    Well, at least we know who is going to get sent down when Hall comes off the DL.

    Guys who have done it in the past for a long time, ala Jenkins might get a bit more time than newer guys who are still proving themselves to a certain extent. Weeks will get another shot because graffy isn't going to stay this hot for the rest of the season.

    Bowen's offensive numbers aren't all that great this year either, although they are slightly better than Kendalls. Bowen's defensive stats are actually worse though. I still think it is an upgrade on the field.

    Kendall might not be good anymore, but can he really be worse than Koyie Hill? Hill has a sub .500 OPS in 61 ABs this year. This is an upgrade as hard as it is to believe that statement.

    The two biggest(perhaps only) problems with Miller Park are 1) There is absolutely no air circulation in the stadium at all. Miller Park turns into a sauna for most afternoon games. in July and August. 2) Although almost all seats have good sight lines to the field, a large percentage of the seats do not have a full view of the field. I wonder if they could throw open the doors to the stadium, if that would improve the air flow. My wife and I sit on the club level behind home plate and we are luckily in the shade after the first half inning. Even with that break, my wife has often commented that she didn't think she would be able to make it through the entire game were it not for the occasional cool breeze we get from the air conditioning coming from the open press box windows. (Honorable mention to poor concession service as a problem, although I don't count that as a problem with the stadium per se, as much as the workers staffing the concession stands.)

    I was there today too for a tailgate, and it wasn't bad at all. However, today did seem to be a bit mild for Mid-July. I wonder how it will be for tailgaters if they ever get a 90 degree day on that surface. But the lot sure does look nice. It is great to have lines again.

    Wow I just read about Yi on ESPNet here. Bye Bye Yi Reading this article sure doesn't make me optimistic about Yi ever playing for the Bucks. How long does Harris have if Yi doesn't sign with the Bucks? Would he make it to December? This was such a deep draft, there was a lot of talent where the bucks were and to come away with a big fat zero would be just horrible. Yi might have been the best player on the board left when the Bucks picked, but I'm sure the second best player or even the third best player would have helped them tremendously.

    Drove home past Miller Park yesterday and I saw they put in a new asphalt parking lot in the north lot. I gotta think that's going to get quite hot for anybody tailgating. I wonder if you will even need a grill. Just lay down some foil I bet the parking lot will cook it on a hot day. I didn't think the North lot was that bad that they needed to resurface it. If anybody's in that lot Saturday, let me know how it is. Fixed for lot reference

    If the girl is feeling self conscious out in public, I think someone needs to explain to her, that guys were probably always checking her out, it's just that she's now just noticing that she is being checked out. Nothing has changed. I had never heard or seen her before this thread, but I imagine if she was walking down the street I would give her the once over. She is an attractive young girl and boys will be boys.

    That's fine for 1 year, but doesn't he effectively block Yo or Villy next year from entering the starting rotation. Unless they trade either Bush or Vargas, and frankly I'd rather have either of those two guys than Suppan right now. Suppan is our #5 starter in my mind.

    Can he get a refund from his dope dealer? Whatever he was taking wasn't working. Or it was working and he just really really stinks without the dope.
  12. AdvantageSchneider
    He had offseason knee surgery. That explains the lack of stolen bases and might affect him at the plate too.
  13. AdvantageSchneider
    There's a difference between striking out and swinging at garbage. I agree, however if Braun has superior plate disciple, I would expect him to have a lot more walks. Even Eke says it, Braun goes up there swinging. Maybe it will come out over the next 100 at bats. We'll see.

    Pence 44k's 9 bb Braun 30 K's 10 bb Is Braun not a hacker too?

    It doesn't seem to be well thought out IMO. You need a MLB ballpark to hold the event. Other than the current 30 ML cities that have teams, are there any other cities that have a MLB stadium that could host a game (other than Montreal?). I can't think of any. It's not like football, where you can hold the SB in the Rose bowl or something like that. As a fan I'd rather save my money for WS tickets when the brewers were in it, rather than spend premo dinero to see the Indians play the Padres at Miller Park.

    Mench did have a nice AB tonight, fighting off a tough 0-2 pitch for a bloop single to left to keep the 6th inning rally going. If you put Graffy in left, you might as well just cut Mench. I don't see Mench as being that big of a problem that we need to put a 38 year old IF in LF for the first time in his career (I'm assuming first time in his career). Mench and Graffy have the same OPS right now, its just that Graffy is hot now and Mench was hot early. It is a pretty big leap to think that sticking graffy in LF would be a big improvement.

    This topic is always good for a chuckle after a tough loss.

    Prior to 2007 Braun had walked 55 times and K's 140. That doesn't sound like a major league #3 hitter to me. At least that doesn't seem like the type of hitter I would want to put in the 3 hole as a rookie. I think it's more of a problem if pitchers are being agressive with Braun because of Prince. If he's being thrown lots of strikes because pitchers don't want to walk him in front of prince and Braun is just missing them, that's a bigger problem, than if he was just overagressive and pitchers are not giving him anything good to hit. That's more worrying to me, and even more of a reason to move him down in the order.
  19. AdvantageSchneider
    Is anyone concerned about Braun's BB/K rate? In 89 PA he's walked 4 times and K's 22. That's not good. I would assume that is the worst ratio of any hitter batting 3rd in the bigs. And I'd further assume that it's only going to get worse once he goes around the league and the scouts get a better look at him. He's got a .326 OBP right now that is only being held up by his .294 BA. Might be best to get him out of that spot now, with the excuse that Rickie's back and they want to keep Hart, Rickie and Hardy at the top of the lineup, and Braun is just the odd man out. Move him down to 8th. Hart Weeks Hardy Prince Hall Jenkins Estrada Braun

    Gotta save Villy incase Yo bombs on Monday, I would assume. Can't count on Yo going 7 on Monday, and I sure don't want Yo throwing 110 pitches through 5 innings like Homer Bailey either. That's AL baseball though, had we gotten the lead, we would have seen Coco. There was no reason to warm up T-bow b/c Spruling didn't need to be pinch hit for either. You don't want to warm up T-bow just because the game might be tied.
  21. AdvantageSchneider
    Baseball justice right there.
  22. AdvantageSchneider
    I guess that's one of the 10 calls the umpires get wrong this year according to SI.
  23. AdvantageSchneider
    Salad Tongs last year, dugout ceiling this year for Wise.

    With the caption, "Some drunk starts a fight with you, you don't hit him with your pitching hand meat."

    Sweet lou looks like a drunk from the wrigley bleachers on WGN right now. He also apparently doesn't know anything that is going on with his team, as every answer is I don't know.
