    Just looking at Gamel, and seeing him be able to play 3rd at least passibly makes me realize he'll be a better defensive 1B than Prince. Although, Prince does look *much* better and quicker on his feet this year than last year. You can't rely on great pitching performances from mediocre pitchers in the playoffs but they happen all the time. Its building a team, within the payroll to be consistently able to contend and make the playoffs that's the goal. Trading away cheap good talent for expensive good talent will not help the team in the future.

    Adding a second stud pitcher in no way shape or form guarantees a World Series appearance. Guys get hurt (See: Sheets, Gallardo, Peavy.... ), teams with two great pitchers get beaten - see the Cubs last year. Throwing away our chances in 2011, 2012, and 2013 to improve our shot at a World Series this year by what... 5%? 6%? 10%?

    And eventually some drunk guy is going to get in a fight and knock into some kid. We need to stop beer sales.

    That simply isn't true. Ask the Phillies. Would it help our chances? Sure. Don't forget we still have on our team, the pitcher who won our only playoff game of the last 25 years as well in Dave Bush. But in my opinion, the goal needs to be to win consistently and be in or around the playoffs every year. What it comes down to is would you rather be the A's or the Indians over the last 10+ years?

    Looper. Who pitched Saturday (the day after Suppan) in the Cubs series.

    To register a domain name you need to go someplace like godaddy.com (a certified registrar) and register it through them. http://www.thesitewizard.com/archive/registerdomain.shtml

    If Cody is available to start Saturday, it could be him, coming up to fill the spot left vacant by McClung getting pulled from the rotation for one start, then bringing Parra back fresh after the ASB and one more Minor league start.

    The point isn't what he said about the series. The point is he's telling the front office what needs to be done, and he's also criticized the scouting department publicly. When you rail on your own organization, that does not need to be done through the press. If you have an issue -- with the stadium, the scouting reports, the contract of your #3 starter -- you take it up internally. You don't spout off to a reporter who can then twist your words to create controversy.

    You do know they are scheduled this way because one team has to travel after the game is over, right?So they don't get into town where ever they are going next at 3 or 4AM or whatever?

    Dear Ryan, We've been shut out twice in the last week and we just lost 2 games out of the last 5 by the score of 1-0 and 2-1 (in 10 innings). Maybe, score some freaking runs and stop worrying about the pitching. Sincerely, Yovani and Jeff Have you paid attention to any Cubs fans at all this year and their complaints about managements total inability to bring anyone in in the OF or IF?

    Lily is the only Cub on the squad. I can't believe both Lind and Pena got into the final 5 voting over Branyan. For completeness:

    Not to forget the need to completely restructure revenue sharing and TV deals as well. All a salary cap would do, would be to take money away from the players and put it in the owners pockets -- hence why the MLBPA will never allow it.

    http://milwaukee.brewers.mlb.com/media/video.jsp?content_id=5378359 To those who couldn't see it live, its up online. What a horrible, horrible call.
  15. Baldkin
    That was strike 3, right?
  16. Baldkin
    He's a 1-pitch pitcher who gets owned by lefthanded hitters. I think guys catch on if he pitches more than once through the order.
  17. Baldkin
    There will always be guys who are freaks of nature who can throw 130 pitches a start and not have problems the next week, or the next year. The issue with Gallardo, is he only threw...30 innings last year and he's still only 23. If you don't have to abuse him, and if you NEED him for the future of the franchise, why would you continue to do it? Once again, the article I linked shows a higher chance for injury the higher a pitchers pitch count goes. When a pitcher becomes fatigued is always tough to tell, a pitcher will never come out of a game voluntarily -- unless Pujols is coming up -- We can argue back and forth on how many pitches or what an arbitrary number of pitches is before injury risk really increases... but my issue with this is: Why risk the Brewers one real hope at a top of the line starter for the next 5-6 years by overworking him?
  18. Baldkin
    No, but you should remove him when he's at a high number of pitches and he's leading off an inning in a game when you're behind. Just because some pitchers can do it, doesn't mean all of them can. Why take the risk of over pitching the staff ace (for the future, and the future of this season), when you don't know if he can handle it, or if the extra workload will break him down? Injury histories, and histories of pitcher abuse *HAVE* shown that the extra 300-500 pitches DO matter. From http://www.baseball-analysis.com/article.php?articleid=2633 This isn't something that's just made up. Especially for young pitchers, high pitch counts lead to MUCH higher injury risks.

    I highly suggest parking in Skokie, and taking the yellow line to the red line to Wrigley.

    Gonna be out of town. Wasn't supposed to leave til tomorrow, but plans changed. Sorry guys.
  21. Baldkin
    Apparently he had a big scare, when the finals were assaulted by explosives. That's made him reconsider spending another season in Greece. I could really see a sign-and-trade with Luke Ridnour here.
  22. Baldkin
    Prince has hit a couple up to 407 or so. Haven't ever seen any in 420 myself though.
  23. Baldkin
    They only had 11 sweeps all of last year, it just doesn't happen that much (except against the Pirates)
  24. Baldkin
    I heard after the broadcast last night (of course, this could've simply been speculation) that the plan was after the ASB.
