    I would all for Gallardo in the 8th. Yo at 5% is better than Gagne or Mota at 100% http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif I would be really tough to put him in the rotation. Who do you even take out, they have been pitching so well. The top cadidate might be Parra in order to limit his innings but I am not sure about Parra in the pen, not sure how effective he would be. I say put Gallardo in the 7th-8th inning. He would single handedly improve the bullpen by A LOT.

    This could fit in very nicely with our "Wild thing" bullpen.

    I will add that I think Gillies is over rated (Both the original in Milwaukee and the one in FDL). I will take A & W Drive In everday of the week over Gillies.

    Pigs certainly attack, didn't anyone see Silence of the Lambs (I don't think it was SOL, perhaps Hannibal?) I lived on a pig farm until I was 6 or 7. I had a reoccuring dream of killer pigs and me having to climb my swing set to escape them. Sadly our entire population of pigs caught some weird disease so we had to give up the profession. Can't say I was all that upset although it created quite a financial hardship

    Gagne is the new Turnbow. He looks good for 4 consecutive games and lulls us into believing in him and then he goes out and gets shelled in a big game. It seems as soon as he gives up a hit he completely loses it. To throw an 0-2 pitch to a power hitter where he threw it is just mind boggling Bill I know you played some good defense yesterday but that was just pathetic at the plate, did you even have your eyes open when you swung?

    I am going to 3 games in 4 days starting on Wednesday. Thus far this year I have only gone to 2 games. Plus 2 of the 3 games are free!!!! O and if we are going to lose it might as well be on a day that the Cubs, Cards, and Phils also lose. Takes the sting off although I am still pissed at Gagne

    Yes...their announcer was ripping Ned for "crying like a 5 year old" after the game yesterday. He went on to say that is a hit 100% of the time and the Brewers should be worrying about not blowing their playoff shot like they did last year.Should a Mets announcer really bring up blowing playoff chances? Seriously. He just sounds like a moron and no that is not a hit 100% of the time. LaRoche was out by 10 feet but it doesn't pay to argue the point anymore

    Fielder is in some kind of funk. Swings at Ball 4 and then K's

    I can't believe this. Read the recap on yahoo sports. They say that the ball was hit so soft that CC might not have been able to throw LaRoche out even if he had fielded it cleanly. That is so blatantly untrue I don't know what to make of it. Perhaps the AP guy is friends with the official scorer. If CC fields it cleanly LaRoche is out by 3 steps.

    They appealled a hit against Mota earlier this year. They got it reversed and Mota lost a couple of earned runs

    I have never been so pissed off after a 7-0 CG win. I could have just watched a no hitter but some random guy blows an obvious call and screws over all of Brewer nation and all of baseball. The Pirates fans were cheering him to change the score for god sakes. LaRoche wasn't even half way down the stinking line
  12. fondybrewfan
    Things are going good right, Brewers winning, Cubs and Cardinals losing. I suppose if the Phils and Cubs could both lose that would be even better
  13. fondybrewfan
    Holy jeez, CC never do that again
  14. fondybrewfan
    I wouldn't be opposed to that at all if we have the wild card sown up by then. If it is going to come down to the last series I would be inclined to keep him in there as long as he isn't showing any signs of wearing down. The way Soup has pitched of late (although he gave up his fair share or hard hit outs today) makes me a little more confident in him come playoff time although I don't know if it is a lock that Suppan would be taken over Bush. But since Soup has the playoff experience I would have to believe that he would be the choice

    No, no, a thousand times no. The myth of Shouse being decent against right handers is another Yostian thing that just isn't true no matter how much Brian and Bill talk about it. He still can't get them out, about all he has going for him is luck. He hasn't become a different pitcher, he still throws the same and over the last three years his split vs RHB is.314/.388/.451. I made no mention of his performance against righties the last 3 years. THIS year he is .284/.365/.407 for an OPS agaisnt of .772. I would consider that pretty good but not great by any means. Yeah in the last 3 years it doesn't look as good but is only because his 2006 numbers were atrocious against righties. Even in 2007 he was .295/.352/.337 for an OPS against of .689. That is pretty damn good. He gives up his fair share of hits but in the last two years righties have a pretty bad slugging percentage against him. I don't know if you can call him lucky in regards to his SLG because it has happend in each of the last 2 years. He is not nearly as bad against righties as you think he is. His 2006 numbers really skew everything when he had a .936 OPS against. I have said earlier on this board that righties have dinked and dunked off of him this year but his slugging percentages indicate that not to many righties hit him with any authority. I'll take that from a lefty specialist any day I never said he was a world beater but those numbers seem to show me pretty conclusively that he has been solid. Obviously we have better options against righties in our bullpen but I am pretty confident with Shouse out there.

    Ha Braden Looper. You Suck!!! O and yay Corey Hart I have a lot of anger and hostility directed at the Cardinals right now, I hope the Astros just annihilate them
  17. fondybrewfan
    So they would rather show a Pac 10 football game that no one cares about over a Brewers game while they are in a playoff race? Makes sense to me
  18. fondybrewfan
    Why is this game not on FSN right now? This is not cool
  19. fondybrewfan
    The Astros have apparently killed the "sleeping giant" The "superior" team ya know the one that has all the class because they won before is now 4.5 games back

    I was told Channel #73 in FDL but I haven't been home to check. This is the former SOAP channel.

    I actually sleep on the couch most nights during the summer. This isn't because we don't like each other rather that I give off a lot of body heat and tend to breathe heavily when I am in a deep sleep. When it is cold out we will open the window and sleep in the same bed. I also like to fall asleep watching TV. We both think we are kind of weird but it is more of a comfort thing rather than a " Go sleep on the #*D couch you blankity blankity blank"

    How do parking prices at Miller Park vary from other venues? It may be comparing apples and oranges since many stadiums are in dense areas where parking is at a premium. It seems to me that no other MLB team can offer the game day package that the Brewers can (relatively cheap tickets, no tailgating restrictions, a good team)

    I don't know if it was his decision making rather it was a ppor throw. IMO a good throw to the plate would have gotten Ludwick. Kendall had that ball on the 1st base side of home plate and Ludwick was still a couple strides from home. There is a lot of blame to go around for last nights game.

    This is a vent that really isn't a vent. Shouse and Riske just sucked last night no matter what way you slice it. I don't really understand what the Yost issue is here. Riske pitched last night and looked good and he is more capable of going on back to back days. Shouse has been at least solid this whole year against righties (Not awesome but solid) but as someone else previously mentioned two of the guys he faced were switch hitters. So the choice came down to Shouse against a couple righties or Mota against a couple lefties. I think he made the right choice. No matter what decision he made Ned would get criticized for it. If Riske hadn't thrown 0-2 pitches right down the middle Ned probably wouldn't have been put in that position.
