on sac bunts... going to say something like "turning crooked numbers into single tallies since 1846"... but at this point, can you blame Ron? -
Manufacturing... the rust belt way. Or maybe like Foxconn manufacturing, yeah.
-
Not surprised. Really not happy, but really not surprised.

jesus I hope this works out. manager owes it to a SP - especially one who can comfortably toss 130 pitches - to let him finish what he started.
-
Surely won't help his confidence. What lineup would you prefer? I do agree with you though. Even hurt he's still 3rd in ops and is only 1 point less in OBP then scooter. I'd rather see: Scoots Braun Luc Ramirez Gomez Davis Overbay/Reynolds SS's that his like pitchers Pitchers Why have one of your best hitters hitting 5th getting less ABs? Dumb. ...and so then Gomez with the team's 2nd highest OWAR batting 5th in your ideal line-up makes sense how?

Brantley.

it is absolutely, tactically, the correct move to give Braun first base in that 2nd-and-3rd-1-out instance. if you'd like to do it with 1 (or 2, as the case may be) pitches instead of 4... be my guest. while righting a perceived wrong from the past, all the better. far different story to do it and then act like a middle schooler giggling over some old porn. (and full disclosure - I'm only basing this opinion on text above as I have not seen it)
-
there are different ways to go about what Gibson wanted to do... and he chose an option toward the less honorable end of the spectrum. but let's not forget that a juiced up Braun almost single handedly eliminated the D-Bags from the playoffs.

NOT. RON's. CALL. christ.

September and October. Because 92 pitches is so taxing for a large, strong guy like peralta? I don't agree with the use of so many bullpen arms when peralta was already pitching well OR... because the bullpen - in aggregate - had thrown 252 pitches over the past 7 days? a whopping 36 pitches per day* (not counting bullpen and in-between-inning warm-up pitches, of course). Or selectively dating back to Lohse's gem... 356 pitches over 10 days - again, 36 pitches per day? OR... because, of course, Ron and Doug have no idea what they're doing? And it would be nice if just someone within the organization was paying attention to bullpen usage and / or the long term. side note... never noticed how much Wooten was being used (~20% of that 10 day load), before getting bored of the exercise. Way to go workhorse Woot.

September and October.

not time for nibbling, just pump in the hard, straight stuff Wang and let's go to bed.
-
C'mon, I'm sure we can find something to complain about re Ron's decisions today... Didn't have the foresight to rest Lucroy? Should have told the stadium Ops folks not to close the roof b/c the storm would not arrive? Lohse clearly should have been batting 3rd today? Let's go Kyle... lock down the "Maddux"
-
uh, good thing we blew our biggest off season wad on Garza and didn't up our offer for Jose Abreu?
-
Brett Lawrie starting to put it together?
TauPentaRei replied to The stache's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
This Marcum? [pre]POSTSEASON PITCHING STATISTICS SEASON GP IP H R ER HR BB SO W L WHIP ERA 2011 3 9.2 17 16 16 3 5 5 0 3 2.28 14.90[/pre] I certainly did not enjoy Marcum's contribution to the end goal. Not to divert attention away from Lawrie... but if Marcum came up with a few wins in the playoffs instead, I could be celebrating the trade still. It took me a long time to stop using Marcum as my favorite 4 letter word... -
Where are they now - 2011-2013 Edition
TauPentaRei replied to Matt Breen's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
seconded! thanks for the jog down memory lane. still remembering (in err?) Mitch Stetter's role against the Phillies, nay - Ryan Howard - in a wildcard showdown. -
please just throw gas at Pujols wrists. anything to give me something satisfactory to take away from this game.
-
you know how Holmgren has his own "Way" and Lombardi his own Avenue and what not? And I think McCarthy is deferring his presently... Can we name some pot-holed, car-jacking prevalent, busted sewer line / flood prone, 1-way, no street lights alley after Marcum?
-
I miss Lawrie
-
i can't believe I'm saying this, but flip Rickie & Yuni and that baby is perfect.

Would you hold back Greinke for Game 6 now??
TauPentaRei replied to Brewcrewin07's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Greinke for 8 innings... or a reaching-the-end-of-his-innings-limit Odorizzi for 5 and now-I-have-control-mastered-and-getting-stretched-out Jeffress for 3 yeah, the first one. what it's all about. -
Axford should start. He could go 2 scoreless toe-to-toe with Carpenter. Then it should rain cats & donkeys for 50 minutes.

Impressions of Roenicke so far (part 3)
TauPentaRei replied to Bernman23's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
I probably would have pulled KRod in the 8th because he looked like he just didnt have it but it worked out. this is worth mentioning again... how totally polarly opposite of a management style is this from LaRussa, who has no qualms using 6 pitchers in an inning? and how much positive affect does this have on the relievers, who realize you get the inning and the whole inning. buckle down, trust your stuff, get 3 outs. I think it's huge. You get squeezed, someone bloops a flare, you miss a spot... anyone can have a bad at-bat. but so can the next reliever, too. leaving K-Rod in there is total accountability for the inning, and K-Rod knew that going in. I, for one, appreciate this aspect of RR. -
one scenario: game, starter, (rest) #1, Greinke (6)#2, Marcum (5) #3, Gallardo (4)#4, Wolf (7)#5, Greinke (4) #6, Marcum (5)#7, Gallardo (4)
-
Yeah, this is a problem. I'm going to just have to listen at work. just noticed this. bonkers ridibonkulous. 2pm for me on the West Coast?! ...to convince the non-sports-oriented carpool to try to catch the last few inning during drive time? Oi oi OI. What does King Albert have to say about the shadows?
