  1. Yeah, I don't get the venom on that. An actual 1B digs that out. I think Coach Cooper has taught us all to expect excellence and accept nothing less.
  2. What was so wrong with that throw? I think a more seasoned 1B would have picked it. Going toward the line, nice pick, not an easy throw.
  3. That's great if true, but can they really diagnose it that quickly? I would think it needs x-rays at a minimum. Probably just stating the obvious kinda like elbow discomfort for Curtiss yesterday. I hope not like Curtiss.
  4. I remember scoring 10 against the Nats a few years back. Jason Marquis I believe. If it’s the game I’m thinking of, Doug Davis got pulled because he gave 5-6 runs back before the fifth, didn’t qualify for the win.
  5. So much of this is the most cynical spin you could give it. How about: The Brewers extended a guy off of back to back MVP caliber seasons (who had averaged 144 games a year for six seasons), to a contract that at the time was barely a top-20 MLB-value contract that bought out a couple of arby years. It appears that it has all gone spectacularly wrong, but as someone once said in another thread: "Some contracts work, some don't. There's sizable risk with the kind of player in FA that would placate people enough to be OK with not spending on Yelich. You'd be exchanging the risk of this long-term deal for another risk. It's no guarantee at all that by hoarding pennies here they're better off in 5 years. Not even close to one." Old School Snapper in the YELICH EXTENDED thread.
  6. I don't understand why I should keep this in mind. It doesn't improve Yelich's numbers, Brewer chances of winning, or my feelings about any of it. At no time during Yelich's four nearly-identical weak groundouts to the right side of the infield last night, did I think, "Well, Bellinger would have done worse, so..."
  7. Boxberger has been great, and even so, I still wince and take a deep breath when he enters a game. So I cannot imagine what it will take for me to trust a Curtiss appearance this season.
  8. They were thanking him for not saddling the Giants with that contract.
  9. Wow, Yelich. 4 at bats, the ball didn’t travel 300 feet total
  10. Had to hit the hand before the bat, right? Even a millisecond.
  11. Hey Fargas, it’s my way or the Joneshwy! Something like tgat
