Conrad's going to belt a HR tonight. -
The AP article says the Dodgers hadn't been swept in a 4-game series at home in 20 years. I've been really down on the team this year and I still have my doubts, but I'm really excited for this homestand now and hopefully they can keep the momentum going.
-
I like So Cal's attitude about the lineup :-) I'm looking forward to the long homestand, these 10 PM EDT starts are great for the Brewers fans out west but not so much for me and the others out east. This is the last one actually--and there are only 2 games left the whole year (in Colorado) that start later than 8:30 eastern time. Sweep the Dodgers.

Random MLB News And Discussion 2012
owbc replied to RightFieldCoder's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Not sure if this was mentioned elsewhere, but Nyjer Morgan still has 0 RBI this year. -
Looked at the box score this morning, biggest surprise was not that the Brewers won but that Jamey Wright is still in the major leagues.
-
I have a feeling we will look back in five years and ask, "Who the heck were Fiers and Maldonado???"
-
So our best player is going to miss up to 1/4 of the season because he (probably) punched something? He has good reason to make up a story because he's going to look like a complete idiot if the truth comes out.
-
Fun thread! In January I had a fibula stress fracture and I currently have mild patellar tendonitis. Both from distance running. I was injury-free in 2011 so I guess I am having the same bad luck as the Brewers.

How big of an effect would selling have on attendance?
owbc replied to adambr2's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
75 losses, no "selling": 2.6-2.7 million fans 70 losses, "selling" starting in June: 2.5-2.6 million fans It would make almost no difference because the team would be in 4th or 5th place either way and most tickets have already been sold. I'm trying to think how it would affect 2013 attendance, but if Greinke and K-Rod are gone either way, the drop in attendance in 2013 will be mostly dependent upon new acquisitions. Even with the drop in revenue, they will have some cash to work with--although so will a number of other teams since attendance and revenue is up throughout baseball this year. I assume that they will wait until July to start selling, since I know a decent portion of the fanbase and the front office seems to think that this season has some hope yet. -
78-86, 77-85, same difference :-) I find it hard to believe that 70-some win Brewers team with Greinke will draw many more fans than a 70-some win Brewers team without Greinke. People will go to games in the summer no matter what and the stadium is going to be empty in September if they are out of the race. The main concern should be 2013 season ticket renewals. I haven't been to Miller Park this year, what does the "average fan" think when they announce the lineup and sees that 50% of the starting 8 makes Yuni B look like an all-star in comparison. I find it hard to believe that any unbiased observer would think that mid-season moves could save the season. Everything is compounded because they were already playing bad before the injury bug even hit--if this team was a few over .500 right now and trying to hang on despite injuries, I would have a different outlook. But instead they have to first get out of a giant hole before even thinking about contending. I don't know if this team would have contended without injuries, but I suspect they would have at least competed. At least with a quality roster there is always hope that guys wake up. Now, the roster is full of players that belong in Nashville--not just on the bench, but starting every day! And they aren't even highly regarded prospects either, just 4-A or journeymen. At this point, the least they can do is start Taylor Green every day.
-
At this point their playoff odds are around 6% or so. They probably have about a 15% chance of finishing .500 or better. I think even going one over .500 the rest of the way to finish 78-86 would be a significant accomplishment. Talent wise, the roster isn't even as good as the 2006 team that won 75 games--and the division and National League are much improved since then. The current roster would have trouble winning 70 games. Outside of Weeks, nobody else is performing especially horribly--maybe below expected, but not significantly. If they trade Greinke, a 95 loss season isn't out of the question.
-
I guess Ishikawa is injured and may go on the DL. Ramirez is out injured also. This team is finished.
-
They tried to go to 2nd but it was late. It was a slow hopper and the runner going from 2nd to 3rd stopped Izturis from charging in. Now a 3-run double that one-hopped the wall.
-
Aoki was out but it took the super slow motion to tell.
-
Great, this makes up for those Fox Saturday blackouts that seem to be every week this year.
-
Where are the Sounds right now? This is probably going to be an 11-10 game. They might be able to get someone in town by the 7th or 8th inning.
-
Yep he's done. Can't tell exactly what part of the upper leg it was but it sure looked like a pull. 6 runs on 2 hits.
-
Estrada just stepped on 1B funny and pulled his hamstring. He's going to have to be taken out, he's limping badly.
-
Gomez was swinging out of his shoes. Grand slam or nothing.
-
Zito is still horrible. I can't believe he actually had decent numbers this year. Edit: the defense isn't helping either
-
It's nice when you get past the #5 spot and you get 4 free outs.

I never heard of them before today so I guess that's one person. I don't think it is worth it either but just the announcement of the deal today probably got them $1 million worth of press.
-
I hate to sit Lucroy, but is catching too much, he needs the rest. At least our DH problem is solved this year.
