  1. Well, good thing we scored before Rickie had the chance to go ahead and strike out.
  2. At this point they may as well just intentionally walk Kendall to load 'em for Rickie.
  3. Fair question. I guess if it were September. Yes. Or playoff baseball, ABSOLUTELY. But in April, on back to back days, I just think doing that every time the situation arises will burn out your closer. (unless you plan on your team being bad and not having a whole lot of save situations). Mabe this is bad logic. I don't know. I'm just thinking long-term. I have NO problem with the premise of bringing him in being the "right" move. I just feel like it runs the risk of burning him out. The "burnout" argument holds merit, it's really the only argument I can understand for why you shouldn't do it. Mathematically, if we were assuming any pitcher can throw an unlimited amount throughout the year, it would be in a team's best interest to use the better relievers first to ensure that the tie is not broken and therefore the offense continues to get chances to win. But if you're saying that doing it throughout the course of the year may put too much of a strain on your closer and make him ineffective later in the year, I can buy that.
  4. Wow. I'm pleasantly surprised with how Stetter has looked today.
  5. And I don't understand this logic at all. Somehow your closer can only come in with a lead, but your lesser relievers are fine to bring in when giving up 1 run will lose the game?
  6. Please can we get one off Cordero today??
  7. Bill: "That was a strike yesterday, but it was a consistent strike all day." No it wasn't, Bill. Are you high?
  8. It's going to be hard to go 22 innings otherwise with only Kapler, Consell and Rivera on the bench. What do you mean? I'm sure old Shousie can hit! http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif
  9. Ah crap, I thought that was out of play.
  10. Sometimes I think of Yost as a mad scientist. He's just kind of out there, experimenting, not really knowing what he is doing, but content in the knowledge that he is the one wearing the lab coat.
  11. Can we ever do anything against Harang. Just once?
  12. Gallardo at 101 pitches. Might be it for him, great first outing back if it is.
  13. Uh-oh, Dunn....You know Dusty HATES called third strikes.
  14. Well, we start the inning with a double, and the inning ends with him still standing at 2nd base. Sweet.
  15. Whew. If we can get one more inning out of Gallardo with no further damage, that would be just perfect for his first start back.
  16. Yo does not look right at all right now.
  17. I am so sick of seeing Yo out there getting squeezed every inning with the massive strike zone that Harang is getting.
  18. For whatever reason, Hall hesitated coming out of the box, otherwise he might beat that out.
  19. Man JJ smoked that one! That's the pitch he loves!
  20. Blech....when your pitcher doubles, you need to help him out and drive him in....
