Excuse me while I channel Ned Yost... If Corey Hart was a true battler or even a little more grittier he would have hit that out. Back to the bench and may I nail your rear end to it.

Great win and that little guy is the wizard from Final Fantasy.

I know baseball is all stats and humanity should stay out of it but I say drill Castillo. Maybe some testosterone flowing on both teams may change the stats and non-humanity that baseball is.

Shouldn't that say, Brewers pitchers don't magically become good once they become starters.

Is our future centerfielder currently holding down second base?

In response to the Astro fan- Would it be possible to put a keg of beer at second base so in order for runners to get past second they have to slam a plastic cup of beer? Good grief that stadium is Coors South this series.

Umm..... Wise doesn't have it? Is there some kind of rule that states the each team in the Majors must have one massive Brewer killer ( Jason Lane ) in the lineup?

I don't know if Eveland hitting a wall was because he was out of shape. There are plenty of great fat pitchers and bad fat pitchers. I think the jump in the ammount of innings probably hurt him more than his rotund mid-section.

With the lineups that Larussa has put out there, I would guess the Cardinals will be sewing Pujols on the front of their jerseys.

I think this stat is a bit misleading since one is presuming average everything across the board and are looking at it in a way that says a guy on first with no outs scores 44% of the time everytime that situation occurs. I assume this is not taking into a effect that outs may have occured while the runner is being moved around the bases to score. To make a general assumption that the guy on first with no outs is more advantageous is as flawed as the manager thinking that a guy on second with 1 out scores more often. We need a better graph or statistical percentage to make a good judgement that includes all variables. Is bunting wrong in certain situations, yes but is it also right in certain situations. There is no absolutes. Sorry I had to quick post it because I had a one year old boy looking to bang on my laptop's keyboard. Hope this is a little more clearly stated.

A quick question about the percentages of a guy on first with no outs scoring 44% of the time. I am just assuming that since you said aggregate percentage that there were numerous outcomes to get the runner on first with no outs home. How many times did that guy on first with no outs turn into a guy on second with 1 out? How many times did that guy end up on third and become a guy on third with no outs? How many times did that guy end up on second with no outs? How many times did the guy on first run into a double play? It just seems to imperfect of a percentage to say one must never try to get the guy on second with one out 99.9% of the time. I do agree that it would be ideal to never give outs up by bunting. But if a situation/managerial decision calls for a bunt I would expect a batter to get it down better than league average of 55%.

Why is Miller bunting, isn't outs at a premium right now?

Is t-bow going to save it

So who punched Butch Wynegar?

It would be nice to have our "stars" play as well as the Cardinal role players. Maybe we should make the Brewers uniforms like the Cardinals because apparently you can dress me in that uniform I will will eventually become a competent baseball player.
