Ellis went full chucker mode down late and against in OT, and everything good I said about him last post he does this and makes it a moot point. That was a game the Bucks could of won, despite shooting a terrible 5-29 from 3PT. The ref's were terrible as usual, the Heat shot 33 FT and the Bucks shot 12. Now obviously, when you have LeBron James and Dwayne Wade you are going to get more free throw chances but come on. Monta Ellis gets fouled at least 2 or 3 times a game and it doesn't get called. Just because he is still quick enough to get the shot up, doesn't mean he isn't getting fouled. On the foul Sanders got ejected, that was about as clean as you could get. Frustrated that the refs threw him out so fast but he needs to control his anger a little better. John Henson played a unbelievable game after that however. I know we get frustrated with Ellis at times, but the person we need to be most upset with is Ersan Ilyasova. He has been probably the worst starter in the NBA up to this point. He isn't scoring at all and can't hit the ocean if he was standing on a boat, but he isn't even playing any defense or rebounding at all either. He needs to figure it out or Henson and Sanders should start to steal more min from him.

The whole, "He hit this for his career, so why is he a hitting coach" thing is stupid. I wasn't the greatness basketball player, that doesn't mean I can't coach it well. -
The reason we struggle to score is because we employ low ts% chuckers in the backcourt. I can live with Jennings because he's an ok defender and a much better outside shooter, but I can't stand watching Monta play. An efficient, low usage SG would do wonders for this team. ANYTIME Monta shoots a long 2 it's a loss for the Bucks. Smart teams like SA, Mia, and OKC employ their whole defensive strategy around that premise. Smart teams like SA, Mia and OKC also have superstar players which the Bucks do not have.

He shot 50% on the game. He should be shooting. He hit 2 cold blooded shots against NO on Saturday. Does he shoot to much at times? Yup. But this is who he is, and on a team that struggles to score at times and a team that plays great defense I have no problem with it.

Great first game by Milwaukee. They went into Boston and completely had their way with them. Great team defense and hustle all around, really shocking to see. Jennings played a great game, scored 21 points and dished out 13 assist. Larry Sanders and Udrih were monsters on defense and Illyasova had great hustle the entire game. Tobias Harris played unreal as well. Scoring 18 and playing great defense on Pierce. Loved the pushing of the ball in transition to get quick shots. Yes, Ellis and Jennings will take stupid shots, however so far so good.

This is hilarious. Soriano, Washington, 2006: .277, .351, .560.... .911 Hamilton 2012: .285, .354, .577.... .930. One was 30 years old, the other 31. One averaged 155 games over the previous 6 years, the other, 111. I want no part of Hamilton. Soriano's career OPS after that year was .836 Hamilton's career OPS is .913 Josh Hamilton has been a elite hitter the past 3 years. Including OPSing over 1.000 his MVP year. Yes I know he will be 32 next year. Aramis Ramirez was 34 this year and posted a OPS of .901. I am not saying give him a 7 year deal, but if we can get him for a reasonable 5 year deal, the amount of people shying away from him confuses me. A 5 year deal will bring him to the age of 36. Soriano had a OPS of .821 this year. He is "36" His career OPS is .828.

The guy has a OPS of .913 and we are acting like we are thinking about going after Alfonso Soriano

The Detroit Tigers have been around for a long time. Delmon Young now is the all time leader in post season home runs. His WAR this year was -0.7 -
The Speed/Power Milwaukee Brewers

I think Aoki would have taken more time from Gomez in CF. After Gamel got hurt, they used Ishikawa at 1B until giving Hart a shot. Only then did Aoki move over to RF. By then he was already taking the majority of starts in CF. And would of greatly hurt our team defensively, and wouldn't of allowed Gomez to shine like he has recently. -
Kyle Lohse rbi double. Yup.
-
Something called Pete Kozma just tripled for St. Louis. I hate having to root for Houston.
-
That double play ball by Gallardo is probably why you bunt..
-
Ryan Braun is beyond good.
-
UN REAL!!! #believe

Matt Carpenter homered for St. Louis to tie the game back up at 2. Padres just had a 2 out rally and are back up 3-2. Come on, Padres!

Fighting for a chance to get into a one-game playoff to be the last team in the postseason is definitely not a pennant race. I realize this is the optimism thread, but the Brewers are fighting to finish with the 5th best record in the NL. Really? First off it's not a one game playoff to be the last team. If you win the 2nd wild card you are technically in the playoffs. You can hang a banner for it and everything. So by default, yes the Brewers are in a pennant race. Second off, fighting for the 5th best record in the NL? The Cardinals last year, the Marlins twice, The Red Sox in 04, the Angels in 02 all have won the world series as the wild card. I highly doubt they were "fighting for 4th best record".
-
Did't you say the A's were not in the playoff race as well? They are 2.5 games out of the wild card race. That statement makes no sense at all.
-
Because he caught it.
-
ARAMA BOMB!!
-
Why in the world would you want that to happen?
-
Well unless they stop playing at Miller Park next year, it really shouldn't be an issue.
-
Casey McGehee was never the prospect Carlos Gomez was. Gomez in the 2nd half before today.. .296/.363/.549/.912 Gomez was rushed to the majors too soon. Labeled a bust and has not gotten consistent at bats since 2008 when he was 22. Play him everyday, bat him 8th. Enjoy. Repeat.
-
The A's are currently 4.5 back of the division, are are leading the Wild Card race. It's August 2nd. To say they are "not contenders" is one of the strangest posts I have seen on here before.
-
In the 2nd half alone Gomez is... .320/.386/.620/1.006 The point is, was? Gomez batting second shouldn't really bother anyone. If Morgan is batting 2nd and Weeks is 6th or whatever, then yes that bothers me.
-
Gomez since July 1st .274/.333/.548/.881 Gomez probably should get more at bats going forward because we need to see if he can handle everyday next year. Hitting him 2nd right now is not a big deal.
