That last Santana AB was probably the poorest I've seen recently. -
I'd like to congratulate Wily on getting down his first sac bunt of the season.
-
Enrique Cruz I remember, and concur he was far worse than Broxton. If there were a stat for how shallow the outfield played a hitter, he'd have to be our all time leader. He was wayyy out of his league when he jumped from A+ to MLB with us as a rule 5 in 03.

If anyone ever locates online video of the 82 Brewers playing flip during pregame, I would be grateful for the link.

I've been hesitant to pile on Sedar in the past but sending Luc there showed a complete lack of awareness.
-
Here's a fun outlier, Wily's ERA by innings 1-6 going into today for the season are as follows: 6.3, 7.2, 7.2,.9, 9, 14.73
-
That was sure a fun 4th.

The kind of wood you use makes a big difference in the flavor too. Some of the more robust woods I use are hickory and pecan, and usually I blend these or use sparingly because they can get bitter. I'm a fan of apple with pork. Mostly I smoke salmon, and I pretty much just stick with alder for all my salmon smoking.

BA had a crackup quote tonight, "Brewers as a team thrown out for the cycle."

Since each wrestler gets a choice, in either the second or third period, you still have to give up the point if you want to take it to the feet if the other guy chooses down. Which most wrestlers do because of that. All the neutral choice does is allow a guy to avoid going on the bottom if he is facing a tough rider, is worried about riding time or is looking to get a five point TD/NF combo or a pin. That usually happens when someone is far behind and needs a big score or trying to pin someone for the team points. I did mention that they get their 1 escape point. Strategically there is a lot more to it than that. Usually used if top can't turn the opponent and needs points, or else doesn't want to risk a reversal. Neutral choice is top's option to forfeit the escape. As a coach I saw several matches won where the top guy was down 1 point, cut the opponent loose to go down 2 points and tie it up on a takedown to force OT.

I got to wondering how how many times this has actually occurred. http://sabr.org/research/surprise-swings-intentional-balls I'd be ok with the ibb process change. It'll speed things up, and save the pitcher having to chuck 4 pointless tosses. It sort of reminds me of the rule change in wrestling, where the wrestler on top used to have to do an international start to cut their opponent loose, granting them the uncontested escape for 1 point. Now they can skip that step, signal both up to the ref, give the opponent 1 point and start on their feet off the whistle if that's what they want to do.

Even if Thornburg blows it, I'll agree with CC's call on this one. Too many times over the years have I seen us pay the price for showing a late reliever or closer to the same team 3 days in a row. I think it was more that he had pitched 5 out of 6 days. Certainly. Point being, I was all for Thornburg pitching the 9th just based upon the last 2 days.

Guerra really used that slider nicely today, what a treat to watch.
-
Find a way to tie it up, make them keep on playing. Make their fans head back to chicago with the game still on. Win it in the 19th.

I used to look forward to playing the cubs, as generally a game or two of the series would air on WGN and I would get to watch up here.

73º and sunny out here on may 15. We have our shirts off and are grilling Wisconsin sausage kitchen brats on the porch. It's going to be like this with broad daylight until just about midnight, and my vacation began today at noon. Definitely not bugging me.

Link Report for Thursday 5/12
AKCheesehead replied to Jim Goulart's topic in Brewers Minor League Talk
Today's link report is a nice breath of fresh air. Clark with 3bb and a 2b. Solid game at BC. Chapman continues to get it done. 3 come from behind wins. Quite nice! -
Here you go, it's the New Orleans call... Thanks, Mass. Even better than I'd imagined it to be.
-
I haven't found video of Dillard's HR yet, if anyone does, please do post a link

Your 2016 Wisconsin Timber Rattlers
AKCheesehead replied to Jim Goulart's topic in Brewers Minor League Talk
I got curious too, since I'll be visiting this summer and fully plan on making a game. Here's the whole rundown of food/menus: http://www.milb.com/content/page.jsp?ymd=20151202&content_id=158666562&fext=.jsp&sid=t572&vkey= [sarcasm]All low cal, low carb, low sodium, low fat no-fun health food, just as one would expect[/sarcasm] -
He was absolutely Walshing it up there. Love the new terminology, I could see that one sticking. Thanks for the chuckle
-
Love seeing Clark's first start in low A, leadoff walk, run scored.
