A 4 pitch walk to Eric Byrnes is a pretty clear sign to almost anyone except Ned Yost that Cappy was done. Really at that point you couldn't ask more of Cappy, Yost needs to manage more with the brain and less with the gut....poor decision making Ned....3 pitches and a DP for Lehr....making Neds (non)move more costly. -
4/5 "Other games thread"
Silicon Based Lifeform replied to princeginterhallhelms04's topic in Archived Game Threads
Bottom of the 6th in ChiTown....3 HBP, 1BB, 2 runs....didn't see the HBP, but you gotta wonder if the White Sox were leaning into the pitches....Cliff Lee was mowing the Sox down so it's hard to believe he lost his control that bad (2HBP and 1BB for him, 1 HBP for a reliever)....WSox 3, Indians 2... man, the tigers are killing the royals. I think the "Gotta Suck to be a Fan of _______" will be filled by "Royals" this year and the next few.....yet Allard Baird still has a GM job.... -
No Worries!

smart move with the IBB.....At least Prince cant GIDP with a K...
-
Brady just did Prince a huge favor....If Hardy, Jenkins, and Lee go 1-2-3 in the eight, Prince won't have to face batting again.

MLB.TV Nirvana.....Video with Uecker PBP......why can't that always be the case!

Is that Jenkins's 4th K of the season? And Brady gets thrown out? I'd feel more optimistic about the season if last season's horrors could be avoided. Well it's only the first 2 games of the season, but looking at Jenks he sure is taking his customary approach at the plate. It's more than just one season for Jenkins, this is his history. What's a little disappointing is that we've been told that Jenkins learned a lot last year when his back was hurt and he had his hot streak. I don't see any new approach and his horrible leg kick is back. Can you say K machine? I had a bad feeling about Brady's running for this year and the fact that Davey Nelson said on one of the televised ST games that they want Brady to run more AND steal 3B much more....can't they see he has no speed and bad instincts.....oh well...hopefully the rest of the team will make up for some of these mistakes.

Sorry, but this is the time of year he should be doing this. Yes Spring Training is the time you "experiment" or test out new things, but given Neds history of not learning from his mistakes (Magruder getting any AB and Clark on the basepaths last year) it seems odd that Yost is giving him so much time to suck. How long was the "experiment" with Weeks batting leadoff?
-
I know it's only spring training and a small sample size, but this is making me crazy: CS: Clark (3, 2nd base by Lopez, J/Molina). PO: Clark (1st base by Lopez, J). What part of Brady Clark being a horrible baserunner is not clear to Yost? Sure Brady has 6 SB this spring, but he also has 3 CS and he's been picked off at least twice. Shheeesh....

Say a prayer that the "discomfort" is merely scar tissue acting up as they predicted and not some problem gone unrecognized when this all started last season. That was my exact thought when I heard that he had "discomfort". I wouldn't be suprised if it's just scar tissue. The other possibility is that Ben really needs a good stretching program. He shouldn't be having as many muscle problems as he does unless he sits around playing Playstation, watching TV, or surfing the web most of the time and not spending enough time stretching. It's amazing how many "athletes" completely ignore flexibility as a key part of their "workout".

Two things I've learned so far in spring training: 1) Brady Clark still sucks on the basepaths and neither he nor Ned understand. 2) Chad Moeller can't stop anything that hits the dirt. In fact I'd love to have a contest where the first person with evidence of "Pitch in the Dirt, Moeller blocks it" would get a prize. Every time I listen to the games or watch them I hear "Pitch in the dirt, gets by Moeller for a WP". I swear the man can't block a single ball in the dirt. You'd think by chance one or two balls would bounce off his feet at least and stay in front of him. [/end rant] -
Yes, they just corrected themselves that it's not Reggie Weeks, it's Rickie Weeks. Spring Training even for the announcers.
-
Hardy with Monster HR. Edit: The Seattle feed is really hard to understand. Thought they said weeks initially. Edit 2: Is my feed really bad, because I swear they keep saying Reggie Weeks.

I am with Greg 100%, not that we really should be taking sides, but in the context that he represents many concerns that I also share. While I'm newer to the site than Greg, I was also upset at the closing of the thread for the exact reasons Greg so eliquently discussed. I also realize the mods jobs are hard (I've made a few mistakes myself that have lead to some nasty exchanges and hopefully I've learned from my mistakes.) To me, that's a good reason for locking a thread. I disagree strongly. The problem is that the decision as to what is not substantial dialogue/information is extremely subjective. I've found tens of threads to provide absolutely no substantial or informative dialogue. Heck 95% of the Trade Rumors forum is not substantial or informative. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif If you use that criteria I think you will find more cases of posters questioning such criteria and more claims that Brewerfan.net is elitist. I agree with having set standards on dialogue, and civility, and politics, because those can be pretty well differentiated (while there has been some grey area for civility and politics) for the most part, but adding a very subjective criteria such as substantial and informative dialogue is gonna open a whole can of worms. Thanks for the great job all those associated with BF.net do to make the forums and the site the best place to learn and discuss the Brewers.
