    Agreed. Starting Counsell at 3B just doesn't make any sense to me. Even as a defensive matter, I think the improvement from Weeks to Counsell is far greater than either Branyan/Hall to Counsell. As for long-term 3B plan, the thought occured to me that Hardy with his excellent reactions, slow foot speed, and big arm could be a gold glover there. If Alecide's defense is as advertised, the Brewers might have the best defensive left side of the infield in the league down the road if Hardy makes the move (though Hardy is probably at best an average offensive 3B).

    The really extraordinary part of all of this is Yost's ability to do the correct thing (no commenting the press) in a way that makes him look like a complete and total idiot (rude neighbors). Maybe Ned intentionally made the comment in an attempt to deflect media attention away from Prince and onto his own stupidity.

    This kind of stuff happens. The root cause is being forced to be around the same 30-40 guys pretty much every day for nine months. I don't think this is a huge deal, no one got hurt and I would hope both guys are man enough to move on. The idea that we need to trade Prince seems like a classic knee-jerk overreaction to me. Hopefully the attention this will cause will energize the team.

    I'd agree except that under no cirumstances should Gagne pitch more than an inning so the advantages to the double switch are minimal. Hopefully the crew gets at least to hall or cameron next inning so we can double switch in Torres.

    Okay...I'll say it. I love Russell Branyan.

    I highly recommend just muting the TV and watching Hamilton hit. The guy is amazing.

    Ben needs to be slightly less unhittable or he's only going to make it through 6 today.

    3 runs, 15 pitches.

    I hope someone bought fire insurance on Miller Park.

    Apparently CC has a web developer on stand-by to keep his website current. Anyone know whether CC himself will be at the presser tomorrow?

    I'm sorry, but I do not buy the argument that substituting Hall for Branyan was the right move with the bases loaded and the game on the line. Branyan has hit 4 homers in the last 5 games, his OBP is .405. Hall has had a downright awful approach to every single at bat for two months. Hall promptly swings at a couple pitches out of the zone and strikes out. The right move would to let the muscle hit his 500 ft homerun, draw a walk, or strike out. There's lots of reasons we lost this game, but that particular decision gets under my skin. Career splits be damned, sometimes you gotta pay attention to what's been happening on the field. EDIT: Just to emphasize how bad Hall's OBP is, he's sandwiched between Parra and TGJ on the team list. The only position player with a worse OBP is Hernan Irribarren.

    The Yankees select Luke Hochevar. I figure that the Yankees have enough money to just pay Boras what he wants so he will end up signing. If he ends up holding out (like he did in actual 2005) well, I won't feel bad for messing up the Yankees.

    At the game Sunday the unthinkable happened...Branyan hit a ball in play. Of course it was about 395 feet to dead center.

    2003: Glendon Rusch starts 19 games. He wins once. Once. Let us repeat that: One win in 19 starts. One.

    Let me say that the decision from yesterday I disagree with is failing to have your SS and 2B at DP depth with 1 out and bases loaded. I think that playing the infield in is objectively the wrong move in any case, and especially with a speedster at 3rd base. While I'll not go so far as to blame Yost for the loss (can't win if you don't score), I think that having the infield in a bad defensive position evinces poor judgment. Managers make a lot of decisions, you want a manager whose judgment you can trust. I don't trust Ned's (After Aquino-gate and Mench-gate from last year he lost me) and wish they would make a change.

    I smell a retroactive DL move for Kapler
  19. Loopee
    Kapler has a bruised shoulder....Gabe in the 2 hole forgiven for now.

    I agree wholeheartedly. For whatever reason, when I watch Brewer games on the big-screen, the players have the Visual Fidelity of an Atari game. Not all channels are like that. When they're on ESPN HD, it is fantastic, I really hope this comes sooner rather than later.

    Gagne has a 4 seam, an excellent change-up, a big curve, and a slider. Suppan has a 4 seam, 2 seam, slider, and curve.

    Capital times reporting that Charter is planning to add FSN WI HD sometime this summer. No specifics yet. http://www.madison.com/tct/business/278512 Good news for those of us who can't get Dish.

    I've started playing MLB 08' the show. Braun hit 14 dingers in April. Assuming he's closely following my video game exploits (which I'm sure he is) he deserves to be a little cocky.

    I don't think the stats mean a whole lot right now, but I would be interested in any observations from video/people in AZ about what Rickie's approach is currently like. I wonder if he is trying to work on power game or some other mechanical issue and having adjustment problems. If he's focused on OBP right now, the 10 Ks to 1 BB could indicate a problem with plate discipline.

    I can think of several four letter words which are short for "Cub's Fan"
