I think that this is a tremendous get if they sign him. I really don't care if Morgan wears out his welcome. What I do care about is that last year was a career year and he is unlikely to repeat it. With Braun missing 50 games, to get a good of like this guy becomes almost a must.
I have already moved on to what the Brewers do next year-anyone got some ideas? I say they move Krod for a bag of peanuts and then go hard after ARam. McGehee to first and Gamel to left? Thoughts?
I was disappointed that Kotsay started last night but Ron has done a great job this year. I shouldn't be complaining about that decision-he's been perfect for the team and I hope he pulls the right strings tonight.
Ron, if Kotsay's instincts aren't as sharp because he doesn't play everyday, why is he starting then? Shouldn't you play someone who "has sharp insticts?"
Gomez gets both those balls in the first-too simple to say that was the ballgame but it could have been the difference. Kotsay replaces Hart? Is Corey going to start tomorrow?
Not sure if this is already posted somewhere but where can I find it or find the Brewer's post game show from WTMJ? I've been looking and cannot find it anywhere. Suggestions?
I don't know why others are feeling down about this game, I feel pretty good about where they are. I'm seeing a sweet comeback tonight. Just imagine the dogpile on the mound and it will happen.
What worries me more than anything is that his focus isn't on the field. If he's paying attention to the stands then he isn't paying attention to what's going on on the field. Extreme focus is what defines professinal athletes. He's not acting professional and should keep his focus on the game.
I know Betemit has been mentioned but I have thought for a while that Aviles would be a really good/cheap pick up. I have no idea what kind of defender he is but I seem to remember him at least being average. Stuggled this year offensively but has hit in the past. He's in the minors and I don't think the Royals have him in their future plans so I think he could come cheaply and be a decent upgrade. Thoughts?
Yes, pull him in the first inning. 40+ pitches increases the chances of getting injured. Now he's "settled down" and the game is over. I'm sure the players would appreciate having a different pitcher in there who can keep the game closer.
Ridiculous 21st century managing-get your long reliver in there, preserve his health, and give the team a chance to stay in the game. How do you feel if you are the other players and see the manager just give the game away in the first?
