I would like to remind people that the last game Rivera started, yes, he was pretty bad defensively. It was just one game, though.
-
I've seen enough of the various "hilarious" Cubs fan Fukudome t-shirts to know enough about their taste in fan apparel. -
I still think the moniker "ballhogs" would be more appropriate, since the term "ballhawk" seems to be one they've given themselves and seems to be pretty self congratulatory, if you look into the original meaning of the term.
-
OK, fair enough. Sometimes it's hard to tell around here. I hope Melvin is at least seriously inquiring on Halladay to see if they might be able to match up. We really need a pitcher like him right now, and for next year too.
-
Yeah...all the three H's should be on the bench right, if only for a couple games. We just have too many almost automatic outs in the lineup right now with Kendall, Hart, Hardy, etc.

Solutions to Our Problems: Present and Future...
Invader3K replied to ryanbraun75's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
As far as Prince Fielder, they'll make a run at re-signing him, but if he hits free agency, you know some team like the Red Sox will offer some insane contract that he won't be able to say no to...just the reality of being a mid-market team in MLB. We're lucky we have Braun wrapped up now. -
I can't find his AAA stats anywhere off hand, but didn't he pitch pretty well in three games and stink up the joint in just one? Anyway, I'm sure the Brewers would like to keep him down there longer, but they don't seem to have anyone better on hand at this point, barring a trade.
-
Yep, same here. At least that's easy to remember. Over here the SD version is on channel 84, which is weird because it's right above MTV, BET, etc. on our system. Not even close to any of the other sports stations.
-
Interesting articles, and thanks for the thoughts, hsvstarsfan. I don't think I've ever heard Gord Ash speak out so strongly about something before. I imagine with this economy, a new minor league ballpark is a tough sell though, right?
-
The Blue Jays' GM sees the games and stats too, you know. There's no way they would take three punchless hitters for one of the best pitchers in the game.
-
Homer on WAUK keeps harping on batting McGehee leadoff, and I don't think I can disagree at this point.
-
*BUMP* Just got a notice in the mail that Charter will be adding MLB Network in HD (along with three other HD channels) effective August 5th. Woohoo!
-
Macha needs to do something to shake up the lineup. I don't know what that would be, but I'm not paid to make the lineups either. Do something already, Ken.
-
Halladay would almost instantly reinvigorate this shaky team right now. That said, it still seems like it would be a pipe dream for the Brewers to get him at this point.
-
In my opinion, the constant nagging on Braun's non-robotic tendencies by a select few here gets pretty annoying. He's the best offensive player the Brewers have had since the days of Molitor and Yount, but some Brewers fans don't seem to really appreciate him.
-
The only big name out there was Lowe, and the Brewers weren't going to get him. Would have had to overpay, and he probably didn't want to come to Milwaukee anyway.
-
Maybe Melvin just wanted to free up the spot so they don't have to worry about it later if they make a trade? Doesn't necessarily mean something is pending, does it?
-
I agree. And with DeRosa on the DL, he has less protection, if you believe in that sort of thing. Just pitch around Pujols, and go after the rest of their offense.
-
I agree. I can't believe how many people on this board seem to have a sheer hatred of Braun seemingly boiling under their skins. He apologized, said he made up with Melvin, etc. Were some people expecting him to start bawling and publicly beg for everyone's forgiveness? I thought it was one of the more honest statements I've seen a baseball player give in a long time.
-
Who would that be? I would have thought if they were going to call someone up, it would be Parra.
-
Good to hear. Hopefully they will both get on the same page and move on. Kudos to Haudricourt for a well written article, too. This part cracked me up: "As aggravating as I can be, he's only truely gotten mad at me once, and I deserved it."
-
I think the idea of moving Rickie to CF is a completely fan generated one. I don't think it's even on the Brewers' radar as a legitimate idea.

Top Notch Starters at Deadline
Invader3K replied to Hate those Rodents's topic in Transaction Rumors & Proposals
I like Rolen, but his best years are probably behind him at this point, so I don't see how he'd really benefit the Brewers. Also, I will freely admit to not being as enamored with keeping prospects as many around here, but I don't think you can trade Gamel and Escobar for any one pitcher, no matter how good he is. I would trade one, but not both. My understanding is that Escobar and Gamel are far and away ahead of any other prospects in the Brewers system right now. Also, as far as Hardy, we really don't know if he will be willing to sign long term or not at this point. -
I hope Prince can do better in the Derby than he did a couple years ago. I think he had issues with whoever was throwing the ball to him, but it was kind of a let down performance. I know some would rather not have any of our guys participate, but if they are, I would like to see them win, or finish strong at least.
-
I wouldn't mind seeing Counsell used more sparingly and Gamel and McGehee getting the majority of the playing time. Casey should be able to handle 2B fine, I'd think.
