    We are really going to need these bullpen guys. Besides Torres, our bullpen is really bad. Please come soon, Sept 1st! As I pointed out elsewhere, the bullpen is 6th in ERA, 3rd or 4th if you remove Turnbow's 6 innings. None of these callups will come very close to pressure situations, though I s'pose Stetter might face a lefty or two.

    Krembals probably comes up like he has in years past, though the opposing team can keep him out of the dugout if they wish. Don Money is also a possibility, especially with Gamel up.

    Too bad they did not play a DH yesterday and one this afternoon as well...from everything I hear, Gustav will not reach until Tuesday AM...would have loved to see many of the players get more PA's.

    I'm surprised not see Hernan Iribarren, who is similar to Gwynn, but can play 2B as well. Gamel may well have took a slot for HI. A tad surprised not to see another P, but not even sure who is left other than Gardner.

    ESPN shows as 3.89 ERA before tonight, though the 724 OPS is the same.

    I play online almost daily, but the easy money of bonus chasing makes the money you make almost like work. I have not had a negative year, but I made $160 in '07, except for one $2K tourney win. That's about 16 cents an hour, if you take out the one good day.

    Yes, he used him when all other PH's were already used. You save him as long as you can.
  8. dadofandrew
    I can't think of more than a couple spots all year when Rivera is a much better option than another PH. He's got out 70% of the time in the majors in his career.

    Those are some unique looking jerseys.

    The Brewers have the 6th best bullpen ERA in the NL, and if you remove Turnbow, they are 4th, 0.002 behind 3rd place Cincy, where fans have also complained about their bullpen all year. The bullpen has been good, and are rested, thanks to the rotation pitching well and Yost's management. EDIT: I should mention, I cannot tell the future, but with the addition of Stetter and others, the relief corps should remain rested. I would not expect them to fall apart the rest of the way, and some may project improvement.

    Incorrect. You can use anyone on the 25 man, plus whoever is on the DL, or you can sub in anyone from the 40 man on 8/31, up to the number of guys you had on the DL...3 in the Crew's case. I'll put a link here that describes it.

    Minor league rosters still exist in September.
  13. dadofandrew
    Guys with little velocity usually do not get a shot very quickly. They gotta prove themselves much more than the guy who throws 95+. We heard the same thing about Jason Childers, who had a devastating curve, but topped out at 85-87, and often threw 83-84. Despite that one very good pitch, his big league career was brief. I don't even think Bray has a really good pitch, does he? He's more of a mix it up guy, I think.
  14. dadofandrew
    End, you may be correct, but could Ben agree to be optioned? This usually happens once every 5 years or so, not often enough to keep up on this little known idea.
  15. dadofandrew
    Nice pickup by PHIL.
  16. dadofandrew
    I had never noticed the 9/7 split before now. Odd, but a scheduling quirk. No one wants to be playing an interleague game in September, nor should they.
  17. dadofandrew
    Bray does not throw hard. If he succeeds at AAA, he'll get a shot eventually. If you fail at AAA and have to go to AA, you probably won't.
  18. dadofandrew
    Attendance follows winning. They should draw well next year.
  19. dadofandrew
    It is on now, maybe they were making adjustments. As long as it remains up for buckets, I'm thrilled.
  20. dadofandrew
    Carlos V cut be optioned, I'm sure he has one, maybe 2. Heck, you could option Sheets, I seem to recall HOU doing this with Oswalt a few years ago.

    I think the obvious thing that no one wants to say is they can imagine a lot less "spur of the moment" interaction with your wife, if you know what I mean.
  23. dadofandrew
    Not 74 on mine...is it only on the digital sets?
  24. dadofandrew
    I would say we're likely to see either the hot hand or a continued platoon, based on whether or not anyone gets a hot hand.

    Needless to say, I disagree that the old media's issues are all completely irrelevant of the quality of their product. If it's the economy, they will be coming back soon, as it looks like the last quarter was strong. I see an old industry that is stuck deeply in a "this is the way we've always done it" mindset, printing ridiculous and out of touch crap. Dick Justice "reporting" about the Crew's locker room is a single example of the "phone it in", cliche ridden mentality. The NY Times printing the McCain mistress rumor a few months ago doesn't tell me their problems are because of the economy...it's because they are simply awful at what they do, and getting worse. Dinosaurs do not adjust...Woolworth's, KMart, GM, and many others are shadows of what they used to be. They can sell ads on the web just like other sites ( I hear Google has made a pretty penny with web advertising), but for the most part, the stuff they have on their web sites are not as good as others. Add in journalists printing names and emails and deriding them for calling them the buffoons they are, you got yourself a painfully out of touch industry.
