  1. Hart's timing isn't quite there yet. I expect him to struggle for at least a week. If he's still chasing those pitches come June, I'll be very concerned.
  2. Latest forecast for the home opener has a 60% chance of rain. Forecast
  3. Does anyone else think his stance is different when compared with his first few seasons? His bat doesn't seem to be angled back over his shoulder but more upright. Additionally, he doesn't seem to be following through completely on his swing. It almost looks like JJ Hardy when he had the same problem until Prince corrected him during BP. He hasn't looked like this all season - only the last 6 weeks or so. Take a look at video of him hitting from seasons past and you'll see exactly what I'm talking about. He looks like a completely different hitter.
  4. Am I the only one who thinks Braun's stance and swing have been different lately? He seems to be holding the bat more upright and not following through with his swing completely. Take a look at pictures or videos of him from the last couple seasons. He looks like a totally different hitter the last 2 months or so. Anyone else seeing this or am I crazy?
  5. At what point do we trade the top young slugger in the game to get maximum value in return? It's quite evident this team needs pitching and Prince will get us just that. This offseason? Next offseason? Final year of deal at AS break? I'm thinking we'll wait until after next season.
  6. Do you really think Mark A. would shell out that kind of money for Rios?? Braun didn't even get that kind of cash and Rios can't touch Braun.
  7. Is anyone else in agreement that this is the low point of the season thus far? That's a game we need to win. Now we have the Braves coming into town with Vazquez, Hanson and Lowe. We could be under .500 come next week Monday. I'm under the belief that a trade for a starting pitcher (Lee or Halladay) is what this team needs to get the fire back in their belly.
  8. During several telecasts, Schroeder has said the most difficult time for the players to hit is when the mound and the batter's box are covered in shade but the batter's eye is in the sun. He's heard this from several players.
  9. If we end up making a push for Peavy, who do you think has more trade value, Escobar or Parra? I think it's Escobar based on a higher potential ceiling. I like Parra and would rather trade him, but I think we can get more for Escobar.
  10. If I live out of state and have DirecTV with the Extra Innings package and HD DVR, how many Brewer games will be in HD? Will it be just the games that FSN-WI is broadcasting in HD or will I not get any at all?
  11. I sent you message Bumblebee.
  12. Per Wikipedia, calling the MIL-PHI series will be our very own Brian Anderson along with John Smoltz and Joe Simpson. LINK
  13. Great point. After we lose this game, we'll be 0-7 at home against teams that'll likely be in the playoffs. We fold under pressure.
  14. How do we not challenge that ball down the line hit by Kapler? I just rewound it on DVR and actually paused it with the ball behind the foul pole! No one argued. What's the point of instant reply? It was a freakin' home run! It WAS FAIR!
  15. Faves - all Milwaukee area Elsa's - amazing burgers - also try the bacon wrapped water chestnuts Roots - everything's good Zaffiro's - best thin crust pizza I've ever had Kil@wat - in the Intercontinental Hotel - SOLID Swig - in the 3rd Ward, great food at a reasonable price
  16. Hall is just plain pathetic. Hat trick Billy!! Way to go buddy! I'll go out on a limb and say he'll strike out again in his 4th AB.
  17. I cannot stand Bill Hall. His AB's are just awful.
  18. Is Salome out because of his suspension from the brawl last week?
  19. Salome not in Huntsville lineup
  20. This from Rotoworld....... The Phillies and Brewers have expressed interest in Zack Greinke, but the Royals aren't looking to make a deal. The Braves are another team that has tried for him in the past. Greinke is a free agent after 2010 and figures to be a tough sign for Kansas City, but if he stays healthy, he'll likely have at least as much trade value in a year as he does now. The Royals would have to be blown away to deal him. The Brewers, though, could tempt them if they'd offer Mat Gamel and either catcher Angel Salome or shortstop Alcides Escobar. I really hope we don't deal Gamel and Salome/Escobar for Greinke.
  21. Fielder now 0-11 in the series. Ouch.
  22. Is anyone else concerned about Ryan Braun striking out too much?
  23. The gamecast is showing Sheeter's fastball in the low 90's and he's consistently getting behind in the count. How's it looking for those that are watching? Is he laboring a bit out there?
