  1. Spivey's turn for a HR. The Brewers have 9 HRs by 8 different players, none by Jenkins or Helms. No, all three of those runs are unearned.
  2. Anyone able to watch the game that can tell me what happened here?? According to the radio, Spivey threw the ball past Counsell into left field on a force play at second. It was hit slowly, so I'm not sure it was going to be a DP.
  3. "I forget, who was pitching when that happened? Matt Ford? Tough luck kid." Close- it was Ben Ford. It was a bit of tough luck, and he went 1-2-3 the next inning.
  4. Nice article! I bet registered users jumps to 1000 in the next week.
  5. "Is that A.Lorraine the Andrew Lorraine who was once with the Indianapolis Indians in `01 or `02?" Yes it's the same Andrew Lorraine that pitched 25 games with Indy and 5 games with Milwaukee in 2002.
  6. Cruz shows up on the High Desert roster. He did go to Huntsville, right?
  7. "Speaking of plate discipline, seems like Helms is getting into it." And his 4th time up, 4 straight balls. That's plate discipline.
  8. Speaking of plate discipline, seems like Helms is getting into it. His 3 plate appearances tonight have resulted in 22 pitches thrown to him.
  9. "we all know the Pirates were looking to unload KEndall. I've always liked him, and was wondering what his contractual status was (I think long term), and also what it would take to get him." He's much too expensive. It was discussed in a thread in Trade Rumors.
  10. Yes, Powell just mentioned that Ginter was still sore.
  11. The Brewers' starters during the 9-game streak have pitched 59 innings, giving up 59 hits, 15 earned runs, 19 walks, and recording 36 strikeouts. This computes to a 2.29 ERA and 1.32 WHIP. This includes Obermuller's 4 inning relief appearance when Sheets went out after 1 inning.

  13. That makes 5 in a row if I count correctly. It's too bad Obermuller can't get a win- instead it goes to a pitcher who gives up 3 runs in an inning.
  14. Their first sweep of the year! Amazing.
  15. That makes three outs in a row tagged out trying to advance. Now three hits in two innings in a row with no runs scoring so far.
  16. "But with bases loaded, I think that Sexson hit a ball to the infield and the runners going to third and second were forced out, while the runner on third scored." Runners were at first and third. Only one out was recorded on the play.
  17. First, what happened on the play in question? Sexson hit into a force play with one out, barely beating the throw to first. Hall scored on the play. Second, what the hell is a reverse double play? Is that when the first baseman touches first and throws to second for the tag? I believe that's it exactly.
  18. "A run scored when Sexson hit into what appears to be a reverse double play. Pursuant to Rule 10.04(b), a player is not credited with a RBI if he hits into a fielder's choice double play or reverse double play. When a RBI is credited to a player hitting into a fielder's choice that only results in only one out, it seems awfully punitive to not credit the player with a RBI because of the extra out. Anyone know what the rationale for this is?" Sexson hit into a fielder's choice, not a double play. Why wouldn't he get an RBI? I think the rule says "hits into a force double play", not a "fielder's choice double play". I believe the rationale for not scoring an RBI on a double play, is that teams would always be glad to trade an out for a run, but most of the time teams would not trade two outs for a run. My scoring question is: if a batter doesn't get an AB for a sac fly, why does he get an AB for a ground out that scores a run? Same result in both cases.
  19. "dont forget corey on the others to watch list!" Palmisano made the list as well.
  20. When is the last time Kinney and Franklin have made quality starts the same time through the rotation? Why are Brewer starting pitchers so frustratingly inconsistent? "What is with Wes Helms? Why isn't he starting?" From JS Online: "Wes Helms, bothered by a strained right hamstring, missed his fifth consecutive start Wednesday but could be back in the lineup today."
  21. "I'd have to declare J.M. Gold the odd guy out. We could probably stash him in Indy - I don't think a major league club would keep him on the major league roster for a full season." Seems to me that a team could take him in the Rule V, stash him on the DL the whole year, and keep him that way. I'm still not saying he deserves a spot on the 40-man instead of others this off-season.
  22. "how did Perez score from second on a wild pitch?" I believe it bounced off the catcher's mask, couldn't find it, and the first baseman had to track it down.
  23. JS Online reports: "If manager Ned Yost continues his pattern, Young will rest this afternoon." I didn't realize Yost had a pattern.
  24. "Also what in the name of all that is holy does Osik pinch-hit in that situation!!?!!" The other options were Cruz (who was sent in to pinch-run, a good move) and Kieschnick (and everyone knows you never send a LH hitter to hit against a LH pitcher). Actually, Kieschnick is 0-6 against LH this year and Osik is 12-30/.400/.438/.500 (small sample?).
  25. And now he strikes out the side! The bullpen better hold it for him.
