bobskube- Since you seem to be in the know... is there anything to the rumors surrounding Hardy, particularly Cincinnati? -
Bill Hall optioned to AAA
Marc Newfield of Dreams replied to Invader3K's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
I posted in the Correia thread that I think it'll happen, as no move will be announced until "tonight or tomorrow." -
I'd bet this thing happens tonight. Two roster spots open with no corresponding move announced until "tonight or tomorrow" according to Macha postgame. Correia for two minor leaguers and he starts Saturday.

Why is Ken Macha getting a free pass?
Marc Newfield of Dreams replied to Eileen Wright's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
I can't blame him. Doug's given him a crap sundae and Macha's trying to make it look appetizing. The pitching staff stinks for the most part. The hitting is bipolar. Last night was a prime example. He needed 6 innings, they were still in the game. I don't blame him at all for thinking Suppan could get 3 more outs. There are decisions I've disagreed with, just as I did with Nedly. But I've realized now the manager doesn't make a difference when the players aren't very good. The funny thing is, most of this talk would go away if he'd pull a Piniella and blow his top. -
brewdude- The blue font and wink face thing means I was kidding. Of course I'd love that production. I appreciate the optimism. I hope you're right. I just don't see it, haven't for a month and a half.

Well in that case, I feel a lot better about it. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

I totally want some of what brewdude's got.

I. Hate. This. Team.

Pathetic. Should be hung for larceny. Public square, old school style.

See... that's where my hang-up is. I really don't think they see Escobar as the future SS. I have no inside info or anything, but my gut tells me if they thought he was the guy, JJ would have been gone by now. He just doesn't fit the Melvin mold, he doesn't have pop and is probably not seen as a leadoff guy. I think Melvin's tenure has shown he wants 7 guys with power, then the catcher and pitcher. The attachment to Hardy is also a valid point I think. Fan favorite, homegrown product, seems a bit harsh to trade him off after one down year. Gotta think Mark A. is aware of the PR angle.

Burns down, Swindle up
Marc Newfield of Dreams replied to Jim Goulart's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Now we're ready to make a run! -
I should have said this as well... the net for Escobar has to be higher than Washburn. And Morrow doesn't excite me all that much to be honest.
-
I'm in the minority, but I hope Hardy isn't traded. He's had a down year, but he's a good player who is a fan favorite, and is a homegrown product. Escobar doesn't seem to fit Melvin's mold. He'd rather have a 20+ HR guy than a .280, 5 HR guy. If they thought he was the answer, I'd imagine Hardy would have been dealt by now. It'll be a VERY interesting next 24 hours.

I thought Macha played it perfectly tonight. He had a low-stress 7th inning, and I felt like it was a good idea to pull him when he did. With the bullpen's track record lately, I'd rather ride Gallardo until he put a guy on in the 8th. The one thing a lot of people seem to forget is this- his delivery is excellent. He has great mechanics and never strains out there. His velocity is consistent, and he does not throw a ton of high torque pitches like a slider. Pedro Liriano he is not.
-
Just about perfect game. As much as I rag on them, gotta give the boys credit tonight. Well played against a very tough pitcher. When I say just about perfect, I mean it would have been perfect if not for the drunk frat boys behind us constantly singing "Your Love." Damn you Frank Catalanatto....

Adam LaRoche traded to Red Sox

LaRoche hit a homer today, right? -

Low Point of the Season
Marc Newfield of Dreams replied to chuckcrim's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
They're toast. I really hope these Halladay rumors don't pan out. Why give up the farm for a prayer? Halladay will not make Hart and Hardy consistent hitters. Halladay can't make contact in the freaking ninth inning with a runner on third and one out. They're a very mediocre baseball team, plain and simple. This is definitely the low point, until they get swept by the Braves. -
Mediocreville.

Bracing myself for the walk-off.

Come on... knock him in!

MCGEEHEHEHEHEHEHEEE!!!

Nice win tonight, tomorrow is huge. Too many times in the last two months they've had a nice win like this and then lost the next two. Start stringing a couple together, they'll need all the momentum they can get going into the ATL series. Tough pitching matchups this weekend.
-
Reading some of this is entertaining. Gamel should have been sent down two weeks ago. Macha didn't bench Brooks freaking Robinson. Gamel was mediocre up here. Had his moments, and was better than Hall, but was worse than McGehee. In terms of production, their best lineup was with Counsell at 2B and McGehee at 3B. And when healthy that's what happened. If you want to criticize Macha for the occaisional Bill Hall start, be my guest. Won't get any arguments from me.
