Please stop using UZR/150 without having played 150 games. That's like saying a guy is on pace for 184 HRs after the first week of the season. Or Ubaldo is on pace for 30 wins this year. It really means nothing, especially with how few chances Gomez has had playing CF this year.

Delfino is a very good 3 point shooter, and will probably play a lot of minutes, both at the 3 and the 2.

If worst comes to worst, they can sign another shooter and let LeBron play-point forward. I honestly think that's the spot he'd be best suited to play.. facilitator instead of having to make every single play all the time like he did in Cleveland. The Lakers have had Derek Fisher, I wouldn't exactly call him a good point guard. LeBron and Wade are about 2 steps above anyone Boston brought to the table, even in 2008. Pierce was probably the 3rd best of the group of 6, then Bosh and Garnett being pretty close to equal. For 2011, I'd say Miami would have the best 3 players in a series vs Boston. Maybe I'd take Rondo over Bosh, but I doubt it.

Whats the rarest baseball thing you've seen in person?
Baldkin replied to InsomniacInkRoss's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Hawing, in another thread, reminded me that I was Shawn Green's 19 total base game... the MLB Record. I remember my dad getting extremely mad when they pitched to him his last AB (where he hit a HR) and passed Joe Adcock's 48 year old record of 18 Total bases in a game. -
Can the Crew still get to 3 Mil Fans
Baldkin replied to brewmann04's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
It's not that he get's too much credit, it's that Jack Z get's none of the blame for our complete and total lack of home grown starting pitchers.... while Melvin seems to get all the blame. -
I was at that game too, with my Dad. He got pretty peeved when Green got his last HR. He'd broken Joe Adcocks single game total base record which had stood for 48 years.

On average, over the last 3 seasons, teams have used between 21-23 pitchers per season. That's exactly what the Brewers have used each year... heck, they even used less in 2008.

Durant's deal is a complete steal. Compare it to Amare's deal, too.
-
No and Yes, it can be. Braddock, for example, has a babip against of .482 and an ERA of 4.91. Has he been awful? The Brewers have walked more guys than league average, but they're 4th best in K/9 and the BB's have come down a lot since a horrid May (5.09 bb/9 as a staff) -- 3.50 in June and 3.12 so far in July. BTW, their babip in May against was .356, which has skyrocketed their babip against to .328 on the season.

I had someone try to "Ice me" last night when I was out watching the game. A complete stranger, for no reason. I wasn't at a college bar. I wasn't wearing a backwards hat. Nor did I have a popped collar. Needless to say, I did not partake in this, and the lady sitting next to me got a free Smirnoff Ice.

If you can't understand that 84 games is a small sample size when talking about things (especially starting pitching) and that over half a season a teams record can be extremely volatile based on a few players performing way above or way below expectations, I'm not sure what to say. Take the 2004 Brewers for example. After 81 games they were 43-38, on pace to win 86 games. The next 81 games they went 23-58. I don't think either of those 81 game records is where the "true talent" of that team was. They would've been hard pressed to win 86, and hard pressed to only win 46. I'd say they were about a 65 to 70 win team overall, and that's where they finished. This season, thus far, the 'Crew has been extremely unlucky, and have had a majority of their poor performers come from the same spot -- the pitching staff.

When I was dating a girl a few years ago, without my knowledge she changed her ring tone in my phone to "Let's Get it On" by Marvin Gaye... which I wouldn't have had a problem with, until I forgot my phone was on and she called me in the middle of a CS Lab...

Clearly he's just too tired from moonlighting as a cook at his new restaurant.

It also happened on the 4th of July, and he was wearing a non-standard cap to celebrate the holiday, which clearly helped to cause the injury. Had the country decided to celebrate the day congress approved the declaration (July 2nd) instead of the day it was actually signed, he wouldn't have been wearing the hat and wouldn't have gotten hurt.

Edmonds is horrible. Since April, since pitchers have figured him out, he's only walked 6 times in 115 PAs and is OBPing a Gomezian .290. Thinking he brings anything to the table over Gomez at this time is just silly.

It looks to me like his bat is a bit more vertical this year, and his stance is more open but the biggest difference is his entire body is more vertical when he coils to swing this season as well. For a guy who came into this season with nearly an 1.100 OPS vs lefties for his career, who's now barely over .700 on the season, it seems as though something may be wrong.

Yes, this is extremely scary. Its really shortsighted to keep Yo active when a DL stint would only cost him a few days in the best case scenario. I'll be surprised if Yo makes another start in July. Yeah, a DL stint would now cost him 1 start since he's being skipped in his next one. No reason not to do it. You protect your future, don't risk anything with Yovani.
-
Since the end of April, Edmonds is OBPing under .300. He's drawn just 6 walks in 120 PA. That's CarGomezian.

Geoff Jenkins to officially retire as a Milwaukee Brewer.
Baldkin replied to Invader3K's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Unlike that Ben Sheets guy. Can't even win when he throws a 1 hitter! Ha! What a loser! -
Didn't he get picked off last week sometime too?

I love Geoff... but I'll never forget... June 8th, 2004 -
What I really love about the team is the matchup flexibility. Lots of guys who can play 2 positions to match up if a team goes big or small. Gooden can play C, not well defensively but he can do it. Delfino can play both the 3 and the 2, Luc & Ersan can play the 3 and the 4. Just loving it.
