    Gotta use him sooner or later, why not now...

    That is crazy that Counsell still gets such a response from the fans in Arizona.

    Hey there's a hit with RISP. Actually Cameron has been money lately in those situations.

    Make that 0-6 with runners in scoring position.

    Wow we have 3 runs while going 0-4 with runners in scoring position.

    Right now, the Brewers are tied for 8th in all MLB with turning 78 double plays, an average of exactly one per game. The Rangers are 1st with 96 and the D-backs are last with 54. Check out the team fielding stat page at mlb.com.

    Lackey is the one name that looks interesting to me, but at this point, I can't see the Angels declining that option.

    The Indians acquired 36-year-old Sal Fasano from the Braves, who was hitting .193 in AAA Richmond, to apparently be the backup catcher while Victor Martinez is out. Fasano spent some time with AAA Indianapolis in 2002.

    We just gained 3 games on the whole NL Central. Cubs? Check. Swept by Tampa. Cards? Check. Swept by KC. Astros? Check. Swept by Baltimore. Reds? Check. Swept by LA. Pirates? Yep, them too. Swept by the Sox.

    May 28, 1988: 35-year-old journeyman Odell Jones makes his first start since 1981, filling in for an injured Teddy Higuera. Athough Jones had pitched well so far in only 7 relief appearances that season, and he'd gotten the win 5 days earlier in a 5-inning relief outing replacing Higuera in the 2nd inning, he had spent the whole year prior in the minor leagues, and he had basically bounced back and forth between the minors and the majors his whole career. All that to say, this was a much less likely story even than Dave Bush... but Jones set down the first 22 Indians in order before a walk to Mel Hall ruined the perfect game bid. Noticeably tiring as he reached the 90-pitch mark (he'd only thrown 54 pitches his previous game), but hanging on to the 2-run lead, he retired the final 2 batters of the 8th, and struck out the first batter of the 9th before pinch-hitter Ron Washington dropped a soft opposite-field liner into shallow right. Dan Plesac then came in the game and after an infield single, retired the final two hitters to preserve the 2-hit shutout. This is one of the few games I remember like it was just the other day. Odell Jones may have had a non-descript career, but he has a place in my book of Brewer history. Edit: Sorry, didn't see that there was another thread talking about Odell Jones. I knew I couldn't be the only one that remembered that game.

    I wasn't against the move when we signed him, but I definitely now agree that we don't need him.

    Abraham Nunez's stay with the Mets was short; he was DFA 6 days after being called up. He received 2 uneventful plate appearances. Joe Thatcher once again optioned by the Padres; his latest call-up lasted all of 2 days and 1 relief appearance. Al Reyes placed on the DL once again by the Rays. Marino Salas recalled again by the Pirates, but is struggling - now after his latest outing his big-league ERA sits at 11.17. Robinson Cancel is back with the Mets. On Sunday, he delivered a 6th-inning pinch-hit 2-run single which ended up winning the game. Anyone checked up on Chris Coste lately? As a 35-year-old part-time catcher with the Phillies, he's batting over .300 with an OPS of .900 - he didn't even make the big leagues until age 33, and was originally an undrafted indy-league signing at age 26 by the Indians. He spent one year at Brewers' AAA team in Indianapolis in 2004 before signing with the Phillies. Sounds like a good story.

    It is too bad things like this need to be reported in the news. I know it's public information, but I feel like there are certain personal issues we shouldn't really care about. I wouldn't put too much of this blame on Cecil though. It's Prince's income, it needs to be reported as such on Prince's tax return, and Prince should be aware that Prince owes the money. Whether or not Cecil took the money from Prince's signing bonus is really irrelevant to who owes the tax.

    Looks like Richie Sexson could be let go by Seattle. It is disappointing to see the former Brewer viewed like Hammonds was here. Hopefully he will get another chance to resurrect his career with another team that won't have so much money invested in him. Link

    Dan Reichert (AAA Indianapolis, 2004) signed a minor league contract with Cleveland. Drew Anderson was outrighted off of Cincinnati's 40-man roster, but is still with AAA Louisville. Robinson Cancel was only with the Mets a couple days while Raul Casanova was on bereavement leave. However, Casanova has now also been DFA. Joe Thatcher has yo-yoed back up with San Diego. Glendon Rusch optioned to AAA by Colorado. Luis Vizcaino (Colorado) and Ronnie Belliard (Washington) activated from the DL.

    Of all the hitters that have had more than 40 PA against Oswalt: #1 Kendall .395 BA #2 Geoff Jenkins .365 BA #3 Hall .342 BA

    These points have basically been covered, but I would be surprised if the Brewers trade Hall. 1) They very well may need him to be the regular 3B again this season. We are riding out Branyan's hot streak, but I think he still needs to prove he is a reliable option over the rest of the season. 2) Even if Branyan sticks, Hall has very good value as a backup and against LHP. Most likely this value is not going to be realized in a trade. These are my answers to the agent's not-so-rhetorical question "If you were the Brewers, why wouldn't you move him?"

    Davis' 2 starts against the Brewers last year were 2 different stories. He had a quality start on July 18, matching up well with Chris Capuano. This was the last time the Brewers played in a matchup of starting pitchers against their former teams. The D-backs won 5-2 with a Mark Reynolds 3-run HR in the 8th off Grant Balfour. On August 20, the Brewers nailed him for 3 runs in each of the first 2 innings -Fielder, Hall, and Gallardo each went deep- on their way to a 9-0 win, as Gallardo and Villanueva combined for the 5-hit shutout.

    Sickening, the Cubs come back from down 9-1 after 5 innings to win 10-9. They can't really keep this up, can they?

    Glendon Rusch is supposed to be called up by the Rockies to make a start on Saturday. Not officially announced yet. I didn't realize he had changed organizations but apparently the Rockies claimed him after his DFA by the Padres earlier this year. Ray King and Jorge Sosa signed minor-league contracts with Houston. Grant Balfour back to the major leagues with Tampa Bay. From mlb.com, "Balfour has been virtually unhittable in Durham, going 1-0 with a 0.38 ERA and collecting eight saves in 15 appearances. Opponents at Triple-A were hitting just .067 off Balfour, and the righty allowed just one run in 23 2/3 innings."

    Why did he cut that off? Shouldn't he be backing up home, not standing in front of it?

    Joe Thatcher's latest stay in the majors was short-lived; optioned by the Padres. Raul Casanova is back with the Mets. While Doug Davis (Arizona) and Joe Borowski (Cleveland) are off the DL, Gary Sheffield (Detroit) and Matt Wise (Mets) are back on.
  23. mls4
    Joe Thatcher (Padres) and RA Dickey (Mariners) are back in the big leagues. To the DL: Gary Bennett (Dodgers), Chad Fox (Cubs), Ronnie Belliard (Nationals). Off the DL: Al Reyes (Rays). Abraham Nunez signs a minor-league deal with the Mets. Earlier DFAs by the Mets, Nelson Figueroa was outrighted, and Jorge Sosa was released.
  24. mls4
    I thought we had a day game today; a bit disappointing.
  25. mls4
    Why is he not on the DL already? This is really bugging me. Perfect chance to get him a few innings in the minors. I know pitching is short, but may as well give Pena or someone a chance rather than Gagne right now.
