refreshing my memory on some of the details.)

    Ah, the first wasted scoring opportunity of the season.
  17. BruisedCrew
    I think I looked into this some time ago, and that the answer is that the ABs against LH starter include all ABs in a game started by a LHP, where the other reflects only ABs against a LHP (whether that pitcher was a starter or a reliever).
  18. BruisedCrew
    And people used to point to that to support the argument that Craig Counsell is a plus manager. Of course 86 wins is within the realm of possibility. But I hardly see it as the midpoint of reasonable expectations.
  19. BruisedCrew
    I saw that, but he appears to be using some Fangraphs projections and then ignoring others. If the point is that the offense is going to improve enough to overcome a significant decline in pitching, I'll put an "I'll believe it when I see it" on that. The everyday lineup is still littered with several players with no record of success in the big leagues.
  20. BruisedCrew
    Who are these starters that are above replacement level to take all of these starts? Especially when you factor in that more injuries to pitchers are all but certain. Even the most optimistic Brewer fans have to concede that the rotation is not great and that the depth is a concern when you factor in that several pitchers are already dealing with injuries and/or have a history of injuries.
  21. BruisedCrew
    So, you're using pieces of the Fangraphs projections to produce an expectation of 86 wins. But the Fangraphs projection for the Brewers is 80 wins. How do you reconcile that? Are you being too generous about the Brewers offense? Mediocre doesn't necessarily mean precisely league average.
  22. BruisedCrew
    I'd like to know what some people are smoking when they think this is a starting rotation that's going to pull a team with a mediocre offense to 85 wins or more.
  23. BruisedCrew
    It has now been officially postponed to Friday.
  24. BruisedCrew
    There’s a lot more to it as others have discussed. Your disagreement is noted. For one thing, almost half of the Brewers starts last year came from pitchers no longer on the roster. Are those starts going to be taken by pitchers who will cover as many innings and, as a group, be as effective as those pitchers? With potentially more innings to cover, will the bullpen be as effective as last year, even without a proven closer? Is the offense really going to be better than last year, and by enough to make up for what figures to be a less reliable pitching staff? Lots of big questions and several unproven players will be providing the answers.
  25. BruisedCrew
    The weather forecast for NYC tonight and tomorrow sounds very similar to what we had here the last few days. Rainy. I wouldn’t be surprised to hear, even as early as tonight, that the Mets are taking advantage of the built in off day to play Friday when conditions are expected to be much better.
