  1. No issues for me. Seth Looking good again.
  2. Dillard gave up 5 runs and threw 32 pitches to the same Twins team the night before. I would not have put him in again tonight. I would rather lose one game tonight than have a stretch like last July/August with a completely fumed out bullpen leading to stretches where we lose 8 of 10 games. It's the middle of June, guys are starting to break down. The last thing the team needs to do is keep grinding everyone down. I know a lot of people think it doesn't take much to run 90 feet or throw a ball, but I think an MLB is tougher schedule than is given credit for. This isn't high school baseball playing 2-3 time per week.
  3. Didn't Dillard get shelled the night before and throw a lot of pitches? Mota hasn't been very good lately, he needs some time off. It's a 162 game schedule, not 162 game 7's of the world series.
  4. I think the bullpen was managed pretty well tonight. Tavarez was obviously tired, but he was still probably the best chance for a ground ball; which they needed. I agree with the TV crew that something must be wrong with Mota. I am sure he was in the game otherwise. Ned has a 162 game schedule to manage. Must we forget that last summer's swoon was mainly due to an an overworked bullpen? You don't throw Mota out there if it is only going to continue a spiral down for him. Much like Bush batted instead of Hardy. Ned did a fine job in this game. Spreading Torres out over 3 different innings was good. Hart's error lost this game. There was no Yosting tonight.
  5. Exactly! Brewer fans have become embarrassing. I always have a rough time digesting the mismanaged bullpen stuff I read on here. I think this message board would manage it far worse.
  6. Very exciting game! Hopefully, a good ending for the Brewers.
  7. I think you can say that about all the remaining options.
  8. Good Julian tonight? Let's hope so!
  9. Very good call I guess. Kinda surprised it wasn't caught. Keep up the pitching Crew!
  10. I am glad Ned left in Torres. His pitch count was low. Win it in the bottom of the 10th!
  11. shootkick, yours is the best! I got a good laugh from that one.
  12. This thread sounds fun! Eastern Australian Salmon The Sun Grows Old[/i] http://images.yuku.com/image/jpeg/fbc254b93a80c6fab4eaf756d087ff7033b990a.jpg
  13. Yost is usually pretty good at getting starter breaks/backups chances to stay sharp, but I not so much with Kendall/Rivera. I wouldn't mind a few more games for Mike. I suspect as the WI weather warms, Rivera's PT should increase in frequency.
  14. If I had to pick one, it would be Hardy. I still want Hall on the team, and I hope things will be straightened out with him. It took me a long time to warm up to Hall as a player. It always was a love/hate relationship. I hope he can be a big part of the Brewers' success yet this season. I really doubt anyone is ready to take over 3b or SS yet. Gamel sounds improved on defense, but I want to see it sustained for a while yet. I think it would be a bad move to bring him up too early. Same thing with Escobar's offense.
  15. 9 of the 13 games since Boston, the Brewers have held the opponents to 3 or less runs. 8 of them were 2 or less runs. 4 were 1 run, and 1 shutout. the other 4 games were 8(twice), 7, and 5. A pretty good run by the pitching. The bullpen sure looks good when it is rested. Atlanta and Houston sure aren't push overs on offense either. Great job Brewers!
  16. I was starting to think Dave Bush was my new Glendon Rusch; a guy that you knew should do better than he often did. Just enough teasers to get you back on board when doubt creeps in. Let's go Dave! I want to keep believing! Show me a no hitter next time out!
  17. I really can't complain about the "B lineups". Seems to me that they have had a fair amount of success over the past year or so. Like Logan was getting at, is it better to have a mass substituted lineup or a bunch of smaller substituted lineups? I think Yost's philosophy has worked pretty well. A bunch of fans who drove a long way may be upset when they see the lineup, but if it works... I think many of us forget how much we really don't understand how too manage a professional baseball team. How many here have even played or managed professionally? I have a tough time believing it is all that similar to playing high school or Land O Lakes baseball. I do my own taxes, but I sure don't walk in to the accountant's office at work with suggestions to do their jobs better. There is more to it that I will ever understand. There may be things I believe in very firmly, but that doesn't mean I really have a grasp on the situation or that I am right. I do my best not to get down on the Brewer fan base, because I know it is the same thing that happens with every other team and the same thing that happens at every job. Outsiders always know how to do it better. Just part of life, but it sure can take the fun out of work and following my favorite teams when I hear so much complaining.
  18. My parents don't get to many games, but the ones they do make always seem to go like this. I should get them season tickets!
  19. For a few reasons I haven't been able to watch as many games as I would like, but I think Braun's approach at the plate has been a lot better for the last few weeks than it was at the early part of the season. I think his OBP and Runs Scored should continue to climb in the rankings. My vote: good going on to great. I am pretty ecstatic also to have him on the team for many years to come. I feel he will improve in a few areas yet, and consistently be in our top 1-3 players.
  20. I sure hope the Front Office doesn't make moves based on what the fan base thinks it should do. I live in AZ now, so I haven't been to a game in nearly 2 years. But, I sure hope the fan base isn't as embarrassing in person as it is on the internet. The worst part of this season for me isn't the team, it's seeing how much the fan base has become a bunch of crybabies. Sometimes I feel like like a good number of people haven't followed a single baseball season before.
  21. Greg Maddux control tonight for Seth! (so far)
  22. I was surprised that Rickie swung at the 1st pitch after Kendal walked on 4 pitches. Probably wasn't the best approach.
  23. Haha. Someone picked Jason Kendall for the Homerun inning contest.
  24. yeah, they didn't make anything in that inning sound too good.
