    There goes the streak. And this is turning into one of those old school Brewers/Cubs last-place battles from the early late 90s/early 2000s.

    Looks like the right call.
  3. owbc
    I've never seen Conrad bat before. He looks like he's trying to hit it 500 feet.

    Luc!!!!!!!! I'm glad to be proven wrong about this game. Thanks Cubs bullpen!

    Josh Hamilton just hit HR #16. He's on pace for 79. It would be interesting if he could make a run at 61 this year.
  6. owbc
    Well this is getting interesting now. Lucroy time.
  7. owbc
    Corey Hart has basically evolved into a right-handed Geoff Jenkins at the plate.

    I think if I was Sveum I wouldn't throw Braun another strike the rest of the series. Edit: At least Ramirez woke up. But no luck on getting it over the fence.

    It doesn't even matter if the call to Weeks was questionable. He's completely lost and just begging to draw a walk. The umpire isn't going to give him that pitch.

    It doesn't even matter if the Cubs bullpen is bad, this lineup is even worse. Besides Braun there's really nothing.
  11. owbc
    At this point I'm starting to doubt they will get back to .500 this year.
  12. owbc
    It seems like almost every game there's a situation where we could have used Prince Fielder in the lineup. They just pitch around Braun.

    It's tickets sold, they do that in virtually all sports now. And as with all MLB teams, 80-90% of attendance is decided the year before. The Twins will continue to consistently draw crowds of >30,000 the whole year except maybe in September. Despite what announcers and ESPN say, it has nothing to do with the "loyalty" of the fan base, they already bought their tickets and it's too late. Hence the low resale values. It's already easy to predict that next year the Twins will have the #1 drop in attendance. The Marlins will probably be #2 and if the Brewers keep at a < 80 win pace, they will lose several thousand fans per game in 2013 as well. The Angels are also looking like a candidate for attendance problems in 2013. This stuff is easy to predict and I'm sure every front office knows it.

    I have to give the Twins fans credit, they are still averaging 33,000 per game despite last year's awful team. Many people must have thought 2011 was a fluke and renewed their season tickets! They will probably have a huge attendance drop next year.

    It's a small sample. [sarcasm]There's no way they can keep winning that many night games.[/sarcasm]
  16. owbc
    Was an exciting finish, they made a game of it. That's all you can ask for.
  17. owbc
    The last pitch to Ramirez was a strike. Hart misses by about 3 feet.
  18. owbc
    Now that 2nd run really hurts.
  19. owbc
    100-100-99-101 mph to Weeks. The old Rickie could catch up to that. Maybe his bat speed is down?
  20. owbc
    Fantastic performance by Greinke. 8 IP, 2 H, 11 K. Faced 2 over the minimum. Would be a shame if he doesn't get the win.
  21. owbc
    The Reds announcers are discussing the relationship between BABIP and ERA. Never going to hear that in a Brewers broadcast.
  22. owbc
    Yes we do, Braun included. None of them are natural at 1B, any move would be forced. When the time comes, it would be better to trade an outfielder and sign/develop a new 1B.
  23. owbc
    I don't see the point of a lakefront arena. What makes the lakefront better? That it has a nice view? I don't see any advantage. If you want to get those big conventions, the arena should be adjacent to the hotels and convention center in an entertainment district. That should be the goal. Site acquisition is literally almost half the battle in getting a new arena built. It's a big reason why Miller Park was built next to County Stadium. If public finds are involved, there isn't going to be money to spare to acquire a new site.

    Jogging after fly balls in the outfield isn't going to tire out Braun's legs. Moving him to 1B also decreases his value, unless he gets really, really bad at defense. Not going to happen until the end of the decade at the soonest, unless the is a serious need at 1B.

    I didn't realize you couldn't see the goalie, yikes. I only sat up there once alongside the faceoff circle--could see both goalies but had to lean forward to see the glass closest to me--and I was only about halfway up. It made sense to design the arena for basketball. Seating in the lower two tiers is fine for hockey.
