Why? Will he cross his name of the lineup card? Will he sit at the end of the bench and pout? Fact is he's gonna play in a platoon as long as he's here. I just can't see Billy pulling a Sheffield and tanking it. What is more true is that Billy limited his options by having his agent talk to Haudricourt. Now that this is out there, his trade value took a dive. And he's got a point about others getting more chances (cough RICKIE cough). -
There are some things in this thread I just don't understand- 1) What in Russell Branyan's career makes people think he will be able to produce consistently. He wasn't good enough three or four years ago. Why now? 2) What in Joe Dillon's career makes people think he's capable of more than starting Sunday JV games and pinch hitting. He is what he is. There's a reason he bounced around the minors forever, then retired before making the show. 3) Why people would be willing to trade Laporta when it's more than likely Fielder will be unsignable down the line. 4) Why people would be willing to trade Gamel when it's still not clear that Weeks or Hardy will be able to hit enough, or if they'll be able to sign both of them long term. Hang on to Hall until there's a good RH bat who can step in defensively (not Dillon). A Branyan/Dillon platoon scares the heck out of me. I can't imagine either being able to perform at a high level consistently, because neither ever have. Just because a guy "non-demand demands" a trade doesn't place the obligation on the team. The situation they have now works; when Branyan eventually becomes himself, drops to .230, and K's 3 times a game, Billy can step in again.

Tomorrow is big for two reasons. 1) I'd really like a win on my birthday. 2) They need to build on wins like this. Too many times this year it's been one step forward, two steps back. Billy, you're still my boy.

Waste a great comeback. Why two innings two days in a row? At least Bay beat the Cubs again. Almost rooting for a loss tomorrow- that might solve our managerial issue.

2008 Vent Thread (part 3)
Marc Newfield of Dreams replied to MickeyDavis's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
They really do find new and interesting ways to lose, don't they? -
Soriano loses a routine fly ball in the sun... Cubs and Bucs tied at 5 going into the 10th. Mota, need a scoreless rack here.
-
FLASHING THE LEATHER!! Nice stretch by Prince as well.
-
nice play Kaplan!
-
I know there's nothing Ned can do about Hardy booting that ROUTINE chance, but taking your best run producer and arguably hottest hitter out in the 6th? Boneheaded and inexcusable. Ned's last stand. DC. Memorial Day Weekend. Glad I'm not there.
-
This one's on Hardy for now. Ah well, it frees up my Friday night.
-
As I'm screaming to put him on, he hits him. Job done.
-
Is it just me or is the camera on the outfield obnoxiously high?
-
Garbage inning. Just awful after they got Fielder over to third.
-
Seeing a good amount of Crew gear in the stands so far...
-
OK- Since the game is out of reach let's play "What Injury will Ben Sheets have tomorrow?" I'll go with the Pie special, the twisted testicle. Even with it, he should have gotten Gary Bennett out.
-
Was at the game. I don't think the boos were unjustified- for Gagne after the ninth or Kendall botching the squeeze. Squeeze was a GREAT call there. No blue font. In fact Kendall probably beats it out too, the third baseman was playing pretty deep. I can't pin this one on Ned, I was calling for it too. Gotta try and take the lead there. Gagne needs to sit, and there needs to be someone warming when he is in. In a tie game, he's not the closer, he's another reliever. I would have had Shouse up for Ankiel and another righty going. Something needs to happen pretty soon if they don't get things turned around. It could get really ugly at the park if this continues.

2008 Vent Thread (part 2)
Marc Newfield of Dreams replied to GoudaBrew's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
It's gotten to the point where I have lost the ability to vent. This isn't good. -
OHHH HAPPY DAAAYYYYY!!!
-
Not saying he is... but he's got no chance with any outside pitches. He's never been particularly strong to the opposite field. To be honest, I'm just trying to figure out how good these guys actually are. Thinking out loud so to speak.
-
3 pitch K for Fielder. Are we finding out that he's an average hitter, now that teams know to pitch him outside? He's helpless on anything on the outer half.
-
I can't see how you can blame Gagne for this. The guy needed 4 outs in one inning, and apparently 5 strikes for a K. This is an absolute freaking crime.
-
Man it'd be nice to have Stetter ready for Berkman... cough cough
-
This game should be over, and now he's getting squeezed big time.
-
Oh boy. Not good. And he was out, easily.
-
I hate Berkman.
