I've heard of glass half-full and glass half-empty but sometimes I think that some of the "realists" have no glass at all. Honestly, with Weeks and dare I say Gomez/Hart in front of him he will get all of the RBI chances he needs to lead the league.
I don't think that this team is destined to stay sub-$100MM for too much longer. If we the fans can keep the attendance well over 3MM and the team can sign a new, more lucrative TV deal I believe that I have heard that $110MM wouldn't be a problem. I could be wrong but I thought those were the factors involved...
Priceless...even though he screwed up the date for Leake to pitch: Haudricourt Tom Somebody alert Macy's at Mayfair Mall. Reds just listed Mike Leake as their starter against the Brewers on Saturday.
Braun ran through a stop sign at 3rd and scored. Then McG just got thrown out taking too big of a turn at 1st after a single. Sheesh guys...aggressive, not stupid.
What would have made you so confident that he was healthy there? Counsell's great reputation in the OF when he was the last healthy non-catcher on the bench? Hindsight = 20/20
The Brewers are about to have a very nice "problem" when Greinke comes back now that Wolf is pitching so well. Greinke, Gallardo, Marcum, Wolf, Narvy and Estrada. Not a bad top 6 at all!
From Twitter: BerniesCrew Jim Breen Great to see OF D'Vontrey Richardson back in a box score. Having a 3-for-4 night for Brevard County tonight. #Brewers
Is it just me or are the difficult plays easier for YuBet than the routine? Sure, he makes some of them difficult with his small range but that last play was not as easy as it looked...
Abstract thought: Did Halladay use up too much gas against the Nationals? Sure, the Nats just swept the Crew but he really didn't have it going tonight (though the Brewers offense had something to say about his outing as well)...
...yeah...Almonte is getting really hard to watch as a PH. He may be ok if he is getting ab's every single day (as in the spring) but he looks terrible at the plate right now...
Ball was hit too hard... Nah, that is a ball that 90% of baserunners end up on 3rd on except for big slow 1B and C. I'm not saying he should have gone on it but his lack of speed certainly cost a run right there.I should have been more clear as you said what I was thinking. It was hit too hard for a man w/ Prince's speed/lack of.
Also from twitter: Haudricourt Tom Report from Brevard County was that Greinke "felt great" and his velocity was 91-94 mph. The one hit was an infield hit.
Actually, according to the box score he went 3 innings 1 H 0 BB 4 K. But still good.Per twitter: Haudricourt Tom That box score from Brevard was wrong. We thought it was too many pitches. Greinke went 3 IP, with 1 H, 0 BB and 3 K. 35 pitches.
