    Part of the bad pitching during this crop is also from the bad defense this crop gives you. We haven't developed any pitchers outside of two (Sheets and YoGa), but the trades and FA have brought pitchers into the Majors. Guys like Bush and Suppan can't be expected to get 4-5 outs an innning, and that's what this defense does. I think Hardy is about equal to Escobar starting next year. Hardy will have the more developed bat, but Escobar will the better natural defense. The buisness side of limited revenue baseball says keep the cheaper of the two and get what you can in a trade with the other. I'd like to keep Hardy and have him play 3rd, but he's made it clear he won't do it. The only other options are to move the better defender to 3B or to convince Hardy to sign a 6 year deal that will only pay him what Escobar will make during that time. I don't see either of those happening.

    Or maybe they should incorporat a DiceK signing into the draft. The BoSox signed a foreign player and that counts as their first round pick. That would allow the rich teams to get those MLB ready players and allow the poorer teams better picks (because Boston pick would just be skipped). It's not a total evening of the playing field, but it helps.

    His OBP from 06-08 is .285. This year against RHP his OBP is .211. We'd be better off sticking Hall back in CF.

    Counsell and Kendall are normal day starters against RHP. Gerut was the only real back up in the lineup today.

    I think it has more to do with the fact that it is hard to sweep a major league team. I'm also sure that the Mets fans were going nuts when they put a 2 time Cy Young award winning pitcher out there and he gets outpitched by a 30yo making his 2nd career start.

    OPS is a good stat to use to evaluate players. It is not the be all end all stat. Some people seem to think that if you follow OPS, you only follow OPS and only like walks. In the 60s and 70s, players were judged on their BA, now it's moved to OPS. I won't say that the guy with a .787 (Counsell) is better than the guy with a .778 (Hart), I'll call it pretty even with the one slightly ahead right now. If the difference was .787 (Counsell) vs .608 (Hall), I will easily say one is better than the other. I take my girl to the park all the time. She only knows about the Brewers, she doesn't know any of the opposing players. But she can look at OPS and tell generally how good the player has been playing. Between a race car driver and a person with a masters in structural engineering, I'll assume the engineer is right when we're talking about what features to have in a car to survive a car crash. I don't care how many more hours the driver has spent in a car, one has specialty knowledge that the other doesn't.

    Last year, the Yankee's drew an average of 53,069 fans per game. That's 92% of capacity of the old Yankee Stadium. They're still on the percentage pace, but the stadium holds fewer fans. The Mets drew to 89% capacity last year. If the Yankees had sold out every game this year, they still would have averaged 1000 less fans per game because the stadium just doesn't hold that many. Last year the Mets averaged 51165 per game, while Citifield only holds 41,800. I think that's the difference right there.

    So if Counsell is what causes WS rings and Grace only won a ring playing on Counsell's team, what does that say about Grace's ability as a ballplayer?

    IIRC, DM shut down the entire Asian scouting department of the Brewers because he knew he would never have the money to land a FA from there anyway. He believed the money would be better spent scouting and developing Latin American players that the Brewers had a shot of signing. If a high school player spends one year in the IL, is he a free agent? He would no longer be an amateur player. Maybe signing a player from another league should cost a draft pick. If NY or Bos want the next Asian star, they can sign them but then lose a first round pick the next draft. Nobody gets the pick, there's just one less pick that year.

    The ability to buy extra tickets is cool. I don't get metavante passes. I've never been up there during a game. My tickets are "not good enough" to get them. StubHub is available to everyone. Postseason is great if they want to get their more than once a quarter century. Anybody can buy discounted parking tickets, all you have to do is ask at least 24 hours before game time. Then I'm not buying parking to games I'm not attending. The free media guide is a cool, albeit cheap, perk. Perks they used to have but took away: free shoulder patch that the players wear that year, taking batting practice at MP (this is the one I miss the most), signed bat from the reigning RotY.

    Melvin went and traded for the offensive upgrade in Estrada. There really aren't any answers to be found at C unless you seriously overpay. We might have to go back to the years of Moeller/Osik/etc. Except we already have their offense in Kendall.

    I checked my signed bat, and it also says 35 31.5.

    I could not get into ME. It's a FPS with some light RPG elements. I like the D&D feeling of KOTOR/Jade Empire when you set the "pause after round" option.

    I hope they think they should start him over any of those three.

    I used to play, but couldn't stand the cheating. I was ranked at the highest rank, and started to get tired of the way some people talked there. Some think they know everything, or think that I should know exactly what cards are in their hand. They'd then get mad when I'd win. I also couldn't stand that you'd get yelled at if you didn't make a move in 3 seconds. Sometimes the connection is slow and it took a while for me to see what other people had played. Also, work finally figured out how to block the site. I played a lot while on the clock, but no more.

    You could also release some test balloons. Mention around the library that you were thinking of going back to school. Ask how much of a notice they would want if you decide to go back to school. That will give you direct feedback of whether they want advanced notice or how high the chances of them keeping you are.

    Boo at making this an MMO. The game just went from must own to never even bother reading the reviews.

    Because one day he'll be arrested and sentenced to one year by the fasion police.

    Any nicknames for Wisconsinites?

    It was a shock that last night's crowd was so nice since it was TWC Customer Night.

    Why was Votto lifted from the game? I was at the game and didn't see why he left.
  23. RightFieldCoder
    I saw the mist after the game. About the 3rd inning I realized I missed the chance to see it in the first so I was looking for it at the end. It was a very fine mist. They did mention that the amount of spray will depend on weather, and it was cold yesterday. It will proably be heavier when it's 90 out. [again, I'm not against the idea. I'm just playing devil's advocate] You can't really plan to be at the concession stand or elsewhere when it goes off. Who knows when a HR or walk-off is going to be hit? And why would I want to leave my seat with 2 outs and Hoffman on the bump? What about St. Louis fans? How can the Brewers be so disrespectful and rub it in their faces when a HR is hit? Water has no place in baseball. [/ devi'ls advocate] B&B were doing the Donkey Deck last year as well. But they only talk about it on the B&B Show, and even then it isn't mentioned much. The fans never get into it like the Bucket Brigaders. It is more an extention of the Miller Lite Party Section they have on Fridays, an area for a bunch of pub goers to have their party at the game.

    Or that my Cowboys have 5 SB victories.

    I can't believe the Orioles ever won 3 in a row. They were the Milwaukee Brewers and then the St. Louis Browns. IIRC, they were horrible in each city and barely had any WS appearances. I don't think Baltimore ever saw 3 in a row, so that's my guess.
