Those emails are getting ridiculous. What is a rosen bag used for? Give me a friggin break. What's a "sinker?" How many balls does it take to walk a hitter? What's that dark, sticky substance that many players spit? Why does every single broadcast have to be dumbed down to the point of complete ridiculousness?
I think every single hitter should try to bunt for a hit the next time we face a sinkerballer. It really can't be much less effective. You'd figure there would be 2 or 3 errors in there and a few hits. I'm going to email Ned.
Matt Wise impressed me much more than Cordero tonight Are you serious? I mean he got 2 outs relatively quick, but come on. EDIT: I'm way off - he pitched 1.1 innings and looked good, but I tip my cap to Coco - I love that guy's makeup.
The Brewers are allergic to sinkers I normally would agree with this excuse, but considering there's like 4 new guys in our lineup, it almost has to be something else. Otherwise, wouldn't all sinkerballers have like 2 ERA's every year?
I'm not too familiar with Bell. Why don't you like him? Oh no real substantive reason really. He's just always seemed like kind of a jerk and he's hung around the Major Leagues for a long time with some very very poor offensive seasons for a 3B. That and I think half the reason the guy got a chance in the first place is because of his dad. Plus I saw him get tossed at Miller Park last year for arguing balls and strikes and he was just beligerant - he actually tossed his helmet and nailed the bat boy. He's only here for 2 months - I can deal.
I think of Ueck's line in Major League 2 every time I see Bell: "It's amazing how a new uniform can change your opinion of a guy....(covers mic) [He's still a ____(jerk)]" I just never liked that guy.
Hey guys, appears like another ugly one today. Is everyone in agreement that we are officially sellers now after a home series loss to the worst team in the central with our 2 best pitchers getting beat back to back? I'm going to be real angry if we hang on to Carlos for the sake of hanging on to him - especially since this team will NEVER string 6 solid games together to get over the hump.
