Wow.....some of you have just lost your mind. This team is still the best team in the division and the 2nd best team in the NL Not if they can't win on the road all year. If they keep on this pace on the road, theyll finish in 4th place...because surely their home record won't stay this lopsided. -
Cue the Heath Bell talk in STL

You're preaching to the choir. Write Doug a note.
-
I'm fully convinced that Yuni would hit for nearly the same batting average and OBP if he were in AAA. His approach at the plate would remain unchanged. Hopefully soon we'll be able to see if my theory is correct. I can't believe how many years this guy has served as a starting SS at the major league level.

Never when the manager is the one who endorses it. Never when the manager and players do not know the difference between stupid vs. aggressive.
-
Bad is an understatement for how this team performs on the road.
-
Betancourt -- shocked at the GIDP. At least he makes good contact. Yikes.
-
It would be huge for us to have him retain his Type A status. It would make it, quite possibly, Doug Melvin's greatest "value" trade ever if he became Type A for what we will have to give up.
-
Anyone know how good Green's defense is? I've never seen him play.
-
I kind of feel badly for Ax Man now. He did not do anything wrong to have his job put into question. In fact, one could argue he is the guy whose job should be the most secure with all the inconsistencies this team has shown this year. I know it will be difficult for RR to bypass a guy he watched convert 62 saves a few years ago...sucks for Ax.

Maybe there was a gentleman's agreement between the Brewers and Boras to give a little and get a little in return. Obviously, Boras lost all leverage when he was traded to Milwaukee and in his true fashion, wanted to reclaim some of that back. Instead of watching his prized "closer" pitch 8th inning after 8th inning, he may have told the Brewers that they will waive the $17.5 vesting option if the Brewers would use him as their closer (making him a more appealing FA). And the Brewers 'reward' for doing that would be to offer him arby at season's end and leave with 2 draft picks. Actually makes pretty good business sense for both parties.

Casey McGehee's struggles: how much leash does he get?
bucksman4 replied to Robideaux's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
That's the key, with his dreadful defense to go along with his anemic hitting, it's like having two Yuni Betancourt's playing everyday. Unacceptable on a team trying to make the playoffs. This is where taking into account sample sizes can work against a team. The team is looking at his 610 ABs from 2010 and hoping he figures it out, instead of his 331 ABs in '11 that have been atrocious. They're banking on the hope that in his next 300 ABs even things out. A half of a seasons stats don't lie usually. -
Casey McGehee's struggles: how much leash does he get?
bucksman4 replied to Robideaux's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
They should have just stuck with Gamel at 3B for the remainder of the year. He would've performed better than McGehee is and would have shown he can hit with more regular ABs. For those who may suggest his defense is poor at 3B, I suggest you look at the rest of our infield. See any other gold glove contenders there? -
Link Report for Games of Thursday 7/14

Anybody else catch Taylor Green playing 2B for Nashville last night? Wonder why. -
Why can't this team hit on the road?
bucksman4 replied to Fear The Chorizo's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
I still can't grasp how the same group of guys playing consistently on the home and on the road can perform so drastically different. Is it merely a lack of focus? Starting out slow on the road and it dragging on their minds now that its talked about so much? Are they just mental midgets? I never understood the value of a "home field" advantage in baseball. Maybe quirky stadiums like the Metrodome would favor the team used to playing there and I know some teams are constructed as a result of how a particular ballpark plays, but most stadiums are similarly laid out with dimensions. Just a very strange dynamic. I thought at first that all it would take to turn around road woes would be to win a series on the road in commanding fashion. They did that in Florida and then went on to drop a bunch of road games thereafter. I've come to the conclusion, we may be ripping our hair out in frustration at this all year long... -
20 hits allowed by the great Brewers pitching staff tonight. Way to shore that up, Doug.
-
An opposing team's announcer (I believe it may have been the Reds) suggested the Brewers drastic home/away play shoots up red flags to him of stealing signs at Miller Park. When I heard this, I poo-pooed it, but whenever we play miserable in road series it always is in the back of my mind.
-
Prince fielding like a DH once again.
-
Gallardo "Rocked" tonight.
-
Gallardo is throwing meatballs tonight. That run was on Hart though.
-
Great find by Heyman but this is meaningless now. K-Rod will play the good-guy role and not burn any bridges with Milwaukee. This clubhouse is too tight-knit and focused on making the playoffs, that a malcontent would not be tolerated.
-
So Ron....is Loe still your "8th inning guy?"
-
Can't wait to hear the Brewers' players reactions to this move. Prince and Braun will be pumped!
-
Best part of the article is the moron with the first comment: "Sounds to me like there wont be a controversy. Axford get's the 8th inning. K-Rod is the new closer. " who doesn't understand the only reason we have him is so the Mets (and us, and every other major league team) can avoid vesting his option by not letting him finish games anymore (that often) Agree 100%. Ax has been awesome as closer and the vesting option withstanding, he would have remained the closer based on his performance thus far IMO regardless.

From the Mets message board (can't confirm this guy's sources): I'm hearing Mat Gamel is one of the PTBNL 25 year old 3Bman. Excellent #s in the minors. 170 or so MLB ABs with not much production http://www.baseball-refer...ayer.cgi?id=gamel-001mat
